That anger is fueled by two underlying reasons, Hammelburg knows. First of all, it is surprising that a five-year investigation involving a Donald Trump-appointed FBI director and a Trump-appointed prosecutor yielded essentially nothing. Trump calls it a “parking ticket” and he’s right because it’s a very light phrase.
cover up
Furthermore, Trump and his followers see this case as proof that the rule of law does not exist in the United States, says Hammelburg. “They are convinced that far-left President Biden and his far-left Attorney General are covering up this case against a corrupt criminal. That as Trump is being dragged from one courtroom to another. This is their shot, the double standards’, explains the American correspondent.
“It’s not a crime, it’s a crime”
There were a number of criminal cases pending against Hunter Biden. For example, he allegedly worked for a corrupt Chinese company and received a monthly payment of $50,000 just because of his last name. A laptop would also contain evidence of corruption and illegal possession of a weapon. However, no such proof was found and what remained was the fact that he had paid the taxes late. This is not a crime, but a violation,” says Hammelburg.
Stolen elections
And many Republicans don’t think that’s enough. The American correspondent therefore sees that the Hunter Biden case is being used to campaign against his father. Trump immediately lashed out against it. He says America is not a rule of law and Hunter gets away with anything. He also added that corrupt Democrats stole the election, that there is an unjust witch hunt and that if we are not careful, America will become a kind of Venezuela.
“Democrats are smart enough to sit down and give Trump enough rope to hang himself.”
Meanwhile, the democratic side remains silent. And according to Hammelburg that makes sense: “Their message should be that they believe in an independent court.” President Biden simply responds by saying that he is proud of his son who has overcome his drug addiction. It is also notable that Trump slipped a few percentage points in the polls due to his own behavior regarding the lawsuit pending against him over government documents. “Democrats are smart enough to sit down and give Trump enough rope to hang himself,” Hammelburg said.
