IF he gets off would this be case law that others can use in court to get off the same charges?

There’s a very long way to go before he ever actually goes to prison, and the probability of that is zero. All along the way you can believe the justice department will be pulling the strings. If it makes it past motions and pleas, and goes to trial, there’s the selection of just the right jurors, and even which prosecutor will handle the case, along with which judge. Wouldn’t it be incredible, and prevent any further trials or charges, if a jury of his “peers” were to magically find him not guilty of all charges? Complete exoneration. What a victory for the Bidens that would be. My money is on this. I’m sure there are any number of assistant prosecuting attorneys ready to line up and throw the trial for the Big Guy and the benefits that will follow.

There are a lot of ifs! I agree with others that he would likely be pardoned, unlike the rest of us. There is also the issue in the 5th Circuit finding that portion of the law is unconstitutional. If convicted, it will be appealed and my money is on the AG not fighting the appeal.
The only way this helps the rest of us is him getting convicted and an appeal that actually passes scrutiny.

I wonder how much more $$ will be spent and wasted on this sleazoid, while his defense lawyers twist and contort the lawa to his benefit. Kudos to the judge who lambasted the sweetheart deal they tried as a scam.

I think what we see, is an individual on a crime spree. The new charges will pile up faster than they can dismiss or sweep older ones under the rug.
BTW, what happened to the daughter’s diary? They are not talking about it on CNN for some reason LOL

While the 5th circuit found that portion of the law unconstitutional, the 10th circuit holds a differing opinion, so this should go all the way to the SCOTUS for a decision.

It will probably make it to SCOTUS some day but it will likely be years from now.

drugs’ or Dr. issued prescriptions or both ???

There are 5 levels of drugs that fall under the federal “Controlled Substance Act.” The first level list drugs determined to have to NO medicinal value and are per se illegal. These include Marijuana, ecstasy, heroin, LSD, and peyote. Users of any of these are considered prohibited persons under federal law. Any other controlled substance taken as directed with a prescription, if required, would not make a person a prohibited person. If taken without an Rx, does make you a prohibited person.

Hunter’s charges are like a fatal hit and run driver being charged with illegal lane usage.
