So What Changed Weiss' Mind?

2. Maybe it is/was a contemplated and controlled prosecution.

Please hear me out.

Consider this: In a way, this lances the boil of Hunter Biden and his alleged transgressions. Once the trial (or new plea deal) is over, it's over.

He's not going to get "the book" thrown at him and go to jail for 25 years. The facts show this case to be more de minimis* than a violation of the law. There are plenty of gun owners who haven't even registered their weapons according to the law and some of them are alcoholics, drug users, etc. They have no business possessing and/or owning guns. But there isn't enough jail space for them.

I know it sounds like a game of chicken, but I feel secure that a jury is going to look at the facts, look at the law, and acquit HB. Or he'll take another plea bargain complete with probation and a prohibition against owning other weapons, perhaps temporarily.

Yes, HB was indicted but that doesn't mean he's certain to be convicted. Trust his attorneys. Trust the jury system.


* De minimis means a technical breach of the law. Like when someone takes an orange from a buffet on the way out the door of a restaurant and is charged with theft. Or parking in a handicap space for 90 seconds.
