Seriously? You've been screeching to charge him. They may charge him. Some of us agree if they have evidence, charge him, yet you feel it is a deflection? Why? Because that is what you usually do?
No, it's because generally people believe if there's evidence of a crime, and you're found guilty of the crime, then that's what you get for committing the crime. I don't understand why anyone is supposed to have blind devotion to any public figure. He isn't even a politician.

So what crimes of Joe Biden are they trying to hide with this?
What does Trump have to do with Hunter Biden being charged with a gun and tax charges?

So what crimes of Joe Biden are they trying to hide with this?
President Joe Bidenâs Justice Department has reportedly delayed its âfinal decisionâ on whether Hunter Biden will be charged for alleged tax and gun-related violations.
Hunter, the son of President Joe Biden, may never be fully held accountable for âtax crimes and a false statement related to a gun he purchased,â people familiar with the matter told the Wall Street Journal this week.
Charges were expected to be brought by the end of the summer, but Joe Bidenâs Justice Department, the same department investigating former President Donald Trump, is reportedly wrestling with facts of the case related to Hunterâs drug addiction.

WASHINGTON â Attorney General Merrick Garland is the unnamed official whose sworn testimony before Congress is being challenged in a bombshell letter from an IRS whistleblowerâs attorney that also alleges a coverup in the Hunter Biden criminal investigation, The Post has learned.
Attorney Mark Lytle wrote Wednesday that the longtime IRS employee wants to provide information to congressional leaders to âcontradict sworn testimony to Congress by a senior political appointeeâ â Garland âand also to detail âpreferential treatmentâ in the criminal probe of the first son.
The whistleblower already made disclosures to the inspectors general of the Treasury and Justice departments.
However, due to a quirk of federal law, he needs congressional approval to more fully describe his allegations to his own lawyers, which he wants to do before testifying to lawmakers.
Garland has repeatedly claimed under oath that Delaware US Attorney David Weiss, a Trump administration holdover recommended in 2017 by the stateâs Democratic senators, is able to criminally charge Hunter Biden without the permission of other Justice Department leaders, despite Republicans challenging the factual accuracy of that claim.

Federal investigators believe they have compiled enough evidence to charge President Bidenâs son Hunter Biden with tax crimes and on allegations related to falsifying paperwork having to do with a gun purchase in 2018, according to a report by The Washington Post on Thursday that cited people familiar with the case.
Hunter Biden has reportedly been under federal investigation by prosecutors seeking more information about his business dealings abroad, particularly income he received from a Ukrainian natural gas company as well as his business dealings in China and Kazakhstan. The investigation became central to former President Trumpâs 2020 campaign.

It sounds like somebody at the Wilmington FBI field office believes they have enough evidence to indict Hunter Biden on tax and gun-possession crimes. It remains to be seen if this is just one agent's opinion or if the office has referred the case to prosecutor's office.
If it has been referred to the prosecutor's office, it will ultimately be his decision on whether or not to indict. If he does decide to go for an indictment it will be interesting to see if it comes before or after the midterm. The DOJ has a standing policy not to make any arrests 60 days before an election if the arrest could impact the election. Now, Hunter is not running for office and he is not a politician but he is the son of the President. AG Garland has said he is leaving the decision in the hands of the prosecutor.
If there's enough evidence to charge him, I say go right ahead. However, if the evidence is lacking, I won't be surprised if the Wilmington field office sees some restructuring.
