Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR ) addressed fill-in host Peter Alexander on the spot on Sunday’s” Meet the Press” about President Joe Biden’s request for a pardon for his son Hunter.
Cotton questioned whether the older Biden would forgive his brother following the November presidential vote, but asked Alexander if Joe Biden would resign.
Alexander did not respond to the question.
ALEXANDER: And when you talk about what Joe Biden’s Department of Justice has done, Joe Biden’s Department of Justice is moreover, best today, prosecuting cases against Democrats, Robert Menendez, the Democrat of New Jersey, Henry Cuellar, the Democratic representative from Texas, and Hunter Biden. Monday, the Hunter Biden event will start.
Permit me enquire about what former President Trump has said. At the first formal event of this are- vote campaign, Donald Trump proclaimed” I am your vengeance”. He discusses seeking retribution against his political foes, and he claims to assign a special prosecutor to “go after Joe Biden and his home.”
Why is it suitable for Donald Trump to campaign against Joe Biden if it’s so disagreeable for the righteousness system to get, as you say, weaponized against him?
Fabric: Well— well, second out, Peter, let me just go back to the items you made about prosecuting specific Democrats like Bob Menendez and Henry Cuellar. I’ve noticed that the Justice Department of Joe Biden frequently targets Liberals who criticize him. Menendez criticizes him for his protracted criticism of Iran.
Henry Cuellar…
ALEXANDER: So he’s weaponizing it against people that do n’t like him?
COTTON: Henry Cuellar criticizes the government’s immigration legislation. The mayor of New York is being investigated because he has criticized Joe Biden’s immigration scheme.
Andrew: How about his own brother, Hunter Biden?
The scenario begins monday.
Contrary to Donald Trump, for whom they never also revealed the alleged crime he allegedly tried to cover up, Hunter Biden is innocent of so many crimes that you can hardly keep track of them.
ALEXANDER: So, just to be clear, though, if he was weaponizing the Justice Department, would n’t he want to keep any case away from his own son?
Fabric: He was forced — his own Justice Department tried to setup a settlement. A judge forced them to question Hunter Biden’s security lawyers and the attorney.
ALEXANDER: But would n’t he get rid of it completely?
COTTON: … who had colluded.
ALEXANDER: Why did he politicize it against his own child and only get rid of the case all up, by your argument?
COTTON: Effectively, because he’s going to pardon his own child after the election.
And that’s what you should be asking Joe Biden at the White House at some point, is do you agree to never forgive Hunter Biden after the election?
ALEXANDER: But let me go back — let me go back, Senator, to my first question, which is, if it’s so disagreeable for the righteousness program to, as you say, to be weaponized by Joe Biden against Donald Trump, why is it suitable for Donald Trump to plan on weaponizing it against Joe Biden?
Fabric: Donald Trump has said that his thus- called punishment will be achievements, success at the ballot box…
ALEXANDER: Also, he likewise said an eye for an eye.

COTTON: … peace and prosperity.
Consider, she paid for the dishonest Russian report that characterizes legal costs in 2016, when so many people argued that Hillary Clinton may face legal action for violating Donald Trump’s false accusations. She fined the FEC. Because that’s not what we do in America, Donald Trump specifically said he would n’t prosecute Hillary Clinton.
What the Democrats have accomplished in New York resembles what may take place in Brazil or Pakistan. It’s something that America had punishment another land for, for engaging in election meddling.
ALEXANDER: Sir, he campaigned on locking up Hillary Clinton.
Fabric: And he said, after the election, that that’s not what we do in America. If New York was …
ALEXANDER: But he campaigned on it, and then after said he would n’t do it. I guess — let’s get back to the issue about …
COTTON: Peter — Peter, if New York was a foreign nation, America would censure them for trying to pin the weaponization of the legal system, their political opponents and gear election results.
ALEXANDER: Are you OK, therefore, with Donald Trump saying he may destroy the Court against Joe Biden?
Fabric: He has said consistently that this should not happen. It should n’t happen to him. It should n’t happen to his…
ALEXANDER: But he’s fighting on that very basis.
(CROSSTALK)
COTTON: Peter, we’ve been down this road earlier. In 2016 persons called for Hillary Clinton to be prosecuted. She perhaps deserved it. However, Donald Trump claimed that if Hillary Clinton lost an election, that is not what we do in America.
