Hunter Biden Indicted on Federal Firearms Charges – But Don’t Expect FARA Charges
Three days ago, the DOJ filed a motion in court to quietly drop the charges against former partner of Michael Flynn, Bijan Rafiekian {DOJ pdf Link}. The initial case was created by the Muller team (Weissman) and encompassed the issue of violations to the Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA). After one failed attempt at prosecution, the Mueller team turned the case over to the DOJ who were going to refile the charges. {Backstory Here} Instead, as noted, the DOJ recently dropped the case.
Why does this matter?
Hunter Biden worked as a foreign agent for Ukraine and Chinese interests. Hunter Biden never registered under U.S. laws which require foreign agent registration to represent the interests of a foreign government or entity. This is the same accusation that loomed over Bijan Rafiekian. The DOJ dropped the case against Rafiekian, because they will not be charging Hunter Biden for FARA violations. The DOJ does not want you to notice the timing.
Today, a federal grand jury indicted Hunter Biden for federal firearm violations. [4-page pdf HERE] This will be the extent of the criminal charges filed against Hunter Biden. Everything else will be swept under the rug. Biden will receive a soft sentence.
The larger DC narrative will now shift to Second Amendment issues, and the defense will argue the Second Amendment doesn’t disqualify drug users. This will put the discussion on a host of 2nd amendment topics, which the Biden administration will then seek to use as they advance the 2024 election narrative and simultaneously require more rules, laws, restrictions, and legislation about firearms.
Washington DC – President Joe Biden’s son is under indictment.
On Thursday, a Delaware grand jury indicted Hunter Biden on three gun-related charges, including illegally owning a firearm as a drug user and lying on a form when he allegedly bought the gun.
Thursday’s move is a major escalation in the Justice Department’s probe of Hunter Biden, heightening both his legal jeopardy and his father’s political peril. The courtroom fight will play out in tandem with a Republican impeachment inquiry into the president that is scrutinizing his son’s business dealings.
The indictment notes that when buying guns, people must fill out a form saying — among other things — that they do not use illegal drugs. In October 2018, the indictment continues, Biden bought a gun despite being a drug user. It says he owned a Colt Cobra revolver for about 11 days — from “on or about” Oct. 12, 2018, until “on or about” Oct. 23, 2018.
If convicted, Biden could face up to 25 years in prison and hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines. However, sentences are often issued below the maximum length allowed, and some defendants don’t face jail time at all.

The tax violations will be handled as an agreement with the IRS. The FARA violations will never surface. The Biden corruption ‘pay-to-play’ scheme will not be prosecuted by the DOJ and will be left to the game of pretending in congress (impeachment). Hunter will receive probation.
We accept the DC corruption as it is, not as we would wish it to be.
Joe Biden will not be the Democrat nominee in 2024.
