Name other people guilty of federal gun crimes that received pretrial diversion.
BTW my wife was a federal court reporter for over 30 years and has seen hundreds of federal gun convictions and has never seen a single pretrial diversion . A pretrial diversion would have to be approved by a judge. I saw Kash Patel say he had never seen one and Mat Whitaker also said he had never seen one.

Black was a felon with a gun. Biden has no felony conviction.
The Federal government doesn't pursue 99% of the claims for making a false statement on a 473.
Buying multiple firearms while lying about being a felon. Guns bought found at crime scenes. Attempted to cross international border while carrying a gun. Felon in possession of a firearm.
The funny thing is, you think that is the same as lying about drug use while buying one gun.
Meanwhile, the federal government has a program designed to do diversions for first time offenders.

How many of the federal convictions she saw were for simply lying on the federal form? I would bet she hasn't seen a single conviction for doing that.

Wesley Snipes and many other people have received felonies for failing to file income tax. You don't just "forget" to file millions of dollars of taxes. Hunter had two felonies he was allowed to skate on.

And you would lose your bet. So you want gun laws but you want people to be excused for breaking those laws. Man you Democrats are dumbasses.
I wonder what part of failing to file is difficult for you to understand. Taking deductions that are not legal or not including income is not the same thing failing to file. Millions of people have had to pay interest and fines for back taxes and never been charged with a single crime when they failed to include income.
I'm already winning the bet because you can't name a single person charged only with filing a false 473 who got a felony conviction.

Hunter's lifestyle far exceeds his claimed income.
That isn't a crime. Lots of people don't live within their means.

OKLAHOMA CITY — The Western District of Oklahoma is aggressively seeking to keep firearms out of the wrong hands by pursuing those who lie in connection with gun purchases. Several recent cases charged in federal court highlight these efforts.
Federal law prohibits knowingly making any false statement in connection with purchasing, or attempting to purchase, a firearm. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) requires prospective firearm buyers to complete ATF Form 4473. This Form requires buyers to answer several questions, including those about the buyer’s competency, criminal history, drug use, immigration status, and history with domestic violence. Applicants who knowingly make false statements may also face criminal prosecution for a felony and up to 10 years in federal prison. Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs), who sell or transfer a firearm to a prohibited person, allow a straw purchaser to buy a gun for someone else, or fail to keep proper records of who they sell firearms to may also face criminal prosecution. Before attempting to purchase a firearm, prospective buyers who have eligibility concerns should visit www.atf.gov or contact their local ATF field office.
AMY CARWILE, 46, and KEVIN CARWILE, 48, both of Purcell, Oklahoma, were sentenced on August 3, 2022, to serve three months in federal prison. According to public record, the Carwiles were engaged in the business of selling firearms, and dating back to 2012, they made false statements and failed to maintain proper records in connection with their firearm business. Transaction records indicate that the Carwiles had sold approximately 253 firearms through their off-the-books operation. Records further reflect law enforcement seized 112 firearms that were to be sold without completing the appropriate and required paperwork. Their federal firearms license to sell firearms has been revoked.
EDDIE WAYNE MORRISON, 34 of Duncan, Oklahoma, was sentenced to time-served, or essentially 16 months in federal custody, on December 29, 2022, for making a false statement during the purchase of a firearm. According to public record, Morrison purchased a firearm from EZ Pawn in Duncan. Prior to purchasing a firearm, Morrison had been deemed incompetent by a court. He was also subject to a protective order in Love County. A judge had ordered Morrison detained in federal custody since August 12, 2021, until sentencing. He is currently serving a term of two years of supervised release.
Guilty Pleas:
HERIBERTO FLORES, 29, of Oklahoma City, pleaded guilty on April 5, 2022, to illegal possession of ammunition as a convicted felon. According to public record, Flores was at an Oklahoma City Fairgrounds gun show with another individual, Haley Adkison, where officers observed the two looking at different handguns. Law enforcement pulled over Flores after he left the gun show and found him in possession of ammunition. At sentencing, Flores faces up to ten years in federal prison.
HALEY LEEANNE ADKISON, 24, of Oklahoma City, pleaded guilty on August 18, 2022, to making a false statement during a firearms transaction. According to public record, Adkison was observed completing paperwork regarding the purchase of firearms at an Oklahoma City Fairgrounds gun show, after looking at different firearms with Heriberto Flores. Adkison was scheduled to take possession of six firearms at the vendor’s store in Tulsa, Oklahoma. At sentencing, Adkison faces up to ten years in federal prison.
JOSHUA DAVID MOSELEY, 31, of Harrah, Oklahoma, pleaded guilty on September 6, 2022, to making a false statement during the purchase of a firearm. According to public record, Moseley attempted to purchase a firearm from Super Pawn #2 Inc., in Oklahoma City. Moseley checked “no” for having been convicted in any court of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence. Public records show that, on January 6, 2022, Mosely was convicted of misdemeanor domestic assault and battery in Oklahoma County District Court case CM-2021-1377. At sentencing, Moseley faces up to 10 years in federal prison.
BRIONJRE MARTAI ODELL HAMILTON, 22, of Oklahoma City, pleaded guilty on October 10, 2022, to making false statements during attempted purchases of firearms. According to public record, on May 25, 2022, Hamilton was convicted of carrying a firearm under the influence of drugs (marijuana) in Oklahoma County District Court case CM-2021-3533. Thereafter, records reflect Hamilton lied on the ATF Form 4473 regarding his eligibility to purchase firearms and attempted to purchase firearms on four separate occasions, after the ATF informed Hamilton that he was a prohibited from doing so. At sentencing, Hamilton faces up to 10 years in federal prison on all four counts.
NEMORY ZAHID RAMOS CASTRO, 22, of Oklahoma City, pleaded guilty on January 5, 2023, for making a false statement during the purchase of a firearm. According to public record, Ramos made false written statements in connection with the purchases of two assault-style firearms, one in Oklahoma City and one in Luther, Oklahoma. In one instance, Ramos submitted the ATF Form 4473 stating he was not acquiring the assault-style firearm for another person, but a few hours after the transfer law enforcement found another individual in possession of it during a traffic stop. At sentencing, Castro faces up to ten years in federal prison on both counts.

