Neither Joe Biden nor Clarence Thomas ever expected to be in this position.
But the two are about to come into direct conflict.
And Clarence Thomas couldn’t believe Joe Biden will ask him to do this shocking thing.
After a federal judge blew up a sweetheart plea deal between Hunter Biden and the Biden Justice Department that saw Hunter Biden get a lifetime get-out-of-jail-free card in exchange for pleading guilty to two minor tax charges and entering a pre-trial diversion on felony gun charges, special counsel David Weiss had no choice but to indict Hunter Biden.
Weiss filed three felony charges against Hunter Biden for lying on a federal background check form when he purchased a firearm in 2018.
Hunter Biden checked the box indicating “no,” that he was not addicted to drugs, when Biden admitted in his memoir that at the time he was addicted to smoking crack.
But Hunter Biden may never see the inside of a jail cell.
And that’s because of Clarence Thomas and the conservative majority on the Supreme Court.
Hunter Biden’s lawyer Abbe Lowell cited a recent Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals case as to why Hunter Biden’s gun charges would ultimately go away.
“The only change that has occurred between when they investigated [this alleged crime] and today is that the law changed,” Lowell told ABC’s “Good Morning America.” “But the law didn’t change in favor of the prosecution. The law changed against it.”
In early August the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals threw out the conviction of Patrick D. Daniels for firearms possession after Daniels admitted to previous drug use.
That’s because in 2022, Justice Thomas and the conservative majority handed down the landmark New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen decision which held that any gun control laws needed to comport with America’s history and tradition of defending the Second Amendment.
In Daniels’ case the Fifth Circuit wrote that laws stripping Americans of their gun rights for past drug use did not meet that standard.
“Our history and tradition may support some limits on an intoxicated person’s right to carry a weapon, but it does not justify disarming a sober citizen based exclusively on his past drug usage,” the ruling read.
If Weiss wins a conviction against Hunter Biden it is very likely that Hunter Biden’s case will go before Justice Thomas and the rest of the Supreme Court.
And at a time when Joe Biden is trying to ban and confiscate firearms from every other American citizen, Biden will be counting on Justice Thomas and the other conservatives on the bench to uphold the Second Amendment and free his son.
The idea of Hunter Biden’s fate resting in Clarence Thomas’s hands is quite rich.
Back in 1991 then-Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Joe Biden tried to destroy Clarence Thomas’s nomination to the Supreme Court with Anita Hill’s sexual harassment allegations.
Thomas totally denied the claims as false and, in his testimony, denounced the proceeding as a “high-tech lynching for uppity blacks.”
In a 2020 documentary titled “Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words,” Justice Thomas expanded upon those comments saying the hearing taught him that the real racists in America were white liberals that pretended to be oh-so tolerant but tried to destroy him as a black man because of his political views.
“I felt as though in my life I had been looking at the wrong people as the people who would be problematic toward me. We were told that, ‘Oh, it’s gonna be the bigot in the pickup truck; it’s gonna be the Klansmen; it’s gonna be the rural sheriff,'” Thomas stated.
“But it turned out that through all of that, ultimately the biggest impediment was the modern-day liberal,” Thomas added. “They were the ones who would discount all those things because they have one issue or because they have the power to caricature you.”
