The second indictment of Hunter Biden brought nine new criminal charges and a host of problems for both him and his father. The indictment shatters past claims and denials related to the massive influence peddling operation by the Bidens. However, it is also a case study of the perils of legal gluttony.
Five months ago, exasperated Biden defense counsel Chris Clark snapped at federal prosecutors to “just rip it up” after a plea bargain hit a snag in a hearing before Judge Maryellen Noreika. They did and, for the first time, Hunter could be facing a real chance for jail time.
The six misdemeanor charges and three felonies carry a potential sentence of 17 years for alleged tax evasion and filing a false return. It could have been worse. The Justice Department inexplicably allowed the statute of limitations to run on the most serious allegations involving payments from years going back to 2013. Those are mentioned in the narrative of the indictment but not charged as separate offenses.
None of this would have happened if Judge Noreika did not ask a very simple question about the plea agreement and a sweeping immunity provision buried in its language. Many judges would have likely flagged through the agreement and given Hunter the sweetest of sweetheart deals.
Noreika noticed that the deal seemed to give Hunter immunity for any crime going forward and asked the prosecutor if he had ever seen any agreement like this one. He honestly answered “no.”
It was later learned that there was a push within the Justice Department to have no charges at all brought against Hunter in an investigation that was heavily laden with special treatment, according to IRS whistleblowers.
The investigation by the House has shown how Hunter and his counsel allowed their appetite for special treatment to turn into a raging disorder. The Justice Department reportedly gave Hunter a “heads up” about planned searches and interviews, scuttling those efforts. Even though the Justice Department had an agreement to “toll the statute” to prevent the early charges from expiring, the Special Counsel just let them die without any rational reason.
In this “all-you-can-eat” legal Smorgasbord, it is little surprise that the Biden team would demand an unprecedented immunity deal and just two misdemeanors after years of tax evasion covering millions from insider trading.
After all, Attorney General Merrick Garland had refused the calls of many of us to appoint a Special Counsel to look into the corruption scandal. The scandal was capped off legally and the media was running cover for Hunter.
The laptop was falsely denounced as Russian disinformation and the media largely dismissed influence peddling claims. Whenever new allegations surfaced, the President and the media would literally run to the nearest ice cream shop to discuss the President’s favorite flavors.
In other words, why ask for a sweeping immunity deal? The answer was why not.
That all came crashing down when Judge Noreika just cleared her throat in court.
As the prosecutors struggled to explain the absurd immunity provision, the Biden legal team was obviously shocked at the notion that they might have to exercise portion control. After all, the President himself has declared “no one f**ks with a Biden.”
That is when they told the prosecutors to “just rip it up.” Those are the four most dangerous words that a criminal defendant could utter in a hearing on a plea deal. They could have immediately narrowed the immunity deal and even added a few misdemeanors to salvage the deal. Instead, they shredded their client.
What followed was performative and frankly a tad pathetic. To the thrill of some in the media, the Biden team promised to get aggressive with witnesses and critics. They started to make demands as if they still controlled events, including saying that they would only comply with a congressional subpoena on their own terms.
It won’t work. A bill has come due. While Garland is still protecting President Biden from a Special Counsel, Hunter Biden is going to have to face these alleged crimes and corruption. Even the media is now admitting that he was influence peddling, though maintaining a final line of defense for the president. The last defense is that it was corrupt, but merely illusory because it did not actually influence Joe Biden.
In other words, Hunter is rapidly becoming expendable.
The lesson for lawyers should be lasting: even if you can secure a massive sweetheart deal, you may want to exercise a modicum of portion control. That “all-you-can-eat” option may not be the best course for your client. The Justice Department was clearly willing to give Hunter anything that he demanded, but maybe you need to demand less. Sometimes it is better to go for the more limited a la carte option. Your client will consume less but he may be able to get up from the table. In other words, you need to be careful what you ask for . . . you just might get it.
No, it doesn’t “a host of problems for … his father.”
As Peter Doocy of Fox News said, “The House Oversight Committee has been at this for years, and they have so far not been able to provide any concrete evidence that Joe Biden personally profited from his son Hunter’s overseas business.”
