Of course Hunter Biden was guilty. It just took a jury in DelawareIt took three hours to figure out where the family name Golden is from.
His defense was absolutely absurd. Biden was a drug addict – he helpfully wrote and recorded a book about it – then his lawyer argued that he was not using drugs the day he bought the handgun, Tuesday of the week or the other – so he had no intention of lying on the federal form.

The only real mystery is why Hunter didn’t plead guilty and save his father the personal and political embarrassment of exposing all this mess in open court. Federal prosecutors were clearly pushing for a deal. The testimony of Hunter’s ex-lovers, the painful text messages, all of it could have been avoided.
In any case, he would have to go to jail.
And yet, despite criticism from Republicans that law enforcement has been weaponized against their side, Biden Justice Department The president’s son has been convicted. There are very few countries around the world where you can imagine this happening.

Biden’s mental acuity questioned
Despite hours of cable news banner play, Joe Biden did not even talk about the matter when he addressed a gun safety forum, creating an awkward situation. But he wasn’t about to give his critics the soundbite they wanted.

“This lawsuit is nothing more than a distraction from the real crimes of the Biden Crime Family, who have made billions of dollars from China, Russia,” the Trump camp’s press secretary said. and Ukraine.Crooked Joe Biden’s reign over the Biden crime family ends on November 5, and never again will a Biden sell government access for personal gain.”
