    Alright, we're finally getting down to the bottom line. After all
    that wailing and whinging Biden haters will be very disappointed. For
    the rest of us? This result was so obvious that even I could and did
    predict this one.

    "Federal agents see chargeable tax, gun-purchase case against Hunter Biden

    Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, a Trump appointee, must decide
    whether to charge the son of the current president

    Federal agents investigating President Biden’s son Hunter have gathered
    what they believe is sufficient evidence to charge him with tax crimes
    and a false statement related to a gun purchase, according to people
    familiar with the case. The next step is for the U.S. Attorney in
    Delaware, a Trump administration holdover, to decide on whether to file
    such charges, these people said.

    The investigation into Hunter Biden began in 2018, and became a central
    focus for then-president Donald Trump during his unsuccessful 2020
    reelection effort. Initially, the investigation centered around Hunter Biden’s finances related to overseas business ties and consulting work.
    Over time, investigators with multiple agencies focused closely on
    whether he did not report all of his income, and whether he lied on gun purchase paperwork in 2018, according to the people familiar with the situation, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing
    case.

    Agents determined months ago they had assembled a viable criminal case
    against the younger Biden. But it is ultimately up to prosecutors at the Justice Department, not agents, to decide whether to file charges in
    cases where prosecutors believe the evidence is strong enough to lead to
    a likely conviction at trial."
