Should i believe Blazemedia before the BBC?
Trump and his fans seem really unclear on laws in general and that their complexitites that can make large differences in charges. Perhaps if they paid a tad more notice of the details they wouldn’t end up afoul of it so often.
Hunter Biden's gun charge isn’t the same as those previously faced by Lil Wayne, Kodak Black
CLAIM: Hunter Biden is pleading guilty to the same gun charge as Lil Wayne and Kodak Black, but the two rappers faced prison sentences while the president’s son does not .
apnews.com
Federal prosecutors announced Tuesday that Biden had agreed to plead guilty to two misdemeanor counts of failing to pay federal income taxes. As part of the plea deal, the 53-year-old also agreed to complete a pretrial drug counseling program in exchange for prosecutors dropping a felony charge of illegally possessing a firearm as a drug user.
Meanwhile Lil Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Michael Carter, pleaded guilty in 2020 to a federal charge that he unlawfully possessed a weapon despite being a convicted felon. The 38-year-old rapper admitted to possessing a .45 caliber, gold-plated handgun found in his luggage in 2019.
And Kodak Black, whose legal name is Bill Kapri, was sentenced to three years in prison for falsifying documents used to purchase weapons at a Miami gun store in 2019.
Former President Donald Trump granted Carter a full pardon just days before he was to be sentenced, and commuted Kapri’s sentence as part of a flurry of clemencies shortly before leaving office in January 2021.“It’s really not a fair comparison, since plea deals turn on way more than the actual charge,” Bennett Capers, a former federal prosecutor who now heads the Center on Race, Law, and Justice at Fordham Law, wrote in an email. “A federal prosecutor looks at a person’s prior arrests, a person’s prior convictions, and also looks at what else the defendant can be charged with.”
Capers and other experts noted that Carter had already been sentenced to eight months in prison more than a decade prior for another felony gun charge. Convicted felons are barred under federal law from possessing firearms.
And Kapri’s lengthy rap sheet at the time of his 2019 arrest included a variety of felonies, including a one-year prison sentence in New York after being found with weapons and drugs at the U.S.-Canada border. His legal troubles haven’t abated, either: Kapri is currently awaiting trial on a charge of trafficking oxycodone.
Biden, on the other hand, is a first time offender. He was charged with possessing a handgun, a Colt Cobra .38 Special, for 11 days in October 2018 despite knowing he was a drug user. “The comparison with Kodak Black’s case in Florida is a red herring,” Cheryl Bader, a former federal prosecutor who now runs the Criminal Defense Clinic at Fordham Law, wrote in an email.
Capers agreed: “Comparing Hunter to someone with a different criminal history and the target of a different criminal investigation will always be on par with comparing apples to oranges.”
Jeffrey Kirchmeier, professor at the City University of New York School of Law, acknowledged all three were technically charged under the same federal statute -- 18 U.S.C. Sec. 922 --- dealing with various firearms violations.
The difference, he explained in an email, is the subsection of the law each was charged.Carter was charged under 18 U.S.C. Sec. 922(g)(1), while Hunter Biden was charged under 18 U.S.C. Sec. 922 (g)(3) and Kapri was charged under 18 U.S.C. Sec. 922 (a)(6).
Kirchmeier added that the three charges, while distinct, also carry the same maximum penalty, as do all violations under the federal firearms statute. But, like the other legal experts, he stressed the maximum penalty is just the highest punishment allowable under the law.“Other factors would go into the actual sentence and what a prosecutor would recommend, including prior convictions,” Kirchmeier wrote.

IRS Whistleblowers Release New Bombshell Evidence Against Bidens, DOJ And AG Garland
Several bombshells dropped by two IRS whistleblowers on Thursday reveal, among other things, that Joe Biden's DOJ buried evidence of Hunter Biden's tax crimes - and stopped US Attorney David Weiss from bringing charges against Hunter in two different jurisdictions last year.
According to Rep. Jason Smith (R-MO), Weiss sought to be appointed as a special counsel in the case last year but was denied as well.
What's more, the IRS sought felony charges against Hunter, send their recommendations to the Biden DOJ, and they 'came out as two misdemeanors,' Byron York tweets.
According to the whistleblowers, one of whom is Gary Shipley - who came forward weeks ago to reveal his identity, the IRS was notified of potential evidence "in the guest house of former Vice President Biden," but were rebuffed by US Attorney Lesley Wolf, who said there was "no way," as search warrant "would ever get approved."
"Whistleblowers describe how the Biden Justice Department intervened and overstepped in a campaign to protect the son of Joe Biden by delaying, divulging, and denying an ongoing investigation into Hunter Biden’s alleged tax crimes," said Smith in a statement. "The testimony shows tactics used by the Justice Department to delay the investigation long enough to reach the statute of limitations, evidence they divulged sensitive actions by the investigative team to Biden’s attorneys, and denied requests by the U.S. Attorney to bring charges against Biden."
During seven hours of testimony before the Ways and Means Committee, Shipley and the other whistleblower's testimony implicates both AG Merrick Garland and IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel for lying to Congress about political interference in the Biden probe.
With the rejection from the DC US Attorney, the team sought the approval to bring tax charges for years 2016-2019 in the Central District of California. Shapley concluded that “the Central District of California declined to allow charges to be brought there.”
The rejection to bring charges in DC and California stands in stark contrast to the testimony of Attorney General Garland, who in March of 2023 stated that US Attorney Weiss had the full authority to “bring cases in other jurisdictions.” Garland also said that he personally would ensure that Weiss could “carry out his investigation and that he [would] be able to run it.” Both those statements now appear to be false. (Your humble author thinks the Republicans knew Garland was making misrepresentations at the time.)
Preferential treatment of Hunter Biden might be an understatement. In reality, it was sabotage, the affirmative effort to decline investigative steps and deny prosecutors the ability to bring charges. The DOJ’s conduct included:
Prosecutors even wanted to remove Hunter Biden’s name from electronic search warrants and document requests, even though this could cause investigators to not get certain evidence.
Joe Biden was in the room
In another piece of evidence presented on Thursday, Hunter Biden can be seen in a message to Chinese business associate, Henry Zhao, demanding that they send money as promised.
"I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled," wrote Hunter via WhatsApp on July 30, 2017. "Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight."
Hunter then warned that "if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction. I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father."
And back to the embargo on the Hunter Biden laptop story...

That text message looks super duper real.
@Toffee_Loaf is quoting articles written by the Brad Pitt Character in Fight Club.
I now believe that Biden is a villian.
Nothing screams authenticity like a mock up of a reported WhatsApp message, in a visualisation using a different user interface.
