“As far as Merrick Garland’s Justice Department is concerned, Hunter Biden is done,” Carlson said, implying there won’t be further investigation into more serious allegations made against him.
“There was no predawn raid carried live simultaneously on CNN,” he noted. “There was no perp walk, no handcuffs, no press conference.
“Above all, there was no felony,” he told viewers. “Hunter Biden, who broke federal gun laws, can still carry a gun. It’s like it all never happened.”

According to Carlson, the Justice Department “just baptized Hunter Biden. A lifetime of sins washed away in an instant.”
“It was a secular miracle,” he claimed. “Most miraculous of all, Hunter Biden somehow escaped a FARA charge,” he added, referring to the Foreign Agents Registration Act, which he noted is selectively applied against political enemies.
“Hunter Biden was a foreign agent,” Carlson said. “He never registered as one. But for years, that’s exactly what he was. He sold access to his father and other lawmakers to the Chinese and the Ukrainians and countries throughout the world. There’s no debate about that. The FBI has known about it for years.”
“For years, they’ve had possession of Hunter Biden’s laptop, but they didn’t charge them for it today,” he continued. “They never will.”
“Why?” he asked. “Well, you know the answer. Hunter Biden has good genes.”

Per the Justice Department filing, Hunter Biden has agreed to plead guilty to two counts of “willful failure to pay” his federal income taxes and will further enter a “pretrial diversion agreement” over a charge of possession of a firearm “by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance.”
The plea agreement does not address the more severe allegations against Hunter Biden, many of which are currently being investigated by House Republicans.
