The son of Mass Mailer President Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, has been convicted by a Wilmington, DE jury of three felony offenses related to a purchase of a revolver in October 2018 where he claimed in the background check he had not been under the influence of illegal drugs.
Biden faces up to 25 years in jail, which is considerably less than he would face if he were charged with some of the crimes many suspect he took when he appears to have been the frontman of a family operation selling American interest to her foreign enemies for millions of dollars. The verdict comes only after the presiding Judge, District Court Judge Maryellen Noreika, cancelled the original plea deal Special Investigator David Weiss had struck with Hunter.

A Delaware jury convicted Hunter Biden on three felony gun charges Tuesday.
Special counsel David Weiss charged Hunter Biden in September on three counts relating to his purchase of a Colt Cobra revolver in October 2018, alleging he knowingly possessed the gun while addicted to drugs and made false statements on the purchase form. The jury found him guilty on all counts.
Hunter Biden was indicted on separate tax charges in December.
Last July, a deal that would have had Hunter Biden plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges and enter a diversion agreement for a felony gun charge fell apart under questioning by District Court Judge Maryellen Noreika, who voiced concerns about an immunity provision included in the diversion agreement. The diversion agreement stated Hunter Biden would not be criminally prosecuted for any crimes encompassed by the statement of facts in his plea deal, which listed the millions of dollars he received through foreign business dealings in China, Ukraine and Romania.
The payments, along with President Joe Biden’s involvement in his son’s business dealings, have been the subject of investigations by the House Oversight Committee.
Prosecutor Leo Wise admitted to Noreika at the time that he was not aware of precedent for an agreement not to prosecute crimes “that have nothing to do with the case or the charges being diverted.”
