Trump-Stacked Supreme Court May Have Already Exonerated Hunter Biden

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The special counsel investigating Hunter Biden plans to indict the first son on a gun charge. The only problem is that the conservative Supreme Court may have already overturned the law Biden allegedly violated.

Biden had initially agreed to a deal in which he would have pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor charges of tax evasion and participated in a pretrial program for a gun offense, allowing him to avoid jail time. When that deal fell apart in July, the Justice Department appointed David Weiss as a special counsel to investigate Biden further.

Weiss announced his plan Wednesday to indict Biden on just the gun charge by the end of the month. The charge is over Biden answering “no” on a federal form he filled out while buying a handgun when asked if he was an “unlawful user” of drugs. Biden has struggled with crack cocaine addiction and was having trouble staying sober at the time.

Except Weiss may not actually be able to bring the charge. Last year, the Supreme Court significantly loosened gun control laws when the conservative majority ruled that Americans have a general right to arm themselves in public. Biden’s lawyers have already argued that the ruling makes trying to prosecute the first son on gun charges pointless.

5. When I heard the news today about this I remembered the past ruling from the gun Loving SC

Not being a legalize knowing person, I am delighted this ruling could backfire on them!

6. An unlawful user of drugs?

Did he commit crimes to get money for his habit? No. I would say he is a lawful user of illegal drugs.

7. In August, the Fifth Circuit found the statute

prohibiting drug users from possessing firearms unconstitutional. There was speculation at the time that the Fifth Circuit case cast some doubt on weapons charge against Hunter Biden.
