Of course Hunter Biden is wrong. It only took a jury in Delaware, where family names are gold, three hours to find out.
That defense is absolutely ridiculous. Biden is a drug addict – he wrote and documented a book about it – and then his lawyer said that he did not use drugs on the day, week or Tuesday when he bought the pistol – so he did not want to lie. federal form.
Result: Guilty on all three felony counts.
HUNTER BIDEN’S FORMER BUSINESS ASSOCIATE SAYS PURPOSE OF GUN TEST: ‘DISTRACTION’ FROM ‘PEDDLING OF INFLUENCE’
The only real mystery is why Hunter did not plead guilty and spare his father the personal and political shame of having all this dirty laundry aired in open court. Federal prosecutors are clearly pushing for that. Testimony from Hunter’s ex, heartwarming text messages, all of this could have been avoided.
He would have gone to jail.
However, for all the criticism from Republicans that the law enforcement system has been aligned with their side, the Justice Department of Biden has only punished the president’s son. Not many countries in the world could imagine such a thing happening.

In fact, the same DOJ is now suing two other prominent Democrats, Sen. Bob Menendez and the gold bar bribery case, and Rep. Henry Cuellar.
That must have been a tough psychological blow to Joe Biden, who went to Wilmington last night with his son, essentially repeating a statement he made last week.
“I will accept the results of this case, and will continue to respect the court process as Hunter considers the appeal,” said the president, who said he had ordered out the pardon. She said she and her husband are “very happy with who they are now.”
BIDEN’S METAL ACUITY QUESTIONED
Despite the cable news banner for hours, Joe Biden did not address the issue even though he was speaking at a gun safety forum, which made the situation awkward. But he will not give the detractors the sound bite they wanted.
You might think, since Donald Trump is also a convicted felon — and I’m not comparing the two cases — that he and his allies would allow the media to assume that it was Hunter Biden. But no.

The press secretary of the Trump camp said “this trial is nothing more than a distraction from the real crime of the Biden Crime Family, which has received tens of millions of dollars from China, Russia and Ukraine. Joe Biden’s administration is crooked against the Biden Crime. The whole family will end on November 5, and no longer will Biden sell government access for personal profit.
So we’ve gone from Hunter Biden to be immediately blamed because this is just a distraction. The gun crime case had nothing to do with his father, who constantly urged him to get sober. A second, more serious criminal case, for tax evasion, may have a limited parental role.

But the “Biden Crime Family” is aimed squarely at the vice president’s son who is trading on his last name to pursue a global business that is clearly inappropriate. So there is a deliberate shift from goal posts here.
Remember that House Republicans, after months of investigation, failed to produce evidence that Joe Biden earned money, even though he used harmless phone calls and a few lunches to help his son build a business. Also, a key source of the committee was accused of lying.
Special counsel David Weiss told reporters yesterday that the gun case showed “no one is above the law.” But he also suggested that the government would not propose harsher sentences than ordinary people.

One could argue that the case should have been brought five years ago. But there is also a claim that will not be filed at all against Hunter Jones.
These rare cases usually have to be connected to larger crimes, such as if the president’s son used an illegally obtained gun to rob a bank. (This is the argument that Trump makes, that he faces a mistake because he is a candidate for president.)
But Hunter possessed the handgun for all 11 days before the paramour threw it in the trash.

The judge must sentence Hunter Biden in time for the Democratic convention in August. And then came the second attempt. Bad timing for a famous son who could avoid this spectacle with a false plea.
