    The FBI while supposedly investigating the case of Hunter lying about
    drug use on his permit application never actually examined the gun or
    the case it was found in.

    After the "plea deal" collapsed the FBI went to Delaware State Police
    to get some photos of the gun for the new charges paperwork. Upon examination they noted some white powder present on the case and
    tested it....it was cocaine. This seems like pretty solid piece of evidence the prosecutors would want but the FBI never actually
    examined the evidence available to prosecute the case. Why?
    Anyone care to offer a reason?

    The FBI was already aware of Hunter's drug problems, certainly as far
    back as the publication of his memoir.

    Hunter, in the throes of drug addiction, may not have had the mental
    capacity to be responsible for lying on his gun form (he bought the gun
    while suffering paranoia).

    Re-examining evidence after prosecutorial reneging on the plea deal
    supports a case for vindictive prosecution.

    Doesn't make the evidence of cocaine on his gun bag less relevant in this case.

    That's true: still not relevant. It will aid a vindictive prosecution
    defense, though.

    So we have a paranoid lunatic living in the WH. Great!

    He got better. No signs of improvement in that other former inhabitant unfortunately.
