Hunter Biden guilty verdict proves Trump's trial wasn't 'rigged'

Hunter Biden’s conviction on federal gun charges is the needle that pops former president and convicted felon Donald Trump’s inflated and ludicrous claims of a rigged American justice system.

The evidence against President Joe Biden’s son, like the evidence against Trump in his hush money case, was strong. And as in Trump’s case in New York City, the prosecutors, the defense attorneys and, most important, the jurors did their jobs in Wilmington, Delaware.

They found the younger Biden guilty of buying a gun he knew he wasn’t supposed to posses while knowingly lying on a federal form, saying he wasn’t addicted to drugs. He’s guilty, he can appeal and the justice system worked as it’s supposed to work.

The system worked in Trump’s case as well, but the Republican Party's presumptive presidential nominee and his minions have done everything possible to obscure that fact with lies and utter nonsense. Trump continues to rail against the judge in his case, to claim a state prosecution was somehow directed by President Biden – which isn’t how anything works – and to whine endlessly about how he’s being persecuted.