* doesn’t create
Anonymous, so the congress has been at it for years when they only regained power in January of 2021. The Hunter investigation didn’t began until well after the Republicans won the House. You say it’s been years and years and years and they found nothing. Do you ever think about what your saying before you say it. Sorry, stupid question.
Thanks for showing us that you do not know what quotation marks mean. Go back to school and learn English.
BTW, more than two years is “years.”
And 11months is not 1 year.
You forget that this started during the Trump Admin.
this started during
Got lots of events in the discussion. Your intentional vagueness is noted
Democrats controlled the house until Jan 2023. It has been months not years.
It started under Trump. Last I heard, he and his Admin were Republicans.
“House Oversight Committee has been at this for years,”
This is what was said. Its a lie and the person who quoted it is a liar.
So if someone quotes Trump’s lies, that makes the person a liar?
If they try to make a point, using that lie as evidence, then yes.
Additionally, you said “as Peter Doocy said”, meaning either you were making the same point as he, or that you were letting him speak for you.
What also makes you a liar is that he never said that.
So thats 2 lies in one post. So yea, I’d say that makes you a liar.
Now its “concrete” evidence.
Add that to lack of
real
definitive
convincing
unequivocal
incontrovertible
direct
tangible
evidence.
Eye witness accounts are evidence
Witness statements are evidence
Bank records are evidence
emails are evidence
whats app, Signal and text messages are evidence
contemporaneous statements are evidence
hearsay is evidence (whether admissible in court or not)
Wire transfers, cancelled checks, SARS are evidence
FBI interview forms are evidence
White house logs are evidence
Find the evidence compelling, taken in its entirety, or act like an intellectual leper, losing your ability to reason one piece of evidence at a time.
Ask Peter Doocy if he thinks, based on the “non-concrete” evidence, that Joe Biden is a c*ck sucking liar. I think we all know what his answer would be.
Please provide an actual quote – I can not find this.
I would also be surprised to find it.
Doocy is part of the White House Press corp, not the congressional one.
Republicans took control of the house in Jan. 2023 – after the 2022 election. It is still 2023 – so No the house oversight comittee has not been at this for years.
If Doocy said what you claim – he is wrong on multiple counts.
But I doubt he said that.
As even Turley noted long ago – it is not necescary for Joe Biden to receive money personally, If Hunter Sell’s Joe’s influence as VP, and Joe Acts, and Hunter gets paid – that is sufficient to prove a crime – and we have that in spades.
HOWEVER, we also now have numerous payments to Joe, and the house has barely scratched the surface of the Biden family bank accounts.
As the FBI 1023 stated – The Biden’s financial affairs are incredibly convoluted, and it is taking time to sort out.
Joe should have followed Hillary’s lead and set up a private charity – you can launder money through a charity openly.
Oligarchs “donate” hundreds of millions to your “charity”
. You use the money to life it up with the davos crowd. And to jet off to charitable conferences where your charitable contribution is telling actual charities how to engage in charity. You also use your foundation as a parking place for political chronies while they are out of power – so that they remain loyal to you and do not have to actually work for a living, which might give them a clue how the real world works.
Instead Joe setup his graft using drug cartels as his model – and you wonder why it all looks crooked ?
Because it is.
“Even the media is now admitting that he was influence peddling, though maintaining a final line of defense for the president”
That final line of defense will be abandoned as soon as Joe Biden is no longer politically useful. At that point left wingers, including the propagandists posting in Turkey’s comments, will flip to claim they always opposed Joes corruption in order to recover a shred of their integrity. That’s why most media don’t address the issues specifically, but instead in generalizations. Later they will claim not to have know the full story.
The entire propaganda strategy was planned out when the story became public. There’s been literally not one single honest comment made on the subject by a member of the left media or political movement.
When Hunter is found guilty of tax evasion all of the leftist on this blog will tell us regardless of the evidence against us will tell us that he is just a little fellow gone astray and his daddy just loved him so much that he showed up to meetings with his business partners to help him scam millions of dollars from Ukraine and China. Poor iddy bitty Hunter Biden.
He paid the taxes due, unlike Roger Stone. You surely want Stone charged.
Who cares? Put Roger Stone in a rocket and send him to Mars. Or fry him up like bacon. Who gives a sh!t.
