Miranda Devine: Hunter Biden benefiting from Trump’s noble ‘Anti-Weaponization Fund’ would be a slap in the face

It’s not just crackpot antisemite podcaster Candace Owens who is giving Hunter Biden uncritical attention so he can rewrite history.

Inexplicably, top Trump administration officials are also validating the former crackhead first son’s outrageous lie that he was prosecuted only because he was Joe Biden’s son.

It’s not clear why Acting AG Todd Blanche and VP JD Vance cited Hunter this week as their exemplar of bipartisan largesse to defend the new $1.7 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” for victims of lawfare, but it was a terrible idea.

It’s so terrible, you could be forgiven for wondering if it was dreamed up by deep-staters intent on denying justice to the real victims of the Biden administration’s lawfare.

People like Michael Flynn, Michael Caputo, Christina Bobb, Jeff Clark, Peter Navarro, Steve Bannon, Tina Peters, Carter Page, Bevelyn Williams, Mark Houck, Father Fidelis Moscinski, Tom Barrack and Matthew Perna suffered a variety of life-altering consequences when they were maliciously and selectively investigated and prosecuted by Joe Biden’s FBI and DOJ just because they supported Don­ald Trump.

Hundreds of these victims were targeted, whether to stop them from helping Trump or simply to serve as a wider warning that anyone associated with Trump or his conservative agenda will come to harm.
