In a recent appearance on CNN’s “Early Start,” legal analyst Joey Jackson weighed in on the latest charges against Hunter Biden. Jackson pointed out that without the whistleblowers, we wouldn’t even be talking about Hunter Biden’s legal troubles. It’s important to remember that whistleblowers play a crucial role in uncovering corruption and holding people accountable. Without their courage, many of these cases would go unnoticed.

However, it seems that Hunter Biden’s attorney, Abbe Lowell, is trying to downplay the charges by claiming that they are politically motivated. This is a common strategy in the playbook of the political elite. They always try to paint themselves as victims of some grand conspiracy, rather than taking responsibility for their own actions. But let’s face it, nine counts of tax evasion over a span of four years is not something to be taken lightly.
The question here is whether this should be treated as a criminal offense or a civil matter. Hunter Biden’s attorney seems to suggest that this should be resolved through a civil proceeding. But let’s not forget that taxes are an important part of our legal system, and when someone deliberately evades them, it should be treated as a criminal act. We can’t have a system where the well-connected can get away with breaking the law while the average American faces consequences for the same actions.
It’s also worth mentioning that Hunter Biden was originally supposed to face a misdemeanor charge in Delaware, which would have been a far less serious offense. But now we find ourselves dealing with a felony indictment. This raises legitimate questions about equal treatment under the law. Should the president’s son be given preferential treatment? Or should he face the same consequences as any other citizen would in his situation? These are important questions that need to be answered.
At the end of the day, justice should be blind. It should not consider a person’s last name or political connections. And in this case, it’s clear that the whistleblowers have played a crucial role in bringing these charges to light. They deserve our appreciation for shining a light on potential wrongdoing, regardless of the political fallout. Let’s not forget that we are a nation of laws, and those laws should apply to everyone equally.
