'The threat ... is real': Hunter Biden legal team warned of Trump 'vengeance' in lead-up to President Biden issuing pardon

Source: Law & Crime

Hunter Biden’s legal team released a report over the weekend that included a “stark warning” that the first son may face retribution at the hands of incoming President-elect Donald Trump. With the election of the 45th and soon-to-be 47th president, the “threat against Hunter is real,” his lawyers claim. The report was released on Saturday ahead of President Joe Biden issuing a full federal pardon for his son on Sunday night.

The 52-page report, obtained by the Washington Post and Washington Examiner, laid out the criminal prosecutions that led to convictions for Hunter Biden. “Here, in one place, is the complete and reprehensible history of the political persecution of Hunter Biden,” one of Biden’s lawyers, Abbe Lowell, said in a statement. “This is a seven-year saga propelled by an unrelenting political desire to use a son to hurt his father.”

With Trump coming to power in January, things could have become dicey for the president’s son if he weren’t pardoned. Per the Post, the report contains a timeline of the allegations against Hunter Biden.

“It is a wild and terrifying story that serves as a stark warning of what is to come as some of the same Republicans who targeted Hunter prepare to resume power and have stated their intention to use the government’s vast power to pursue their perceived enemies,” Lowell said. Hunter Biden could have faced serious jail time for crimes ordinary citizens would not be prosecuted, his lawyers argue.

Especially when that relative is unqualified and/or has a sketchy past with criminal or unethical behavior.

Which, of course, does not apply to Joe Biden and his son Hunter.

I wonder what Garland is thinking.

Oh, probably not much. Maybe whether to have vanilla or hazelnut creamer in his coffee. Garland was an albatross filled with lead fishing weights these last few years. As useless as teats on a boar.

Epstein was 'allowed' to end him self for example.
And Michael Cohen was jerked back from home release back into solitary confinement because he would not sign and NDA.

Hunter would not be safe in the system under Trump.

"threats" and "vengeance" from incoming, for any reason, is absurd.

Props to President Biden.
