Federal agents investigating President Biden’s son Hunter have gathered what they believe is sufficient evidence to charge him with tax crimes and a false statement related to a gun purchase, according to people familiar with the case. The next step is for the U.S. Attorney in Delaware, a Trump administration holdover, to decide on whether to file such charges, these people said.
The investigation into Hunter Biden began in 2018, and became a central focus for then-president Donald Trump during his unsuccessful 2020 reelection effort. Initially, the investigation centered around Hunter Biden’s finances related to overseas business ties and consulting work. Over time, investigators with multiple agencies focused closely on whether he did not report all of his income, and whether he lied on gun purchase paperwork in 2018, according to the people familiar with the situation, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing case.
Agents determined months ago they had assembled a viable criminal case against the younger Biden. But it is ultimately up to prosecutors at the Justice Department, not agents, to decide whether to file charges in cases where prosecutors believe the evidence is strong enough to lead to a likely conviction at trial.
Given the intense political interest in a criminal probe involving the son of a sitting president, Attorney General Merrick Garland has made clear that the U.S. Attorney in Delaware, David C. Weiss, who was nominated by Trump in late 2017, is supervising the case.
Garland has vowed there will be no political or otherwise improper interference in the Hunter Biden case, and has not moved to push Weiss to make a decision, the people familiar with the matter said. It is not uncommon for Justice Department investigations to take years to finish.

If only the Prescott (AZ) city attorney would have charged Hunter Brandon with felonies in 2016:

He will just pardon him.
This has been obvious for years. They slow walked it and are understating it.
“If the Feds of any branch take down Hunter and put him in jail after a trial, his Daddy is on a really short time as Potus.”
1. It was never going to happen until after the midterms.
2. The charges talked about in the article do not involve Joe. So they are being very careful in that regard. There will be no pressure on Hunter to implicate Joe in corruption charges. . .
3. Unless, Joe refuses to step down in 2024 in favor of someone Obama selects. Then Joe will get an offer he can’t refuse.

Throw in Treason while you’re at it.
My prediction: Hunter will make a plea bargain, get some kind of a penalty and, after the midterms be pardoned by Joe. Half the country will never even know the extent of the Biden family corruption.
With a plea bargain, there will be no trial and thus no discovery and no publicity.
If anything at all........................
The Clintons had over 50 people KILLED!! Nothing going to happen to Slow Joe and his family.
Misdemeanor offenses /s
No one F’s with a Biden!
Sure. Charge Hunter Biden. Daddy quickly pardons him.
Probable outcome: Woops! Statute of limitations has run. Never Mind. —DOJ
He’ll never see the inside of courtroom, let alone a prison cell.
Yes charges for minor tax violations instead of laundering money during a war from our enemies. Treasonous acts in a war requires hanging.
