Trump said it is the only crime (out of many) committed by Hunter Biden that's not connected to his father. In another analysis, it is the least of any of the alleged crimes committed. In a court setting, if a defendant has multiple charges against him, through plea agreement, the prosecutor will agree to what is called an Alford Plea. The way this works is the prosecutor agrees to withdraw all the more serious charges against the defendant except the lesser charge. It assures the prosecutor gets his/her conviction, and keeps the docket clear of trials.

Hunter Biden is essentially getting an Alford Plea here. I'm curious as to how his lawyers are going to absolve him of all the other crimes. The gun plea could work publicly as a narrative to impede any further pressure to prosecute him for all the other crimes. Special Counsel Weiss could say Hunter was already tried for these other crimes. The Mockingbird media might be instructed to campaign with the head line that all these 'mean' republicans are now persecuting Hunter, who has already pleaded guilty to the gun charge. Hunter Biden could also be taken out of the public eye serving his sentence in some undisclosed place.... picture a beach house in some tropical place.