“He paid the taxes due,”
How could he pay them, at least one year he never filed taxes, And of course all the business expense for whores, drugs, and vacations prove the tax evasion charges.
time to create an new phony narrative.
Your defense is extremely pedantic, but I have no problem seeing through the pedantry
Idiot, he subsequently filed them and paid them. Why don’t you know this by now?
idiot, its still a crime
Is that why Weiss ran the limitations clock on some of his more egregious crimes? It was a cover up of criminal activity at the highest levels of our government. It will all be disclosed in due time, meanwhile don’t forget to pay your fair share, 30 million illegal invaders are depending on you.
“He paid the taxes due, unlike Roger Stone.”
Not entirely true. $2M was paid for him, during the 2020 Presidential campaign because “it would be damaging personally and politically” not to.
This raises even more questions, such as did someone pay the tax on that gift, and could it be considered a campaign contribution, since the impetus was to prevent it from being damaging “politically”?
Paying the taxes due corrects a “failure to pay taxes” charge. It does not correct nor moot a “tax evasion” charge. You should know this, as a taxpayer.
Hunter; ‘Paid the Party to Pay the Tax Bill’, the funding for the payment was derived with graft bribery money earned from Influence Peddling.
He had to make like he was Broke and did not source the funds from Influence Peddling, and remain unaccountable so he could evade Income Taxes, ON HIS INCOME TAX PAYMENT.
That is how convoluted & corrupt the Bidens are. He paid the Tax Bill with ill gotten gains, and thought he could walk away.
Guess what, I bet there’s more than a Few that pay Taxes with Laundered Money.
Actually someone else paid his taxes, long after the income should have been reported. That does not avoid criminal liability, anymore than returning money stolen from a bank avoids prosecution.
He paid his taxes on what? Oh, yeah, bribes.
He took bribes, laundered the money, and failed to report income.
CORRUPTION, BRIBERY, MONEY LAUNDERING, TAX EVASION.
But what you are being redirected away from is the truth.
Obama oversaw all of it.
All roads lead to Obama.
Obama is the de facto president.
The DOJ doesn’t sweat the “small stuff.”
The DOJ did not indict Joe Biden because the DOJ is protecting Obama.
If the DOJ had indicted Joe Biden, the DOJ would have convicted Obama.
Stone was not charged with tax evasion.
Paul Manafort was. Manafort legally loaned himself money from his own foreign accounts.
That became tax evasion when he failed to repay the loans.
Regardless, Manafort reached a settlement with the IRS and paid all the taxes prior to Trump taking office.
Mueller tried – and persuaded a DC jury that a careless failure that was resolved, was actually malicious and criminal tax evasion.
Yes there are differences – No Republican during the Trump administration was treated with kid gloves the way Democrats have been under BOTH republican and democratic administrations.
Not to be flipped but the Biden’s are a bunch of clowns. What is the estimate of what they took in: $5 million-$10 million or even $50 million? In the grand scheme they are nothing more than inept corrupt petty thief’s who have been caught with their hands in the Cookie Jar. They are minor compared to the masters Bill and Hillary.
How to define a Democrat, if anyone can suggest a more appropriate word or meanings_______!
Despot, tyrant, dictator, autocrat, oppressor, ruffian, brigand, overlord, monotonous, insipid, deranged, manic, psychotic, loco, daft, precarious, frail, surfeited, inane, blockhead, nitwit, fool, vauntist, plebeian (as in vulgar), dangerous, cadger, hypocrite, inscrutable.
The Republicans should pin a tail on the donkey, maybe using the Chinese Flag, a Woke Banner or just a sign “Let’s Go Brandon”.
You are correct – the Clinton operation was far slicker and more sophisticated.
One of the Biden’s problems is that they are the neanderthals of influence pedaling.
They did so small time (relatively) and stupidly.
They structured their operations like drug cartels.
The clinton’s stuctured theirs as a charity.
Of course Hunter is only being charged by the Feds and not any state DAs or AGs therefore Joe can pardon him.
Well, what crime would you charge him with at the state level?
I guess you could charge him w tax evasion but that would have to be in California and lets face it. Newsome isn’t going to do that.
