From Bloomberg, “Hunter Biden Plea Deal Pumps Up Republican Paranoia

From Politico, “Garland denies allegations of politics impacting Hunter Biden plea deal

From Ipsos, “Reuters/Ipsos Poll finds half of Americans think Hunter Biden is receiving favorable treatment

From The Nation, “A Failson Meets a Failed Justice System

From the Wall Street Journal, “It’s the Criminality, Stupid: Why Voters See Crooks in All Corners of Politics

From the Washington Post, “Hunter Biden might have Clarence Thomas to thank for his gun plea deal

From Newsweek, “The Hunter Biden Sweetheart Deal Endangers Us All. Every Criminal Is Going to Ask for It.

From Reason, “Hunter Biden’s Prison-Free Plea Should Be Available to Everybody

From the Washington Times, “Va. mom of 6-year-old who shot teacher will cite Hunter Biden’s plea deal for leniency, lawyer says
