Former US Attorney for Eastern District of Arkansas says DOJ has lost credibility over Hunter Biden

Former United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Arkansas Bud Cummins said that he's not sure the authority of the DOJ should be recognized anymore. 

"In my view, they have no credibility and their authority really, I'm not sure should be recognized anymore," Cummins said on the Tuesday edition of the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show. "I think we have to start from the ground up and build it back up if at all. And I don't know if that's politically possible."

Hunter Biden struck a deal with federal prosecutors to avoid prison by pleading guilty to two tax crimes and admitting to a gun charge that could be dismissed, court records released Tuesday show.

Conservatives from House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on down derided the plea agreement as a “sweetheart deal” and a “traffic ticket” emblematic of a “two-tiered” justice system because it spares Hunter Biden from prison while leaving Donald Trump facing hundreds of years in prison on 71 felonies in two separate indictments.

Cummins predicted that Hunter Biden probably won't be prosecuted. 

"I think at this point, we have to forget about prosecuting Hunter Biden," he said. "I don't think it's gonna happen."

"I don't believe there's ever been a real comprehensive investigation of Hunter Biden. I think there's a bunch of file doors that are crammed full of evidence that nobody wants to open and that no political appointee under the Democratic administration is going to try to pick that up," he concluded. "I just don't think that's going to happen."