(Unless he can blackmail Joe into dropping out and replacing him at the last minute…)
Hmmm maybe it could happen?
-G
Ian-“what crime would you charge him with at state level?”. Now ask yourself what an Alvin Bragg would do. Or what Letitia James would do. Or what Fani Willis would do. Do you think for one second that the rediculous case that Alvin Bragg brought against Trump couldn’t be replicated by some aggressive red state DA? How about drug use? How about state gun crimes? How about state tax evasion? How about sex with minors or trafficking?
On top of all of that we have the egregious lack of a federal FARA case ala Paul Manaford?
But Joe hasn’t pardoned him for anything he’s been charged with. Abbe Lowell is a good lawyer. How about we see how the charges play out in court?
How have the “charges played out in court” for countless previous perps?
Ask yourself how the Supreme Court of 1973 found a federal constitutional right to abortion anywhere in the U.S. Constitution when it doesn’t exist.
Ask yourself how the Supreme Court of 1861 found secession unconstitutional when there is no prohibition in the Constitution, the Founders themselves seceded from Great Britain, and half the nations around the world have experienced secession.
There is no right there; there are only infinite amounts of corruption in the judicial branch.
This whole thing is a Deep Deep State joke on Americans.
The whole of America is off the Constitution, totally corrupt, and has been since 1860.
When do Americans get their constitutional rights, freedoms, privileges, and immunities back?
When do Americans once again hold dominion over their government through their Constitution and Bill of Rights?
Jonathan: Almost every week you come up with another column about Hunter Biden. And it’s not as if you haven’t covered everything Hunter in the course of the past year. Your fundamental problem is that Hunter is not running for president. In your last column you resorted to personal attacks on Hunter calling him a “hopeless blacked out junkie”…”blacked out between trysts with high-priced prostitutes”. Even a new low for you. Now that Hunter has been charged by SC David Weiss on tax violations there is more grist for your attacks on Hunter and Joe Biden.
Just for the record, David Weiss was appointed in 2019 by AG Barr to go after Hunter because he and DJT knew Joe Biden would be the probable Dem candidate in 2020. Hunter was the low hanging fruit Barr and DJT could use it to tarnish Joe Biden’s run for the presidency. Didn’t work then and it probably won’t work next year. Most voters next year will not be focused on Hunter’s legal problems. Now to the issues raised in your column.
You say the DOJ “explicitly allowed the statute of limitations to run on the most serious allegations” about Hunter’s tax violations. You can’t blame that on Garland because he was not AG at the time. Federal prosecutors wanted to prosecute Hunter in 2020 but Weiss hesitated because he was concerned charging Hunter during his dad’s campaign would be perceived as a political witch hunt during the campaign. If you want to blame anyone for letting the statute of limitations expire that is something you should take it up with your close friend Bill Barr.
You also falsely claim there “was a push within the [Garland] Justice Department to have no charges brought against Hunter…according to IRS whistleblowers”. The IRS agents who testified before Comer’s Committee were not actual “whistleblowers” because they could offer no evidence that Hunter was given preferential treatment by the IRS.
You even go on to make spurious claims that “Garland is still protecting President Biden from a Special Counsel…”. And your proof? Nothing. Garland has given Weiss free reign in his investigation. Now charging with felonies in connection with the tax violations is proof positive Garland is not “protecting” Joe Biden. You forget that Weiss’s mandate was to investigate Hunter–not his dad.
And both the media and the Dems have said Hunter was engaged in “influence peddling”. But that’s not a crime. Comer has not come up with any evidence that Joe Biden financially benefited from his son’s business dealings–nor did he take any official actions to benefit Hunter. It’s pretty clear Garland has taken a hands off approach to Weiss’s prosecutions of Hunter. That’s the way it should be. If Hunter committed crimes he should be prosecuted.
But can you imagine this happening when DJT was president? Had Eric or Don Jr. been investigated on similar charges you know what would have happened. DJT would have ordered Barr to shut them down. And, based on Barr’s actions in protecting DJT, that is exactly what would have happened. You won’t see that under AG Garland!
What % of people on this site do you think actually read anything by Dennis? My guess is about 5%…and they are all named either Anonymous, Gigi or Svelas.
