Thursday’s indictment of presidential prodigal son Hunter Biden on three gun-related criminal counts is the latest twist in the long, winding and rapidly escalating saga that is the Biden crime family.
The indictment...comes a month and a half after Weiss’ obfuscatory plea agreement was summarily rejected by Judge Maryellen Noreika. That prior plea deal, curiously, would have handled the same gun crimes for which Hunter has now been indicted with a slap-on-the-wrist pretrial diversion agreement. Fact is, Hunter transparently lied that he was “not an unlawful user of, or addicted to, any stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance” when he filled out a Firearms Transaction Record to purchase a Colt revolver in 2018. It is indisputable that Hunter was a drug addict at the time he purchased the firearm; he openly admitted as much in his ill-advised 2021 memoir.
True, the third count of Weiss’ indictment, invoking the federal provision (18 U.S. Code Sec. 922(g)(3)) that criminalizes possession of a firearm when one is “an unlawful user of, or addicted to, any stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance,” is arguably unconstitutional under the Supreme Court’s current Second Amendment jurisprudence; in fact, just last month, a panel of the conservative-leaning U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit held just that. But Delaware is not part of the Fifth Circuit, which only covers Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi. A criminal defense on such grounds, moreover, would put someone named “Biden” in the highly ironic position of advancing a maximalist, National Rifle Association-style Second Amendment argument. And even if Hunter did make such an argument, the first two counts of the indictment would remain untouched. In sum, the three criminal counts could in theory — and assuredly only in theory — yield up to 25 years in the slammer.

Some Friday at 4:45 pm they’ll let it slip in a massive info dump that Hunters gun charges got lost in the mail and he’s free to go on smoking crack and fondling people.
Yep.
He was charged because it’s the least serious of his crimes. He’ll get a slap on the wrist and Democrats will declare justice has been served.
the gun he’s charged with is a revolver
the gun in all the pron pix is an automatic...
no mention of that one
Yeah, but it makes his IRS problems go away.
And they don’t touch his criminal father.
It also isn’t directly connected to Slo-Joe.
Just remember what the democrats did to Seth Rich, when he let data be compromised. The laptop from hell really passes off the DNC. They will exact their own brand of justice on Hunter in 2025.
Ha! Moving at the speed of a glacier. It's all slow-motion Kabuki for the masses.
And the sun could (in theory, mind you) rise in the west tomorrow.
A noble White Knight rode into town to Drain The Swamp and look what happened to him.
The liars and lowlifes at the DOJ want to charge Hunter with spitting on a sidewalk next. Their butt boys in the MSM are supportive.
He was charged because it's the only crime that doesn't implicate The Big guy.
Federal Income Tax Evasion? Where'd the money come from, and where did it go, Hunter? (Implicates Joe.)
FARA (Foreign Agent Registration Act) violation? Who did you lobby, Hunter? (Implicates Joe.)
I don’t agree with that headline at all. I think the very worst thing that’s going to come out of this is hunter gets a suspended sentence and or some piddly shit community service. And the nasty stuff of the foreign influence peddling and such simply just gets forgotten. As far as dementia Joe is concerned the worst thing that’s going to happen there is they don’t let him run again. He certainly not going to suffer any legal consequences for selling this country out.
On a sort of side note which is basically my personal feeling, as most of us know some forms of dementia cause a great deal of anxiety and mental torment. While this is very sad and you don’t wish it on people, if it happens to Joe I don’t give a damn. He has sold out his country, he has caused the deaths of many people and many more are going to suffer and die after he turns this country into Northern Mexico. So this may make me a bad person, but if he can’t be shown justice via the legal system, perhaps his illness will do so. I don’t imagine there’s any amount of suffering that he could have that would equal the suffering (and death) that he has caused and will cause millions.
Then there’s the fact that RARELY is anyone convicted of these charges.
But don’t be surprised if this case is tossed on some sort of technicality or it’s delayed long enough for them to find someone else to run instead of his dad. Whose last act as President will be to pardon his son for anything and everything.
Given the fact that Joe Biden has no idea where he is, at any given moment, issuing the pardon won’t be a big deal. He’ll be on his way out. They got their money and the Left will ignite another fire or four to force the pardon controversy to the last page, if that.
That’s the way I see it. And he will get out early. If he even sees the inside of a prison at all.
As is most always the case with Democrat/Communists, this is all for show ... and, because he has become an impediment to the Democrat/Communist Party objectives, to ease FJB out of the White House.)
He was charged because it’s the least serious of his crimes.“
Exactly and there is no possibility of tying to Traitor Jos
I’ll bet Joe has the pardon papers already made up so as soon as hunter gets convicted of any crime his papa will issue them.
It’s the only one of his crimes that doesn’t involve Joe.
