I thought it was extraordinary when Hunter Biden's attorney said that. And  actually, I'm not surprised that the  judge had a problem with it. Think about that. Give me a free pass on anything that you may not have been able to pin on me so far, but that you may find out about me in the months ahead.

There's no impartial arbiter of this, except the good judgment of the American people and that ain't going to be a good judge for that for the Biden family.