@Hullbobby,
I used to, just so I can poke fun of good ol Denise.
But lately she’s become so lame.
-G
Ian, my only quibble with your comment is the word “lately”.
I read Dennis. I think he is in error, but he makes an actual case, argues his position, and provides something substantive with which a reader can contend. In other words, he actually has something to say. If you think he’s mistaken, then you should say why you think he’s mistaken.
I read it occasionally, so that I can ridicule his “case”.
“but he makes
an actual casesh!t up, argueshis positionlike a petulant child, and provides somethingsubstantivewith which a reader cancontendwipe his @ss.”Fixed that for ya.
HullBobby,
Just scroll past.
Although his AR15 post was absolutely hysterical from his ignorance.
Otherwise, just scroll past.
And you, obviously.
I spend about 10 seconds to ferret out a lie or two. Demonstrating leftist on this site are incapable of posting any comment without littering the comments with lies.
He makes his family read it.
When you already know what he’s going to say, there’s not much point in reading it. Originality is not Dennis’s strong suit.
This is true. Lets examine this logically. What are the odds that someone from either side of the political spectrum, could be on the opposite side of the fence from Turley on EVERY SINGLE TOPIC. It’s statistically not plausible.
So, why then? It’s been conjectured that he is a paid troll. I’m not “buying” it. If he is, the person paying him is the worst businessman of all time. It would be better spent on the people who actually disrupt the conversation (you know who you are). That is much more effective. His epic fails at creating or realigning the narrative are the stuff of legend (in his own mind), but hardly worthy of financial reimbursement.
Conclusion…he is a narcissist without peer. It’s that simple. And low IQ.
His self appointed “devil’s advocate” role leads him down logic rabbit holes from which there is no escape. He literally makes up anecdotes to illustrate his point, and even those stories are full of holes. When he runs out of talking points and plagiarized material, he goes off on completely unrelated tangents of his own making, just to hear himself talk some more. This is classic behavior of a narcissist with a less than average IQ.
He’s a contrarian weirdo!
To be honest hullbobby, I don’t read most of the comments these days. JT is very thorough in his posts and there is very little that truly remains to be said. What transpires in the comment section then is the predictable defense of the indefensible by the likes of those you mentioned and the equally predictable rebuttals articulating points that have been previously articulated a 1,000 times. It’s like watching a bad Columbo episode. While there’s no mysterious whodunit, there is a group of people desperately trying to convince the audience the crime they witnessed didn’t actually happen. When that inevitably fails, then it’s the crime wasn’t really a crime. Then it’s the crime was minor. Or the crime was nothing compared to some other alleged crime. And on and on. What makes this bad is the realization that the criminal will escape justice.
One might conjecture, with license, that a certain party has finally arrived Back to the Future.

That’s NUTCHACHACHA or Natasha, the chief hysterical and incoherent feminazi, for those of you in Rio Linda.
Your fundamental problem is that Hunter is not running for president.
“We need to take care of the tax debt because it could cause significant damage personally and politically”—Hunter’s dream team of lawyers seem to disagree with you.
If you want to blame anyone for letting the statute of limitations expire that is something you should take
itup with your close friend Bill Barr.An ignorant statement, given that the statutes ran out AFTER Bill Barr was AG.
And I fixed your crapola grammar again. Proofread your garbage, please.
Federal prosecutors wanted to prosecute Hunter in 2020 but Weiss hesitated because he was concerned charging Hunter during his dad’s campaign would be perceived as a political witch hunt during the campaign.
Did Weiss say that, or are you just makin’ sh!t up again? Also, your whole argument re: the statute of limitations, is bereft of logic. Have you heard of “toll the statute”? Apparently not. Letting it run OUT was no accident. Grow up.
The IRS agents who testified before Comer’s Committee were not actual “whistleblowers” because they could offer no evidence that Hunter was given preferential treatment by the IRS.
This isn’t ignorance, it’s just an outright lie. We all saw the hearing. They blew the whistle plenty. They offered a ton of evidence, including contemporaneous emails. Much more evidence was handed over to the committees that could not be made public. They testified UNDER OATH that they were stymied in following the money. That’s preferential treatment because the IRS ALWAYS follows the money. They are RELENTLESS about it.
