Hunter indictment designed specifically to avoid Joe Biden
nypost.com
9 Dec 2023 ~~ By Jonathan Turley
The 56-page indictment of Hunter Biden for tax evasion makes for racy reading, with the special counsel describing a four-year criminal pattern directed at maintaining Bidenâs âextravagant lifestyle.â
That lifestyle included massive expenses for strippers, sex clubs, fast cars and other distractions.
The steps taken by Hunter to evade taxes are impressive, but not nearly as impressive as the efforts of the Justice Department to evade any direct implications for his father, President Biden.
In that sense, the indictment itself is a marvel of evasion.
There are three glaring omissions in the indictment that tend to shield critical payments and conduct that implicate the president.
The Burisma-Ukrainian money
First, the special counsel only indicts tax evasion that occurred in recent years.
Thatâs because the long âinvestigationâ into Hunter inexplicably allowed the statute of limitations to expire on the most controversial payments from Ukraine gas company Burisma.

Hunter the foreign agent
Also missing in the indictment is any charge against Hunter Biden as an unregistered foreign agent.
Recently, the Justice Department added a charge to the indictment of Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) that he ran afoul of FARA, the Foreign Agents Registration Act. FARA also was used to go after Donald Trump associates such as Paul Manafort.
The problem with charging Hunter with FARA is obvious.
It opens up questions about the millions of dollars going to the Biden family from foreign sources, a topic that Attorney General Merrick Garland has spent years avoiding.
~Snip~
The unindicted co-conspirator
By focusing on tax evasion alone, Weiss again avoids any direct reference to the focus of the influence-peddling used to raise these millions of dollars.
Even without mentioning the president, the implications of the indictment are devastating for the narrative and denials of Joe Biden.
The president has continued to maintain that he had no knowledge or interaction with these dealings. Those statements are clearly and knowingly false.
~Snip~
nstead, Weiss indicts the failure to pay taxes on the proceeds of these dealings without addressing that underlying corruption.
It is akin to arresting a bank robber for speeding away from the crime scene without mentioning the reason for his flight.
Commentary:
Doesn't it seem strange that Hunter, only a few months ago, got a âsugar-coatedâ plea deal from the same prosecutor? Now he's being indicted for Tax evasion. Strange?
Certainly that many of you are as annoyed as I am with the volume of illegal activity from Biden family and a variety of Democrat corruption has resulted in ZERO actual punishment. Elected republicans, talk radio hosts and conservative publications for years have complained and expose reprehensible Democratic cover ups, yet nothing has happened to any of them. At the same time President Trump was impeached twice, lost a questionable election, indicted 4 times, free speech is denied conservatives on college campus's, a duly elected House of Representative conservative was kicked out of congress, and on and on it goes. Our conservative passive approach to all issues needs to be changed !!
The indictment of Hunter is a ploy to stall the house investigation estimation because it's contents will be debated at trial and fix the house race when it does go to trial Weiss will bungle it on purpose and do things that Abby Lowell can exploit on purpose and Hunter will walk they will make Lowell into Perry mason and Weiss will be paid off in cash for throwing the case.
Democrats of old must be turning in their graves, yeah some of them were crooks too, but not selling out their country like this current anti American bunch. That none of them are calling out Biden when its plain as the nose on their faces he has been on the take from foreign countries for years. Treasonous. Where are the statesmen who put country above party?
Turley is correct. This shows, the depth and breadth of the corruption within the DOJ, Garland, Weiss, Smith the Bidens, et al. Perfect timing to keep him from the deposition. These charges and more serious ones were there all along.
If his name wasn't Hunter Biden this wouldn't be happening. Joe, Hunter, James and Frank would all be locked up by now.
Many thanks to Jonathan Turley for specifying the precision used by Weiss/Garland to avoid implicating their hero Joey.
Comer will explicitly specify Joey's critical role behind the millions received for no discernable products sent or services rendered. Sorry, but what person or country would ship millions of dollars to a drug-addled guy with no discernible personal influence or expertise?
