(Screen Capture/PBS NewsHour)

Former President George W. Bush Justice Department official John Yoo said he would be shocked if Hunter Biden manages to avoid prison time with his proposed Thursday plea.

Hunter Biden is trying to shift his plea in his federal tax case which was scheduled to begin jury selection Thursday in California, according to multiple reports. Yoo, on “Outnumbered,” noted that given Hunter Biden’s alleged failure to pay around $1 million in taxes, it’s unlikely he can escape serving prison time, predicting he may face at least one year behind bars.

“I think you could see one to three years. I would be very surprised if the Justice Department let him get away with no time served at all,” Yoo said. “You’re talking about someone who didn’t pay a million dollars in taxes … So, remember, there’s another $20 million that whistle-blowers from the IRS say came in from foreign sources into Hunter. He still could be investigated for being a foreign agent. There’s lots of things he could still be investigated for.”

Hunter Biden faces up to 17 years in prison for nine charges, including three felonies, pertaining to his alleged failure to pay over $1.4 million in taxes from 2016 to 2019. Instead of paying his taxes, prosecutors allege he spent his sizable income on an “extravagant lifestyle,” including “drugs, escorts and girlfriends, luxury hotels and rental properties, exotic cars, clothing, and other items of a personal nature.”

Special counsel David Weiss’ team suggested in court filings that they plan to have one of Hunter Biden’s business associates testify about money he obtained from a Romanian businessman who was striving to “influence U.S. policy and public opinion.”

“Usually the Justice Department will offer you a pretty sweet deal if you plead, but if you go to trial, they’ll throw the book at you and go for maximum sentences. But this is a in political context now where lawfare has become one of the important issues,” Yoo said earlier in the segment. “This is a case where at the same time, on this very day, the special counsel is going after Trump, all guns blazing despite being smacked back as hard as you could be by the Supreme Court.”

“And then on the other hand, you’re going to see Hunter Biden maybe get a very sweet plea deal from the very same Justice Department,” he added. “And so I think this is all an effort to remove lawfare as a political issue by the Biden-Harris Administration.”

House Report: “Highest Levels” of CIA “Coordinated” With Biden Campaign to Suppress Hunter’s Laptop https://americanconservativemovement.com/house-report-highest-levels-of-cia-coordinated-with-biden-campaign-to-suppress-hunters-laptop/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/house-report-highest-levels-of-cia-coordinated-with-biden-campaign-to-suppress-hunters-laptop/#comments Wed, 26 Jun 2024 09:50:25 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/?p=208585 (WND)—Members of a House Judiciary Committee subcommittee say they now have gotten confirmation that the then-CIA chief, Gina Haspel, likely knew about a leftist plot to have intel officers issue a statement that that laptop computer abandoned by Hunter Biden was “Russian” disinformation before it happened.

And two of the signers apparently were under contract to work for the CIA at the time they made the statement that ultimately proved to be a lie.

The committee reported Tuesday that its information shows those CIA elements “colluded with the Biden campaign.”

“We knew that the rushed statement from the 51 former intelligence officials was a political maneuver between the Biden campaign and the intelligence community. Now with this interim report, we reveal how officials at the highest levels of the CIA were aware of the statement and CIA employees knew that several of the so-called former officials were on active contract with the CIA. The report underscores the risks posed by a weaponized federal government,” explained committee chief Jim Jordan.

And Mike Turner, chairman of the House Intel Committee, added, “The House Intelligence Committee’s work provided us with solid direct evidence that in the final weeks before the 2020 presidential election, 51 former intelligence officials coordinated with the Biden campaign to falsely cast doubt on an explosive New York Post story and label Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop as ‘Russian disinformation.’ The committee worked to obtain classified documents from the CIA, including emails, and fought to include evidence of these materials in our report.”

The details come from the House Judiciary Committee’s Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government.

In fact, evidence available to date suggests that multiple layers of the federal government have been pushed into attacking President Donald Trump.

For example, multiple criminal and civil cases against him were launched as soon as he announced his run for the presidency in 2024.