“And both the media and the Dems have said Hunter was engaged in “influence peddling”. But that’s not a crime.”
First of all, it IS a crime when the office holder is involved. Secondly, your statement is redundant. “the media and the Dems” LMAO. What’s the difference? The DNC sends the talking points out to the media lackeys every morning. Third, he was peddling the “illusion” of influence, according to the media and the Dems. That’s fraud, and its a crime.
But then again, you think Hunter was “strapped” in a year for which he owes hundreds of thousands in taxes. He needed a $4k loan from daddy. And you buy that.
You act like a petulant child, both in choosing to believe only what you want, and in crying “but what about so and so”. It’s weak sauce. Surely you can do better.
Federal prosecutors wanted to prosecute Hunter in 2020 but Weiss hesitated because he was concerned charging Hunter during his dad’s campaign would be perceived as a political witch hunt during the campaign,
Which defense are yu sticking with? Hunter has nothing to do with Politics? Because then the idiocy of the your assertion is epic.
Or are you claiming Hunter and Biden are joined at the hip in all the business dealings
Honestly how to you keep up with your own lies . . .oops, I keep pointing them out to you. You cant keep your lies straight
William “Mr. Deep Deep State” Barr was appointed by the aforementioned Deep Deep State through its proxy, the U.S. Senate.
President Eisenhower referred to it as the “military/industrial complex.”
Some have recently begun to reference it as “The Regime.”
It’s global and it’s communist, meaning that the constitutional rights, freedoms, privileges, and immunities of American citizens are nullified and the “dictatorship of the hired help” holds dominion.
Americans are free to pay more than half their income in taxes to effect Karl Marx’s motto: “From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs,” under central planning, control of the means of production (unconstitutional regulation), redistribution of wealth, and social engineering.
DM the ObamaBot is a fraud and deceiver presented for consumption by fools and idiots.
Just for the record, David Weiss was appointed in 2019 by AG Barr to go after Hunter because he and DJT knew Joe Biden
The entire comment is nothing but mind reading and wish casting. Not tethered to anything factual
When can we expect the FARA charges in D.C. courts? That was the other place Weiss was shut down.
LEfty, that is the big move that the DOJ made, or should I say didn’t make. It’s the dog in the night that didn’t bark.
@Lefty,
Considering that Hunter had been on a couple of these boards until recently… I don’t think FARA has gone past the statute of limitations.
Lets get real for a second…
The charging of Hunter stops Hunter from being asked questions behind closed doors where as if he wasn’t being charged… he couldn’t plead the 5th.
While it boxes Joe in… it also helps him.
I’d consider this a potential shot across the bow in an attempt to get Joe to not run.
The interesting thing… if Joe runs and loses (most likely outcome) he can pardon Hunter and James as he leaves office. He won’t be charged because he’ll claim he’s too senile to stand trial. So the odds of Hunter seeing the inside of a jail is unlikely.
-G
where as if he wasn’t being charged… he couldn’t plead the 5th.
Sorry, but that is patently untrue. A persons right to be free from self incrimination does not begin when he is “charged”. Any admission of any crime in sworn testimony to Congress could absolutely be used against him in ANY FUTURE prosecutions.
This is precisely why Archer changed his testimony, after intimating that it was Hunter who told him that it was Joe that they called from Dubai.
As Hunter’s partner, he would have been implicating himself in the Bribery scheme. Instead he claimed it was Vadym that told him, and that the Bidens “kept him in the dark” intentionally, so that he could have “plausible deniability”.
Time and again, the Biden apologists here act like intellectual paraplegics, and “oh, thats not evidence cuz its not illegal” crap. The whole Archer interview reeked of this kind of doublespeak. Time and again his lawyer interrupted because “we agreed this would not be asked”, so that Archer wouldn’t have to plead the 5th. Why is that you ask??? Don’t ask, or you’ll loose your intellectual legs like Svelaz and Dennis.
Threaten that c*cksucking Archer with charges and offer him blanket immunity, and watch him SQUEAL. Same for Gilliar, Schwerin, Bobulinski, Holtzman and Amos Hochstein.
