Jonathan Turley: Hunter Biden's plea brings a new meaning to the word 'bargain'

As Twitchy reported earlier, CNN legal analyst Renato Mariotti doubled down on his claim that Hunter Biden "received harsh treatment" in his sweetheart plea deal that keeps him out of prison despite pleading guilty to tax fraud and a felony gun charge. On CNN, Mariotti maintained that Biden being let off the hook was "actually harsher than the treatment that a typical person would receive." Yeah, right. Ask all the people in jail for tax fraud and felony gun possession.

Constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley has a new piece in which he says that Biden's plea brings a new meaning to the word "bargain."

Turley writes in The Messenger:

At every juncture, the wayward son of Joe Biden seems to be snatched from the jaws of disaster.

Now, at the center of a swirling scandal of alleged influence-peddling, Hunter has emerged with a plea that brings a new meaning to the word “bargain.”

He will plead guilty to two minor misdemeanor tax counts and a phantom felony count that will go away in time.

Yet this may be the most vital role that Hunter has played for his family. He will declare himself guilty so the media and the political establishment can declare the scandal to be a closed matter: Nothing more to see here, other than a plea to a couple misdemeanors.

This is why betting against the Bidens in a corruption scandal is like betting for The Generals against the Harlem Globetrotters. The plea agreement already is being heralded by the Biden team as the final resolution of any Hunter Biden investigation.

The hope is that Hunter takes the hit for the family. He will avoid jail time, and his father can avoid a political scandal.

That's about it. Asked about Hunter's guilty plea Tuesday, President Joe Biden just said he's proud of his son, and that's probably the most the media will pester him about that inconvenient truth. Biden won't even admit his son's done anything wrong.

Yes, that part.

He's 53 but they still treat him like a child.

There sure are a lot of people in the replies who want to deflect to Jared Kushner. Leave Hunter alone!

It is a pretty big bargain, though. Hunter pleads guilty, gets no jail time, and they wrap a big bow around it and call it closed.
