Oh, The Double Standard of America Justice!

 Yeah, Trump got indicted for January 6, and yesterday he pled not guilty. The Republicans jumped and started chanting Hunter Biden and there was a double standard.

Let's see, the January 6 Committee got the facts out in public about Trump.

George Conway thinks Trump needs to make a deal. Hunter Biden is making a deal.

George Conway Reveals Why An Insanity Defense Wouldn't Work For Trump:

Conway told The Washington Post’s “Please, Go On” podcast that an insanity defense “actually might be his best defense because he does give the appearance of being completely out of his mind.”

But ultimately even that approach wouldn’t work.

“He does know the difference between right and wrong, as illustrated in the documents case,” in which Trump allegedly tried to have the surveillance video of the documents being moved destroyed.

“He knows it’s bad. He knows what he had done is wrong and he needed to cover it up,” Conway said. “So he does have the capacity to understand the difference between truth and lies and between right and wrong. He just doesn’t care.”

We still do not know what Hunter Biden did that rates such an emotional attachment on the part of the GOP. Apparently, the Republicans have not found much out about him – other than he's a bit of a blowhard.

Star Witness Undercuts Republican Corruption Case Against Joe Biden 

Republicans asked Archer if he was aware that Shokin was investigating Burisma, and Archer said he had actually heard from associates in Washington, D.C., that “Shokin was under control” from Burisma’s persective and that whoever might replace him would be a bigger threat to the company.

“I was spun a narrative that Shokin was good for Burisma,” Archer said.

After some back-and-forth, a Republican staff interviewer asked Archer to say definitively if he ever witnessed a conversation between a Burisma executive and Hunter Biden about Shokin investigating Burisma.

“No, that didn’t happen,” Archer said. “But, again, I was left out of everything.”

George Kent, then the deputy assistant secretary of state responsible for Ukraine policy, testified that Shokin “never prosecuted anybody known for having committed a crime” and that in 2019, when Shokin had linked up with Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani for help with a trip to the United States, “he was looking to basically engage in a con game out of revenge because he’d lost his job.”

Under questioning from Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.), Archer said he had “no reason to believe” that the push for Shokin’s ouster was driven by anything other than the U.S. government’s anti-corruption policy in Ukraine.

Republicans have said the fact that Joe Biden was on the phone with his son’s work contacts meant he lied the many times he claimed he never talked business with his son. But Archer said business never came up during any of the 20 instances he witnessed Hunter Biden put his dad on speaker.

“Where are you, how’s the weather, how’s the fishing,” Archer said. “It was very, you know, casual conversations about ― you know, not about cap tables or financials or anything like that.”

Archer said he never witnessed Hunter Biden ask his father to do anything that would help his business.

Oops.

The Republicans emphasized governmental oversight, but it appears they cannot see the difference between a certain orifice and a hole in the ground.
