During the House Oversight Committee hearing on the Hunter Biden investigation on Wednesday, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) described Hunter Biden as a “rich guy exercising his Second Amendment rights” in a jab at House Republicans.
Raskin made his snarky claim as two IRS whistleblowers alleged political misconduct: special agent Joseph Ziegler, whose identity was revealed during the hearing, and his IRS supervisor Gary Shapley, who previously blew the whistle on alleged political influence surrounding prosecutorial decisions throughout the years-long federal probe into the president’s son.
Raskin, the committee’s ranking Democratic member, described the Republicans as hypocritical during his opening statement and claimed ludicrously that Hunter Biden “received no special treatment.”
Raskin accused “MAGA Republicans” of taking the side of “IRS agents from the deep state against a Trump-appointed U.S. attorney and a rich guy exercising his Second Amendment rights but now facing criminal gun charges and tax charges that they would call in any other circumstance purely technical.”
Raskin’s attempt to whitewash Hunter Biden’s crimes doesn’t seem to jive, though, with the Left’s kneejerk claim that “no one is above the law,” which they’re fond of saying in reference to Donald Trump but seem to forget when the subject is the President’s walking humiliation of a son.
