On FNC they were discussing that the Judge has the discretion to nix the plea deal and impose normal sentences on Hunter.
My point was that Hunter got off easy on two charges. Other charges are like Manafort, not registering as a foreign lobbyist. Not to mention the extortion.
The DOJ/IRS let the Hunter tax charge for his Burisma cash EXPIRE! How many of us can get that?
Do you even read what you post. Hunter Biden failed to file income tax. That’s not tax evasion. In fact, It is highly unusual for any first time offender who cooperates with the IRS and pays by any taxes owing, and any penalties and fines assessed, to be charged at all.
Paul Manafort was pled guilty to tax evasion. Paul Manafort intentionally lied to the IRS about his income to avoid paying taxes on the money.
The reason Manafort was charged for failing to file as a foreign agent was because its failure to file as a foreign agent of foreign government. Manafort worked for the Ukrainian government. Flynn worked for the Turkish government. You don’t have to file as a “foreign agent” unless you’re working for a foreign government.
Additionally, Paul Manafort pled guilty to lying to the FBI, and giving Republican polling data to a Russian agent. 17 charged in all, including bank and wire fraud.
Hunter Biden didn’t lie to the IRS and he didn’t lie about his income. He didn’t try to evade paying taxes, and cooperated fully with the IRS. He had a medical problem which are mitigating circumstances to his failure to file.
Hunter Biden did not work for any foreign governments and was therefore not required to file notice that he was an agent of a foreign government.
He didn’t lie to his bankers nor did he commit bank and/or wire fraud.
Last, but not least Hunter Biden Publicly and openly work as the Director of a private corporation, for which he was paid money. He filed his taxes and paid his fines and if his last name was anything but Biden, he would never had been charged.
Every time you try to pull this “what aboutism” between stupid shit that Democrats have done to the open and blatant criminal behaviour of members of the Trump administration or the Trump family, you’re going to end up looking like the partisan hack you are.
You see the rest of the world isn’t watching your crazy right wing media or reading your confirmation-bias blogs, and websites.
Instead of looking for facts, you’re looking for cover for the fascism and criminal behaviour of Republicans. Stop apologizing for these incompetent criminals.
