<p>George Washington University law professor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-level-of-denial-jonathan-turley-rips-into-wapos-last-defense-of-russian-collusion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jonathan Turley</a> said on Tuesday that he did not expect Hunter Biden&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/morning-joe-panel-spins-hunter-indictment-as-good-news-for-joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">plea deal</a> to &#8220;satisfy a lot of folks,&#8221; arguing that many critics were likely to feel he had walked away with little more than a slap on the wrist.</p>
<p>Turley shared an <a href="https://jonathanturley.org/2022/08/03/the-art-of-scandal-implosion-the-political-and-media-establishment-prepare-to-drop-hunter-biden-in-a-controlled-demolition/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> he had written a year earlier, predicting that the embattled son of President Joe Biden was likely to strike such a deal — one that avoided prison time but admitted culpability to lesser charges that could not be tied to his father — and said that for many, that was not likely to be enough.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Post is reporting that Hunter sealed a deal similar to the one that I discussed last year as a way to defuse this scandal. It is a plea on tax and gun charges that could now close out the scandal without jail time,&#8221; Turley tweeted.</p>

<p>&#8220;Hunter will admit to illegal possession of the gun but enter a diversion program — usually an avenue to avoid jail and allow expungement,&#8221; Turley continued. &#8220;Years of investigation into Hunter appear to have evaded any serious inquiry into the influence peddling operation of the Biden family. For critics, it will be like ticketing the get-away driver after a bank hold up.&#8221;</p>

<p>Turley went on to explain that legacy media outlets — many of which had been content to ignore or even <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/not-just-a-right-wing-media-story-cnn-is-suddenly-worried-hunter-biden-could-derail-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">actively scuttle</a> any stories related to Hunter Biden — now faced a far more difficult landscape to navigate.</p>
<p>&#8220;After years of burying the story, the media is now attempting an even more precarious exercise. It is called controlled demolition: the implosion of a scandal to limit any blast effect on nearby structures or individuals,&#8221; he said, <a href="https://twitter.com/JonathanTurley/status/1671154949496139780" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suggesting</a> that the goal of such an exercise would be to protect the president from any possible repercussions.</p>
