Hunter Biden has eluded jail time after agreeing to a plea deal on two misdemeanors and a felony gun charge that will be dropped and it looks like there will be zero consequences for his corruption or the acts of depravity that are contained on the hard drive of his infamous laptop, which is unlikely to be cracked open by the feds who could have their own uses for it, according to Fox News host Jesse Watters.
The mood was downbeat on Wednesday’s edition of “The Five” as the panel discussed the aftermath of the announcement that the younger Biden was let off with a limp slap on the wrist and that far more serious charges likely won’t be forthcoming from the DOJ, at least not for as long as Democrats are in control of the government, another example of the two-tiered system of justice that now exists in America.

“This whole thing, unfortunately, just further undermines the rule of law,” said former Democrat congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard who joined the regulars. “People’s faith that we have law and order in this country and that the justice system actually means anything. And so they’re too many examples now to cite, but this is just the latest in recognizing that we have an administration and people in power who are willing to direct that power against their political opponent, and also, like every other dictatorship in the country, direct that power to protect those that they want to protect.”
“In this case, you know, it’s Hunter Biden, and obviously, this sends the wrong message to the American people, but more dangerously, undermines that foundation of our democracy, which is that fair justice system, that rule of law,” she added.
“You know though, I noticed something really positive about the media,” Greg Gutfeld jumped in with one of his trademark zingers. “Here’s a case of a white guy getting special treatment and they didn’t scream systemic racism.”
Watters added, “The feds are never gonna crack open the laptop as long as Joe Biden’s president. Joe Biden, his administration is not going to investigate corruption in the Biden family. It’s just not going to happen.”
“Plus, the FBI and the CIA has this as blackmail. They can just dangle it in front of Joe and he has to do whatever they say or else ‘boop,’ there it goes open,” he said sarcastically.
“The only way it comes open is if a Republican gets into the White House,” Watters continued. “And so they’re going to do everything they can to prevent a Republican from getting into the White House because the laptop is basically, tells everybody how guilty the entire system is.”
“The House Republicans are now looking at these heavily redacted additional FBI informant pieces of paper, that Chris Wray is still trying to hide, and we’re still looking at more bank records,” he added. “If you had an impeachment inquiry open up, that can speed up the subpoeana process, the witness process. But the House Republicans don’t feel like it’s ripe enough to do it right now, they want to let Comer do a little bit more work…”
“But the bottom line is that insiders protect insiders…” Watters said, “Trump’s an outsider. He goes to prison, his people go to prison. But if you’re a Washington insider, you get the Hunter Biden treatment.”
