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.

I’m waiting for “no responsible prosecutor would bring charges” rationale for doing nothing in the face of these multiple criminal transgressions.

Dims enforce 2 standards. Small fine, and “justice” will have been served. At best.

You say, "Yes", I say, "No" You say, "Stop" and I say, "Go, go, go" Oh, no!

In his plea deal for a couple of misdemeanors, he will get a fine, community service, and ankle bracelet. Hunter will have the other 200 felonies dismissed with prejudice and Slow Joe will pardon his misdemeanors.

And related to that , we may see a statement to the effect, that no reasonable prosecutor would take such a case.

Stay tuned.

Hunter better have those hookers and blow ready—to celebrate when he is not indicted.

My prediction is that they will decline to charge him.

No reasonable prosecutor would prosecute. Just wait.

my guess is because the people in those states in positions to do some thing about it like their life more than the rest of US Citizens and the country.

trying to save their own butt, but selling their soul to let evil thrive.
