According to the Washington Post, the smartest man President Biden knows could be charged with a couple of crimes — emphasis on the word “could”:
WAPO: Feds believe they have evidence to charge Hunter Biden with two crimes:
one for not declaring income related to his various business ventures.
the other for buying a hand gun while declaring he was not an “an unlawful user" of narcotics https://t.co/09rK8tio9x

From the WaPo:
Federal agents investigating President Biden’s son Hunter have gathered what they believe is sufficient evidence to charge him with tax crimes and a false statement related to a gun purchase, according to people familiar with the case. The next step is for the U.S. Attorney in Delaware, a Trump administration holdover, to decide on whether to file such charges, these people said.
[…]
Agents determined months ago they had assembled a viable criminal case against the younger Biden. But it is ultimately up to prosecutors at the Justice Department, not agents, to decide whether to file charges in cases where prosecutors believe the evidence is strong enough to lead to a likely conviction at trial.
We’re getting strong Comey “no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case” vibes from this one already.
MSNBC and Fox News have already picked up the story:

The president said yesterday that “nobody f***s with a Biden,” so we’ll see.

Frankly it’s a little surprising, given that, the WaPo decided to run with this particular story.
Let's just fast forward to the end where he walks scot-free & snorts a rail straight off Merrick Garland's forehead. https://t.co/H23jTDho4W

It’s funny because it might end up being true!

Will Hunter be charged? We’ll believe it when we see it.
Here’s one more item of interest:
Given the intense political interest in a criminal probe involving the son of a sitting president, Attorney General Merrick Garland has made clear that the U.S. Attorney in Delaware, David C. Weiss, who was nominated by Trump in late 2017, is supervising the case.
