Legal experts say the charges against Hunter Biden are rarely brought

WASHINGTON — The charges brought against President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden are rarely prosecuted, legal experts say.

Like the gun charge, the tax charges are rarely brought against first-time offenders and even more rarely result in jail time, Andrew Weissmann, a former FBI general counsel and NBC News contributor, tweeted Tuesday. "This is if anything harsh, not lenient," he wrote.

Former federal prosecutor Renato Mariotti agreed. "It insults the intelligence of the American people to compare misdemeanor tax charges to a scheme to steal Top Secret documents and obstruct justice when the government asked for them back," he tweeted, comparing the charges against Hunter Biden to the recent federal indictment against former President Donald Trump. "If anything, Hunter Biden was treated harshly — those crimes are rarely charged."

Renato Mariotti and Andrew Weissmann - two TOTALLY non-partisan actors.

What a third-world Mitthole this country has become.

Hunter agreed to a plea deal on or before Jan 21, 2021 - two and a half years ago. He told us that way back then (and I posted about this in FR).

Here is the link to the white house youtube streaming of where hunter tells us - cued at the exact timestamp where he says so.

President Biden Delivers Remarks and Signs Executive Orders

Furthermore, it is my understanding that plea deal was for him to save his life, albeit with some VERY strict conditions; and that he has since violated the conditions, thus was not able to save the life he bargained for...

If you are following the current "news", YOU ARE WATCHING A MOVIE!

Azzhole from the FBI AND NBC. I wouldn’t put much stock in what that Obonzo/Holder flunky says. He sounds like he may have a man crush on Bidenskyyyyy Jr.

. . . Andrew Weissmann, a former FBI general counsel and NBC News contributor. . . , and one of the lowest, most amoral, immoral and sociopathic scumbags to ever disgrace the legal profession . . .

Now there's a guy who belongs in jail for the rest of his life, with Marc Elias as his cellmate and "Bubba" as his "shower buddy."

LOL WOW I tell ya the chutzpah of these people it really does boggle the mind..I bet they convince themselves of that everyday when they look in the damn mirror..take Hunter’s last name and make it Trump and see if they say the same thing. Hunter ran a prostitution ring he took hookers across state lines for the sole purpose of sex..he is seen on video pulling their hair and abusing them and that’s fine according to these scum of the earth..and speaking of documents, ya think dear ol Dad was keeping those documents all over the place for kicks, he sold them to the highest bidder and had his son deliver the goods

On TV, they said that Weiss (Delaware) didn’t even look at the laptop. I think Hunter’s team was the source.

They’re still want to portray the fantasy that the laptop is Russian disinformation.

Project that fantasy.

“If anything, Hunter Biden was treated harshly — those crimes are rarely charged.”


And No exPOTUS had ever been charged with the bogus federal indictments that Trump has been charged with.

Yes, they can tell that to those in prison (or those who are finally out after serving their terms), for just the types of offenses Hunter Biden walked away from unscathed.

Total B.S. of an article.

I’m guessing the White House Press office wrote that piece and sent it to the author for publication.
