Federal prosecutors plan to indict Hunter Biden by the end of the month: Bombshell court filing says president's son likely faces GUN charges that could land him in prison for up to 10 years
[MAIL] Hunter Biden could face charges of illegally possessing a gun while he was using drugs following a bombshell court filing revealing prosecutors want to indict him by the end of September.

The president's son had reached a deal that would have allowed him to avoid trial for the firearms charges if he abided by parole conditions over 24 months.

But now charges that could land him up to 10 years in prison appear to be back on the table, according to a new filing signed by Special Counsel David Weiss.

'The Speedy Trial Act requires that the Government obtain the return of an indictment by a grand jury by Friday, September 29, 2023, at the earliest,' the filing read. 'The Government intends to seek the return of an indictment in this case before that date.'

Hunter Biden is also under investigation for his foreign business dealings, which are also the focus of probes started by House Republicans in Congress.

#1  Would that be THIS month? Sept?
Gun charges? Not treason or trafficing?
Posted by: Skidmark || 09/07/2023 0:58 Comments || Top||

#2  I see two possibilities.

Optimistic: Powers That Be decided that Biden should go.

Pessimistic: we going to see a direct USA vs. Russia fighting before the end of the month.

#6  What was the name of that Ukrainian prosecutor?

#7  Hunter will be sentenced to "time served". In other words, to the time he spent while being booked.
Whereas, you or I would be in prison for the maximum sentence.

#10  And to take the spotlight from Hunter Jack Smith is getting ready to bring even more charges against Trump.

#11  IIUC if they don’t bring charges by the end of the month he can’t be charged.

Gabon's ousted president allowed to travel abroad
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The head of Gabon, Ali Bongo Ondimbe, who was removed as a result of a coup d'état, was given permission to leave the country by the president of the transitional period of Gabon, Bris Oligi Nguema . This was reported on September 6 by the news portal Gabon Media Time.

“Given the state of health of the former president of the republic, Ali Bongo is free to move. If he wants, he can go abroad for medical control, ” the transition leader said in a statement, which was read by the representative of the rebels, Lieutenant Colonel Ulrich Manfumbi .

It is noted that the decision caused a shock in the country, but at the same time it is explained that such a step is fully consistent with the promise of the military that came to power to restore the institutions of the transition period.

Earlier , IA Regnum reported that General Bris Kloter Oligi Nguema, having taken the oath as president of the transitional period, promised to comply with all domestic and international obligations and make state institutions more democratic.

On August 30, a group of high-ranking military officials announced a coup in Gabon. They said they represent all the security and defense forces in the country. According to them, the results of the elections have been canceled, state institutions have been dissolved, and borders have been closed until further notice. The President of Gabon, Ali Bongo Ondimba, was dismissed, but he retained all civil rights.

New Research: Omicron Variants Appear to be Lab-Made Pathogens Too
[GraniteGrok] Some new research from two Japanese scientists has discovered, or at least posits (using science), "That the Omicron variants are formed by a completely new mechanism that cannot be explained by previous biology." What they mean is that they do not appear to have occurred naturally.

To determine the order of mutations leading to the formation of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variants, we compared the sequences of 129 Omicron BA.1-related, 141 BA.1.1-related, and 122 BA.2-related isolates, and attempted to clarify the evolutionary processes of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variants, including the order of mutations leading to their formation and the occurrence of homologous recombination. As a result, we concluded that the formation of a part of Omicron isolates BA.1, BA.1.1, and BA.2 was not the product of genome evolution, as is commonly observed in nature, ..

#1  I call bullshit.
(a) "We can't solve it", is not an argument. Especially, as the original virus was produced through forced evolution, not genetic engineering.
(b) Cui bono? While there are dozens of countries who have the necessary tech level, who's that stupid?
Chinese? China suffered from COVID more than anybody else.
Democrats to steal the election? Pleeese spare me.
Russians? What for - even NYT admits they're winning.
Ukrainians as a weapon of doom? The really crazy ones don't have the tech ability. Moreover, we'd see Russians blaming Ukraine, and we don't.

#5 
Once again those originally labeled "Conspiracy Nuts" are shown to have delivered the truth. Despite the inflected Gov/MSM punishments and professional blackballing for challenging their concocted version of "Science".

So with 6.9 million dead and over 900k (disproportionately) of those US Citizens.

When will the citizens demand the developers, funders and distributors be brought to trial for mass murder?

#6  So with 6.9 million dead and over 900k (disproportionately) of those US Citizens.

Because China, Russia, and 3rd World underreported. Whereas USA overrepported.
