Secret Service intervenes in police investigation to protect Hunter Biden after his gun was thrown in the TRASH

Politico has a new report out this morning detailing how the Secret Service actually intervened in a police investigation to protect Hunter Biden after his gun was thrown in an outdoor trash can by his daughter-in-law:

On Oct. 23, 2018, President Joe Biden’s son Hunter and daughter in law Hallie were involved in a bizarre incident in which Hallie took Hunter’s gun and threw it in a trash can behind a grocery store, only to return later to find it gone.

Delaware police began investigating, concerned that the trash can was across from a high school and that the missing gun could be used in a crime, according to law enforcement officials and a copy of the police report obtained by POLITICO.

But a curious thing happened at the time: Secret Service agents approached the owner of the store where Hunter bought the gun and asked to take the paperwork involving the sale, according to two people, one of whom has firsthand knowledge of the episode and the other was briefed by a Secret Service agent after the fact.

The gun store owner refused to supply the paperwork, suspecting that the Secret Service officers wanted to hide Hunter’s ownership of the missing gun in case it were to be involved in a crime, the two people said. The owner, Ron Palmieri, later turned over the papers to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, which oversees federal gun laws.

Days later, the gun was returned by an older man who regularly rummages through the grocery’s store’s trash to collect recyclable items, according to people familiar with the situation.

The incident did not result in charges or arrests.

These Secret Service officers were using their authority to try and coerce the store owner into giving them the purchase documents after police had already begun their investigation, to hide the fact that the gun belonged to Hunter. Why else would they make such a request?

According to Politico, this would be “inappropriate interference”:

But the alleged involvement of the Secret Service remains a mystery. One law enforcement official said that at the time of the incident, individual Secret Service agents at the agency’s offices in Wilmington, Del., and Philadelphia kept an informal hand in maintaining the former vice president’s security. The person cited an instance in 2019 when the Wilmington office of the Secret Service called the Delaware State Police to arrange security for a public appearance by Biden.

The Secret Service declined to answer a question about whether it had informal involvement in Biden’s security during this period.

Any involvement by the Secret Service on behalf of the Biden family or on its own initiative would be inappropriate interference in an incident that was already being investigated by Delaware State Police with the involvement of the FBI, according to law enforcement officials.

So you might be wondering why exactly the Secret Service would try and hide the fact that Hunter Biden has a gun. I think the answer may lie here:

POLITICO obtained copies of the Firearms Transaction Record and a receipt for the gun dated Oct. 12, 2018.

Hunter responded “no” to a question on the transaction record that asks, “Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?” Five years earlier, he had been discharged from the Navy Reserve after testing positive for cocaine, and he and family members have spoken about his history of drug use.

Lying on the form is a felony, though prosecutions for it are exceedingly rare.

Neither Hallie Biden nor George Mesires, a lawyer for Hunter Biden, responded to requests for comment.

Hunter knew he lied to buy the gun and that all of that was about to unravel in this police investigation. So he sent his father’s Secret Service detail to try and get the gun shop owner to give them the documents, probably so they could destroy them in case the gun turned up later.

I wonder how much Hunter and daddy Biden were paying these Secret Service officers on the side to act like his security thugs? Given how the Biden crime family used his daddy Biden’s name to get filthy rich, it wouldn’t surprise me if these officers were making big money.

Either way, this is something the Secret Service should investigate and something Joe Biden should be asked about today in his first press conference. Of course that won’t happen.
