Special counsel David Weiss' office has rebuffed the claim from Hunter Biden's attorneys that the federal tax charges facing the president's son represent a "selective and vindictive," politically-motivated prosecution, according to a series of legal filings submitted Friday.
Weiss' office slammed claims that the charges were fueled by politics and were pursued to appease Republicans, calling the assertion "conspiratorial" and "nothing more than a house of cards."
"Former President Trump is not the President of the United States," prosecutors argued in the court filings. "The defendant fails to explain how President Biden or the Attorney General, to whom the Special Counsel reports, or the Special Counsel himself, or his team of prosecutors, are acting at the direction of former President Trump or Congressional Republicans."

AND THIS-— Hunter’s corrupt global influence-peddling when foreign figures were giving him millions of dollars, Hunter admits that he was a crack addict and alcoholic, writing in his self-serving memoir that “Drinking a quart of vodka a day by yourself in a room is absolutely, completely debilitating” as was “smoking crack around the clock.”
Yet Hunter was not some hapless junkie in Times Square snatching purses to feed his addiction.
<><>he is the son of the most powerful man on the globe
<><>he was flying around the world mooching off taxpayers on Air Force Two,
<><>he had a tax-funded Secret Service detail
<><>he was vacuuming up millions selling dad’s influence
<><>he was allegedly distributing the money to various Biden family members
<><>he was organizing a labyrinth of shell companies and LLC accounts money laundries
<><>he was selling out America left and right.
Weiss has know history of being one of the most crooked people on earth. This is just all part of the game to make people think he is fair. And so many will fall for it. In the end Hunter will get a sweetheart deal. Just wait and see.
Communist Chinese Firm Sent Hunter Biden Enterprise $3 Million
As ‘Thank You’ For Work When Joe Biden Held Office, Comer Says
BY JAMES LYNCH. INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER, Jan 26, 2024, dailycaller.com
Hunter Biden’s former business associate Rob Walker confirmed Chinese firm CEFC wired him $3 million as a “thank you” payment for work during Joe Biden’s vice presidency, according to House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer.
Walker, a key figure in the Biden family’s Chinese and Romanian business dealings, testified before Congress Friday about the relationship the Bidens had with both CEFC and Romanian oligarch Gabriel Popoviciu, Comer said Friday night.

“Today’s interview confirmed Hunter Biden and his associates’ work with the Chinese government-linked energy company began over a year before Joe Biden left the vice presidency, but the Bidens and their associates held off being paid by the Chinese while Joe Biden was in office,” Comer said in a press release.
“The Chinese company paid Hunter Biden and his associates $3 million shortly after Joe Biden left office as a ‘thank you’ for the work they did while Joe Biden was in office. Members of the Biden family received payments from the Chinese deal even though they did not work on it,” Comer added.
State Energy HK, a CEFC account, wired Walker roughly $3 million in March 2017 shortly after Joe Biden’s vice presidency concluded, according to bank records and Hunter Biden’s federal tax indictment in California. Walker wired approximately $1 million of the funds to Biden family accounts and $1 million to a firm tied to business associate James Gilliar.

READ THE INDICTMENT linked:
Walker confirmed Joe Biden met with CEFC Chairman Ye Jianming and he confirmed the Biden family and its business associates worked for CEFC for over a year before Joe Biden left office, the Oversight Committee said.
Walker previously told the FBI that Joe Biden briefly met with CEFC associates following his vice presidency, according to a transcript of an interview Walker gave the FBI in December 2020.
The tax indictment states that the relationship with CEFC began in late 2015 and went from there. Hunter Biden pleaded not guilty to federal tax charges on Jan. 11.
Tony Bobulinski, another ex-business partner, told the FBI that Hunter and his uncle, James Biden, began their relationship with CEFC when Joe Biden was vice president, according to FBI notes.
CEFC did not pay the Bidens for their work until the State Energy HK wire. Later in 2017, Hunter and James Biden established a joint venture called Hudson West III with CEFC that hauled in around $3.5 million.
Walker said in his opening statement Joe Biden had no involvement with the business enterprise when he was in office or as a private citizen, and said assertions otherwise are false. His testimony is part of the House GOP’s impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden’s alleged involvement in his son’s lucrative foreign business dealings.
Devon Archer, a former business associate, testified that Joe Biden spoke with his son’s business associates 20 or so times and met with them in person on multiple occasions. He specifically described how the Biden family “brand” protected Ukrainian energy firm Burisma Holdings when Hunter Biden was a board member.

