    The question you probably don’t see pondered that much is whether he’d even have been indicted if his name were Hunter Smith. This almost never gets charged, and when it does there’s usually another crime involved.

    Some legal analyst said they could find no other cases where a first offender was charged for this with only one gun and no other crimes involved.

      I have heard some say politics entered into this conviction.

      But I'm sure we will all feel a little safer with Hunter in a cage.

        I'm sure a creative Manhattan DA could have found another crime to link it to.

          If he wasn't Hunter Biden, he'd be on the hook for a heckuva lot worse charges than a simple lying in a federal 4473.

            He has tax charges too.

            What else are you suggesting?

                The part about being a spy could get tricky

                But his team shredded the plea agreement in a Delaware federal court the following month after prosecutor Leo Wise mentioned that the deal’s terms did not include immunity from future charges — including potential violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).

                      There was a lawyer in LA paying them but he recently said he’s ’tapped out’.

                      I heard an analyst estimate his legal fees ay present are probably around 100k-150k per day.

                          Different case, but

                          https://www.wsj.com/us-news/hunter-biden-offers-plea-to-resolve-federal-tax-case-67d9cec2?mod=credit_whatsnews_pos1

                          Hunter Biden pleaded guilty to federal tax charges Thursday, heading off a trial that was expected to further shine an unflattering light on his past business dealings and freewheeling lifestyle.
                          Biden’s surprise plea capped a whirlwind morning in Los Angeles federal court, where jury selection was set to begin for Biden’s tax trial.

                          At the outset of Thursday’s court proceedings, Biden’s lawyer proposed an unusual deal where President Biden’s son would maintain his innocence while conceding that the evidence was sufficient for a guilty verdict.

                          Prosecutors said they were shocked by the proposal of a so-called Alford deal and wouldn’t support any plea without an admission of guilt. “Hunter Biden is not innocent. Hunter Biden is guilty,” prosecutor Leo Wise told U.S. District Judge Mark Scarsi, a Trump appointee presiding over the case.

                          Later Thursday, a lawyer for Biden came back from a break and told Scarsi his client would abandon the Alford plea and plead guilty without any negotiated deal with prosecutors working under special counsel David Weiss.

                            Gotta get lined out for his pardon. Guess Hunter checked Nate Silver's prediction.

                                  Joe will pardon him after the election. No question. At which point we will officially be a banana republic.

                                      He keeps doubling down on ‘no pardon’. Maybe he’ll commute any sentences instead and rather weakly claim he kept his word.

                                          So, now we can call Hunter Biden not only a "Convicted felon," but also a "Self-admitted felon."
