In spite of the fact that half of the US population thinks that the Dept of Justice has been weaponized against the right wing of the country, today a jury of 12 convicted our Liberal US President's son on gun charges.
One would think that I would be upset by this, because of course, as a Joe Biden supporter, I must be so far enmeshed into supporting the "Biden Crime Family" that I must think that the system didn't work this time. But no...this is not the case.
What todays verdict did for me was uphold my belief in the idea of blind justice. Hunter Biden was convicted of his crimes and justice is going to be served to the son of the POTUS, just as justice will be served to Donald Trump on July 11th at his sentencing. I am very happy to see that the US Justice System works, in spite of all of the screams and protests to the contrary. Now, don't get me wrong... I still believe that there are racial disparities in the justice system. I still believe that punishments are much worse for anyone who isn't of the Caucasian race in this country, but now I know that it's not necessarily the case for those of political power (Not that being the son of Joe Biden gave Hunter all that much clout in the first place).
I look forward to no longer hearing about how the Justice Department is weaponized against Donald Trump. If he has committed crimes, then let him be tried for them by juries of his peers. Justice IS blind, and if he's committed no crimes, then he should be acquitted. We may not trust our judges, police, lawyers, etc, but have we also lost faith in our friends and neighbors' abilities to judge right from wrong--good from evil based upon the laws drawn up by our legislature? Do we really believe that just because our friends don't really like someone that they would allow them to be jailed for years and years for a crime that wasn't committed? I'd like to think that the answer to that question is a qualified "no"...they wouldn't do that.
SO...can we get on with all the court cases now? I think it's important that we all know the results of Trump's upcoming cases BEFORE we elect him to office. We should know if he has been harboring National Secrets in his bathroom and bedroom, claiming them as his own and sharing them with whomever he wants--perhaps even selling them to enemies of the state. I'd also like to know how he actually fits into the whole January 6th debacle, if he in fact fits at all.
Leave her alone and let Justice do her job. Those that are innocent will be absolved. Those that are guilty should be punished appropriately for their crimes.
