It\u2019s not just crackpot antisemite podcaster Candace Owens who is giving Hunter Biden uncritical attention so he can rewrite history.<\/p>\n

Inexplicably, top Trump administration officials are also validating the former crackhead first son\u2019s outrageous lie that he was prosecuted only because he was Joe Biden\u2019s son.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s 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 \u201cAnti-Weaponization Fund\u201d for victims of lawfare, but it was a terrible idea.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s 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\u2019s lawfare.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s FBI and DOJ just because they supported Don\u00adald Trump.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Some served prison time, many faced FBI dawn raids and ongoing surveillance, fines, disbarment, debanking, crippling legal bills and bankruptcy. <\/p>\n

Even if they were acquitted or never indicted, careers and reputations were destroyed, and many suffered lasting harm to their physical and mental health. <\/p>\n

And there were suicides.<\/p>\n

Blanche announced the $1.776 (get it?!) billion compensation fund on Monday, aimed at helping people who were selectively targeted for investigation or prosecution under the Biden administration.<\/p>\n

The next day, when testifying before a Senate Appropriations subcommittee, Blanche came under heavy fire from Democrats who smelled blood because the botched rollout of the fund had made it vulnerable to accusations that it\u2019s a corrupt \u201cslush fund\u201d for Trump\u2019s cronies.<\/p>\n

The lawfare compensation fund is a noble cause, along the lines of an asbestos victims\u2019 compensation fund or a fund the Catholic Church in Australia set up for victims of historical sexual abuse.<\/p>\n

In this case, it would at least repay millions of dollars in legal fees and perhaps health costs incurred by lawfare victims.<\/p>\n
