Federal agents see chargeable tax, gun-purchase case against Hunter Biden
The Washington Post ^ | October 6, 2022 | Devlin Barrett, Perry Stein

Posted on 10/06/2022 12:16:56 PM PDT by BradtotheBone

Federal agents investigating President Biden’s son Hunter have gathered what they believe is sufficient evidence to charge him with tax crimes and a false statement related to a gun purchase, according to people familiar with the case. The next step is for the U.S. Attorney in Delaware, a Trump administration holdover, to decide on whether to file such charges, these people said.

The investigation into Hunter Biden began in 2018, and became a central focus for then-president Donald Trump during his unsuccessful 2020 reelection effort. Initially, the investigation centered around Hunter Biden’s finances related to overseas business ties and consulting work. Over time, investigators with multiple agencies focused closely on whether he did not report all of his income, and whether he lied on gun purchase paperwork in 2018, according to the people familiar with the situation, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing case.

Agents determined months ago they had assembled a viable criminal case against the younger Biden. But it is ultimately up to prosecutors at the Justice Department, not agents, to decide whether to file charges in cases where prosecutors believe the evidence is strong enough to lead to a likely conviction at trial.

Given the intense political interest in a criminal probe involving the son of a sitting president, Attorney General Merrick Garland has made clear that the U.S. Attorney in Delaware, David C. Weiss, who was nominated by Trump in late 2017, is supervising the case.

Garland has vowed there will be no political or otherwise improper interference in the Hunter Biden case, and has not moved to push Weiss to make a decision, the people familiar with the matter said. It is not uncommon for Justice Department investigations to take years to finish.

If the Feds of any branch take down Hunter and put him in jail after a trial, his Daddy is on a really short time as Potus.

My not so bold prediction: no charges filed.

When you’re looking at charges that carry a death sentence then tax charges look small.

When the investigation could lead to the collapse of The Biden Crime Family and The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate, then tax charges look small.

If Hunter Biden ever faces any charges for anything, it will mean that pedo Joe won’t be running in 2024.

He’ll get a slap on the wrist; maybe a fine.

Interesting that it is the Washington Post putting it out there but notice the “design” of the story

#1 - state the obvious facts that are publicly known - really nothing new about the Hunter Biden investigation

#2 - focus on a preemptive(?) defense of Garland and DOJ ahead of the “decision”

OK Joe. Time to step in and save Hunter from prosecution. You might contact Bill Clinton to explain how to avoid prosecution as both the Clintons were successful at that.

In your dreams,,,,,no one f-—s with a Biden; according to the President.
Hunter toasted his brain a long time ago from drugs.

Don’t let them fool you! They’re cherry picking the easiest thing that will give those crooked POS a chance for dismissal or a light slap on the wrist! There is just no way in hell the FBI the DOJ and their bought off left wing lawyers and judges are going to convict these crooked evil daemonic POS! The biggest crime is the selling of our country and there’s a lot of evidence on that laptop from hell. But of course they will sweep that under the rug and bring out the lighter charges! Mark my words this will only be a slap on the wrist.

Hunter will no doubt be subject to the same merciless style of persecution as was Billy Carter, for being an agent for Libya when his brother was President.

Nothing will happen. They’re concentrating all their resources on Donald Trump.

The Delaware prosecutor gets fired in 3...2...1...

JOE BIDEN, 23 JANUARY 2018:

And that is I’m desperately concerned about the backsliding on the part of Kiev in terms of corruption.

They made—I mean, I’ll give you one concrete example. I was—not I, but it just happened to be that was the assignment I got. I got all the good ones. And so I got Ukraine.

And I remember going over, convincing our team, our leaders to—convincing that we should be providing for loan guarantees. And I went over, I guess, the 12th, 13th time to Kiev. And I was supposed to announce that there was another billion-dollar loan guarantee. And I had gotten a commitment from Poroshenko and from Yatsenyuk that they would take action against the state prosecutor. And they didn’t.

So they said they had—they were walking out to a press conference. I said, nah, I’m not going to—or, we’re not going to give you the billion dollars. They said, you have no authority. You’re not the president. The president said—I said, call him.

(Laughter.)

I said, I’m telling you, you’re not getting the billion dollars. I said, you’re not getting the billion. I’m going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours. I looked at them and said: I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money.

Well, son of a bitch. (Laughter.) He got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time.

Well, there’s still—so they made some genuine substantial changes institutionally and with people. But one of the three institutions, there’s now some backsliding.

Exactly! This is to prepare to give the vegetable a clean slate when the Republicans start attacking him over the laptop from hell! If they bring the charges now and he gets only a slap on the wrist then they can crow about it and say he has already paid his due to society. Let’s move on nothing to see here mantra….all the while conservatives are being persecuted and thrown in jail, swatted, unfair court hearings etc. etc. you name it while those pieces of chit, ala that *itch from hell Hitlery, are going to walk!. It’s about creating a clean slate for the bastards before the 2024 election.

OBTW… they will be doing this before the Republicans get the majority and start their own investigation in Congress! Everything is planned they’re not stupid the rats are evil! It’s all about getting him cleared before the Republicans take office and expose all the corruption from the FBI all the way to the Pentagon all the way to kingdom come! These are evil evil people and they know how to fight to keep the truth from being exposed! Don’t forget Satan is there daddy!
