Staff ReportsA federal judge has granted Hunter Biden a little holiday cheer by postponing his sentencing for his first criminal case by a mere three weeks, now set for December 4. This legal comedy of errors stems from his three-count felony conviction for illegally possessing a firearm while allegedly enjoying a crack cocaine lifestyle. Naturally, his attorney sought this delay, citing overlapping legal issues—because who doesn’t juggle multiple court cases while dealing with addiction?
Some might find it amusing that the man at the center of this fiasco is none other than the son of the sitting president. Hunter’s defense attorney, Abbe Lowell, pointed to a scheduled civil lawsuit in California on November 12 as the reason for needing to shuffle this date. Apparently, this legal wrangling requires a calendar management system that would make a corporate executive blush. Who knew that the art of dodging accountability required such finesse?

Not everyone is amused by the continual delays. Special Counsel David Weiss was among those opposed to Biden’s request, hinting that perhaps some swift justice might actually be warranted. But let’s be honest, when it comes to the politically elite, legal consequences often feel more like a leisurely stroll in the park than a sprint to the finish line. The notion that Hunter Biden can delay his sentences like one reschedules an appointment at the dentist is enough to make anyone question the integrity of the judicial system.
In addition to this recent delay, Biden has other legal woes looming on the horizon. He is set to receive a separate slap on the wrist for nine tax-related charges on December 16. This comes after he pleaded guilty earlier this month, successfully dodging a trial that could’ve dragged key witnesses—including ex-girlfriends—into the limelight. Nothing screams accountability like a guilty plea that skips an entire courtroom’s worth of testimony.
As Hunter continues to navigate his tangled web of legal troubles, many are left wondering if he’ll ever face the consequences that the average American would undoubtedly encounter in similar circumstances. But in the world of Biden family privilege, it appears that the only thing getting sentenced is Hunter’s calendar—likely to an extended vacation from real accountability.
