DOJ near decision on charging Hunter Biden with tax, gun crimes: report
NY Post ^ | May 3, 2023 | By Josh Christenson

Prosecutors are close to a final decision on whether to charge Hunter Biden with tax and gun crimes following a meeting last week between the first son’s lawyers and Justice Department officials.

Hunter’s attorneys met in Washington with prosecutors from the office of Delaware US Attorney David Weiss to discuss the investigation, which has stretched for more than four years across two administrations.

Sources close to the investigation told The Washington Post that Weiss is nearly ready to announce whether his office will seek an indictment on felony and misdemeanor tax charges and lying on a federal gun purchasing form — or let the whole thing side.

The news comes after FBI investigators reportedly expressed “growing frustration” over the pace of the inquiry, and an IRS whistleblower came forward to allege Hunter has received “preferential treatment” under the auspices of Attorney General Merrick Garland.

On Tuesday, Garland referred reporters to Weiss’ office for questions about the investigation and stood by his past testimony to Congress that there were no political considerations delaying the Hunter probe.

the Decision was made to THROW the election previously.

Americans demand to know:
Was it just a 10% cut,
or has it included the right to make snuff films
from the children trafficked?

He had no intent. He didn’t mean it. His dog ate his homework. Not enough to charge. We have investigated us and find no wrongdoing.

Now, let’s move on to Trump’s Jay Walking felony.

Federal crimes? Pops will just pardon him, and then claim the Republicans and conservatives across the country gave him no choice. And a majority of voters would believe him.

“near decision”

The investigation was complete a year ago. They’ve known what he and Daddy did for even longer than that. The Deep State has someone they can control in the White House. If Obama decides he doesn’t want a second Biden term then everything will break.

They are trying to delay so they can run out the clock:

For federal crimes committed within the United States, the statute of limitations is defined under 18 U.S.C. § 3282. This statute says the SOL is five years “except as otherwise expressly provided by law.”

Does the Deep State want Slow Joe gone? If so, Hunter is in a bit of trouble, and might have to take some sort of sweetheart plea deal.

But if the Deep State is still happy with Slow Joe as a figurehead, then Hunter walks.

When did prosecutors meet with Trump lawyers BEFORE they leveled charges?

The fact that they are having discussions means a deal is being worked out.
