Hunter Found Guilty, Now What?

Hunter Biden was found guilty of falsely claiming to be drug-free when purchasing a handgun in 2018. The Wall Street Journal (subscription required) reported the federal jury convicted him of three counts. WSJ added that Hunter faces up to 25 years in prison but is expected to serve less.

No kidding.

President Biden, who has expressed pride in his son’s recovery, has declined to pardon him. The case aired embarrassing family details, adding political challenges for the President leading up to the election. However, many Republicans are quick to point out that this case is small potatoes and among the least of his law-breaking antics. Rep. James Comer said, “Hunter Biden’s sweetheart plea deal was smoked out after scrutiny by a federal judge. Today’s verdict is a step toward accountability but until the Department of Justice investigates everyone involved in the Bidens’ corrupt influence peddling schemes that generated over $18 million in foreign payments to the Biden family, it will be clear department officials continue to cover for the Big Guy, Joe Biden.”

Likewise, former Trump advisor Stephen Miller said, “DOJ is running election interference for Joe Biden— that’s why DOJ did NOT charge Hunter with being an unregistered foreign agent (FARA) or any crime connected with foreign corruption. Why? Because all the evidence would lead back to JOE. DOJ is Joe’s election protection racket.”

Finally, former President Trump also reacted, “This trial has been nothing more than a distraction from the real crimes of the Biden Crime Family, which has raked in tens of millions of dollars from China, Russia, and Ukraine. Crooked Joe Biden’s reign over the Biden Family Criminal Empire is all coming to an end on November 5th, and never again will a Biden sell government access for personal profit.”
