Biden is right that the DOJ is biased, but he has it backward: Mollie Hemingway

Fox News contributor Mollie Hemingway and 'The Claman Countdown' host Liz Claman discuss the political implications of President Biden pardoning 'criminally convicted' Hunter on 'MediaBuzz.'
The video segment from MSN, featuring Mollie Hemingway on Fox News, discusses President Joe Biden's comments on the Department of Justice (DOJ) being biased. Hemingway argues that while Biden is correct in stating that the DOJ is biased, his perspective is inverted. She claims that the bias within the DOJ actually favors Democrats, pointing to several instances where she believes the DOJ has shown leniency or favoritism towards Democrats while aggressively pursuing Republicans. Hemingway references the investigations into former President Donald Trump, the handling of the Hunter Biden laptop story, and the treatment of January 6th defendants as examples of this alleged bias. She suggests that this bias has been evident for years, undermining the credibility of the DOJ and the FBI, and accuses Biden of hypocrisy for not acknowledging this when it does not align with his political interests.
