Trey Gowdy went rogue again.
Fox News viewers couldn’t believe it.
And Trey Gowdy left Donald Trump’s blood boiling with what he just said.
Hunter Biden is facing charges for lying on a background check form about being addicted to drugs and alcohol when he purchased a firearm in 2018.
Biden will also stand trial on tax evasion charges.
Fox News host Harris Faulkner wondered whether or not it was a bad look for Joe Biden that Hunter Biden tried to push his trials past the election when at the same time Biden’s Justice Department worked at warp speed to try and stage two show trials against Donald Trump before Election Day.
“If you make the argument that Hunter’s trials are too close to a presidential election and you look at the family members who potentially could be talking — the ex-wife, ex-girlfriend, a third woman — against Hunter in the first trial. We don’t know about the second. If you could make the argument, ‘Hold off ‘til after the election,’ that might have to be made for Donald Trump, as well. This gets complicated politically for Biden,” Faulkner wondered.
Former South Carolina Congressman Trey Gowdy took Faulkner by surprise with his response.
Gowdy said prosecutors in New York singled out Donald Trump using a novel legal theory they concocted that never would have been deployed against any other defendant.
And Gowdy said the same thing happened to Hunter Biden.
Gowdy explained that in his time as a federal prosecutor, he never saw charges for addicts lying on a background check form brought.
“I don’t think Donald Trump ought to be singled out for a crime that no one else has been prosecuted for, and, I was a gun prosecutor — we never prosecuted addicts for lying and buying on federal forms,” Gowdy declared.
Gowdy said Hunter Biden’s alleged foreign influence peddling and tax violations were fair game, but that he bet there were fewer than 10 people in America facing similar charges for lying about using drugs when purchasing a gun.
“So, I don’t think Hunter Biden ought to be singled out either. Go after him on taxes, go after him on corruption. But I’d be curious how many people were prosecuted for being an addict in possession of a firearm, and I’ll bet it’s less than 10 in the last 12 months. I don’t think people ought to be singled out because of their last name. Treat him like you would ‘Hunter Smith,’ even though it’s Hunter Biden,” Gowdy continued.
Faulkner sat there dumbfounded and turned to co-host Shannon Bream for backup.
“But isn’t the whole process of that, Shannon, doesn’t it come down to lying on a federal form when you’re buying a weapon? I mean, I don’t know that so much that it matters about your mental or physical status as much as it matters that you lied,” Faulkner asked.
But Bream agreed with Gowdy.
“Yeah, like Trey is saying, I mean, that is something that’s definitely on the books, but it’s just one of those things that doesn’t get prosecuted a lot,” Bream responded.
What Gowdy and Bream left out was the fact that the only reason Biden is facing any criminal charges at all is because of an honest judge who rejected a sweetheart plea deal the Biden Justice Department tried to cut that would have seen Hunter Biden face no jail time and end all the investigations into foreign influence peddling that could have potentially implicated Joe Biden.
