Hunter Biden convicted of all 3 felonies in federal gun trial

Evidence of behaviour - witness, texts, financial records, his own words, laptop photos - was overwhelming and it was abundantly obvious to the jury he has a nose like a vacuum cleaner.

People will come in here saying that this was “equal justice“ or this is just one big nothing burger. They will also rant about a guy that has nothing to do with this trial. I got the popcorn ready!

The whole Hunter Biden thing turned into a debacle for the right in that it proved Biden a man of law and order, as a direct contrast to trump, the convicted felon.

Then Biden used this to launch a fiery speech about gun control and hope for America. Which again is contrasted to trump - who fell further into dementia this weekend talking about how he knows more about sharks and boat batteries than anyone…

“Joe Biden has said he would accept the verdict involving his son and would not seek to pardon him”

Doesn’t sound like someone weaponizing the department of justice. No howls of revenge, appeals or rigging either.

He’s guilty, take the punishment.

“Joe Biden has said he would accept the verdict involving his son and would not seek to pardon him”

For now

Not with HIS son, of course not.

He’s guilty, take the punishment.

For now

Witch-hunt!!

Rigged!!!!

Corrupt judge!!!!!!

...Or just someone who was found guilty by a jury of his peers based on the evidence put before it, and who will accept his punishment with dignity.

The verdict is not a surprise but what will the sentence be? Second Amendment in the appeals court.

“Joe Biden has said he would accept the verdict involving his son and would not seek to pardon him”

If Trump were president and one of his sons were convicted, would he pardon him?

You bet he would!

Talk about a cruel and nasty display of overreaching.

This man is obviously on the mend and needs help more than punishment.

Joe Biden has said he would accept the verdict involving his son and would not seek to pardon him”

For now

And when he doesn’t what will you say? They put a body double in prison? Hunter is secretly living on a remote island?

Not questioning the juries motives and verdict this time? How odd.

He faces a trial in September in California on charges of failing to pay $1.4 million in taxes

Prosecuted for exercising his Second Amendment rights. And for 'tax evasion', which should just make him 'smart', or so I have heard from a stable genius former President.

I sense a two-tier injustice system influenced by fundamentalist mega-capital , like Harlan Crow for instance.

And when he doesn’t what will you say?

That won’t happen, so no need to play hypotheticals.

They put a body double in prison? Hunter is secretly living on a remote island? 

Not sure what you’re talking about.

Not questioning the juries motives and verdict this time? How odd.

He lied on a gun application, the actual document is online; what needs to be questioned?

Republicans support gun ownership, except when it applies to the son of a sitting Democratic president.

He created a business, he’s a business owner?

Yes

No; even with the family being present in the court, it didn’t sway the jurors.

If you lie on a gun application, you should be barred from owning a gun.

And when he doesn’t what will you say? 

That won’t happen, so no need to play hypotheticals.

So you believe Biden will pardon him then? Ok. Let’s wait and see.

I’m saying that you frequently turn to conspiracy theories to cope with realities you don’t like.

Not questioning the juries motives and verdict this time? How odd.

Good, you’re getting it. Juries look at evidence presented and reach a verdict.

No ‘thank god for appeals’ this time? How odd.

Yes, he will.

I’m saying that you frequently turn to conspiracy theories to cope with realities you don’t like. 

I always deal with reality and never follow or believe in any conspiracies for the record.

Good, you’re getting it.

Getting what?

Juries look at evidence presented and reach a verdict. 

This is a Federal case, no choice, no other avenue, different from a state case and one that is heavily biased towards the former President.

No ‘thank god for appeals’ this time? How odd.

When you lie on a gun application? Good luck in the appeals process.

I feel for Hunter, and I don’t think he should do any (or not much) time.

But he should have taken a deal. The evidence of his guilt was overwhelming and actions have consequences, even for those suffering from drug addiction.

But the President let his only surviving son face justice without interference.

So much for the 2-tier justice system troupe.

Republicans support gun ownership, except when it applies to the son of a sitting Democratic president.

So you know this from that guy you work with in Japan and the Internet?

And no, there aren’t bigger fish to fry.

The GQP has nothing on Joe. Comer took his best shot and came up with zip, zilch, zero, nada, nil, nothing.

He was triple-dog dared to open the committee to a vote on impeachment and he blinked because he’s got bunk. Just like Trump’s cult.

Still didn’t change the 2-tier system, won’t change until this administration changes.

Yes, there are a lot bigger fish to fry, the left won’t stop it.

Well, once the AG changes, everything changes, regardless of what the Left thinks or wants or hopes

I think once the Republicans take over a lot of Dems currently will be leaving politics

“no need to play hypotheticals.”

What’s this income that he owes more than a million dollars in taxes on?

The real story, ignored by everyone here, is about ADDICTION !!!!!!!!!!!!

It affects the high and mighty and the low and powerless.

The sentence in a normal country with a normal judicial system, would be a long stint in rehabilitation, with monitoring for drug use afterwards.

But this is America, the land of the hypocrite , so I guess some jail time is coming.

If you lie on a gun application, you should be barred from owning a gun.

I’m glad you finally see that the Second Amendment can have limits imposed on it.

No, but they can go after anyone.

You need evidence and cause. I know that the right love to fantasize about arresting and executing their political foes without due process (see Qanon, the folks you described as “very sensible people”), but that’s not how civilized nations work.

"First of all, my son's done nothing wrong," Biden answered. "I trust him. I have faith in him and it impacts my presidency by making me feel proud of him."

well darn. Wrong again, Joe.

Is he still the smartest man you know?

A great opportunity for Trump to promise to pardon Hunter after the election, if he wins.

And Biden is using that to come for their automatic rifles. He announced it right after the conviction this morning.

How would that fit into Trump's plans for Retribution 2025?

“No one in this country is above the law,” said Weiss, the Trump-nominated U.S. attorney for Delaware, who was named special counsel by Attorney General Merrick Garland in August. “Everyone must be accountable for their actions.”

Who among the public can still believe this stuff? Just guff to anyone alive today who has lived compos mentis through the years of America's orange revolt and seen how so many of the prominent players in politics and in the justice system have been guilty of making an ass out of the law: not "equal justice under law", but "some more equal than others", a travesty of justice that a president's son can also look forward to.

How does the MAGAverse square Biden's weaponization of the DoJ with the same people convicting his very own son?

I'm guessing they will find a way for it to be both weaponized for Trump but not for Hunter. 

Or is there an even funkier conspiracy out there?

Or is there an even funkier conspiracy out there?

According to MTG, the DOJ did it at Biden's request, to garner sympathy for Biden.

A lot smarter than “shark or boat” guy who seems to think that his uncle’s MIT professorship is transferable.

That MIT professorship-in-law is what lets him know more about sinking boat motors and sharks than anyone.

That’s roughly what I tried to say, but it was moderated. (And I do appreciate their diligence in their presumably frustrating work.)

Anyway, the new talking point I’m finding on right-leaning news sites regarding the reason for the conviction is that it helps cover up more serious crimes. (Those mentioned in still-existing posts above.)

How does the MAGAverse square Biden's weaponization of the DoJ with the same people convicting his very own son?

Easy, get a conviction, maybe spend a little time in a cushy Federal prison and then pardon him, that’s how it should play out

You would think as Democrats, they would abhor guns or even having one in possession - ever.

Shameful

Hunter Biden will still be dealing with his appeal process even after his father finishes his second term in office.

Gotta go for Federal.....better class of crim.