That is how the IRS investigates tax evasion crimes. The IRS whistleblower and his team said Hunter was being preferential treatment . He and his team were then pulled off Hunter's IRS investigation.

Let me just say this- ONLY A COMPLETE IDIOT WOULD COMPARE HUNTER BIDEN'S Rap Sheet to Kodak Black's.
December 2015: Arrest for marijuana possession
Just two months after he was charged with drug possession in addition to more severe crimes, Kodak was arrested in St. Lucie County for possession of almost two pounds of marijuana. He also was charged for having drug paraphernalia on him.
February 2016: Arrest for sexual battery
Kodak Black allegedly assaulted a young woman in Florence, South Carolina, in February 2016. The woman reportedly accompanied him to his hotel room after his show at the nightclub Treasure City. Soon after entering the room, she said, the rapper ripped off her clothes, bit her, and raped her. He was charged with criminal sexual misconduct.
April 2016: Arrest for weapons possession
Shortly after the Florence incident, Kodak was allegedly seen buying marijuana from a drug dealer; he then got in his car and drove away. When police tried to pull him over, he attempted to evade arrest and threw a gun from his car, according to the cops. After recovering a loaded .40-caliber Glock 23 pistol, they arrested Kodak for possessing a weapon by a convicted felon, possession of marijuana, and a number of traffic violations.
May 2016: Arrest in Broward County
According to XXL, Kodak was arrested again in Broward County, this time in connection with open warrants related to the previous charges of false imprisonment and armed robbery.
While he was in jail for this arrest, outstanding warrants for the criminal sexual misconduct case in Florence and the marijuana possession charge from December 2015 were brought to light.
August 2016
After three months in jail, Kodak was sentenced in August to one year of house arrest and five years of probation. He was also reportedly ordered to complete community service, anger management, and community control supervision programs.
However, before he could be placed on house arrest, the open warrants for the St. Lucie County drug possession arrest halted his release. In addition to that warrant, his charge of criminal sexual misconduct in the Florence case was changed to sexual battery, which carries a penalty of up to 30 years in prison.
September 2016
A month later, in September, he pleaded no contest to the St. Lucie possession case and was sentenced to 120 days in prison.
November 28, 2016
Kodak Black was released from a St. Lucie County jail and extradited to South Carolina to face the sexual battery charge.
December 1, 2016
As predicted by his lawyers, Kodak was freed from a South Carolina jail after posting a $100,000 bond for the sexual battery charge. He posted on Instagram that he was “happy to finally be going home to family and friends” and that he looked forward to clearing his name “in the very near future.”
Feb 2017: Arrest for violating house arrest, assaulting bartender
After appearing in court in Broward, Kodak was arrested for violating the terms of his house arrest related to the charges of false imprisonment in May 2016.
The decision to take him into custody was bolstered by his alleged assault of a bartender at Club Climaxx in Miami earlier in February. Charges weren’t formally filed against him, but the woman identified Kodak as the man who punched and kicked her at the club, and the police incident report was presented in court.
April/May 2017: Angry outburst, sentencing in house arrest violation
Between April 21 and May 4, Kodak was embroiled in a number of legal issues.
On April 21, he was accused of grabbing his anger management counselor by the arm after she threatened to call 911 when he refused to leave a session. She reportedly asked him to leave because he was “intentionally disrupting” the session by “burping repeatedly.”
Five days later, on April 26, he was found guilty on five counts of violating his house arrest.
On May 4, he was sentenced to 364 days in prison with the possibility of early release if he completed a life skills course. He successfully finished the course and was released in June after serving 97 days.
January 2018: Arrest for weapons and drug possession, child neglect
