Gordon T. Cleveland, the sales assistant at StarQuest Shooters in Wilmington, Del., who sold Hunter a Colt Cobra .38 Special in October 2018, was as good a prosecution witness as could be in the third day of Hunter Biden’s gun trial in Wilmington federal court Wednesday.
Cleveland, a father of three with diabetes who drives a trash truck for the city, had a second job at the gun shop to make ends meet when the fresh prince of Delaware strolled in late one Friday evening.
Hunter told Cleveland to keep the $13.19 change from the $900 cash he paid for his purchases.
But the salesman was so honest that he thought it would be wrong to keep it.
The store owner told the employee the money was his, but Cleveland sets himself high ethical standards, so he put the money in an envelope and left it by the cash register.
“I don’t keep tips,” he told the Wilmington jury.
“It’s not what you do in sales.”
Hunter’s attorney Abbe Lowell tried to portray Cleveland as nothing but a pushy salesman who coerced Hunter into buying the gun, the ammo, the speed loader, the BB gun and the multitool gadget.
But Cleveland points out he got the same salary whether he sold anything or not.
He was just good at his job and loves guns, which is why his colleagues called him “the whale-hunter.”
Like a ‘Real Housewife’
It was Hunter who behaved like a Real Housewife in Louis Vuitton, grabbing accessories off the shelf to add to his haul and driving off in his father’s black Cadillac CTS.
Cleveland’s appearance capped off a week of testimony and jury selection that highlighted the aristocratic status of the Biden family in the small state of Delaware where Hunter’s father has wielded power for 50 years.

Which is true of ALL addicts.
The fact that FJB would STILL make him his corruption $$ bag-man and inject Hunter into strategic relations with the Chinese and Russians, in a world where recording media and intel-organizations of both friend and foe are literally everywhere - simples boggles the mind with its stupidity and brazenness.
What it shows is someone who has no fear of repercussions of anything he does. With good reason. The man bragged at a public forum about extorting Ukraine to get a public official fired and when Trump tried to get info about it they impeached Trump.
NO JAIL TIME, HE’S THE SENILES ‘SMART’ SON.
“Hunter Biden’s trial details how he treated people as disposable objects during his drug-fueled stupors”
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wonder where he learned THAT from.
Fruit didn’t fall far from the tree.
Narcissistic Personality Disorder is generational in the Biden family.
Looks like a beretta to me. Any other guesses?
yup...
daddy wanted him involved even took him to China, all opportunities to sell access.
Isn’t that what most druggies do when living as an addict?
Following in Daddy's footsteps.
What a trashy Caucasian type of family.
...what a dips**t....did not know you are not supposed to put your finger on the trigger until and unless you are ready to shoot your firearm...?? but,......not to worry...he’ll walk...no jail time, no community service, he’ll walk out of that courtroom with a big smile on his face....just wait for it....
he’s not even charged with that one!
i would love it if after his trial they arrest him for the Beretta...
