Why do I say this is a ploy? Well, there are a bunch of reasons why I say this is a ploy. He is not going to jail for a significant period of time. This prosecution is not over the actual charges that anyone cares about, namely the tax charges and the Foreign Agents' registration act charges that have not yet been brought. The clock is ticking on those. This is a distraction. It was always a distraction. The gun charge was basically a way for them to smuggle in. We're going to end the rest of all these investigations in the gun charge. That doesn't mean he doesn't deserve the gun charge. He clearly deserves the gun charge. It's not just that he lied on a gun form. It's that he lied on a gun form and then attained the gun. He actually got the gun. And then he had the gun and he threw it in the garbage can. It's going to be awkward for the Biden administration because now Hunter Biden and his lawyers are going to argue that it violates the Second Amendment for him to be prosecuted under these terms.

Meanwhile, his dad is out there saying that, no, we should have a guy. I should have a cavalabust with the deer and the

gas. So that's kind of awkward for Joe Biden. But is this a key issue in terms of Hunter and Joe?

Of course not. We currently have an impeachment inquiry going on that is entirely predicated upon

the corrupt relationship between Hunter Biden and Joe Biden. And Joe Biden's response to this,

and his DOJ's response to this, presumably is we will prosecute Hunter Biden on some ancillary

charge, he'll get off with a relative slap on the rest. And then you all just go about your business. There's nothing else to see here. That's, that is the ploy. According to NBC News, federal prosecutors have indicted Hunter Biden, the son of President Biden on gun charges. Court documents show. Biden was indicted Thursday in federal court in Delaware on three counts tied to possession of a gun while using narcotics.

Two counts accused Biden of having completed a form indicating he was not using illegal drugs when he bought a Colt,

Cobra Revolver in October 2018. The third count of legistee possessed a firearm while using a narcotic. The indictment says that Biden certified on a federally mandated form, quote, he was not an unlawful user of and addicted to any stimulant narcotic drug and any other controlled substance when, in fact, as he knew, that statement was false and fictitious. Two of the counts carry maximum prison sentences of 10 years. A third has a maximum sentence of five years. Each count also carries a maximum fine of $250,000, given the fact that Hunter Biden has not spent a day in jail yet, and he's never pled guilty to a crime so far as I'm aware, this means he's probably, again, not going to go to jail for any significant period of time.

That case is being overseen by special counsel David Weiss, but as Andy McCarthy points out,

this, again, is kind of a scam prosecution. Why? Well, there are a few reasons. One, this particular case is happening in

Delaware, as Andy McCarthy points out. Well, as you recall, the entire scandal revolving around David

Weiss is that he was not granted access to prosecute Hunter Biden in any jurisdiction outside of

Delaware. He always had the jurisdiction to prosecute Hunter Biden inside of Delaware.

So what took him so long?

The answer is who's trying to cut a sweetheart deal with Hunter Biden via Joe Biden.

And this also doesn't actually rebut any of the charges that David Weiss was denied the ability to prosecute Hunter Biden outside of Delaware because, again, he is currently

prosecuting him inside of Delaware.
