While we were all glued to that other trial involving what’s-his-name, hopefully you’ve been following — as I have — National Review’s coverage of Hunter Biden’s gun case, in which jury selection is set to begin in Delaware federal court on Monday. (See, e.g., James Lynch’s reporting here, here, here, here, here, and here.)
The evidence against the president’s son is extremely strong. Naturally, that’s why his lawyers tried so hard to get the prosecution diverted with an eye toward eventual dismissal, even though he should not have been eligible for diversion under Justice Department rules. That effort failed when the sweetheart plea bargain collapsed. Subsequently, Hunter was indicted and, unless there is a last-minute plea deal, the trial will begin.