Despite some legal issues regarding child support for his son, Kodak steered clear of the courthouse for the remainder of 2017 after his release from jail. That changed January 18, 2018, when police were alerted to a live stream on Kodak Black’s Instagram feed. The video showed the rapper in his Broward home, surrounded by drugs and weapons with his child nearby.
He was arrested for grand theft of a firearm, two charges of possession of a weapon or ammo by a Florida delinquent adult felon, possession of cannabis over 20 grams, child neglect without great bodily harm, and two counts of parole violation, according to XXL.
A month later, his lawyers were able to get the charges of grand theft, child neglect, and possession of a weapon by a felon dropped.
April 2018: Sentencing for January arrest
Kodak Black entered a plea of not guilty and was again sentenced to 364 days in prison for the remaining charges stemming from his January arrest. He got credit for 90 days of time served in jail while awaiting trial, so he was released in August of that year.
During that stint in jail, Kodak seemed to be trying hard to turn his life around: He earned a GED, changed his legal name to Bill K. Kapri, and even tweeted about writing a book.
Shortly after his release, it was revealed he was also let off probation, truly cementing his freedom.
For a while, things quieted down for Kodak as he continued to release hit songs and collaborate with exciting artists.
However, things once again spiraled downward that spring.
April/May 2019: Arrest for weapons possession
Kodak Black and three others were apprehended by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents while trying to cross into Canada from New York. He was found with a Glock 9mm pistol and marijuana and was taken to the Niagara County Jail.
He paid the $20,000 to $40,000 bond and then walked out of the jail with a fan of cash covering his face.
Then, less than a month later, he was arrested on weapons charges in Miami. Just before he was set to take the stage at the hip-hop music festival Rolling Loud, he was apprehended by U.S. marshals for state and federal firearms violations following what was described as an “extensive investigation.”
The federal charge arose from an instance in which the rapper allegedly lied about the status of his criminal cases when he filled out official paperwork for a gun purchase.
November 2019: Federal prison sentencing
Kodak pleaded guilty to the federal weapons charge, admitting he gave false information in connection with a January 2019 gun purchase. In November 2019, he was sentenced to three years and ten months in prison.
Behind bars, he had heated confrontations with guards at the high-security prison Big Sandy in Kentucky, which prompted him to file a lawsuit that accused prison staff of beating him and restraining him for hours with no access to a bathroom. (The Bureau of Prisons claimed Kodak had to be restrained because he was violent and spit at a guard.)

Dude, when punishments are decided by Judges, they will take under consideration how many prior offenses, what the level of violence he caused in his prior crimes, and all of the arrest and convictions of the defendants crimes, before determining the punishment.
So, before you start thinking Hunter deserves the Death Penalty for his crime, you may want to look at the same things the judges used to determine Hunter's and Kodak's punishments.

Not a form 4474 violation. Not the same crime Hunter is guilty of. But regardless you lost your bet.
And Al Capone was convicted of tax evasion because his lifestyle was far in excess of his income. It is a pretty common tactic for the IRS.

Dude Hunter was given a pass on income tax evasion. Plus I gave you examples of people lying on their 4474 that had no significant previous criminal activities that went to prison. The prosecutor had to get special from his superiors to even offer a diversion agreement for a gun crime. If you do not understand how our judicial system works- YOU MAY WANT TO REFRAIN FROM TALKING OUT YOUR ASS ABOUT STUFF YOU OBVIOUSLY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT!
The maximum sentence is 10 years. So previous criminal activity gets you more time but no criminal history does not mean you get no time moron.
