Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance (R) on Tuesday doubled down on holding up President Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) nominees in the wake of Hunter Biden getting “a slap on the wrist” in his plea deal.
It was revealed Tuesday morning that Biden’s son Hunter will plead guilty to two tax misdemeanors and one charge related to a violation of gun laws.
As Breitbart News reported, “Biden will plead guilty to willful failure to pay federal income tax — most likely on his foreign earnings — and will enter a ‘pretrial diversion program’ regarding his gun crime, indicating that he will face no jail time.”
“Any other American would have the book thrown at them,” Vance said in reaction to the news. “The president’s son gets a slap on the wrist.”
“This is exhibit 1,402 for why I’m holding Biden’s DOJ nominees. We have a two-tiered justice system in our country. It’s a disgrace,” he added.

Vance defended that position last week during an appearance on The Ingraham Angle as well, deeming Biden’s DOJ political appointees as nothing more than “foot soldiers” to further politicize the department.
“The political appointees of the Department of Justice, the way to look at them is foot soldiers for turning the DOJ into political activism, instead of actively doing the job of enforcing the law,” Vance explained.
“Why should we be giving Joe Biden more foot soldiers when he’s using them to attack his political opponents and conservatives all across the country? It’s insane,” he added.
Former President Donald Trump, who remains the target of the Biden administration, predicted the feds would hit Hunter with “something small” to make their continued witch hunt against him look “fair.”
“It’s all about ELECTION INTERFERENCE. They don’t want to run against me,” Trump wrote in part on June 6, explaining that they are “using the DOJ & FBI against me to Rigg the 2024 Election.”
“They’ll hit Hunter with something small to make their strike on me look ‘fair.’ Nothing about these Fascists is fair or honest. FIGHT!” he urged.
Vance has also touted that position, describing the latest indictment against Trump as a “moral and constitutional joke” and concluding that Biden is “using the justice system to preemptively steal the 2024 election.”
Biden is attacking his most likely 2024 opponent. He’s using the justice system to preemptively steal the 2024 election. This is what’s happening, plain and simple.
