Hunter Biden Just Got Off Easy

With all of the overwhelming brutal attacks on Israel plaguing the media and everyone’s minds, let us not forget Hunter Biden’s criminal history that the Democratic Party wants us to pay no heed to. 

This week, the presiding judge in the case against Hunter Biden agreed to drop a severe charge to push through a deal that the president’s son reached with prosecutors. 

U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika removed gun possession from his list of charges, making him only face a three-count indictment on wrongful gun possession and lying on official application forms.

President Joe Biden’s son was charged with lying about using drugs when he bought and kept a revolver for 11 days in 2018 when he admitted to struggling with addiction.

Earlier this month, Hunter Biden pleaded not guilty as the Democratic Party fears the case could negatively impact his father’s chances of being re-elected in the upcoming 2024 election.

The legal saga for President Joe Biden’s son took a spectacular turn earlier this summer when a plea deal collapsed under scrutiny by a judge who questioned why Hunter would be allowed to avoid gun charges in exchange for pleading guilty to lying about his income. Prosecutors at the time claimed gun charges were still on the table, something Hunter’s lawyers disputed in court. By continuing to plead not guilty to the other charges, Hunter threatens to drag his case to trial just as President Joe Biden’s campaign struggles continue to garner headlines. Biden, who is already underwater in polling among the public and members of his own party, will be forced to answer questions about his involvement in Hunter’s business activities.

Hunter Biden is also facing charges involving filing false tax returns. He was initially expected to plead guilty to misdemeanor tax counts in an agreement with prosecutors and avoid prosecution on a gun possession charge related to the 2018 purchase under the condition he stopped using drugs. 

However, the sweetheart plea deal in July after Noreika questioned the deal. The current gun indictment was filed just weeks later.
