Fox News host Dana Perino asked Trey Gowdy this morning whether he thought Hunter Biden would get a fairer trial in Delaware than Trump got in New York. Gowdy, if you don't know, is an ex-prosecutor and Republican ex-Congressman.
She didn't get what she expected. Gowdy said he did gun prosecutions for 6 years, and went after a lot people who were prohibited from owning firearms, like felons and and fugitives. He said Hunter's case is unique. Because of forum rules, I can't mention exactly what category Hunter fits into that theoretically would disqualify him from owning a firearm. But Gowdy said there weren't 10 people nationwide in Hunter's category who were prosecuted for lying on applications to purchase firearms. I presume that's during the six years Gowdy was a prosecutor but I don't know.
He went on to say that we've got to get over treating people differently based on their political status or last name.
Kudos to Gowdy. Hunter doesn't deserve a day in jail or even probation IMHO for what he did in Delaware. Merrick Garland should have stepped in and shut down the special prosecutor on this particular issue. Yes, Hunter deserves prosecution for tax violations, but not for this.
Our criminal justice system is out of control. It's mostly the poor who suffer, although businessmen and others are in the cross hairs too. You'd think that politicians would do something about it when even their sons and daughters are targets because of their last names. Apparently not though.
