Hunter Biden has finally been indicted on federal criminal charges following a years-long investigation hampered by influence and corruption in the Biden White House.
In addition to allegedly running an illegal international bribery scheme with his father, Hunter’s most serious crime is a gun felony that carries a 10-year maximum sentence.
While other Americans are regularly dragged through the mud for committing the same crime, the rules have not applied to the president’s son. Even for first-time offenders, the average prison sentence may fall between one and three years. (Poll: Do You Trust the Biden Family? VOTE)
Hunter was slated to receive a sweetheart “plea deal” from prosecutors that was allegedly orchestrated with influence from his father, President Joe Biden. This would have resulted in Hunter receiving probation and avoiding prison time.
Hunter’s former attorney reportedly threatened to put President Joe Biden on the stand to testify if the case goes to trial. The threat had a significant impact on prosecutors, which ultimately led to the plea deal.
In a twist of fate, the plea deal fell through and Hunter has officially been charged with numerous crimes.
He’s accused of making a false statement in the purchase of a firearm; making a false statement related to information required to be kept by a federal firearms licensed dealer; and one count of possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance.
According to the indictment, “on or about October 12, 2018, in the District of Delaware, the defendant, Robert Hunter Biden, in connection with the acquisition of a firearm, that is, a Colt Cobra 38SPL Revolver with serial number RA 551363…knowingly made a false and fictitious written statement, intended and likely to deceive that dealer with respect to a fact material to the lawfulness of the sale of the firearm… in that the defendant, Robert Hunter Biden, provided a written statement on Form 4473 certifying he was not an unlawful user of, and addicted to, any stimulant, narcotic drug, and any other controlled substance, when in fact, as he knew, that statement was false and fictitious.”
The indictment also states that “on or about October 12, 2018, through on or about October 23, 2018, in the District of Delaware, the defendant Robert Hunter Biden, knowing that he was an unlawful user of and addicted to any stimulant, narcotic drug, and any other controlled substance…did knowingly possess a firearm, that is, a Colt Cobra 38SPL revolver with serial number RA 551363, said firearm having been shipped and transported in interstate commerce.”
Hunter’s former lawyer, Chris Clark, vowed that the sitting president would “unquestionably would be a fact witness for the defense in any criminal trial.”
Clark said the DOJ must avoid the “spectacle of a sitting President testifying at a criminal trial.” The criminal trial has the “potential” to result in a “Constitutional crisis” as Clark promised to call Joe to testify on Hunter’s behalf.
Using this strategy, Hunter’s defense team was able to secure a “sweetheart” plea deal with federal prosecutors. More than 300 pages of emails and documents exchanged between Hunter Biden’s legal team and prosecutors detailed how they arrived to this agreement.
Many Americans remain concerned that the U.S. justice system has been compromised under the influence of the Biden administration.
