The Hunter Biden Tax Indictment Is a Disaster for the White House
www.nationalreview.com
8 Dec 2023 ~~ By Andrew McCarthy
If you’ve been following the Biden saga, the indictment has some neon-flashing problems for the president. All Our Opinion in Your Inbox
NR Daily is delivered right to you every afternoon. No charge. There are several astonishing things about the 56-page grand-jury indictment filed with nine counts against the president’s son, Hunter Biden, by federal prosecutor David Weiss.
The first is that it’s dizzying.
The indictment is scathing in describing the younger Biden’s unsavory lifestyle, his deep dishonesty, and his willful decision to evade tax liabilities on millions of dollars in income and instead spend the money on escorts, drugs, luxury goods, and the like. Hunter is portrayed as exactly the kind of tax cheat who should be prosecuted. In fact, he appears to be just the sort of elitist scoundrel abominated in the rhetoric of his father and Democrats — privileged, addicted to consumption, producing little of real value, and greedily unwilling to pay his “fair share.”
But here’s the problem: Just four months ago, the same David Weiss tried to bury the same tax case against the same Hunter Biden — offering him a no-jail plea to two puny misdemeanors, a sweetheart deal so out of the ordinary that Weiss’s minions could not answer a judge’s simple questions about it, and that the ever-entitled Hunter’s defense lawyers foolishly blew up over fear of a hypothetical prosecution on tougher charges that Weiss patently had no intention to bring.
~Snip~
If the case were ever to go to trial, it would be very embarrassing for the Biden administration. The indictment’s background allegations get into schemes with various agents of corrupt and anti-American regimes from whom the Biden family business reeled in millions of dollars.
~Snip~
The Biden Justice Department tried to bury this case. Weiss was shamed into indicting it because that gambit imploded — because the whistleblower agents went public, and the investigating House committees (building on the scut work previously done by Senators Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson) proved the jaw-dropping transfers of millions of dollars from shady foreign agents to the Bidens. And now it’s obvious why the administration needed the case buried: Hunter is not the only Biden for whom it is a disaster.
Commentary:
While Mr. Weisss describes Hunter Biden as "a Georgetown, Yale educated, lawyer, lobbyist, consultant, businessman, I see him as a sybaritic, dishonorably discharged, drug-addled, tax evading, fake artist with a bad case of "Spare". Beau Biden was the star of the Biden family, and poor Hunter, in an effort to compete, went totally scorched Earth, even having an affair with Beau's widow. The overall effect here is to degrade the rest of the Georgetown, Yale educated lawyers.
Hunter Biden’s tax evasion reminds me of Al Capone’ tax evasion that brought him down with 11 years in federal prison, fined $50,000 plus $7,692 for court costs, and was held liable for $215,000 plus interest due on his back taxes. Likewise for Hunter, you can run but you can’t hide from the I.R.S. like his daddy said, “it’s time large corporations and the wealthiest Americans pay their fair share.” He will be beaten like a tin drum.
AI search: there is no credible or verified information suggesting that Joe Biden or his son Robert Hunter Biden were registered as a foreign agents between 2017 and 2021
