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

[Marener]

Do you have proof of this, or are you trying to ignore the fact that the DOJ jumped the gun on this?

What do you mean they “jumped the gun”?

Trump’s lawyers stated they searched everything and had turned over every document for the subpoena which had a deadline.

 

[mudwhistle]

The prosector, a Trump appointee; said the penalties were in line with other cases, if there was more to it, wouldn’t he have said so? More draconian punishments would have thrown out on appeal anyway, if they didn’t correspond to that of other similar cases.

Yeah....Trump appointees never lie.

So why the raid?

 

[JoeB131]

So 1.2 million tax evasion is now a minor crime?

What a world

Actually, that's how most tax cases are resolved.

The government doesn't want high earners to go to jail. They want them to keep paying. Duh.

 

[marvin martian]

You posted this same statement like 20 times. Are you a BOT from Central Texas?

Hunter paid the price, let this sleeping dog lie. Biden family deserves your respect. That is Joes son and Joe is the ELECTED President.
This nation has to heal and your inflammatory rhetoric is not good for healing.

If the "price" for ignoring and breaking federal firearms laws (like the possible "assault weapons" ban Biden is trying to pass) is a misdemeanor no one cares about, I'm very, very happy with that, and now I see that you are, too!

Welcome to the conservative patriot side!

 

[konradv]

Why did you edit my post?
I specifically said no jail with a Guilty plea then if you clowns really want to elect a criminal to office then so be it

I just want trump to admit his guilt.

I hope you reported him. Expect more of this. The MAGAmorons are going crazier over Hunter than the possibility of national secrets being compromised!

 

[marvin martian]

Actually, sounds about right. He paid the fines and admitted his mistakes.

Wow. Sounds like accountability to me.

The better news is now we know you (and the rest of the left) really don't care about people breaking/ignoring federal firearms laws. This is very good news in light of Biden's attempts to institute a ban on "assault weapons". Now we can just tell him (and you) to go **** himself!

LOL

Hunter Biden waits for the start of the his father's debate at Centre College in Danville, Ky in 2012. | Pablo Martinez

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.
The Secret Service says it has no record of its agents investigating the incident, and Joe Biden, who was not under protection at the time, said through a spokesperson he has no knowledge of any Secret Service involvement.

Don’t have a clue what you’re talking about, but that’s true of a lot of MAGA nonsense.

Quite the opposite. We now know you (and the rest of the left) don't have a problem with people ignoring/breaking federal firearms laws. This is extremely good news in light of Biden's upcoming "assault weapons" ban. Now we can just tell all of you to go **** yourselves!

I am one better than that
Hunter learned a lesson. Will he repeat his mistakes? Time will tell.

Hume is a shill for the Deep State.
He's never liked Trump, and of course he's gonna trash him.
Deep State

trump's mouth is his worst enemy. But he can't help it. Sort of like a three year old touching a stove. It is just something he has to do.

 

[HaShev]

That's good. Get him.

Just like Martha Stewart was hammering on she did not do it to the press, she was convicted on those charges.

So will Trump.

Didn't Martha do what Pelosi did?
I guess that answers Nancy's comment that "nobody is above the law" - except the queen of Curb Poop city

 

[konradv]

Yeah....Trump appointees never lie.

Lie about what? Sentencing guidelines and sentences given are matters of public record. Why would a sane man lie and risk his law license? He isn’t Donald Trump.

 

[mudwhistle]

 

[Marener]

So why the raid?

Because the DoJ was suspicious that they were being lied to by Trump and obtained enough evidence to get a search warrant.

And they were right. They were being lied to.

 

[Rawley]

The prosector, a Trump appointee; said the penalties were in line with other cases, if there was more to it, wouldn’t he have said so? More draconian punishments would have thrown out on appeal anyway, if they didn’t correspond to that of other similar cases.

You guys seem to think "a Trump appointee" somehow cleanses the rank politicization. It doesn't. Five years - no indictment, two misdemeanors and a diversion.

 

[citygator]

Bwahahahahahaha. Trump appointed attorney ends 5 year investigation with misdemeanor charges. My Jedi powers feel millions of GOP screams. I dont usually love others pain and suffering but in this case...

 

[struth]

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.”

Wow...talk about corrupt....how in the world was this handled by his own father's DOJ? Talk about two justice systems

 

[Dante Reawakened]

MAGA was hoping for the death penalty. Anything less is a miscarriage of justice. As the trump trisl begins, he may also work out a deal.....NAW....JUST KIDDING. trump never makes mistakes.

No one (Leading GOPers and Magadonians) is addressing how the plea deal Hunter made, is different than those of others in his situation.

 

[mak2]

Wow...talk about corrupt....how in the world was this handled by his own father's DOJ? Talk about two justice systems

Trump had it first. Who's DOJ would you perfer?

 

[Dante Reawakened]

Others that committed the same crimes ended up in federal prison. It's a joke. A travesty of justice.

Only criminals caught in a web of misdeeds. Most people in the same situation walk , plea, get slapped on the wrist.
