Hunter Biden has been found guilty of three felonies today in his Delaware gun crimes trial.
The Wilmington, Delaware jury unanimously voted to convict Joe Biden ’s son of two counts of lying on a federal form to buy a gun, and one count of possessing the firearm while abusing drugs.
The historic conviction marks the first time a current President’s child has been found guilty of a felony.
He will now await Judge Maryellen Noreika to decide on a sentence for the crimes, which could be as high as 25 years in prison and a $250,000 fine – though the typical sentence is much lower.

“I take no pleasure in this verdict. He owned a gun while he was struggling with drugs, yet he never used it to commit any crime.”
I have to agree with you here. Society has looked for ways to criminalize everything so you can’t possess a gun without breaking the law. If someone is so dangerous that they can’t have a firearm, especially a rifle, then they don’t belong out on the street. Think about that, they put people out with available: torches, tools, cars, planes, knives, baseball bats, and all matter of chemicals to make explosives, but they restrict firearms. It doesn’t make sense, unless the government no longer wants an armed public.
Seems likely enough and, of course, to make DOJ look “non partisan”
This could tip the scales. If Hunter gets prison time, Joe will want to pardon him. Joe knows thats a killer politically. Joe will pardon him and resign.
Smells of Clinton document dumb tricks so they can come back around and say that’s old news and bury it.
I thought the Biden’s OWNED Delaware?...................
He will never spend a day in jail, sentencing will be after the election. He will be pardoned.
Now known as Convicted Felon Robert Hunter Biden!
The last action Joe Bidem will take before he losses massively to Trump is to pardon his son Hunter.
But that will backfire.
It will instead draw further attention to Ukraine, China and Romania....................
Bingo.
you articulated it better than I did, and that was a big point I was trying to make:
“Society has looked for ways to criminalize everything so you can’t possess a gun without breaking the law.”
I was betting on an acquittal since they were trying the case in a town in Delaware where everyone knows the Bidens. I guess to know them is not to love them.
I cannot imagine letting Hunter anywhere near me after all the stuff we’ve seen him do thanks to the pic on the laptop. EEWWWW
Dems being snarky: “Well that does it, Hunter’s now a felon so I can’t with good conscience vote for him (Hunter) to be president”.
The judge can do whatever she wants...He’ll never see prison. And daddy will pardon him anyways. Is mommy rushing to his side? Is daddy still proud??
Yeah. Biden owns Delaware. But the evidence was so overwhelming.
Biden will pardon Hunter. A President’s pardon authority is plenary. Applies to state and federal laws/courts.
Or when Trump gets elected he might.
AFAIK, the POTUS cannot pardon state crime, only federal.............
The poopy pervert will pardon him, no matter what he said.
That’s my understanding as well.
Sentencing will be a slap on the wrist.
