Hunter Biden verdict shatters family’s myth of legal invincibility, endangering Joe
NY Post
President Biden’s re-election campaign was hit by a torpedo Tuesday when a Delaware jury convicted his son Hunter on three felony charges.
Ironically, the political fate of the most anti-gun president in American history could be settled by the firearms convictions of his son.
Individuals purchasing a firearm must sign a federal form attesting they are not a user of an unlawful drug. Hunter was convicted on two counts of lying on this form, and also of possessing the pistol for 11 days while using illegal drugs.
Three years ago, when his memoir “Beautiful Things” was published, Hunter received endless media applause for his victory laps as a recovering addict.
His lawyers effectively sought to expunge that memoir and almost all of Hunter’s prior statements. They claimed he was not a user of illicit drugs at the time he bought that .38 Special.
Since Hunter didn’t pause in the door of the gun shop to fire up his crack pipe, jurors were supposed to presume he was as clean as a hound’s tooth.
