(DCNF)—George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley refuted Democratic Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman’s comparison of Hunter Biden’s case to President-elect Donald Trump’s New York case.
Fetterman made his debut Truth Social post on Tuesday, calling both cases politically motivated “bullshit” and advocating for pardons for both Hunter Biden and Trump. Turley, on “America’s Newsroom,” argued that the cases are fundamentally different, citing the differences in their venues and the varying degrees of guilt of the two defendants.
“They’re not comparable. Most Americans agree the New York case is blatant lawfare. Hunter Biden was demonstrably guilty. He was convicted by a jury in Delaware, the home state of the Biden family. So this was not some hostile jurisdiction like the one Trump faced in Manhattan,” Turley said. “So I don’t think they are comparable. But I think a lot of people are now looking at this election and perhaps they feel a little more ability to say what is obvious, that this was lawfare, that it has really destroyed the legal system.”
“And I’m hoping that maybe we could come together on that. We can all drop the rage rhetoric, we can begin to look at the legal system for reform. There’s a lot of support for Trump coming in to reform these departments and he’s picking people from outside the establishment to guarantee that that gets done,” he continued. “And I think a lot of citizens find that rather supportive and pleasing considering that they want to see changes in Washington.”
A Delaware jury convicted Hunter Biden in June on three counts pertaining to his purchase of a Colt Cobra revolver in October 2018, alleging he knowingly possessed the gun while being a drug addict and made false statements on the purchase document. To demonstrate Hunter Biden’s addiction to drugs at the time of his gun purchase, prosecutors referenced portions of his memoir, “Beautiful Things,” where he describes his drug use in 2018, as well as text messages he sent pertaining to his drug use.
A Manhattan jury convicted Trump in May on 34 counts for falsifying business documents to reimburse his former attorney Michael Cohen for a nondisclosure agreement with porn star Stormy Daniels. To indict Trump on felony charges and circumvent the expired statute of limitations, Democratic District Attorney Alvin Bragg argued the documents were falsified to hide or commit another crime — which remained unclear during the trial, but was thought to be either a campaign finance or election law violation.
