Hunter Biden's federal gun trial begins in Delaware
BBC ^ | June 3, 2024 | Bernd Debusmann Jr

Prosecutors allege the younger Biden, 54, lied about his drug use on application forms when he purchased a handgun in 2018.

He faces up to 25 years in prison if convicted of the three federal counts, in a case that began on Monday with jury selection.

The trial - which comes as his father campaigns for re-election - is likely to see prosecutors delve into graphic details of Mr Biden's crack cocaine addiction, potentially providing fodder for the president's political foes.

“It wasn’t me!”. “ I never checked a box about drug use!”. “Someone forged my signature while I was at semi driving school like my dad!”. “I was putting team together at that time to mount a rescue of my brother trapped in the mountains of afghanistan!”

I don’t know much about the case, but it is certain that Hunter will be found not guilty of all charges because that is the plan - a jury of 12 citizens will find him not guilty and Joe Biden will laud the rule of law.

he “might” be found guilty of something, but take it to the bank, it will be a minor infraction with him getting a slap on the wrist.

There is no way, NO WAY, this clown is found guilty. Deep State and him being the big guys son guarantee it.

No doubt. In Trump's case Bragg does not jail felons, but Trump will be jailed. In Hunter's case most people would get years of jail time, Hunter will not get any.

Even if he gets out of this conviction there’s another trial coming up in California on other chargers. Keep hope alive.

I’m going to guess “Not guilty”.

LOL...

No one is above the Law!

My prediction...

The Jury will find Hunter guilty.

The Democrats will campaign on that Jury decision until November.

Shortly after, a Delaware appeals court will throw out the conviction.

Hunter will never be re-tried.

Another show trial. So if guilty Democrats are acquitted and innocent Republicans are convicted, is justice being served on average?

Case Dismissed With Prejudice

Or

Not Guilty

And, of course, his being kicked out of the Navy for being a crackhead, isn’t being allowed as evidence that he knew he was a crackhead, because it would be prejudicial to the case, which is specifically about him signing the the gun purchase application, knowing he is a crackhead.

Meanwhile, in New York, we learned through a case about alleged falsifying business documents, that the (real) POTUS wears boxer shorts and likes kinky sex because that was pertinent to the case about alleged falsifying business documents.

Don’t be surprised if the Judge in Delaware gives a directed verdict after opening arguments . . .

“Hunter Biden, the son of Joe Biden, become the first child of a sitting president to be a criminal defendant”

In addition the totalitarian threat “no one is above the law”, the Leftists argue that Trump must be guilty because he’s the first former president to face criminal charges.

Probably another OJ Jury will find him innocent.

never happen.....if any one of us Freepers lied on that form 4473 or whatever it is, we’d be wearing orange jumpsuits now...this scumbag will walk, or more outrageous, be pardoned by his brain-dead father, the pretend President of the United States....

No one is above the law. And Joe Biden is the law.

I thought they had already found him not guilty because he is a drug addict and knows not what he does.
