Hunter Biden is an embarrassment to us all
He doesn’t need any protecting
The Biden administration has it backward.
It is not Hunter Biden who needs protection from the public, it’s the public that needs protection from Hunter Biden. After all, it was Hunter, President Biden’s drug-addled son, who appeared ready to gun down bad guys and not the other way around.
That was when Hunter was walking around carrying a loaded .38 revolver, a gun he was not supposed to have in the first place. He lied to get it.
Yet it is Hunter who is surrounded and protected by a team of Secret Service agents camped close by Hunter’s $20,000-a-month lavish home in Malibu. Biden, 52, lives there with his wife, Melissa, 35, and their baby, Beau.
This infant is not to be confused with the child the wayward Hunter Biden fathered with former Washington stripper Lunden Roberts. After denying fatherhood, Hunter Biden settled a paternity suit of $2.5 million with Lunden after DNA said he was. It was a case of following the science.
It is not known if Lunden and the child, now 4 years old, have Secret Service protection, or whether they are entitled to it, since Hunter Biden and Roberts were not married. They do not live in Malibu either.
Not to be outdone in Malibu, however, agents in Biden’s Secret Service detail operate out of a nearby $6 million mansion that costs the U.S. taxpayer $30,000 a month.
Thankfully, the mansion has a gym and a pool so that the agents can work out and keep in shape as they provide round-the-clock protection for the unarmed son of the president.
You can’t be too careful these days, especially in and around the mean streets of Malibu.
Ordinarily, the average guy carrying a gun in 2018 that he obtained under false testimony would be headed for jail. But not Hunter.
The gun may be the least of his problems, but it is the one alleged crime that the public can easily understand.
The rest is much more complicated, as a grand jury is looking into a variety of alleged and complicated financial deals with China, Russia and Ukraine and whether or not any of the money was earmarked for “the Big Guy,” who is said to be Joe Biden.
But the entities involved, and the millions shifted around will make your head spin. There is Burisma Holdings, Rosemont Seneca, BHR Partners, Thornton Group LLC and CEFC China Energy, to name a few.
Joe Biden has said he knew nothing about his son’s business activities.
As president, Joe Biden could pardon his son if Hunter were charged with wrongdoing. If the scandal reached the Oval Office, Biden could resign and have President Kamala Harris, his successor, pardon him, the way President Gerald Ford pardoned Richard Nixon after Nixon resigned in disgrace in 1974.
How simpler it would all be for prosecutors to just go with the gun violation.
