The Justice Department is investigating Hunter Biden for foreign lobbying violations related to his overseas business dealings - likely in places such as China, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan - in addition to scrutinizing his taxes, according to a new report.
Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss is known to be leading a federal investigation into President Joe Biden's adult son, who denies any wrongdoing, and the New York Times reported Wednesday that the investigation, which began as “a tax inquiry” during the Obama administration, then “widened” in 2018 to encompass “possible criminal violations of tax laws, as well as foreign lobbying and money laundering rules, according to the people familiar with the inquiry.”
The report said Hunter Biden’s “extensive work with foreign businesses came under scrutiny from prosecutors looking into whether he should have registered with the Justice Department” under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. Hunter Biden held a lucrative position on the board of Ukrainian energy giant Burisma when his father was vice president. He also pursued business deals in China, Kazakhstan, and elsewhere during and after his father’s tenure.
The New York Times report, while citing its unnamed sources, said prosecutors face “hurdles” in demonstrating that the president’s son “intentionally violated” FARA. The outlet reported that prosecutors “have discussed approaching potential FARA violations as a civil matter, which would require Mr. Biden to register retroactively as a foreign agent, but would avoid criminal charges.”

Biden is a lawyer. You can expect him to wriggle out from even Federal laws...
This is how they will force Brandon out. They know the papertrail will to him. Evidently his handlers have decided the time of him being a useful idiot is drwaing to a close.
Sounds more like they are green lighting his future grift. Have to make sure he can get in on all the U.S. reconstruction aid dad will soon be giving Ukraine. A lot of "international NGOs" lining up as we speak.
“prosecutors “have discussed approaching potential FARA violations as a civil matter, which would require Mr. Biden to register retroactively as a foreign agent, but would avoid criminal charges.”
Funny, they never offered that to General Flynn
L
Incredible.
And heartbreaking.
But NOT shocking
They are letting Bidon know that he can’t run in 2024. If are using his son to signal that he will only be a one term President.
Wouldn’t it be great if Russia prosecuted Hunter and jailed him in Russia. Joe cannot pardon him there. Hunter may really get justice just not in America.
More proof of the two systems of law we now have.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, wait this isn’t Babylon Bee?

Democrats project, then if thay fails, then partial, limited hangout until the media forgives and forgets.
Maybe we got it all wrong.
What if Potatohead Joe isn’t the Big Guy?
Maybe it is Joe’s Boss, Puppeteer. George?
Barack.
That still leaves them with the "Harris-Pelosi" problem. The choices are only senile octogenarians or an idiot.
Investigate, like with his hands over his eye.........”I see nothing wrong”
DOJ investigated Biden and found nothing so lets stop bringing it up /s
Harris will be caretaker for a short while and some new rat nominee will run in 2024.
They will find it’s not worth prosecuting, just like with the hillary email server.
All show.
“After a lengthy, thorough investigation, including hundreds of interviews and multiple subpoenas, we have found that some mistakes were made but do not reach the criminal level. Therefore, this investigation is over and we will not be taking any questions.”
“This is how they will force Brandon out. They know the papertrail will to him. Evidently his handlers have decided the time of him being a useful idiot is drwaing to a close.”
But there’s a useful idiot on-deck.
Don’t get me wrong, their plan was always: give Joe 2 years, give Harris 2 years so they’d get to have the 1st woman president, and have an incumbent to run in 2024, but she’s turned into such a terrible disappointment for them.
I’m not sure they’re ready to turn over the reigns yet.
