@George-K
I do care that he lied on his firearm application. What I meant is that there are probably 100's (1000's) of people that do also, maybe even people in your hometown.. I do care that it happens and am sad that it happens, but if (and I know it is a big IF) it was done by himself and involved only him, then no, then I will let the authorities do their job.
@LuFins-Dad I agree with everything you said.
I agree that if there was a coverup, if President Biden was involved, either directly or indirectly, there should be consequences.
If the son did this, and President Biden had no knowledge or influence on this, it should be handled like the other 100's of people that do this. Though this means that if others assisted him, or covered up for him, they should be punished.
I guess my point was that simply because he is the son of the president, it does not mean that President Biden is guilty also. No "guilt by association" should not happen.
When there was a "scandal" about President Trump's companies hiring and using illegal aliens to work for them, I said at that time that it does not make President Trump guilty of anything.
Lying on a 4473 usually doesn't get you prosecuted on that alone. What usually happens, is that if another crime is committed (domestic violence, armed robbery, etc.) they'll tack that Federal charge on for the cherry on top. That's a maximum of ten years in Federal prison.
Did Hunter commit any other crimes? You betchya, even if it's nothing but hiring hookers and buying blow. If he wasn't the son of the Resident, a good DA would have him dead in the water.
So, we can start from the point that he's guilty, it's just how many things he's guilty of. The influence peddling would be the big one. That one needs to be shook out. If that was Trump's son, there would have already been a Special Counsel.
