The evidence prosecutors plan to cite in Hunter Biden’s California federal tax trial in the coming months states that the first son was paid by a foreign client in exchange for influencing U.S. policy. This provides evidence for a key claim the IRS whistleblowers brought to Congress last year: the Department of Justice had evidence of crimes by Hunter Biden, but failed to charge them before the statute of limitations expired.
According to motions filed earlier this week, federal prosecutors are planning to cite evidence at trial that Hunter Biden and his business associates were paid by a Romanian businessman to influence U.S. policy and public opinion.
Tristan Leavitt, the president of Empower Oversight whose group represents IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley, said this new filing was “infuriating” in a post to X Thursday.
“…Special Counsel Weiss is demonstrating to a T exactly what SSA Shapley and SA Ziegler blew the whistle on: Weiss's office had clear evidence of crimes by Hunter Biden that they almost swept under the rug when they allowed the statute of limitations to expire,” he wrote.
“Weiss is just using the Romanian payments as evidence of intent to evade taxes,” he added. “But the evidence (not "allegations," as the filings point out) shows what Hunter Biden ‘did do for [Gabriel Popoviciu]’--and the fact of the matter is that it violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act.”
The specter of potential FARA violations have hung over Hunter Biden’s business deals and Shapley testified that his team of investigators were blocked from looking into them further.
The committees leading the House Republican impeachment inquiry into his father say this pattern has emerged in several deals, not just the Romanian arrangement detailed in the court filing. They are calling Hunter Biden’s business relationship with several foreign clients an “influence...”

“but failed to charge them before the statute of limitations expired”
That’s not a problem. The Democrats have shown that the statute of limitations has no meaning since they have ignored it in going after Trump in NY. So, as long as it has no meaning, it can be ignored and they can go after Hunter.
Whistleblowers SSA Shapley and SA Ziegler blew the whistle on Hunter Biden thusly:
<><>Delware’s Weiss had clear evidence of crimes by Hunter Biden
<><>crimes they tried to sweep under the rug
<><>the MO was to allow the statute of limitations to expire,
<><> Shapley testified that his team was blocked from looking into it
<><>he had evidence (not “allegations”)
<><>that in the case of Romanian Gabriel Popoviciu
<><>Hunter Biden violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
<><>the specter of FARA violations dog Hunter’s foreign business deals
<><>and also implicate his then-VP father.
The House impeachment inquiry into pres Biden
<><>shows a pattern has emerged in several of Hunter’s business deals,
<><>including the Romanian arrangement detailed in court filings
<><>apparently paying for political “influence” over foreign policy
<><>emerges as the sub rosa reason for Hunter’s “business relationship” with foreign clients.
Who’s Hunter Biden?
I would be in favor with offering Hunter clemency and immunity in exchange for testimony about everything he knows about the targeting of Trump, the people controlling his father’s administration, the shielding of his father’s medical issues from the public, and how they removed him from the presidential ticket.
Excellent summation of a strategy that will never happen. Hunter wouldn’t be a week without accidentally overdosing.
You’re absolutely right. We have become an incredibly corrupt nation.
He's apparently the person running the Oval Office these days.
"Sources say."
The amount of time between a “conspiracy theory” turning into a “spoiler alert” is becoming shorter and shorter each day.
