welcome back opening statements for Hunter Biden’s Federal Gun trial set to begin this morning at 9:00 a.m. eastern in Delaware a jury of six men and Six Women selected yesterday along with four alternate jurors now the big surprise of the morning happened when first lady Jill Biden and her daughter Ashley Biden appeared for jury selection what was that about President Biden also issued a statement in support of Hunter yesterday saying quote as the president I don’t and won’t comment on pending Federal cases but as a dad I have boundless love for my son confidence in him and respect for his strength joining me now is Judicial Watch president Tom fitten Tom great to see you thank you so much for being here you know it’s hard not to compare everything that happened in the hunter Biden trial to everything we just went through with the Trump trial your reaction to all of this well it’s the result of a failed cover up really and Corruption by the justice department and the FBI that Tred to bury this charge for years remember Hunter uh committed this crime alleged in 2018 now it’s 2024 and uh the only reason this trial is proceeding is because it was exposed by the work of groups like Judicial Watch exposing the Secret Service and the FBI involvement and covering this up and then of course the judge handling this case blew up the plea agreement by asking some basic questions about why was Hunter given unprecedented uh get out of jail free card but but it the the it’s still being compromised by the involvement of uh Mr Mr Biden President Biden and Jill Biden I mean if you’re a juror and you show up at for jury duty yesterday and the first lady is sitting in the courtroom what must be going through your head and then on top of that you have the president of the United States in a federal criminal trial against his son issue a statement that uh um basically Echoes the defense argument he’s a poor addict and we got to give him the benefit of the doubt right boy oh boy boy oh boy is right and and you’re right to point out Jill Biden and the intimidation Factor you know the White House did the same thing right before the jury uh went to deliberate in the Trump case remember right before they went to deliberate we heard from the White House who said after the verdict is out President Biden is going to make a statement and if he’s acquitted or if there’s a hung jury uh the campaign is planning aack on Trump I mean who says that right before the jury goes to deliberate we’re planning aack I mean what kind of intimidation Factor was that for the jury in the Trump trial oh I don’t want to get attacked by the White House and then you’ve got Jill Biden in the courtroom I mean give me a break and then of course there’s the media I got to get your take on this because for weeks we heard from Stormy Daniels and we heard every detail that Stormy Daniels wanted to tell us about her little interlude with President Trump Trump but for Hunter Biden and the family well that’s different this is private information watch this watch how the media handled this yesterday watch this the gun trial could expose personal embarrassing details of the Biden family’s private life a major distraction for President Biden as he fights for reelection this is a historic case but it is also a sad and sorted tale of drug addiction and its consequences in the Biden family as in so many American families and it carries the very real potential of personal and political pain for the President Hunter Biden has always been open about his battles with substance abuse but this trial is going to put some graphic details out there in open court oh very personal and private information is going to come out here Woe Is Us and Hunter Biden has repeatedly and the Biden people have repeatedly use his drug abuse and alleged addiction uh as again uh a vehicle to distract from uh his criminality and sometimes criminality involving Joe himself you know remember some of his testimony before Congress oh I don’t know if I threaten this guy with bringing the president in Joe Biden uh because I was so out of it you know maybe I did it while I was drunk or or addicted to drugs uh you know it’s not an excuse that would was for anyone else facing similar charges and to me this highlights what this whole attack on Trump’s been about this is the soft underbelly of the Biden White House the criminality of Joe Biden in my view and his family and the accountability that it’s been slow slow to come one of the reasons it’s been slow slow to come is because the Justice Department’s been spending all of its time trying to put his opponent in jail that’s or helping groups like or helping people like Alvin Bragg put his opponent in jail good point the house Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Jordan sending a letter to house appropriation committee chairman Tom Cole yesterday detailing Appropriations requests for the 2025 fiscal year budget his proposal includes a reform that would quote defund the lawfare activities of state and federal prosecutors who are leading politically sensitive investigations chairman Jordan pointing out Manhattan da Alvin Bragg New York attorney general Leticia James filon County DA fonnie Willis and special Council Jack Smith the request coming days after president Trump’s guilty verdict in New York Tom attorney general mer is also set to appear before the Judiciary Committee today we’ll see how that hearing goes what’s your reaction to all of that well obviously it’s important that that be done there’s got to be consequence I just wish it had been done earlier and sooner uh the house had a leverage point to shut down these investigations in the government funding fights that we saw earlier this year they declined to do so and now that President Trump has been uh convicted uh they’re going to take action that may not even happen until next year uh it it’s certainly necessary but it it’s woefully insufficient to date and now Garland you know it occurred to me the other day Maria they still haven’t voted in the Full House on the contempt for Garland now we have in a Judicial Watch Case them coming forward admitting the transcript isn’t an acccurate uh isn’t an isn’t accurate as it relates to the audio files they’re hiding they’re coming up with ridiculous reasons for hiding the audio files saying Aid fakes are uh likely as a result of it uh this is it’s it’s crazy town and Garland is is been sailing through this whole contempt fight thus far because Republicans don’t want to spend too much time talking about these issues it’s amazing how much they’re able to do against Donald Trump in terms of a literal abuse of power yet when you’ve got actual abuse of power targeting uh Trump or targeting Congress violations of law uh the republicans in Congress don’t seem much interested in in going to the mat on it it’s it’s frustrating well what I want to know is is the issue of potential conspiracy around Trump going to come up today in the hearing because John Ratcliffe former dni was with me on Sunday and he firmly believes that this was all coordinated that all of those prosecutors from Jack Smith to Alvin brag to fonnie Willis Leticia James they all met with White House counsel uh before taking uh taking uh Trump to court so he’s basically saying this is Joe Biden getting his political opponent down five months before an election watch John Radcliffe with me Sunday watch this what happened in this case is that after Donald Trump announced he was going to run for president four different sets of prosecutors went to Joe Biden’s White House to meet with Joe Biden’s lawyer and his Department of Justice from Georgia from New York Leticia James Jack Smith shortly before he brought his indictments and of course Alvin Bragg who not only met with Joe Biden uh Joe Biden’s lawyers in the white house he took one of Joe Biden’s lawyers from the Department of Justice to have him bring this case so you know all of these people in all of these jurisdictions Maria are proxies of the Biden White House what about that Tom can’t this be Doc dou umented and and and looked into what where are the Republicans on this is this going to come up today in the meric Garland hearing I I would certainly ask those types of questions I mean we have this case against Fanny Willis over her Communications with the Biden doj and rather than give us the document she went into default went into default uh so completely ignoring the lawsuit uh in my view this is part of a conspiracy uh on to deprive uh president Trump of his civil rights under color or law certainly Congressional investigation is is worth pursuing and the next honest President should appoint a special counil uh to figure out what went on here you don’t have effectively the number three official at the justice department a political appointee go to a local prosecutor’s office to prosecute a former president uh without political motivation and um uh knowledge on the part of senior officials in the Biden White House and doj it doesn’t it doesn’t it doesn’t pass the smell test
