Son with a drug habit, an expensive hooker habit, dated his brother's widow, impregnated a stripper... I am sure the press would have been sympathetic and not seen any connection whatsoever with the father's administration. Can you please share with us what position in the government Hunter Biden has occupied that would make this relevant? And maybe you should actually start looking at the media instead of imagining what they say. Seems to me there's an awful lot of stories out there about Hunter Biden. Most of them not exactly favorable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trump DOJ and attorney general had four years to convene a grand jury and show them their evidence re hunter biden and ask the grand jury to indict....they did not do it because they knew that their "evidence" would not be concrete enough to indict and they would look like the fools that they are if no indictment was returned.. .how loud and how long have republs been screaming to lock hillary up? REALLY if you had all that evidence then why did you not go for an indictment during 2016 to 2020 when trump had his lapdogs serving as attorney general? Could it be that repubs love a good witch hunt against hillary and hunter but don't much like having to provide real evidence for an indictment?...you know like has been happening to trump....he is not indicted unless a referral with real evidence is sent to a grand jury and the grand jury....not a bunch of hot air republicans, decide if the evidence is compelling enough for a crime to be charged.....with trump the alleged crimes (often verified by trumps own words from his big mouth) are reviewed carefully not with Lock him up chants by a brain dead cheering crowd but only by evidence reviewed by a grand jury. a fifth grader can understand that allegations without a lot of real hard core evidence means NOTHING. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SunnyinBangrak Posted May 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2023 8 hours ago, TallGuyJohninBKK said: By similar situation, you mean things like: --currently being in the midst of a civil trial that involves him allegedly raping a woman. --previously having boasted about liking to grab women by their ********* --having had alleged extramarital trysts with a porn/star-stripper, and also with an ex-Playmate, and then making hush money payments to both to keep them quiet about all that prior to the presidential election. --And of course, there's all that nasty stuff about election lies and attempted insurrection.... It's a long and illustrious list. "In addition to former President Donald Trump’s alleged role in the $130,000 hush payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News the Manhattan District Attorney’s office is also investigating a $150,000 payment to Playboy model Karen McDougal, who, like Daniels, claimed to have had an affair with Trump." https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/da-hush-money-payment-playboy-model-karen-mcdougal/story?id=98245449 Hunter Biden's life certainly hasn't been one of a Boy Scout... But Trump is right there with him, in any any number of ways. And at least Hunter was never a federal employee or elected official, unlike Trump. Irrelevant and inflammatory. Trying to equate President Trump to Hunter Biden is clearly bizarre. Worth reminding ourselves that a case involving a adult man having consensual sexual relations with a stripper he supposedly gave a few bucks to keep quiet using uncharted legal wizardry is not equivalent to a senior elected politician engaging in corruption with America's adversaries and the mega coverup/disinfo campaign by alphabet agencies and dishonest media/tech staff required to falsely allege the evidence of this corruption was "Russian disinformation". 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything was directly from the Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms, federal government website. This, " Applicants who knowingly make false statements may also face criminal prosecution for a felony and up to 10 years in federal prison." statement is not mine, it is the ATF's statement!

You made the claim that I mischaracterized something. Did I say that someone would be sentenced to 10 years for falsifying a 4473? Is that your claim? Yes, there is potential for a 10 year sentence. But that is up to the desecration of the presiding court. If the presiding court says, time served, then that is compliant with the law. I would say that you are the one that is beating the poor dead horse. Again, I did a copy and paste. I mischaracterized nothing! As I quoted in my last post, the ATF states, "may also face", and emphazied that "It does not say, "shall face"." Having been a Federal Agent that enforced federal law, I understand the difference. From the cornell edu website: "The word “may” is an expression of possibility, a permissive choice to act or not, and ordinarily implies some degree of discretion. This contrasts with the word “shall,” which is generally used to indicate a mandatory provision" 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
