Wow, record time. He’ll probably get house arrest in a location convenient for all of his foreign “business partners” to come drop off bags of cash visit. Wouldn’t want any corruption interruptions.

Hunter Biden indicted on felony gun charges, faces up to 25 years in federal prison

Special counsel David Weiss has secured an indictment against Hunter Biden on three counts of felony gun charges.Court documents show that a grand jury indicted Biden on two felony charges for allegedly lying on an ATF Form 4473 when he purchased a Colt Cobra revolver in October 2018. That is...

Think about this, if he is found not guilty of falsifying the 4473, would that make it open season to make false statements on that form, thereby making the form invalid? Hmmmmm.

Only if your dad is "The Big Guy" lol

Even if he's convicted (which he should be) I don't see the Big Guy letting him spend any time in jail. My suspicion is that Daddy will pardon him if he is sentenced to jail time and drop his bid for re-election.

When will the mugshot be released? White powder man bad!!! lol

This country has become a pathetic joke

I've also heard it said that a potential avenue for his legal team would be to challenge the constitutionality of this law. Wouldn't that be a kicker if so after the Big Guy has been rallying for stiff penalties for gun law violations. Especially involving background checks.

It's going to be really interesting how this plays out. Hopefully the court won't toss it out because of Hunter's legal team argument that the previous sweetheart diversion agreement is binding.

How long can we slow walk this? Sentencing mid January of '25 possible?

 

[KG1]

We'll see if Biden's team will be caught in a another lie if it comes down to a pardon. WH Press Sec. KJP was specifically asked this question awhile back If Daddy Joe would issue Hunter a pardon for a conviction and she said unequivocally "No"

 

[loudgroove]

Well something just struck me. With the Hunter Biden indictment coming out. How long before the left tries to attack Trump again? They have used him to be a distraction over and over.

I saw the special CBS news alert come on in the doctors office and started yelling at the TV "Why won't they leave the Bidens alone and go after Trump instead!?!?!" just to see what would happen. No one cared.

 

[ancjr]

The CBS legal analyst pointed out that 4473 violations are rarely pursued outside of other serious charges.

Purely a distraction for the dems to say “see, we are for equal justice. Nothing to see by looking into Joe, nothing behind the curtain”

Hunter Biden was indicted on three Federal Gun Charges today Sept 14th 2023.

In layman's terms . . .

1. Lying on Form 4473 about drug addiction
2. Lying to FFL who sold him the gun (regarding drug addiction); a separate crime.
3. Being a drug addict in possession of a gun.

The third one could get tossed out with current case law emerging that having been a drug addict possessing a firearm is unconstitutional. However, that doesn't necessarily wipe out all of #3, or #1 and #2. Doesn't matter what he lied about. There is Karma.

William T. Kirk of Washington Gun Law summarizes some of the legal details in his YouTube video . . .




Will have to watch and see where it goes. Given the sweetheart deal that was already attempted, I don't trust anything until I see it.


Note to Admins: If there's already a thread on Hunter and his Federal Criminal Charges, move this there.
