Originally, the legal system, leftist-influenced as it was, didn't pursue charges against Joe Biden's son, despite all the serious evidence against him. Now, however, it looks like Biden Jr. is facing a legal prosecution for one of his crimes:

Federal prosecutors have indicted Hunter Biden on gun charges, according to court documents.

Special counsel David Weiss filed charges against President Joe Biden’s son after the two sides failed to reach an agreement on a plea deal that fell apart last month. The agreement fell apart after U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika questioned the limits of Hunter’s immunity under the deal.

The indictment charges the president’s son with three crimes related to false statements made on a federal application to purchase a firearm. The charges relate to a time when, in October 2018, Hunter claimed he was clean of drugs to purchase a handgun. He later wrote in his memoir that he was addicted to crack cocaine at the time.

Two of the counts carry max sentences of 10 years in prison, while the third carries a max sentence of 5 years, according to NBC News. The stiff sentences are a sharp contrast to the agreement worked out under the failed plea deal. The plea agreement would have freed Hunter from jail time and instead put him in a diversion program that, if completed successfully, would have wiped the gun charges from his record.

It's disgraceful, as some commentators have noted, that plea bargains would even be considered in cases like these. Thankfully for now, Biden Jr. is facing the justice he should be. But who knows if he'll actually get a proper jail sentence for any of his most serious criminal offenses? That's what's unclear, sadly.
