Hunter Biden could potentially receive a long prison term and hefty fine if found guilty, as indicated by the indictment.
Indictment Reveals Hunter Biden’s Potential Fate: Lengthy Prison Sentence and Massive Fine
President Joe Biden’s son may go from roaming the halls of the White House to residing behind bars if he is found guilty on all charges and receives the maximum punishment for each offense.
The indictment against Hunter Biden, unveiled on Thursday, accuses him of three crimes. It alleges that Hunter Biden knowingly provided false information on a gun purchase form by denying the use of illegal drugs at the time.
If convicted of making a false statement in the purchase of a firearm, Hunter Biden could face up to 10 years in prison, a $250,000 fine, three years of supervised release, and an additional $100 special assessment.
For the charge of making a false statement related to information required by a federal firearms licensed dealer, Hunter Biden could potentially be sentenced to five years in prison, a $250,000 fine, three years of supervised release, and the $100 assessment.
In the case of possessing a firearm while being an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance, the maximum penalty is 10 years in prison, a $250,000 fine, three years of supervised release, and the $100 assessment. Overall, if convicted on all charges, Hunter Biden could face 25 years in prison and over $750,000 in fines.
Hunter Biden’s lawyer, Abbe Lowell, claims that the charges are politically motivated, as reported by NBC.
“Prosecutors have filed charges today that they previously deemed unwarranted just six weeks ago, following a five-year investigation into this case,” Lowell stated.
“While the evidence remains unchanged, the law and the improper partisan interference from MAGA Republicans have shifted. Hunter Biden possessing an unloaded gun for 11 days did not pose a threat to public safety. However, a prosecutor succumbing to political pressure presents a grave threat to our justice system,” Lowell argued.
“We believe these charges are prohibited by the agreement prosecutors made with Mr. Biden, recent rulings by federal courts declaring the statute unconstitutional, and the fact that he did not violate the law. We intend to demonstrate all of this in court,” he added.
Some Republicans, however, expressed skepticism about the charges brought by U.S. Attorney David Weiss, who had previously negotiated a plea deal that fell apart in July when a judge rejected it.
Republican Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa voiced his concerns about Weiss “taking this across the finish line” in a social media post.
Hunter Biden indictments r starting point 4 justice Now what abt FARA money laundering& bribery? Where’s the follow up on 1023? All facts need 2 be pursued Remember Weiss negotiated initial sweetheart deal so I’ve got real concerns about him taking this across the finish line

Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia questioned the absence of indictments for tax fraud, FARA abuse, money laundering, and sex trafficking in a social media post. Meanwhile, House Oversight Committee chair James Comer referred to the indictment as “a very small start” in his post.
STATEMENT
Today’s charges against Hunter Biden are a very small start, but unless U.S. Attorney Weiss investigates everyone involved in the fraud schemes and influence peddling, it will be clear President Biden’s DOJ is protecting Hunter Biden and the big guy.

“Today’s indictment of Hunter Biden is a smokescreen. Don’t fall for it,” stated Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy in his post on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.
“This is a fig leaf designed to deflect attention away from the real problem: the Biden family is selling out U.S. foreign policy for their own family’s private financial gain. That’s really what’s wrong, and we must hold politicians in both major political parties accountable when they use our foreign policy to enrich their family members,” he wrote.

Warning against falling for the diversion tactic, Ramaswamy added, “It’s also no accident that today’s indictment comes at a moment when President Biden’s own popularity within the Democratic Party is plummeting.
“I predict this is the first step for the Democrat Party managerial class to pressure Joe Biden out of the race. Biden will become a sacrificial pawn in service to the deep state that wants to retain power at any cost,” he concluded.
