You can point to Hunter Biden all you want, the FBI are going to drag their feet until time runs out and Hunter will not be charged. But it is full steam ahead with getting Trump with a felony to stop him from running again.
Democrat...
That is all
Don’t count on the GOPe!
Bump!
Just follow the earlier..... profitable.....Obama/Biden connection:
<><> Hunter, falling up as usual, just "happened" to became a “founding partner” in the lobbying firm of Oldaker, Biden and Belair in 2002.
<><> William Oldaker was Daddy Biden’s former fundraiser, campaign treasurer and general counsel — a Beltway Democratic dating back to Teddy Kennedy’s 1980 presidential bid.
<><> Under Oldaker’s tutelage, Hunter lobbied for drug companies, universities and other deep-pocketed clients to the tune of nearly $4 million billed to the company by 2007.
Just a coincidence, of course: then-Sen Obama personally requested and secured cozy taxpayer-subsidized earmarks for several of Hunter’s lobbying clients.
According to Criminal Law, did Hunter Biden commit Federal Crimes by using government aircraft and property, and tax-paid personnel for his own (and others) financial gain?
Theft of Government funds is considered a white collar federal crime commonly associated with allegations of identity theft. Typically, an individual is accused of fraudulently petitioning the Federal government in some capacity for a tax return or other type of Federal money they are not entitled to.
Charges of this variety generally follow a long investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in concert with a white collar crime task force of a local law enforcement agency.
In our experience, more often than not a standard 18 USC 371 conspiracy charge is alleged as well, gathering a number of individuals as defendants and operating to increase the potential intended loss amount and thereby increasing a potential penalty faced by each alleged conspirator. As is with any theft allegation, the larger the amount of money alleged to have been taken, the higher the potential penalty.
Like all Federal criminal matters, it is imperative to hire the right criminal lawyer with experience in the Federal system. Frankly, this decision could mean the difference between a lengthy prison sentence or an acquittal. (h/t Mayberry Law Firm)
Did the official government employee signing off on Hunter Biden using federal government property and tax -paid personnel for financial gain commit a crime?

Ditto.
Revolution 2.0 is the only thing that will fix this and I'm not sure it will ever happen.
No worries on that.
