What has Hunter Biden been accused of, and what comes next?
Independent via Yahoo ^ | 10/06/22 | John Bowden

Posted on 10/07/2022 2:48:57 AM PDT by Libloather

The Washington Post reported stunning news on Thursday - federal investigators believe they have a chargeable case against Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden.

Even more interestingly, they have felt that the case is sufficient to go to court for the past several months, according to the Post.

**SNIP**

What about those other accusations from the GOP?

The scope of the Post’s report does not even begin to touch on all the various crimes GOP politicians, including most notably Donald Trump, have laid at the feet of Hunter Biden for years.

Republicans have long alleged that a so-called “laptop from hell” - a computer thought to have been once owned by Hunter Biden - contains evidence that Mr Biden was involved in his son’s foreign business affairs as vice president. Separately, they’ve also allegd that those business practices themselves were illegitimate.

As a result, far-right members of the GOP like Marjorie Taylor Greene have alleged that the result has been Joe Biden being “blackmailed” over the contents of the laptop. Ms Greene personally has alleged that both Ukraine and Russia, two opposing sides of a brutal war in eastern Europe, are blackmailing the president.

Those claims of blackmail and a supposedly compromised president are Ms Greene’s rationale for five separate articles of impeachment she has filed since taking office.

What happens next?

If Mr Biden’s son is charged with a crime, it likely won’t happen before November, given the DOJ’s hesitance to make politically-charged moves before elections. It will likely come over the next two years, as Mr Biden prepares for a potential reelection bid in 2024 and braces for inevitable GOP attacks centred on his son’s troubles.

Guns and taxes. So close but no ceegar. My guess - Brandon has been taking bribes for many moons. And the FIB may actually be involved. Oh, and Hussein knew the whole time. This is a total diversion.

lol, at most some trivial case will be brought, he’ll pay a small fine, and the matter will be treated as completely closed. It’s childish to think DOJ is finally gonna get him. This is a damage control op.

And this of course will “prove” they are unbiased when they bring a grand case against Trump and his kids.

Not falling for this crap

You are correct, Hunter will plea deal, pay small fine and records will be sealed “ to protect innocent people”.

NOTHING will happen to a Biden. Or any other Democrat, for that matter. NOTHING.

“. . . the DOJ’s hesitance to make politically-charged moves before elections.”


I call BS on this. Not only has the DOJ made politically charged moves before elections (FBI excusing Hillary), but they assume there is a relationship between justice and the political calendar. True justice does not have an eye toward any political calendar. There is a raft of characters in DC who ought to be charged and prosecuted post haste, irrespective of seasons.

How much of this do y’all wanna bet is the Deep State putting pressure on Biden not to run again in 2024? How much you wanna bet that if he announces he’s not going to run again after all, any charges against Hunter magically go away?

“It SHOULD be a RICO case, but it's only JAYWALKING!”

We all know that in this Post-Constitutional United States, with our tiered just-us system, there is one class of people completely above the law. The upper tier of the Democrat Party. I think it is called, Sovereign Immunity or Crown Immunity.

What’s next?

Nothing.

Maybe a press conference declining to prosecute for “lack of intent.”

Anyone with a brain knew there was a case against Hunter years ago along with his Dad... the brain dead guy.

Problem is, nothing will ever happen and even if it did Brandon would pardon him anyway.

The FBI is involved in covering this up any way possible.

the article by John Bowden is ridiculous. written as if he knows nothing on the laptop about Hunter’s deals with China, Ukraine, etc etc.

not surprising tho. check Bowden’s page at The Independent - it’s just obsessive anti-Trump all over every article...and I can’t even find the Hunter article on the page.

“This is a total diversion.”

Sort of like making a big production of charging a bank robber for exceeding the speed limit while fleeing with the money and allowing him to keep the cash.

Rat Party Headquarters is clearly in charge here. This is all meant to protect The Big Guy and/or to endanger DJT. It will protect The Big Guy by keeping Hunter away from anything resembling a trial and it could endanger DJT by the Department of Just Us saying “see,we're even handed...we're going after Hunter *and* Trump.We don't do politics here at the Department of Just Us”.
