Hunter Biden, the son of former Vice President Joe Biden, has been convicted on three felony gun charges. This stems from an incident in which he allegedly lied on a background check form when purchasing a firearm. The trial for these charges is set for September. This news comes after a plea deal that would have allowed Biden to plead guilty to misdemeanors in exchange for avoiding jail time on a felony gun charge fell apart under scrutiny from a federal judge.
The unraveling of the plea deal was fueled by IRS whistleblowers who came forward to expose what they believed to be preferential treatment given to Hunter Biden by prosecutors. These whistleblowers accused the Department of Justice of dragging its feet on the investigation and trying to protect Biden. After their testimonies, the judge overseeing the case raised questions about the immunity provision in the plea deal, which shielded Biden from prosecution for a range of potential crimes related to his overseas business dealings.
Hunter Biden May Never Have Been On Trial Were It Not For Whistleblowers And A No-Nonsense Judge https://t.co/0fG5mkePKv

Conservative commentators have criticized the handling of Hunter Biden’s case, suggesting that it took whistleblowers and a vigilant judge to push for accountability. They argue that special counsel David Weiss initially tried to let the case fade away until external pressure made it impossible to do so. Additionally, Hunter Biden is also facing federal tax charges in California for allegedly evading over $1.4 million in taxes. The indictment claims that during the period he failed to pay taxes, he spent lavishly on personal expenses like drugs, escorts, luxury hotels, and cars.
This case has sparked debate about fairness and justice, with some questioning whether individuals with political connections receive special treatment in the legal system. Critics of the Biden family point to this as another example of the elite escaping consequences for their actions. Conservatives argue for equal treatment under the law, regardless of one’s last name or political affiliations. The upcoming trials for Hunter Biden will likely continue to draw attention and scrutiny as the legal process unfolds.
