Jack Jones ought to hire Christopher Clark.
Jones is the New England Patriots cornerback who was arrested on gun charges at Logan Airport a week ago.
Christopher Clark is Hunter Biden’s lawyer. He is the man who helped Joe Biden’s degenerate son Hunter, 53, dodge jail time for illegally carrying a gun, as well as for two watered down tax charges.
Jones, 25, was released on $30,000 bail Tuesday after pleading not guilty in East Boston Municipal Court.
Biden on the same day was released without bail after pleading guilty to two misdemeanor tax crimes and to the illegal possession of a gun.
It took the U.S Justice Department and the FBI five years to investigate Biden and get him before a judge.
It took only five days for Jones.
Jones faces serious prison time if convicted.
Biden doesn’t, but he’ll be on probation.
And Joe Biden’s war on gun violence has suddenly turned into gun silence.
One obvious difference in the cases is that Hunter Biden only had a Colt Cobra .38 Special that his girlfriend at the time, who was the wife of his late brother, threw in a dumpster.
Jones allegedly had two 9mm Glock handguns, one of which was loaded, in a duffle bag with no girlfriend or dumpster in sight.
Why the young man was allegedly carrying such artillery is anyone’s guess, although he is not the first New England Patriot to walk around armed.
Jones was headed back to Los Angeles after participating in the Patriots’ off-season training program. Jones was expected to play an important role in the upcoming season before his arrest. He was drafted by the Patriots in the fourth round in 2022.
While Jones had a run in with the law after he left the University of Southern California, compared to Hunter Biden, he’s a Boy Scout.
But he has no power broker to help him out, like Hunter Biden has. And Joe Biden, as expected, is supporting his son. And everyone knows he pulled all the strings to keep his son out of prison.
Joe Biden is no Winston Churchill. But like the British World War II prime minister, Biden stands by his son and is proud of his battle to turn his life of drug and alcohol abuse around.
Churchill’s son Randolph was, like Hunter Biden, a bad drunk, a bad drug abuser, a frequent deadbeat and a serial womanizer.
Other than that, he could do no wrong. Churchill always had his back the way Biden has Hunter’s back.
The White House said, “The president and first lady love their son and support him as he continues to rebuild his life.” Biden last said he was “proud” of Hunter which, some might ask, “For what?”
Granted that Jones, who is in the second season of his four-year, $4.4 million rookie contract with the Patriots, is ably represented by Rosemary C. Scapicchio. She is a highly respected and effective criminal defense lawyer.
But she is not related or connected to Joe Biden or the Democrat-run US Justice Department or the Washington establishment. Neither is Jones.
Otherwise, the big fix would come into play, as it did for Hunter Biden.
If the average American did what Hunter Biden did, they would be on their way to prison.
But there is now a two-tiered system of justice in the country, thanks to Joe Biden and the Democrats. Jones should make that part of his defense.
Allowing Hunter Biden to walk while seeking to jail Donald Trump is an example of how Joe Biden and the Democrats have so politicized the FBI and the justice system that Americans believe that equal justice is a joke.
Everyone is equal under the law, of course, except when you are above it, like the Bidens.
GOP House Speaker Kevin McCarthy nailed it when he said, “If you are the president’s leading opponent, the DOJ tries to literally put you in jail and give you prison time. If you are the president’s son, you get a sweetheart deal.”
There is no fix like a big fix.
