Hunter Biden can duck the hot seat all he wants — but not the facts
The New York Post ^ | December 13, 2023 | Miranda Devine

Unfortunately for the Bidens, just hours before Hunter’s press conference, the transcript of the latest testimony of Ziegler and Shapley was published by the House Ways and Means Committee.

Ziegler is a registered Democrat and is regarded as the most talented criminal investigator in the IRS team described as the “SEAL Team 6” of international tax-fraud investigations.

His supervisor, Shapley, is a registered Republican and equally well-regarded, having managed some of the largest cases in IRS history, and recovered more than $3.5 billion for the US taxpayer.

Georgia Rep. Terri Sewell (D-Ga.) stepped on the first landmine when she asked the knowledgeable pair to point to any evidence “that directly prove[s] that Joe Biden has done something illegal, yes or no?”

Shapley replied: “There is evidence that exists.”

Sewell, flustered: “I just — it is yes or no.”

Shapley: “Yes, there is.”

“So in exhibit 1I, Hunter Biden states in his email that his original agreement –”

Sewell cut him off, but soon enough Ziegler was allowed to complete his answer, citing three pieces of evidence.

An email to an executive of Chinese energy firm CEFC, on Aug. 2, 2017, in which Hunter states the deal “me and my family” had with CEFC was “for introductions alone [at] a rate of $10 million per year for three years [for a] guarantee[d] total of $30 million.”

A WhatsApp message three days earlier, July 30, 2017, in which Hunter demands a CEFC executive pay up or else: “I am sitting here with my father”. An email two months earlier to Hunter from one of his partners in their joint venture with CEFC, suggesting an equity split between four partners of 20% each, with an extra 10% for Hunter’s uncle Jim Biden and 10% “held by H for the big guy.”

Note that there hasn't been Word One from the notoriously grabby California Franchise Tax Board.

If this had been a Trump sibling? 24-7 nonstop bleating from those grifters.

Apparently Miranda missed us being admonished about “facts”. branDUHn told us that if it comes down to choosing “truth” or “facts”, they’ll choose “truth”. May have even been in the same time frame of branDUHn reminding us that those pesky BOR amendments aren’t absolute. (2nd amendment) So if that is the “truth”, I suppose no one would be upset if someone were to infringe on, oh say, the 13th or 19th amendments? The democommies are constantly messing with the beneficiaries of the 13th so........................

Miranda brilliantly exposed Hunter as a notorious whoring cokeheaded alcoholic.

Hunter has now become unhinged......I guess it runs in the family. Read on.

<><>Says “he might have to flee the country if Trump is reelected,”
<><>gives voters even more reason to vote Trump.
<><>Hunter’s elderly father is desperately worried about his “surviving son”

HUNTER GOES TOTALLY WEIRDO: ‘What they’re trying to do is they’re trying to kill me, knowing that it will be a pain greater than my father could be able to handle — and so therefore destroying a presidency in that way,’ he said on a podcast.


Somebody call the men in the white coats, please. This guy needs professional help ASAP.

Nor any other state tax authorities.

Thirty years ago I had to hire a lawyer to get the CA FTB a-holes off me. The lawyer cost me a grand, but I paid zero to the CA People’s Republic.

Been in FL ever since. Best move of my life.
