CASE SUMMARY
The New York Times:

[Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden] is charged with three felonies: lying to a federally licensed gun dealer, making a false claim on the federal firearms application used to screen applicants and possessing an illegally obtained gun in October 2018.

If convicted, Mr. Biden could face up to 25 years in prison and $750,000 in fines. But nonviolent first-time offenders who have not been accused of using the weapon in another crime rarely receive serious prison time for the charges.

He faces a separate trial in Los Angeles this fall on tax charges.

Fox News:

The trial begins nearly a year after presiding Judge Maryellen Noreika questioned a plea deal between prosecutors and Hunter Biden, which subsequently fell apart.

The agreement, blasted as a “sweetheart” deal by congressional Republicans, appeared to convey broad immunity to the president’s son on a host of potential criminal charges.

Breitbart:

Hunter used crack when he purchased the firearm, according to a wide variety of photos from the time on his abandoned laptop, and the gun was found discarded in a public trash can next to a school. The Secret Service allegedly intervened in the investigation of that incident.

Will Hunter go to jail? [Our bet = No]
Will Joe Biden pardon his son:

Notably, these charges fall under federal jurisdiction, granting President Joe Biden the authority to pardon his son at any time. Additionally, if Hunter Biden is convicted, the president could choose to commute the sentence, thereby reducing the severity of the penalty. The White House has indicated, however, that Biden will not pardon his son.

Delaware is a great jury pool for Hunter Biden

Fox News contributor and legal analyst Jonathan Turley said Monday that the jury pool in the Biden family’s hometown of Wilmington, Delaware was “great” for Hunter Biden.

“This is the hometown of the Bidens, and they may be hoping for a type of jury nullification. This is the opposite of Manhattan. This is a great jury pool for the defendant.”
