What does Ben Meiselas say about Trump turning the White House into a criminal enterprise?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
Donald Trump turned the White House into an actual criminal enterprise during the first Trump administration, and now he's doing it again during the transition, and he will do it again when he's in office. So spare me the crocodile tears about President Biden pardoning his son Hunter when Hunter was clearly targeted with crimes that nobody in a similar situation had. Has ever been targeted before with. And you see takes like this: Dinesh de Sousa, he goes, kaboom. This is one of these right-wing extremist influencers and authors in the MAGA circle, you know, saying, kaboom, look, we're exposing Biden. Dinesh de Souza is someone who Donald Trump pardoned. Okay. I mean, seriously. And he's out there saying, look, we told you about Hunter.
Ben Meiselas 0:48
Okay, let's take a look at. At what Donald Trump has been posting, though, and what's going on in kind of the MAGA sphere right now. This is what Donald Trump posted on his social media. He goes, Does the pardon given by Joe to Hunter include the J6 hostages who have now been in prison for years? Such an abuse and miscarriage of justice. Well, why would it include the January 6th insurrectionist who attacked? And tried to kill police officers and tried to tear down our democracy. I I like our editor-in-chief Ron Philip Kowski's take right here. He goes, okay, now Trump can pardon hundreds of thugs who beat cops in an attempt to storm the Capitol and overthrow our democracy to stop the electoral count.
Ben Meiselas 1:35
And Democrats can criticize that because Hunter. It's the world's stupidest take, and uh Ron Philipkowski nails it again there. Philip Kowski writes George Washington pardoned people convicted of sedition, Adams for treason, Madison and Monroe pardoned pirates, Jackson for a robbery conviction, Lincoln soldiers who deserted, FDR pardoned smugglers, Truman bribery and fraud. I guess none of them cared about the rule of what you want Want to look at the people who Donald Trump pardoned by the way? You want to look at the Trump pardon list? How about Joe Orpayo, Scooter Libby, Dinesh D'Souza, Bernie Carrick, Mike Flynn, George Papadopoulos, Alex Vanderswan, Chris Collins, Roger Stone, Charles Kushner, his daughter's father-in-law, who we now appointed to be the ambassador of France, and just
Ben Meiselas 2:30
So you know what Kushner did. He set up his brother-in-law with a prostitute, videotaped it, and then showed it to his sister because his brother was a cooperating witness against him and a Republican-led criminal investigation into Kushner involving in election fraud.

How does Trump’s recent social‑media post frame the Hunter Biden pardon as a “sweetheart deal”?

Ben Meiselas 2:50
Jamie Davidson, Paul Manafort, Steve Bannon, Elliot Brody, Lil Wayne. And Judge Janine Piero's husband, Al Piero Jr. That's just a small handful of the people who Donald Trump uh pardoned. But let's focus on the fact that Hunter Biden, who you know what the charges were against Hunter Biden, by the way. It was Hunter Biden filled out a form when he was uh under the influence of drugs. Uh when He purchased a firearm because he was getting threatened, so he wanted to get a firearm, and he checked a box saying that he was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and they turned that into a felony. So, yes, the Republican Party who says basically everybody should have weapons of war, AR-15s, um, are they prosecuted Hunter Biden for that with a Republican special counsel.
Ben Meiselas 3:43
If that was actual Used to prosecute people, I think lots of gun owners would be prosecuted if they had recently had been under the influence of alcohol or if they had been under prescription drugs or drugs and checked that box the wrong way. And then Hunter Biden paid his taxes late. He paid them back, but he paid them late. And the Republican special counsel turned that into a criminal investigation. Um, here uh Aswin says. Sabasang says the following about uh about Hunter. I think this is a great take. My take on Hunter Biden news is that Trump has proposed creating a network of concentration camps to deal with undocumented millions in our country. I mean, seriously, I mean, for all the people who are whining and saying, oh, so we should be focused on what Trump's doing today.
