Andrew Weissmann: Hunter Verdict Shows that Joe Biden Is ‘Living Embodiment of the Rule of Law’

EXCERPT:

WEISSMANN: “I am more interested in what it tells us about the rule of law in this country in two ways. One, the son of the sitting president was pretty quickly tried. He was given due process and he was found guilty. And you have the current president, the father of the defendant, making it absolutely clear that he is not pardoning him, that he could have ordered at any time his Justice Department to get rid of this case, he did not do that. He said he’s not planning on pardoning him as well. And I really think that if you look at this case, what is the big picture here? It’s not a drug addict who possessed a gun for two weeks. It is that you have a president of the United States who is living embodiment of the rule of law, even with respect to his only living son. You can really contrast that to the former president’s denigration of the rule of law. Every single time he’s found guilty in a criminal case or found liable in a civil case, including sexual assault and fraud, he says the system is rigged against him. So I think that that, to me, is the really strong contrast between the two uses of the justice system, whether it's civil justice or criminal justice, that I think is speaking to me very loudly about the impact and the import of this case."
