Hunter Biden agrees to plead guilty in federal tax, gun charges . . . gets slap on wrist . . .

This probably won’t come as a shock to many, but in case you didn’t hear yet, Hunter Biden was just gifted a “sweetheart” deal from the feds. Unlike President Trump, who faces life in prison for possessing his own “unclassified documents,” Hunter Biden, who smoked crack and had sexual relations with underage prostitutes and illegally purchased a firearm, just walked away with the most gentle slap on the wrist you’ve ever seen: pretrial diversion.
Hunter Biden, President Biden’s son, has reached a tentative deal with the U.S. attorney in Delaware, agreeing to enter guilty pleas to two misdemeanortax charges and admitting to felony gun possession, according to a Justice Department filing.
Hunter Biden’s plea will include an acknowledgement that drug use was a contributing factor in his gun crime and is entering into a pretrial diversion agreement, according to the filing. A source with knowledge of the agreement said it is expected to mean that for two years, Hunter Biden must remain drug-free and can’t commit additional crimes. If Hunter Biden fulfills this successfully, the gun count would be dismissed. This does not amount to a guilty plea.
A federal judge in Delaware must approve the deal. Hunter is expected to enter a plea to the charges specified in the agreement at a hearing in U.S. District Court in Wilmington. A hearing has not yet been scheduled.
The two misdemeanor tax charges relate to his willful failure to pay taxes for 2017 and 2018. A filing indicates Hunter Biden had more than $1.5 million in income each year. He has since fully repaid back taxes and fines, including $2 million reportedly paid to the federal government last year, with the help of a loan from his personal attorney. The felony gun charge relates to his possession of a handgun by a drug user in 2018. The filing identifies Biden’s handgun as a Colt Cobra 38SPL.
Chris Clark, an attorney for Hunter Biden, said “it is my understanding that the five-year investigation into Hunter is resolved,” in a statement to CBS News.
Hunter is being given pretrial diversion on the felony charge so that, as long as he keeps his hands clean for a year, he will not be considered a felon. Well, isn’t that convenient? If you or I had done what Hunter did, we’d be sitting in a jail cell right now. But because it’s Hunter Biden — a liberal crackhead, amateur porn-maker, and supposedly the smartest guy Joe Biden knows — he gets off scot-free. Let freedom ring!
Meanwhile, Douglass Mackey was convicted of conspiracy in a New York City courtroom for sharing a funny, obviously unserious anti-Hillary meme back in 2016, and he now faces 10 years in a federal prison. But we all knew this would happen. People like Hunter Biden never face consequences, and President Trump predicted it long ago. He understood exactly how this would unfold because he’s intimately and personally aware of the twisted and unjust two-tiered political system we’re in the midst of.
