> I’m trying to imagine how I would have reacted if, back when I was a supervisor at the Southern District of New York, another prosecutor had come to me with this pitch: > "We’ve got this case on a guy who had a gun almost five years ago. He was a drug addict at the time, and he lied about that when he filled out some forms to buy the gun. He had the gun for 11 days, nobody ever fired it or used it to do anything, and it wound up getting tossed in a trash can. The guy has had major drug issues and ugly familial problems, but no prior convictions. " > I would have had two immediate questions. First: What’s the crime? Second: Don’t we have better things to do? https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/why-hunter-bidens-pr... |

My cousin went to jail for 6 months for this exact crime and he’s neither famous nor connected to anyone. (Granted, they caught him at the time it didn’t take years.)
