https://www.wsj.com/articles/hunter...joe-biden-b2aceb8a?mod=hp_opin_pos_2#cxrecs_s The Hunter Biden Business Joe’s son cuts a plea deal for minor offenses that will keep him out of jail. By The Editorial Board June 20, 2023 at 6:41 pm ET President Biden’s son Hunter agreed Tuesday to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges that will likely keep him out of prison. The lenient treatment is firing up Republican claims of two-tiered justice, especially because there are no answers about the Biden family’s foreign influence peddling. U.S. Attorney David Weiss began investigating Hunter in 2018, and former Attorney General Bill Barrsaid Tuesday these charges could have been brought within months of his own confirmation in early 2019. The tax charges stem from Hunter’s “willful failure” to pay more than $200,000 in taxes in 2017 and 2018 on income of more than $3 million from his foreign business deals. The press is reporting that prosecutors will recommend probation instead of jail time. The gun plea says Hunter lied on the federal background-check form by denying he was an unlawful user of a controlled substance when buying a gun. Hunter has admitted he was a cocaine addict at the time. He’ll be allowed to enter a pretrial diversion agreement in which he promises to stay drug free for two years and never again own a firearm. The gun charge will then be dropped. One question is why Hunter faced only “willful” misdemeanor tax charges rather than felony count of “tax evasion”—given April news reports that Mr. Weiss’s office felt it had enough evidence for the latter. It’s true DOJ has rarely pursued “lie and buy” gun cases—a longtime complaint of progressive gun-control groups. But DOJ has elevated its focus in recent years, and other attorneys have bragged about their aggressive pursuit of such cases. There’s also the testimony by Internal Revenue Service agent Gary Shapley, a 14-year-veteran who oversees a team specializing in international tax crimes. The whistleblower says his team was assigned to the Hunter case in early 2020, and he “immediately saw deviations from the normal process.” He says “multiple steps” were “just completely not done” and that “each and every time” decisions “seemed to always benefit the subject.” Mr. Shapley says when he pushed back, his team was excluded—and later removed—from the probe. In any case, is that all there is? What about the Biden family’s income windfall from Hunter’s foreign business deals? House and Senate Republicans have documented dozens of suspicious financial transactions related to Hunter’s overseas business while his father was Vice President. The evidence includes a web of shell companies that appear to have funneled large sums of cash to Hunter and other Biden family members. Congressional investigators have also revealed the existence of an FBI document in which a confidential FBI source says a Ukrainian oligarch claimed to have made bribery payments to Hunter and Joe Biden. Mr. Barr says that FBI document was sent to Mr. Weiss’s office. The bribery claim remains hearsay, but Hunter’s financial dealings with shady foreign actors—some connected to the Chinese Communist Party—contain enough smoke to warrant a thorough probe. DOJ said in a press release Tuesday that the “investigation is ongoing.” But Hunter’s attorney said “it is my understanding that the five-year investigation into Hunter is resolved.” Which is it? Mr. Weiss ought to clarify matters and cooperate with Congress to put any suspicion of favorable treatment to rest. Appeared in the June 21, 2023, print edition as 'The Hunter Biden Business'.
Funny how the WSJ isn’t talk g about how damaging an investigation and prosecution into a president’s family might be politically damaging. That’s not what they were saying last week.
It says on the 4473 WARNING: The information you provide will be used to determine whether you are prohibited by Federal or State Law from receiving a firearm, or whether Federal or State Law prohibits the sale or disposition of a firearm to you. Certain violations of the Gun Control Act, 18 U.S.C. § 921 et. seq., are punishable by up to 15 years imprisonment and/or up to a $250,000 fine. The left is tough on law abiding gun owners not so much on crack heads
The “Biden” name has privileges I suppose ..pfft The Justice Department announced on Tuesday that Hunter Biden will plead guilty to two misdemeanor counts of willful failure to pay federal income tax. The younger Biden also agreed to enter into a pretrial diversion agreement regarding a separate charge of possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance. Barr said the DOJ should cooperate with House Republicans demanding that the FBI release the FD-1023 form – providing necessary steps are taken to protect the life and safety of the confidential human source in the document. I would like to say I am hoping for $500 and to get @astros123 to make good on his promise to walk away from this board but really i just want Biden to go away and for my country to turn back from the chaos it’s heading in
Again point out a lot of these guys are the same people arguing that someone possessing national security material when he shouldn’t be shouldn’t be prosecuted. Also that people who beat LEO at the US Capitol are being unfairly prosecuted.
And you made several arguments that Trump shouldn’t be prosecuted or investigated. So I suppose the Trump name carries a lot of privileges.
Do Republicans slamming Biden's son for smoking crack care if Trump's son might actually be a coke snorting druggy? Do they think a coup inciting criminal shouldn't be charged? Do they think it's ok to steal Top secret documents when you are no longer in a position to have them? Is obstructing justice and lying ok if your name is Trump? Money & power keeps the justice system tilted. The rich criminals get away with 10 times worse offenses. A perfect example is that Texan, Ethan Couch, driving into a group of people, killing four and injuring two others. Even though he had a blood-alcohol level 3 times the legal limit, he managed to avoid jail. Imagine if that kid had been from the 3rd Ward, with parents living in poverty. Trump screaming Election Interference, Witch Hunt, or Crooked DOJ doesn't change the facts that he has committed crimes.
