DOJ near decision on charging Hunter Biden with tax, gun crimes: report
NY Post ^ | May 3, 2023 | By Josh Christenson

Prosecutors are close to a final decision on whether to charge Hunter Biden with tax and gun crimes following a meeting last week between the first son’s lawyers and Justice Department officials.

Hunter’s attorneys met in Washington with prosecutors from the office of Delaware US Attorney David Weiss to discuss the investigation, which has stretched for more than four years across two administrations.

Sources close to the investigation told The Washington Post that Weiss is nearly ready to announce whether his office will seek an indictment on felony and misdemeanor tax charges and lying on a federal gun purchasing form — or let the whole thing side.

The news comes after FBI investigators reportedly expressed “growing frustration” over the pace of the inquiry, and an IRS whistleblower came forward to allege Hunter has received “preferential treatment” under the auspices of Attorney General Merrick Garland.

On Tuesday, Garland referred reporters to Weiss’ office for questions about the investigation and stood by his past testimony to Congress that there were no political considerations delaying the Hunter probe.

Remember what former FBI Director James Comey said regarding bringing charges against Hillary Clinton for mishandling classified information.

“Our judgement is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case,” Comey said. “In looking back at our investigations into mishandling or removal of classified information, we cannot find a case that would support bringing criminal charges on these facts.”

Clinton, or maybe a subordinate, allegedly stored classified information, up to and including, Top Secret on an unapproved, i.e. UNSECURED computer server. Did foreign intelligence services tap into this server? Your guess is as good as mine.

To quote James Comey...

“Our judgement is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case,”

Everyone move along with your lives...nothing to see here.

Garland is Joe’s wingman, no way in heck he’s going to bring charges against the smartest man Joe knows.

Either they wont charge him with anything or they will charge him with something that is basically a slap on the wrist so they can say “see we go after both sides”

If this were a Trump son, there would be no “nearing a decision”, he would have been charged even before enough compelling evidence had been compiled. The only thing that's even moved the needle on this is the optics.

Why is this up to the corrupt bastards at Justice? Hunter broke laws in multiple states. Why aren’t any of them bringing charges?
