an excerpt......
HUNTER INDICTED: President Biden’s son Hunter has been indicted on three federal felony gun charges, accusing him of lying about being addicted to cocaine when he bought a firearm in October 2018.
The charges are somewhat unusually severe given that the gun was not used in a crime. The indictment comes weeks after a judge rejected a plea deal in which the younger Biden would have avoided a trial.
Also, the indictment comes after a federal appeals court last month struck down the law prohibiting users of illegal drugs from buying a gun. Ironically, Hunter Biden’s defenders are saying this is a political prosecution as Republicans say about Donald Trump.
Also, lawyer Abbe Lowell said the indictment “violates the agreement the government made with Hunter Biden,” a reference to the deal he reached with prosecutors this summer, which later collapsed. “Hunter owned an unloaded gun for 11 days,” Lowell told CNN.
Lowell blamed the reversal of the plea deal on “all the Republican screamers.”
It’s a bad break for Joe Biden, having a son headed for criminal trial going into the 2024 election. Hunter frequently goes to White House events. This also comes as House Republicans are claiming that the President was involved in sleazy foreign business dealings with his son.
