“[The special counsel appointment] is just another reflection of the true independence of this Department of Justice. A Trump-appointed US Attorney is investigating the President’s son,” New York Democrat Dan Goldman declares. “That is pretty remarkable, and you don’t hear from the other side a respect for the fact that Joe Biden has stayed out of this investigation, and so I defer to Merrick Garland and David Weiss. If Hunter Biden has committed crimes, he should be charged with them. I’m a Democrat saying that. You don’t hear any currently elected Republicans saying that if Donald Trump committed crimes, he should be charged with them and held accountable. And that’s a critical distinction that the public needs to understand.”
Goldman’s point is key to the current political situation: No Democrat has protested either the investigation or the appointment of a special counsel to look into allegations of misdeeds by Hunter Biden. There has been no Democratic politicians claiming “witch hunt” or persecution. As the true Party of “law and order,” Democrats are allowing the Constitutional system of justice to play out, not demanding a termination of the investigation for fear of what it will find.
