The Hunter Biden case is a personal and family tragedy, but like the recent felony conviction of Donald Trump, it is also a demonstration of the strength of rule of law. Biden’s case went to trial only after an attempt at a plea deal foundered, and he opted to fight the charges; Trump declined to argue to a jury that he had committed misdemeanors rather than felonies, preferring to take the risk of a felony conviction. Moreover, Hunter Biden’s conviction shows the emptiness of Republican accusations that Joe Biden is “weaponizing” the Justice Department against his enemies.
