First my wife sang out the news as delivered by her smart phone Tuesday, and then a cousin emailed the revelation. Hunter Biden guilty on all counts.
No doubt Clueless Joe henceforth will not refer to Hunter without the “convicted felon” tag so liberally applied to one Donald Trump.
I can just see the campaign ads with Biden and his “convicted felon” son.
No? Clueless Joe and his tribe of sycophants would be disingenuous on such matters?
Of course there are differences between the convictions. Trump was found guilty of felony charges that were escalated from misdemeanors after the statute of limitations had expired. This by a jury instructed it needn’t agree on what Trump supposedly had done wrong to convict him, and after a trial presided over by a judge more fit for a scene in a Three Stooges short.
Order, order, order in the court.
I’ll have a pastrami on rye.
Hunter, on the other hand, came a cropper in federal court for mixing gun ownership with being a crackhead, fibbing to the Feds about it all, and having his former sister-in-law turned lover throw away the gun due to concern about Hunter’s mental state, and neatly cataloging all this in text messages.
Hunter’s crimes were felonies, not technical violations ramped up due to some overzealous left-wing district attorney. The statute of limitations had not expired on Hunter.
Allow me to admit right here I’m surprised Hunter was convicted. It wasn’t for perceived lack of evidence, but more because evidence doesn’t seem to outweigh politics in court decisions these days.
Reports indicate Hunter could face as much as 25 years in prison and a fine of up to $750,000.
But, before you indulge in orgies of celebration, I’m thinking there’s still room for a sentencing reprieve. Along that line, if Hunter serves more than a few days, or even less time behind bars, I’ll be stunned.
As to the fine, even if it’s $750,000, all Hunter needs to do is hurl some paint at a canvas to produce more of his kindergarten level art to be gobbled up by some Biden and Democrat cronies posing as art collectors, just to tamp down any appearance of anything not completely above board.
Any of Hunter’s art pieces could fit under the category of dog’s breakfast, a British term for a confused mess.
Beyond the gun convictions, it’s fair to ask why Hunter continues to skate on accusations of association with sex trafficking of minors, not to mention carving out percentages of his “business” deals for “The Big Guy”
Don’t forget, until a righteous judge intervened, Big Guy Joe’s justice department was offering Hunter a plea bargain that would have made the gun charges and a tax beef go away.
Now Hunter has gone down on the gun part, but still faces court on the allegations of failing to pay income taxes.
Of course, Clueless Joe and DR. JILL BIDEN, who expressed pride today over Hunter, will be equally proud if a guilty verdict follows on tax charges.
And they will be similarly proud when the consequences of Hunter’s misdeeds amount to a light slap on his money-grubbing wrists.
Seeing them forced to embrace publicly their beloved convicted felon brings a smile to my face. Maybe they might want to adopt Trump?
