Hunter Biden may have narrowly escaped a prison sentence. He has pleaded guilty to buying a handgun while under drug addiction. He will more than likely not serve any time for this violation. Based on an agreement with the DOJ under the “pretrial diversion agreement.” Hunter may have to stay drug-free for 24 months and/or receive addiction counseling.
Speaker McCarthy and other Republicans were infuriated by the decision balking a two-tier judicial system. Yet, you find them squawking about Trump’s innocence and how the DOJ has placed a target on him! They had been after Hunter Biden and trying to rope in President Biden along with him with false allegations of bribery by a foreign national. Lots of talk and hearsay when simultaneously they have commented they have no proof. Kind of “Guilty” until proven “Innocent.”
The two-tier sense of justice may unjustly refer to Hunter Biden whereas many others have not had to make a plea deal to pay their back taxes – they set up a payment plan with the IRS! About the omission of being on drugs on the documentation he submitted when he bought the handgun, Congress has refused to place further mandatory legislation on who can own a weapon. They keep avoiding discussion of the topic or claim 2nd Amendment Rights. In this case, hundreds of thousands of weapons are sold every year and I assume to addicts as well! Very few like some 300 are ever charged under this law. So, if there is inequity in the judicial system maybe Hunter is at the short end in this instance.
- You can plainly see the politics in the Hunter Biden case. Regarding his infraction, the Republicans in Congress were “Very” upset about the fact he was an addict and had purchased a handgun. While quite a number of “mass shooters” have had worse records and still manage to purchase automatic weapons and conduct mass shootings without the GOP in Congress stepping up to say anything other than “our prayers are with the family!” And they expect us to swallow that bitter pill – Wake up and Smell the Coffee!