Congress’ new report is called, “The Intelligence Community 51: How CIA Contractors colluded with The Biden Campaign to Mislead American Voters.”

The congressional report explains “how the highest levels of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), up to and including then-CIA Director Gina Haspel, were made aware of the ‘Public Statement on the Hunter Biden Emails’ by 51 former intelligence officials prior to its approval and publication. The report reveals important new facts, such as how some of the statement’s signatories, including former Deputy CIA Director Michael Morell, were on active contract with the CIA at the time they issued the Hunter Biden statement to discredit damaging allegations about Biden family influence peddling just weeks before the 2020 presidential election.”

That statement claimed the details about Biden family scandals revealed in the laptop was disinformation. In fact, it was all genuine and now has been documented as such as the federal government used it in evidence against Hunter Biden in a trial in which he was convicted of gun law felonies.

A survey after the election suggested had that information about the Bidens’ scandals been widely available to voters, Biden would have lost that election.

The report from Congress explained on October 14, 2020, the New York Post published a report “detailing how Hunter Biden used the position and influence of his father, now-President Joe Biden, for personal gain with the apparent awareness of President Biden. Five days later, on October 19, 2020, 51 former intelligence officials signed on to a public statement that stated that the Hunter Biden laptop story had ‘all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation,’ in an attempt to discredit the New York Post’s reporting.”

Social media corporations fell into alignment behind the Democrats’ statement, actively suppressing the truthful reporting.

The committee’s earlier report found the letter originated with now-Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, who suggested the idea to Morell.

The new reporting confirms that the highest officials in the CIA knew of the “disinformation” statement as it was being developed. A CIA officer confirmed he told Haspel or Deputy Director Vaughn Frederick Bishop of the impending release.

That, the committee confirms, “suggests that senior CIA leadership had ample opportunity to assess to validity of the statement’s claims.”

And signers Michael Morell and David Buckley reportedly were actively working for the CIA at the time the statement was released.

That means, the report said, they may have “abused their positions” regarding the statement.

And, the committee report said, “The signatories’ decision to leverage their former intelligence community titles to promote a narrative about foreign election interference improperly embroiled the agency in domestic politics.”

“Evidence Is Very Strong”: Attorney Suggests Hunter Biden Plead Guilty to Evade a “Jail Sentence” https://americanconservativemovement.com/evidence-is-very-strong-attorney-suggests-hunter-biden-plead-guilty-to-evade-a-jail-sentence/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/evidence-is-very-strong-attorney-suggests-hunter-biden-plead-guilty-to-evade-a-jail-sentence/#respond Tue, 04 Jun 2024 09:37:45 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/?p=204794 DCNF(DCNF)—Criminal defense attorney Bernarda Villalona advised President Joe Biden’s son Hunter to plead guilty at his federal gun trial commencing on Monday because of the formidable evidence against him.

Hunter Biden is facing three gun charges Special Counsel David Weiss brought in September, which include providing false statements and possessing a gun while he was aware of being addicted to drugs. Villalona on “CNN News Central” said Weiss’ evidence against Biden is “strong” and because of the potential jail sentence he could face, pleading guilty may be his “best” course of action.

WATCH:

“Unfortunately, the government’s evidence is very strong,” Villanola said. “With the government’s evidence, number one, being strong, also contemplating the witnesses that are going to testify against you. Do you want to put your ex-wife through this? Do you want to put in this your brother’s widow? Do you want to put her through this? Do you want … your dirty laundry aired out?”

“So these are things to consider,” she continued. “And also, because you’re facing jail, it‘s not positive that you will get a jail sentence, but because there’s a possibility of a jail sentence it’s likely if you plead guilty, you can try to avoid that because there’ll be mitigation that a judge would take into account. So in a case like this, you know, as defense attorneys it’s all about mitigating exposure and in a case like this it would be in his best interest because of the strength of the case for him to plead guilty.”

Prosecutors in May revealed evidence they plan to introduce to prove Biden lied regarding his drug use on a 2018 federal gun purchase form, including 75 pages of text messages outlining his addiction struggles. The messages included in the filing show arguments regarding him getting sober, talking about drug use and photos of drugs or Biden smoking crack.

