How Timing of Hunter Biden Trial Will Be A Nightmare for Joe Biden’s Campaign

Hunter Biden faces three federal gun charges and up to 25 years in prison.

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.

Hunter’s trial will potentially overlap with his father’s 2024 reelection campaign.

Democrats are hoping for “the best-case scenario” by colluding with prosecutors and arranging a plea deal. Their goal is to resolve the charges quickly.

On the other hand, if prosecutors are true to their sworn oath and carry out their job fairly, Hunter Biden would be found guilty shortly before voters decide whether to give President Joe Biden a second term. This would be the Democrats’ “worst-case scenario.”

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.

Fortunately, the corrupt plea deal fell through. A trial date is typically set about 100 days from an indictment. It’s unlikely that Hunter will use his right to a speedy trial because this makes it more difficult to fight the charges.

The case most likely will not get resolved until next spring or summer before the general presidential election.

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 two and five years, given the seriousness of the charges.

Hunter faces three criminal charges, which include 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 proceeds 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.

It’s unclear whether corrupt prosecutors are still colluding with the Biden administration to keep Hunter out of prison.

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.” (Trending: Megyn Kelly Reveals Medical Diagnosis After Getting Jab)

In addition to the gun felony, Joe and Hunter Biden are accused of running and illegal International bribery scheme with foreign Nationals.

The Biden family received roughly 20 million dollars, according to subpoenaed bank records, in exchange for peddling their influence and US politics. Biden’s critics say he put the US government on sale and is guilty of high crimes, which warrant and impeachment.
