Not A Joke: ABC Analyst Says Hunter Got Harsher Treatment BECAUSE He’s A Biden | Eastern North Carolina Now

    News Nation host and ABC News Chief Legal Analyst Dan Abrams claimed Wednesday that President Joe Biden's embattled son Hunter was treated more harshly by the Justice Department than he would have been if his last name had not been Biden.

    Abrams joined host George Stephanopoulos on ABC News's "Good Morning America," and he argued that Hunter Biden might not have been prosecuted at all if Republicans were not trying to connect the president to his alleged crimes.

    ABC's chief justice correspondent Pierre Thomas set the scene, suggesting that the younger Biden's alleged crimes were part of a Republican effort to damage President Biden: "Republicans have long sought to make Hunter Biden's troubles and financial dealings, including those in Ukraine and China, a political millstone for his father. Word of Hunter Biden's deal set off a political firestorm, with Republicans claiming he got preferential treatment."

    Stephanopoulos, himself a veteran of former President Bill Clinton's administration, pivoted to ABC's White House correspondent Mary Bruce, saying, "Boy, this case of Hunter Biden has been a source of political and personal heartache for President Biden."

    "There's no question that this is painful for the president, personally and politically," Bruce said. "He is a devoted father who has stood by his son throughout his struggles with addiction, throughout this investigation, adamant that Hunter did absolutely nothing wrong. But it is clear, Republicans are not gonna drop this."

    Abrams weighed in then on the legal aspect of the case, arguing, "I think it made an enormous difference here ... if this wasn't Hunter Biden, it is likely he wouldn't have been prosecuted at all."

    "On the gun issue, typically that is not something that gets charged alone. Almost never does that particular charge about lying -" Abrams continued.

    "There are thousands of cases a year," Stephanopoulos interrupted.

    "Thousands would get prosecuted if that was the charge. But with that said, it does seem the facts support a guilty plea on these charges," Abrams said, and then doubled down: "But if he wasn't Hunter Biden, you have to believe there wouldn't have been a prosecution."

Regarding the entrenched Two Tier Justice System's handling of the Cocaine Discovery found near to the Situation Room, in the West Wing of the White House: What is your position on, what Eastern NC NOW has coined, The Cocaine Presidency?

  This is a silly over-concern by over-reactive Republicans.

  Never in the history of the Secret Service's protection of the White House, and its inhabitants, has a dangerous narcotic been found in such a secure location, and then so inadequately investigated.

  Drugs are cool, so I might be the wrong person to ask.

Understanding that this fragile Republic of the self-governed is in a precarious space in our nation's vast history: What is your honor bound patriotic duty in helping to sustain the continuance of these United States of America?

  I will depend on my Democratic Socialist politicians to continue to march hard toward the Left to provide Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for all who think and do as they are told.

  I will defend the Constitution of the United States of America, and support all elected leaders who pledge to protect and insure the continued sovereignty of this Representative Republic.

  I am very concerned about maintaining my current life style without working. I was told that as long as I vote Democrat, I had nothing to worry about ... but now I worry.

Considering how abjectly corrupt and civilly abusive the Left has become regarding the corrosive effect of their elected leaders; their entrenched and ruling bureaucracy; employing their failed Education Industry as Indoctrinators; their collusive private sector operators, such as the terminally discredited Legacy Media and Big Tech censorship of Free Speech: What will be the best course forward for hardworking Middle Americans, including the Patriot Class?

  Withdraw from society, go underground and plan for a resurgence when it is feasible to do so.

  Work within the confines of better policy by the People's government, once good sense and sanity is restored in the electorate at large, to achieve such.

  Are you a crazy, nut-job Insurrectionist? Everything is perfect within our plan to achieve our intended goals for the Socialist Left.

  Secession to form a true Constitutional Republic.
