I had an argument, many years back, with my libertarian sparring partner about celebrities being prosecuted for violations of what we consider unjust laws.
“If the Left wanted to "put up" in its endless efforts to quash our gun rights, its loudest voices should demand the book be thrown at Biden. That they remain mostly mute on this tells us, once again, that partisanship trumps principle.”
If you or I were standing in the dock for this, we'd be looking at a simple conviction followed by jail time, without question. The law is clear and the facts are clear. The same goes for his flagrant tax evasion and failure to register as a foreign agent. The "gun charge" does not stand in isolation - it's related to everything else.
On the pity issue, Hunter is undeserving of pity stemming from his drug addiction, because that drug addiction was fueled/enabled/paid for by the wealth he withheld from the US Treasury which was "earned" surreptitiously serving foreign interests who used him as a go-between to secure favors (and intel) from his father. Sorry, but no, Hunter isn't a common drug addict by any stretch. This is like the kid who kills his parents, then throws himself on the mercy of the court "because he's an orphan".
So let's be clear: the real purpose of prosecuting Hunter is to get him to roll on Pops - the biggest fish. President Biden is now in the inconvenient position of having to defend Hunter - lest Hunter cop a plea and start ratting out the whole fam-damily. A lot of heads in that family are counting on Hunter keeping his mouth shut. And while the president's loyal administrators were aggressive in trying to sweep the whole sordid mess under the rug, Judge Maryellen Noreika called foul just as the whole thing was about to be "disappeared" forever.
Ultimately I don't know what happens to the Biden crime syndicate (I'm assuming the gravy train is stalled out for now) but in the meantime, the schadenfreude is delightful.
Another bit I didn't get into, the multiple instances where New Jersey threw felony charges at out-of-staters with carry permits in their home states who crossed into NJ with a gun. Yes, they broke NJ law, but committed no other crime.
"The latest, and it's worth an aside, is that Trump received piles of foreign money while President..." Oh the irony! Though Biden has probably put his commissions on hold since he took up residence on Pennsylvania Ave., this is more of the "he did what we did, but we're going after him so you don't look at what we did."

You, or I, or any other red blooded American would have been in jail on felony perjury charges regarding a firearm transfer/purchase long ago.
