President Joe Biden’s son Hunter will plead guilty to federal tax offenses but avoid prosecution on a separate gun charge in a deal with the Justice Department that likely spares him time behind bars.

Hunter Biden, 53, will plead guilty to the misdemeanor tax offenses as part of an agreement made public Tuesday. The agreement will also avoid prosecution on a felony charge of illegally possessing a firearm as a drug user, as long as he adheres to conditions set by prosecutors. It’s somewhat unusual to resolve a federal criminal case at the same time charges are filed in court but not unheard of.

The deal ends a long-running Justice Department investigation into Biden’s second son, who has acknowledged struggling with addiction following the 2015 death of his brother Beau Biden. It also averts a trial that would have generated days or weeks of distracting headlines for a White House that has strenuously sought to keep its distance from the Justice Department.

While it requires the younger Biden to admit guilt, the deal is narrowly focused on tax and weapons violations rather than anything broader or tied to the Democratic president. Nonetheless, former President Donald Trump and other Republicans continued to try to use the case to shine an unflattering spotlight on Joe Biden and to raise questions about the independence of the Biden Justice Department.

I wonder what the common sentence is for lying on a 4473.  Like if it's common to get probation, then it's all G.  But the DOJ still showed their favoratism cause if this were Trump, he would be arrested.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/hunter-biden-charged-failing-pay-133201200.html

He is to plead guilty to failing to pay more than $100,0000 in taxes on over $1.5 million in income in both 2017 and 2018, charges that carry a maximum possible penalty of a year in prison.

President Joe Biden had choice words in yesterday’s State of the Union speech about the U.S. tax system: “It is not fair.”

So Kodak Black a rapper was in jail for 3 years for similar lying on 4473. But his is a little different as Hunters was for 1 gun. Kodaks was for 4 of them.

But this also shows that NICS doesn't work well if he can buy multiple guns and pass the check at that time.  Only later to be found he lied.
