Hunter Biden guilty of felony gun charges, faces 25 years in prison
2024-06-12
[NYPOST] Hunter Biden became the first child of a sitting president to be convicted of a crime Tuesday after a federal jury found him guilty on three counts related to lying about his drug use in order to buy a gun.

The panel of six men and six women deliberated for three hours across two days before convicting the 54-year-old of making a false statement in the purchase of a firearm, making a false statement related to information required to be kept by a federally licensed firearms dealer, and possession of a firearm by an unlawful user of or addict to a controlled substance.

The first son stared at the jury and made no visible reaction as the foreperson read the verdict. Hunter’s wife Melissa sat in the gallery behind him, next to her husband’s "sugar brother," attorney Kevin Morris.

First lady Jill Biden, who was present at every day of the trial except one, was caught out by the speed with which the verdict was reached — entering the courtroom two minutes after it had been read.

A few moments later, Hunter left the federal courthouse in Wilmington holding hands with wife Melissa Cohen Biden. He touched his stepmother Jill on the shoulder before getting in a black SUV guarded by Secret Service agents — and ignored the nearby pack of news hounds.

#4  Hard to find anyone who is satisfied with this process, most are unimpressed with the show trial pointing at cover for more serious crimes and lightning rod vs. Trump, but there are some pretty spicy takes on it like if you hate background checks for firearm purchases you should hate this verdict.

Rumors:
* $75,000 fine and Probation with Drug counseling.

* Delay sentencing or reporting date until 2nd week in Nov. Then Biden has nothing to lose 1 way or the other.

* Cartel/Terrorist / Evil Far Right hit or Suicide attempt ... badly injured and hospitalized then placed in at home special care unit.

* Biden pardons both Trump and Hunter citing obvious corrupt courts proceedings?

Any others ?
