Tucker Carlson Weighs In On Hunter Biden’s ‘Sweetheart Deal’; Legal Experts Call Hunter’s Plea Deal a ‘Joke’
By Nicole Silverio. Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson weighed in on Hunter Biden’s “sweetheart deal” with Trump-appointed prosecutor David Weiss during Tuesday’s broadcast of “Tucker on Twitter.”
Biden agreed to plead guilty to charges of illegally purchasing a gun while under the influence of drugs and for failing to pay his taxes in 2017 and 2018. Carlson said Weiss prosecuted the younger Biden to make the 37-count indictment against former President Donald Trump appear fair and non-political.
“Donald Trump had an idea: ‘They’ll hit Hunter with something small to make their strike on me look fair.’ Trump wrote that about two weeks ago,” Carlson said. “And it turned out those were prescient words. This morning, Hunter Biden pleaded guilty to pretty much nothing. Biden pled to two misdemeanor tax evasion charges and then entered a diversion on a federal gun charge. That’s it. As far as Merrick Garland’s Justice Department is concerned, Hunter Biden is done. There was no pre-dawn raid carried live simultaneously on CNN. There was no perp walk, no handcuffs, no press conference.”
“Above all, there was no felony. Hunter Biden, who broke federal gun laws, can still carry a gun. It’s like it all never happened,” he continued.

Legal Experts Call Hunter Biden Plea Deal a ‘Joke’
By Arjun Singh. Legal experts criticized the plea deal announced between the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Hunter Biden on Tuesday, with some calling it a “joke” and a “sweetheart deal.”
Hunter Biden, who has been under investigation for over five years by the DOJ, agreed to plead guilty to two counts of willful failure to pay federal income tax, and one count of possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance, which is a felony. The felony charge may be dismissed if Biden complies with certain conditions. Legal experts have said the charges are too lenient and suggest a “sweetheart deal” was made to avoid prison time.
“[I]t will be like ticketing the get-away driver after a bank hold up,” tweeted Jonathan Turley, a law professor at George Washington University and a national security defense attorney. “It is called controlled demolition: the implosion of a scandal to limit any blast effect on nearby structures or individuals…without causing collateral damage to the political and media establishment,” he added.
Hunter’s father, President Joe Biden, is running for reelection in 2024, and his political allies have frequently criticized former President Donald Trump for his active indictments by prosecutors in New York and Florida. Trump and Republicans, by contrast, have attempted to tie Hunter Biden’s tumultuous personal life and alleged criminal history to Joe Biden.
