In the latest game of “squint hard enough and any two things will look the same”, House Republicans greeted the news of Hunter Biden’s plea deal with the Department of Justice by squeezing their eyes closed really hard and wishing they were in Kansas. Jim Jordan called it a “double standard of justice” whilst Marjorie Taylor Greene tweeted that Hunter Biden’s deal is a “stunt to make him look like he is just cooperating with the DOJ.”
One can understand if they sound disappointed. There is something anticlimactic about the Yellow Brick Road that brought us to yesterday’s news that Hunter Biden won’t (at least for the moment) be heading to prison. Turns out there wasn’t a big evil Wizard at the end of this journey after all, just a small, troubled man committing the usual misery crimes that are committed every day in America.
