Hunter Biden trial live updates: Hunter Biden guilty on all charges in historic gun case
Hunter Biden in a statement following the verdict said he was "disappointed by the outcome" but "grateful" for his family and loved ones.

The verdict was not wholly unexpected

It will be interesting to see what sentence is handed down and what the reaction of the White House will be


S E E D E D   C O N T E N T


W ILMINGTON, Del. − A federal jury convicted Hunter Biden of   federal gun charges , a historic first for the offspring of a sitting president, after a trial featuring   wrenching emotional testimony   about   his drug use   from his ex-wife and sister-in-law.

President Joe Biden's son faces up to 25 years in prison for three charges − lying on a federal screening form about his drug use, lying to a gun dealer and possessing the gun − although first-time, nonviolent offenders typically get shorter sentences.

The 54-year old businessman and attorney's case came after   a plea deal fell apart   in July 2023 that could have resolved gun and taxes charges without prison time. Hunter Biden still   faces another federal trial   starting Sept. 5 in California for   allegedly avoiding taxes .

Hunter Biden in a statement following the verdict said he was "disappointed by the outcome" but "grateful" for his family and loved ones.

Biden's legal troubles coincide with his   father   campaigning for reelection. But the elder Biden as the trial kicked off issued a statement supporting his son and later   told ABC News   he wouldn't pardon him.

I did not expect a verdict to be reached so quickly, but I did think he would be found guilty after following the evidence presented by the prosecution.

The defense approach "he was not an addict at the exact moment he bought the gun" seemed very weak and wandering to me.

I do have a problem with people hijacking people personal and private possessions (like the other family member's diary) through hook and crook techniques being allowed to be used against them, but it is what it is (and allowable in a court of law). With that stated, Hunter (sober) understands by now that he did these things and its time to face justice: acceptance of the consequences (that can't be denied) is a form of maturity.

The evidence presented seemed pretty clear and convincing.

This charge is not often brought to trial (plea bargains) but the sides were unable to come up with a plea bargain that the judge would accept.

The trial was legit, the verdict was not unexpected if you followed the evidence presented and the defense case was pathetic.

I accept the verdict. There is law. There is understanding. There is law and understanding. The latter applied here. Hunter knew it was a 'long-shot.' As he left the court video seems to show a smile briefly on his face. It's called relief of sorts. And I can understand why: The long wait to know the outcome of his case is nearly over.

One of the factors in awarding prison time would have to be considered: What amount of prison time, if any, is sufficient to punish but not be an opening for Hunter to become a 'worse' character (falling from his new found deliverance from drugs) behind bars. Oddly enough, it is often rumored that you can get intoxicated or 'high' in prison!

That was my thought as well. Time spent in prison could seriously impact his recovery as an addict never is cured and is a lifetime fight. 

It's also my thought that as this is his first conviction and he didn't hurt anybody else, that he stands a good chance of not getting any prison time at sentencing. I would support community service rather than prison for this.

Curious thing about him is he is a "special case." A president's son would have to be isolated in prison to avoid any chance of revenge or retribution from someone who hates his father or is paid to just fight, "break something," or sadly worse. It could happen in an instant or snap-no pun intended. That said, isolation for a person who is not emotionally stable or 'newly emotional stabilized can cause a whole new set of psyche pressures.

BTW, without meaning to do so, I am making a case for why this judge may decide no jail/prison time is practical and my opt for 'new' forms of punishment without jail/prison. All of these politically-charged cases between two presidents and family will take deep and fresh thinking.

Of course, but so what?

His plea deal went south when  Hunter pushed for too much. Instead of settling for a deal that would close the tax and gun case against him, he demanded broader immunity for other potential crimes as well. Makes you wonder what other potential prosecution he fears.

It remained Hunter’s choice about whether to take the altered deal and he refused, choosing to gamble on his chances in court.  The next question is the likelihood of guilt on his tax charges.

Hunter Biden is being prosecuted for lying on government forms about a firearm and ILLEGAL drug use. And what SAVED his out of control. . .hiney. . .from worse is he did not found to have fired it in the direction of someone. I know it and he knows it too, because he can surely read like the rest of us a government form and yet he felt it strongly enough to GET the gun anyway. 

This is not about his second amendment right: this is about what he did (unlawfully) to get a gun he, or any other 'User' should not possess. His case was a 'long-shot' and it did not pay off for him at this stage. Call it what it is.

Must watch TV.  My gut feel, with absolutely nothing to back it is he will get a year in jail max.  As a first offender he may get less.  I would also guess if Biden loses he will pardon his son.  I would not have a major issue with that.  I don't always agree with who a president pardons but I am not going to go crazy over it.  It will be interesting if Biden wins the election if he would pardon his son, that could be dicey.  While I doubt it would happen I think it would be interesting if Joe stepped down from running so he could more easily pardon his son.  I also understand most of these types of cases don't go to trial because they are plea bargained out.  I have to wonder if any get jail time with the plea.  I am still not understanding why he chose to go to trial.

despite its best efforts, this DOJ convicted hunter of a felony.. a big thanks is owed to the irs whistleblowers, who exposed the efforts to protect biden

Whether you think the gun charge conviction today is just a red herring or not, just remember that none of the government’s shenanigans would have been exposed were it not for IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler.

Before their disclosures, Biden appointees had talked David Weiss out of charging the President’s son, and all cases related to Hunter Biden (with THESE facts, now on display to the world!!) were languishing with no charges at all. Weiss had allowed the statute of limitations to lapse on the most serious charges, Hunter Biden engaging in a scheme to hide his foreign income from Burisma in 2014 and 2015—money that raised serious questions about just what he (and his family) did to earn it.

Once U.S. Attorney Weiss’s office knew the IRS whistleblowers were making disclosures to Congress, AUSA Lesley Wolf tried to contain the damage by offering Hunter Biden an agreement requiring no guilty plea. That was so ludicrous on its face Weiss made Wolf go back and at least require a misdemeanor guilty plea—the sweetheart plea deal DOJ rushed out to beat the House’s release of the IRS whistleblower interview transcripts. But thanks to those transcripts being provided to Judge Noreika, she saw right through DOJ’s charade to sweep this under the rug with Hunter Biden.

Today’s verdict wouldn’t have happened without the IRS whistleblowers, but it was for a fairly straightforward but relatively minor charge. The whistleblowers disclosed far more significant crimes the IRS and DOJ had once agreed to charge Hunter Biden with. They also provided documents to the House showing how Hunter Biden’s testimony to Congress was contradicted by the facts. All eyes should now be on David Weiss to see whether he follows through with the tax felony trial and whether he acts on the House’s perjury referral.
