Hunter Biden, who President Joe Biden once called “the smartest person I know,” is facing up to 25 years in prison following three federal criminal charges.
The disgraced presidential son was kicked out of the Navy for being addicted to crack cocaine, then allegedly lied on a federal form in order to purchase a firearm.
The charges were filed under the leadership of U.S. Attorney David Weiss, who is working as the special counsel in the case. Many people, including Republican Senator Ted Cruz, have argued that Weiss is the wrong person for the job.
Weiss is accused of playing a role in protecting the Biden family and “engaging in obstruction of justice.” Cruz says Weiss “wasn’t the driver” but “he was just complicit.”
“He was so weak that he could not stop the partisans and main justice from turning it into a political effort to protect Joe Biden,” Cruz explained of Weiss, who was originally nominated by President Donald Trump as the US Attorney for Delaware.
“He is a wildly inappropriate person to be a special counsel,” Cruz added. “We should have a special counsel. We should have a special counsel to investigate Merrick Garland for whether he lied under oath the Congress into questioning from me and whether he committed obstruction of justice.”
Americans have rightfully remained skeptical about whether justice will be served in the case. Hunter was initially slated to receive a sweetheart plea deal that was allegedly orchestrated through influence from his father. This would have resulted in Hunter receiving probation and avoiding prison time.

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 three and five years.
Hunter faces three criminal charges, which includes 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.
In more than 300 pages of emails and documents obtained by Politico, Hunter Biden’s legal team came up with the perfect defense strategy: Threaten to put Joe Biden on the stand to testify if the case proceed to trial.
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.
Many Americans remain concerned that the U.S. justice system has been compromised under the influence of the Biden administration. It’s suspected that Joe Biden would simply issue a pardon for his son, if convicted.
In a twist of fate, the plea deal fell through and Hunter has officially been charged with numerous crimes. It’s unclear whether corrupt prosecutors are still colluding with the Biden administration to keep Hunter out of prison.
