It Sure Looks Like Hunter Biden and the Biden DOJ Were
Trying to Pull a Fast One on the Judge During Plea Hearing
Red State. ^ | July 26, 2023T | Bonchie

The judge handling Hunter Biden’s plea agreement threw a wrench in the process on Wednesday morning after it became apparent that there were issues with the sweetheart deal.

That revelation came after a night of controversy when someone representing Hunter Biden’s legal team called the court to get an amicus brief removed from the docket. The clerk’s notes indicated some subterfuge was afoot, but after the judge demanded an explanation, Hunter Biden’s lawyers submitted a letter asserting it was a misunderstanding.

As the actual hearing began, the judge was immediately skeptical of what the DOJ and Hunter Biden’s team had worked out. Hunter Biden’s lawyers have proclaimed for weeks that their acceptance of the plea deal brings an end to the five-year investigation into the president’s son, forgoing any further charges. Meanwhile, the DOJ has said publicly that the investigation into Hunter Biden is ongoing.

That led the judge to question whether she would be providing global immunity by allowing the deal to go through. Once she pressed the prosecution, things fell apart.

The Hunter Biden security team dwarfs that of jfk’s in 1963 politically hostile Dallas.

This is a big deal— a reverse cloward piven in the making.

We all dodged a bullet when the Senate refused to consider Garland’s nomination to the USSC! That’s one of McConnell’s good moments.

Wow!

An entirely unsatisfactory compliment to a detailed analysis of their intended cover up and whitewash.

What this so-called plea agreement was is an attempt by Hunter Biden’s lawyers to get a ‘blanket pardon’ without a POTUS being involved, at least on the surface for public consumption.

As usual, the devil’s in the details. The judge caught them in their own trap....................

The IRS whistleblowers testified that two years of Hunter’s tax liabilities were thwarted by investigators until too old (when they could have requested an extension). As a result, 2014-15 were off the table. Surely sounds like a statute of limitations to me.

There is no statute of limitations for nonpayment of taxes or if the IRS suspects fraud.
Shapley and Ziegler previously told Congress that prosecutors intentionally
slowed the Hunter Biden investigation in order for the statute of limitations to
run out on some of the earlier crimes he's been accused of committing.

On Wednesday, Shapley said Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney Davis Weiss,
who oversaw Hunter Biden's case, allowed the statute of limitations to expire
on charges related to income he received while serving on the board of
Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings.

"In November of 2022, the statute of limitations was set to expire for the 2014
and 2015 charges in D.C., which included the 2014 felonies for the attempt to
evade or defeat tax and fraud or false statement regarding Burisma income
earned by Hunter Biden," Shapley said. Newsweek

That's because they haven't charged him with fraud. A quick search will yield numerous sources. Of course that decision is made by the same prosecutors who cut his plea bargain. You or I wouldn't be so lucky.

irs statute of limitations fraud

“It wasn’t an attorney who made the call. It was a staffer. These attorneys know how to cover their ass.”

Actually, it WAS an attorney.

Interesting. Thanks.

The account I read stated it was not an attorney. These stories just keep evolving as the facts are dribbled out.

If she hadnt sold the stock, she would not have been in a position to commit the crimes

Right. And if she had simply remained silent when being questioned by the FBI she would not have been charged.

I’m sure she regrets the incident bigtime.