Mr. Turley, please make some attempt to correct your abysmal English grammar:
None of this would have happened if Judge Noreika DID NOT ASK a very simple question about the plea agreement and a sweeping immunity provision buried in its language.
Had you had any sense of the English language, this sentence would have read:
None of this would have happened if Judge Noreika HAD NOT ASKED a very simple question about the plea agreement and a sweeping immunity provision buried in its language.
Congratulations! You’ve earned our coveted “Pedant of the Day” award.
Anonymous vs Turley;
truth and experience favors Turley…
He doesn’t read this blog, and no one here cares.
Justified. I did a double-take on the sentence also.
“Had you had”
Nice, grammar boy.
That Hunter is becoming expendable is likely a huge threat to Joe Biden since Hunter knows exactly how Joe was involved and how he has benefited. But of course, Joe can pardon Hunter, if they can now accelerate the trial so that Hunter is convicted before Joe is defeated in the election.
@EV,
No, a pardon for Hunter prior to the election would be political suicide.
Everyone would know that Joe is guilty as sin and pardoned Hunter out of self preservation.
He won’t pardon Hunter until he’s leaving office. (The only way he could win in 2024 is if the election was rigged.)
And if he’s too senile… Doktor Jill will do it for him.
-G
While many recognize the corruption, the President can and will pardon his son after all is said and done because it is in his power to do so. If individuals find this action to pardon someone for these crimes rather than a relative or other individuals, then change the law. President Biden can even pardon himself if need be. If Biden retires from office, take a look at what he will retire with; that is a lot of financial perks each year for life. Most will say well, at least he is gone and does not even think of the rewards granted yearly to carry on with corruption as usual at the taxpayer’s expense. The old saying crime does not pay is grossly wrong, especially in politics; it pays exceptionally well.
Speaker Johnson should have the House pass a bill prohibiting POTUS from pardoning anyone 100 days before leaving office.
It may flush out a few like John Dean.
The constitution puts no limits on presidential pardons the house can not just change the constitution
There is a lengthy process
An interesting note. The 4 thousand and something dollar “loan” payments from Hunter to Joe have been defended by some here, including the brilliant analyst, Dennis. Possibly a necessary loan from Joe to Hunter, so he could buy a Ford F-150 Raptor (an $80k truck, btw) because he was financially distressed in 2018. Now we see that he owed a couple hundred thousand in TAXES from 2018, so it sounds like he was doing pretty well that year.
Every day it gets harder to defend the indefensible, yet they just keep on “truckin'”
The motive for California suddenly getting interested in the law, is to add one more brick on the back of a collapsing Joe Biden in order to bring forth Galloping Gavin “Don’t believe your lying eyes” Newsom to run against Trump.
California “justice” is just as corrupt as the rest of the blue states. When is the last time you have heard of a California looter being arrested?
OT: Not that long ago, ATS and other leftists claimed that John Solomon shouldn’t be listened to. He founded Just the News and has been said to be the leading provider of news about Hunter Biden from the beginning. The left libeled him because of his news reports revealing the truth, while other reporters eager to gratify themselves with the left shied away. He was one of the biggies involving Russia and Ukraine and has a lot of great history behind him. Here is today’s article.
https://justthenews.com/accountability/political-ethics/joe-biden-vowed-crack-down-tax-cheats-his-doj-just-charged-his-son?utm_source=daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter
“ATS and other leftists claimed that John Solomon shouldn’t be listened to.”
Of course they do. Solomon’s accurate reporting blow’s up their entire world.
Solomon also uncovered evidence that the $2M tax payment that Morris made for Hunter was an unreported campaign contribution, to avoid the “personal and political damage” it would do to the Bidens, in the middle of the 2020 campaign.
I want people to recognize how ATS and others slimed Solomon and JTN in the past just like they slime anyone they disagree with. They lie and hide themselves under Anonymous when they are not recognized by their alias.
It demonstrates how untrustworthy and dishonest they are.
You often post anonymously. It demonstrates how untrustworthy and dishonest you are.

S. Meyer,
I just got done reading that very article and was even going to post it here on the good professor’s blog as additional information.
Great minds!
Your article proves the “leftists” right. Inaccurate reporting and sourcing in the VERY FIRST SENTENCE.
