Special Counsel: Hunter Biden Accepted Money to ‘Influence U.S. Government Agencies’
Breitbart ^ | 08/08/2024 | Wendell Husebø

Hunter Biden accepted $3,101,258 from Romanian partner Gabriel Popoviciu to “influence U.S. government agencies” when President Joe Biden served as vice president, Special Counsel David Weiss said in a Wednesday court filing.

Weiss, who stopped short of accusing Hunter of having “improperly coordinated with the Obama administration,” failed to indict him on Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) violations in 2023, opting instead to indict the president’s son on alleged tax violations, potential wrongdoing that Republicans claim falls short of justice.

Weiss could still charge Hunter with violating FARA because his sweetheart plea deal, which was negotiated to give Hunter sweeping immunity, fell apart. The sweetheart deal crumbled under judicial scrutiny, and Weiss subsequently filed separate gun and tax charges in Delaware and California, respectively. The tax trial is scheduled for September.

The court filing states that the Department of Justice (DOJ), at trial, intends to introduce evidence not only related to Hunter’s Romanian business partner but to CEFC China Energy Co. and Burisma Holdings, two entities that paid Hunter millions both when his father was vice president and a private citizen. “This evidence will not include evidence that the defendant performed lobbying activity in exchange for this compensation,” the filing says.

“Rather, the evidence will show the defendant performed almost no work in exchange for the millions of dollars he received from these entities,” it adds.

They’re trying to force Biden to resign so Vice President Giggles can run as an incumbent.

The Bidens must’ve fallen out of favor with The Uniparty.

If so, they’re toast.

A "recovering addict" Hunter Biden will not face charges for knowingly taking money to influence U.S. government agencies when his father was the vice president, a prosecutor said on Thursday,.

Special Counsel said in a report that he opted against bringing criminal charges following a long, long investigation because Biden could not remember anything due to his Cocaine addition and would be difficult to convict, describing him as a "well-meaning, drug addicted man with a poor memory."

The Bidens were really the joke of the Beltway Bureaucrats. They never respected him one second. He was the only guy they could “Patsy” to steal an election at the national level. Respectable politicians (yeah I know) wouldn’t touch that. The only purpose he served was to not be Trump and be installed.

It’s apparent that Biden just wants to go home and watch TV. The party elders and interest groups are going to force him to resign. Sounds like the rats feel that Kamala as President fills the first female President box.

Anyone but a fool knows that Hunter Biden's only way to influence U.S. government agencies was through his father, Joe Biden.

Somehow I think that Biden’s have the receipts to take a lot of Democrats down big if they want to go nuclear in response.

“now its time to turn on Hunter...”

************

Just a reminder to Joe that he better not have any second thoughts about dropping out. Or more shoes will be dropping.

Make no mistake, Biden deeply resents what the party elders have done to him. They were totally prepared to drop 25A against him — and probably a lot more. Biden’s level of resentment must be off the charts.

Very sad that the egg on the face of Hunter can’t spread to the Democratic candidate.