Hunter Biden’s business dealings with Popoviciu began during Joe Biden’s vice presidency and at one point, Hunter lobbied the U.S. Ambassador to Romania on his client’s behalf, Walker confirmed, according to Comer.
“Additionally, as Joe Biden was leading anti-corruption efforts in Romania, Hunter Biden and Rob Walker began an ill-defined business relationship with Romanian businessman Gabriel Popoviciu,” Comer stated.
“Mr. Walker also confirmed that he and Hunter Biden received payments from Popoviciu beginning in 2015 that continued throughout the rest of Joe Biden’s vice presidency. In exchange for lucrative payments, Hunter Biden traveled to Romania and engaged with the U.S. Ambassador to Romania to discuss Mr. Popoviciu’s foreign legal case,” Comer added.
Popoviciu’s Cyprus-based LLC wired Walker roughly $3 million over numerous payments from November 2015 to May 2017, bank records and the indictment show. Biden family accounts hauled in $1 million of the payments from Popoviciu.

SARs are vital documents that financial institutions must file with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) when they suspect any cases of money laundering or fraudulent activities.
Rep. James Comer says six banks, including JP Morgan, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo, submitted over 170 suspicious activity reports to the Treasury Department regarding the Biden family, alleging their involvement in money laundering, human trafficking, and tax fraud.
The American banks also raised concerns about wire transfers received by the Bidens from foreign state-owned entities, notably from the Chinese government, allegedly for the purpose of money laundering and tax evasion.
The foreign wires were found to be directed towards Biden’s business associates before being funneled through 20 shell companies associated with the Bidens. Subsequently, the funds were distributed among various Biden family members.
snip
American banks have submitted hundreds of suspicious activity reports on the Biden family, alleging their involvement in human trafficking, money laundering, and tax fraud.
Congressional investigators have obtained bank account records and wire transfer statements on twenty shell companies owned by the Bidens, which were allegedly used for laundering illegally obtained money from China, Russia, Ukraine, Romania, and Kazakhstan as unregistered foreign agents.
This evidence is supported by hundreds of thousands of emails, tens of thousands of text messages, photographs, audio recordings, calendar statements, and ten years of data from Hunter Biden’s laptop, which the FBI took into its possession in 2019.
@MarcoPolo501c3 published a comprehensive “Report on the Biden Laptop,” documenting 459 alleged crimes involving the Biden family and their associates, including 140 business crimes, 191 sex crimes, and 128 drug crimes. A $1,000 reward is offered for any verifiable corrections, but thus far, no crimes have been disputed.
snip
Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of tax records and payments, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case.
When the democrats have control of the justice system nothing good ever come of it.
Kind of like how communism works.
Amen
How does a person that has achieved the position as a Federal Judge not look at this and immediately find the Lawyer and the Defendant in Contempt of Court, sanction both and Jail both for 10 days???
Sorry little Bobby. The charges against you are “fueled” by your perverted lifestyle.
Stalling. Hunter will plea in exchange for parole and a small fine, after the election, and get a pardon.
Joe Biden and “The Delaware Way”
Delaware State Supreme Court Lets University of Delaware
Keep Biden Senate Records Hidden From Taxpaying Public
Daily Caller News Foundation ^ | July 6, 2023 | Katelynn Richardson

The Delaware Supreme Court sided with the University of Delaware Thursday, denying the release of President Joe Biden’s Senate records in a lawsuit brought by the Daily Caller News Foundation and Judicial Watch.
The DCNF and Judicial Watch appealed to the Delaware Supreme Court in January 2023 after the state’s Superior Court found the university had satisfied the burden of proof needed to justify denying the records that the DCNF requested through the state’s public records act.
The Delaware Supreme Court affirmed the Superior Court’s judgement Thursday, shielding the documents requested in both organization’s April 30, 2020 public records requests from release.
“The public has a significant interest in these documents,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton told the DCNF. “If the Delaware courts are going to protect Biden from having to produce them or the secret deal that keeps them away from the American people, then Congress should get involved.”
Documents requested by the DCNF, which now will not be released, include
<><>agreements relating to the storage of 1,850 boxes and 415 gigabytes of records from 1973 to 2009,
<><>communications between university staff and Biden’s staff,
<><>log sheets of individuals who have visited the collection, and,
<><> the actual records in the collection.
The records may contain information
<><>relating to Tara Reade,
<><>Tara accused Biden of sexually assaulting her while working in his senate office in 1993,
<><>data on the president’s son Hunter Biden,
<><>Hunter plead guilty to possessing a firearm while using a controlled substance,
<><>Hunter pled guilty for failing to pay taxes in 2017 and 2018.
Biden’s records have been housed at the University of Delaware Library since 2012. He gave them to the university on the condition that they would not be publicly released until “they have been properly processed and archived,” according to the university’s website.
During oral arguments for the case in June, legal counsel representing the university told the Delaware Supreme Court it could determine whether public funds were used to support Biden’s papers without looking at the records.
