Hunter Biden to plead guilty of two minor crimes (tax and a gun) Two year probation likely

[berg80]

They didn't charge him with illegal disposal of a weapon. Once he bought that gun, he was responsible for what happens to it afterwards.

That is funny, cuz that is what gun control advocates have been saying for years. But the gun lobby has successfully prevented laws making people like Hunter responsible for what happens to the gun after purchase.

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.

Sources: Secret Service inserted itself into case of Hunter Biden’s gun

The bizarre incident involved a trash can, a man searching for recyclables and, eventually, federal law enforcement.

Yeah.....maybe the FBI can go to the US Postal Service and intercept the documents in the mail before the Republican Committee Chairman gets his grubby paws on them.

oh crap.. I forgot... FBI is weaponized....

The right has been demanding “equal justice” for years now.

It cuts both ways.

More importantly, I don't ever need to hear anything about "gun control" from you, ever again, because now we all know what you really think about it.

LOL!

That is the way plea deals work
You plead guilty to lesser charges in order to get more serious charges dropped

Trump has refused.
He will either be exonerated or some charges will stick.
His choice

Sorry, but this is clearly a ridiculous scenario, and something that the DOJ is well-known for.
They claim they have the goods on you for serious charges and offer you a plea deal to a lessor charge to get you out of trouble.
Most of the time that would work, but in this case Trump has the constitution to back him up, not to mention the possibility that any conviction would be thrown out on appeal anyway. So why cop a plea when you don't have to?

It’s fun to watch Dimwingers defend a rich white guy who doesn’t pay his taxes.

And who commits gun crimes.

This is EXTREMELY valuable new information about the left. Worth it, IMO.

Yes, Hunter Biden, you know, the SUBJECT OF THIS POST.
No, I do not support him at all. He broke the law, he was caught, and now he will pay the penalty.

 

[konradv]

You go ahead an lie on a federal gun form....I defy you.

It really isn’t that serious anymore. MAGA gun rights advocates in Congress made sure of it.

 

[Marener]

Did Crackhead pay taxes on that gift?

What taxes?

Oooh probation. You'd have gone to prison.

What a loon

Pull the door panels off Joe's Corvette, see how much cash is stored inside.

I'm not sure where you stand on this, but if you're making fun of the NRA, it's not working.
Reading the story you posted...it appears that the Secret Service attempted to confiscate the ATF 4473 form that Hunter filled out.

He didn't pay his taxes, he was caught, and now he will pay. Give it up already. Justice has been served.

 

[Magnus]

Geez. Hunter Biden is prosecuted for crimes and conservatives STILL are pissed.

You can’t please these assholes.

But...but...Laptop!!!

Their guy gets away with cheating on taxes, scamming students, ripping off charities, etc but Hunter only has to pay a fine for taxes charges?! Unfair!!!

 

[iku]

Oooh probation. You'd have gone to prison.

What a loon

That is a two tier justice system. If you have a problem with it (as I do and I have been perfectly clear on this) I suggest you do something about it.

 

[Resnic]

That’s it?
I was fooled by my fellow conservatives who made it seem as if he had committed big crimes.

“
President Biden’s son Hunter has reached a tentative agreement with federal prosecutors to plead guilty to two minor tax crimes and admit to the facts of a gun charge under terms that would likely keep him out of jail, according to court papers filed Tuesday.
Any proposed plea deal would have to be approved by a federal judge, and it was not immediately clear what day Hunter Biden, 53, might appear in court to enter his guilty plea.
The agreement caps an investigation that was opened in 2018 during the Trump administration, and has generated intense interest and criticism since 2020 from Republican politicians who accused the Biden administration of reluctance to pursue the case. The terms of the proposed deal — negotiated with Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, a holdover from President Donald Trump’s administration — are likely to face similar scrutiny.

The court papers indicate the younger Biden has tentatively agreed to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges of failure to pay in 2017 and 2018. The combined tax liability is roughly $1.2 million over those years, according to people familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity to describe details of the agreement that are not yet public. Prosecutors plan to recommend a sentence of probation for those counts, these people said. Biden’s representatives have said he previously paid back the IRS what he owed.”

Then you're a fool for actually thinking anything less than a slap on the wrist would happen.

It doesn't matter who said what about what he has done, we all know what his dad's party is capable and willing to do and that their people are entrenched everywhere. We all knew this would turn into absolutely nothing at all. They will not let anything happen.

Taking care of a deadbeat dopehead moron compared to what they do normally is nothing to them.

 

[Nostra]

What taxes?

Crackhead is required to report that as income, Moron.

Do you really think I believe you're nothing other than a left soy?

Then you have nothing to fear.

Go lie on one of those forms today....STFU and put your freedom where your big mouth is.
