Hunter Biden Was Unfairly Prosecuted. His father did the right thing.

1. So, Hunter lied on a form to purchase a gun.

When I enlisted in the military in the early 1970's, apparently there was a question on the form I filled out, about drug use. I must have answered 'No'.
A couple of weeks later, while in boot camp, the results came back from my urine sample. The results were not good. They were processing my discharge papers.
A lawyer on base helped me out. It turns out that when I took the drugs, it was BEFORE I was sworn in (my dad gave me an 'upper' that he got from a truck driving buddy so we could drink all night on the last night I was a civilian). So technically it was 'fraudulent enlistment' -- I lied on the enlistment form. But I had good recommendation from my Company Commander in boot camp (a decent old Navy Chief), and was able to stay in, finishing my four-year enlistment with an honorable discharge.
My point is, I 'broke the law' by knowingly checking the wrong box on a federal form, essentially lying about my drug use. Nobody threatened to throw me in prison -- I signed a paper saying I wouldnt do drugs again, and stayed in the military.
I guess a lot depends on who your dad is!
