UPDATE: It appears I was wrong. The original plea/diversion agreement specifically disallows Hunter Biden from owning firearms in the future. Thank dog!
If this doesn’t prove that the justice system is biased under the current administration, then you’re not paying attention:
Hunter Biden agrees to plead guilty in tax case and avoid prosecution on gun charge
Misdemeanor charges for tax evasion? With a maximum sentence of 12 months each? DIVERSION for the gun charge? Really?!?
The worst part is his diversion plea on the gun charge. Because Hunter is entering a “diversion” program for the FELONY gun charge (the same charge for which this woman will likely receive 18 – 24 months in prison), at the end of the process he will be able to have the charges dismissed. No felony conviction at all!
What does this mean? HE’LL STILL BE ABLE TO OWN GUNS!!!!
That’s right. Federal law prohibits someone from owning firearms if (this is just a partial list applicable to this case):
1) They are convicted of a crime – any crime – for which they COULD be sentenced to more than 1 year in prison (regardless of the actual sentence given). This plea deal allows Hunter to plead to a specific charge with a one year maximum sentence, preserving his right to own a firearm.
2) They are convicted of a felony – such as the gun charge here – which Biden will avoid with his “diversion” sentence when the charges are dismissed at the end of the process.
In the end, all Hunter has to do is claim that he is no longer a drug user or addict (provided there is no new laptop full of pictures to contradict him) and – Presto! Biden can once again own guns.
I repeat – RUFKM?!?
