Just weeks after former President Donald Trump predicted Hunter Biden would be charged “with something small,” the president’s son is set to plead guilty to two federal tax violations charges and a violation of gun laws.
In an email posted on Twitter in June, President Trump wrote: “They’ll hit Hunter with something small to make their strike on me look ‘fair.’ Nothing about these Fascists is fair or honest. FIGHT!”
It appears President Trump’s prediction has come true. On Tuesday, news broke Hunter Biden will plead guilty to two tax misdemeanors and one violation of gun laws related to illegal possession of a firearm as a drug user.
As part of the plea deal, Hunter Biden will not face jail time.
The Biden Justice Department reached a sweetheart deal with Hunter Biden.
Hunter will get no jail time for being the bagman for Joe Biden’s vast foreign corruption.
The Biden Justice Department will continue to bury evidence the President of the United States is compromised.

It is unclear how this plea will affect the congressional Republicans’ investigations into nearly every aspect of Hunter Biden’s business dealings, such as foreign payments and other aspects of his finances.
Hunter Biden is said to be relieved by the plea deal, noting that it ends a long–running Justice Department investigation into his second son and averts a trial that would generate days or weeks of distracting headlines for a White House that has sought to keep its distance from the Justice Department.
The plea agreement comes days after a 37–count indictment against former President Donald Trump for mishandling classified documents on his Florida estate.
It is yet to be seen how this agreement between Hunter Biden and the Justice Department will impact President Trump’s current and future legal battles. It also adds a new twist to the ongoing and highly–publicized political wrangling between President Trump and President–Elect Joe Biden.
While some are viewing the plea deal as relieving news for Hunter Biden, others are pointing out that this could also be an attempt by the Biden Administration to quell the rage of Republican critics and sympathizers of President Trump.
The agreement and its potential implications for Biden’s political opponents will undoubtedly be further dissected over the coming weeks. Regardless, one thing is certain: for the Biden family, this agreement with the Justice Department is a major victory.
DOJ is violating its own internal policies on this case. The Ashcroft Memo requires they charge the “highest provable offense” and seek consistent sentences with other cases brought by DOJ. This prosecution is an absolute laughable joke. Thousands have been sent to prison for… https://t.co/Bi6iaRiDVD
