Special Counsel Seeking Indictment for Hunter Biden
Special Counsel David Weiss, handpicked by Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate Hunter Biden, announced that President Biden’s son will soon be indicted on a felony gun charge. This comes on the heels of Hunter’s sweetheart plea deal falling apart after Judge Maryellen Noreika chose not to accept the novel deal’s terms.
Hunter Biden is expected to be indicted on a federal gun charge by the end of September, Special Counsel David Weiss’ team told U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika on Wednesday.
Noreika had set Wednesday as a deadline to hear from both sides about how to move forward on the diversion agreement that would have allowed Hunter Biden to avoid jail time for a felony charge of lying on a federal form when purchasing a firearm in 2018.
The expected charges come after an original plea agreement collapsed in July. Hunter Biden was expected to plead guilty in July to two misdemeanor tax counts of willful failure to pay federal income tax as part of a plea deal to avoid jail time on a felony gun charge.
But will Weiss truly pursue an indictment against Hunter? Or will the Deep State DOJ continue stalling as before?
But let’s talk about how David Weiss made his big announcement. He announced that he will seek a grand jury and then expect a return of an indictment. This is a very odd way for a prosecutor to proceed.
It’s not a prosecutor’s job to determine whether an indictment will occur – that responsibility lies with the grand jury. The prosecutor doesn’t control the grand jury. Does Weiss have any idea what he’s doing?
As I already referenced, where was Weiss five years ago when the original felony gun charge occurred? A gun charge should be an open-and-shut case for a prosecutor. Instead, Weiss dragged his feet and allowed the statute of limitations to expire. Clearly, the DOJ has no real desire to prosecute Hunter Biden for the crimes he’s allegedly committed.
At the same time, the DOJ has gone all out in prosecuting former President Donald Trump for alleged crimes based on novel interpretations of the law. There’s not been any stalling by Special Counsel Jack Smith or others. The Deep State hypocrisy is stunning.
Also, we announced yesterday that we are hearing rumblings of the Left’s possible attempt to use the 14th Amendment to argue Trump should be “disqualified” from the 2024 presidential election. The Left is arguing that since they believe Trump is guilty of insurrection, states have the right to take Trump off their ballots.
And where was the official legal charge for insurrection? Or the conviction on an actual insurrection charge? Think about the dangerous path our country could go down where political parties declare people they don’t like to be enemies of the state and ineligible to run for office.
Right after the broadcast, the ACLJ legal team got to work to prevent this blatant election interference. We will send a legal letter to all 50 state Secretaries of State, putting them on notice that such an abuse of the 14th Amendment is unconstitutional.
Take action with us by signing our brand-new petition to stop this unconstitutional “disqualification” plot. We want to be able to represent at least 100,000 Americans from all 50 states.
Senator Marsha Blackburn (TN) also joined the broadcast to discuss the dangers of the southern border due to Biden’s failed border policies.
[The] southern border is a national security issue. It is where our foreign policy and our domestic policy meet. I want our communities to be safe. . . . I want parents to know [about] the flow of fentanyl in this country that is wreaking havoc on families – that is taking precious lives. I want them to know that something is going to be done about it. . . . I had one of our sheriffs in Tennessee tell me that now they just assume all the drugs they apprehend are laced with fentanyl, whether it's gummy bears or it is marijuana or it is press pills. They assume that there is fentanyl in every bit of it. And as we know, four tiny pieces – the size of a grain of sand – will kill you.
We must find a way to secure the border and prevent the influx of illegal drugs, human trafficking, and terrorists. We can’t allow every town in America to become a border town. The insanity must stop.
Today’s Sekulow also featured a special ACLJ announcement of our big free speech victory for a parents group in Massachusetts. Our lawyers are working across the country to protect free speech for parents everywhere.