The first sentence: “Joe Biden made cracking down on tax-cheating millionaires a centerpiece of his presidency…”
It links to Biden’s State of the Union address on the topic.
How many times in that speech did he refer to “millionaires”?
Zero. He spoke about billionaires.
But, because it didn’t fit Solomon’s narrative, his summary inaccurately summarized the speech. What kind of “news reporting” CHANGES THE FACTS to fit the desired narrative?
Is that a source you think you can trust?
But I am guessing 99% of people reading this drivel do not care to check the hyperlinked sources to verify the accuracy of Solomon’s “reporting.” Did you?
So Biden’s a moron, or a f*cking liar, so what? How many Billionaires are there in the US. Do you think it takes 85,000 armed agents to go after them?
We all know what Biden meant….except you.
You missed the point.
A “news” organization that hyperlinks for support to a source, which does not support the purported factual information offered, is committing journalistic malpractice. This has nothing to do with the content of the article…
No, you missed the point. Biden wasn’t talking about billionaires. Soloman is right.
Even your nit-picking is without merit.
The hyperlinks take people to where he got the information which is mostly raw data. You are a moron focusing on your personal opinion of what is or isn’t a centerpiece. That was typical of ATS as well.
Tell us the data about Hunter that is untrue.
“Financial gains of households worth $100 Million or more” That is millionaires. You are a dummy.
As I said originally we are dealing with liars, stupidity, and dishonesty. Go back to your bottle or half inflated basketballs. Sleep it off.
Perhaps you have trouble with reading comprehension.
The hyperlink within the Solomon article was to President Biden’s State of the Union address.
The hyperlink was used to justify the claim that President Biden wanted to go after millionaires with a larger IRS workforce. However, the State of the Union address never once mentioned that.
Hunter Biden has nothing to do with the post.
“The hyperlink was used to justify the claim that President Biden wanted to go after millionaires with a larger IRS workforce.”
That’s your take on it. Does he say “as evidenced here” or “in this address”. No. He said “a centerpiece of his presidency”. The state of the union is evidence that adding 85,000 agents was Bidens goal. Biden lied and said it was about billionaires. You don’t need 85,000 MORE agents to go after billionaires.
Nevertheless, the hyperlink IS justification of that claim that Biden was going after millionaires as well, because its OBVIOUS to anyone that Biden was lying about who he was going after. He never said Biden used the word millionaire. The implication is that Biden was lying and was adding….how many was that again???
EIGHTY FIVE F*CKING THOUSAND to go after millionaires.
And I would add that that’s not all he’s after. We all know for whom it’s easiest to cheat on taxes. Small Business owners. That’s who he and the Dems hate. Because they don’t fund campaigns or line pockets.
None of these theatrics mean that Hunter will serve a single minute of jail time. The prosecution is still in his pocket. Only the impeachment and conviction of Merrick Garland would serve as notice that the DOJ isn’t to be a political arm of the party in power.
They are getting all the charges out on the table then pa pa Joe can give him a blanket pardon before his term runs out.
I agree Old Man, Leave some Meat on the Bone for after the Election.
@Old Man,
You do realize that you don’t have to be charged before you can be pardoned. The pardon has to be made after the criminal act occurred.
I mean you can’t go and get a pardon for shooting someone before you shot them, but you can get a pardon for shooting someone even though you haven’t yet been arrested for the crime.

In a tragic kind of way it is interesting and fascinating if it were not the fact the BCF has turned the US into a banana republic.
I will watch with great interest, knowing nothing will happen even with enormous body of evidence.
The smoke screen to hide the ‘Lusitania’ from Walther Schweiger’s periscope.
From an old soldier’s point of view, DOJ’s decision to file new charges against Hunter Biden is Lunch Box Joe’s equivalent of calling “broken arrow” to save his presidency.
Looking forward to forensic audits of ALL politicians who became multi-millionaires on six figure salaries.
What office did Hunter hold?
Senatorial bagman
Exactly!
Apparently, VPOTUS by proxy.
The Office of Bag Man for the BCF, enriching the entire family through corruption.
You’re right, Hunter didn’t hold office.
But his daddy did and he aided and abetted Hunter’s criminal activity.
