Democrats are dismissing first son Hunter Biden’s guilty verdict as both a normal legal outcome and evidence that Republicans’ cries of a “two-tiered system of justice” should be put to rest — despite some GOP members blasting the conviction as an “illusion of equal justice.”

Biden was found guilty on three felony counts related to a 2018 purchase of a firearm. Some Republicans praised the conviction as a job, eventually, well done by the Justice Department, but many GOP members argued that the verdict was simply a smoke show to distract from the “political persecution” of former President Donald Trump.