“I was sleeping on a car smoking crack on 4th street and Rodney,” Biden wrote in an Oct. 14, 2018 message.

Defense attorney Randy Zelin earlier on “CNN News Central” on Monday suggested Biden’s defense strategy of denying his knowledge he was a drug addict will compel him to take the stand, and that doing so could contribute to a conviction. “Good luck with that,” Zelin said, adding he believes a jury will convict Biden, but that an appellate court will likely overturn it later.

Biden is also facing nine federal tax charges, including tax evasion and tax fraud, with Weiss finding he allegedly “engaged in a four-year scheme to not pay at least $1.4 million” for tax years 2016 through 2019, according to the indictment. The president’s son’s lawyers appealed the case, but Judge Mark Scarsi denied it, with the trial being slated to commence on June 20.

Will the Biden Impeachment Inquiry Bear Fruit Today? https://americanconservativemovement.com/will-the-biden-impeachment-inquiry-bear-fruit-today/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/will-the-biden-impeachment-inquiry-bear-fruit-today/#comments Wed, 20 Mar 2024 10:53:49 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/?p=202071 Depending on who you ask, today is either the beginning of the end for the Biden Crime Family’s influence peddling business or it’s Kabuki Theater for Republicans to pretend they’re finally getting tough with Hunter Biden, Uncle James, and Daddy Joe.

Witnesses will be trotted out before the House Oversight Committee. These witnesses will support the contention by House Republicans that the Biden Crime Family got paid for doing nothing other than dishing out political favors from then-VP Joe Biden. It will be crystal clear to anyone who’s paying attention that Joe was the product the family was selling. Hunter, James, and their cohorts offered nothing else of value in exchange for a whole lot of money from the highest bidders.

Unfortunately, this will likely bear no real fruit other than score some political points in an election year. That’s it. Neither Hunter nor James are going to jail. The man in the Oval Office will not be removed until either voters take him out in November or Barack Obama replaces him with another puppet before the election.

Conservative media will be aflutter. Corporate media will be bouncing back and forth between debunking and ignoring claims by witnesses and Committee members. Social media will trade clips of “bombshells.” But at the end of the day, nothing of substance will happen.

Such is the way in Washington DC. Depending on who’s in power at the time, Democrats will either act to destroy the nation or Republicans will talk about taking action after the upcoming election. They always delay until the next election. That’s the UniParty Swamp.

Here’s the writeup of Wednesday’s happenings generated from corporate media reports….


In a “groundbreaking” development, former business associates of Hunter Biden are set to testify publicly on Capitol Hill this Wednesday. This marks the beginning of the next phase in the impeachment inquiry against President Biden, as congressional Republicans take the lead.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer is expected to open the hearing by shedding light on a year-long investigation that has unearthed no credible evidence of the Bidens providing any work product. Furthermore, investigators have not identified any legitimate value or documents to support the Bidens’ business partnerships.

Comer will emphasize that the Bidens’ work methodology deviates from traditional norms. They do not function as consultants, lawyers, or advisors; nor do they sell products, services, or skill sets. Instead, the Bidens’ primary asset is Joe Biden himself.

Comer will assert that Joe Biden has consistently taken actions to further his family’s wealth accumulation. He will describe the alleged scam as a simple one: the Bidens promise to resolve foreign partners’ issues by leveraging the U.S. government. This process has been repeated multiple times, with Joe Biden’s power being invoked, subsequently resulting in millions of dollars flowing into the Bidens’ pockets.

Tony Bobulinski, a U.S. Navy veteran, will testify publicly during a joint hearing of the House Oversight and Judiciary committees on Wednesday morning. Jason Galanis, serving a 14-year prison sentence for securities fraud, will also provide testimony, albeit virtually from a minimum-security prison in Alabama.

Democrats have invited Lev Parnas, a former associate of former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani, to testify publicly as well.

Comer, in announcing the hearing earlier this month, extended an invitation to Hunter Biden to testify publicly, fulfilling the first son’s repeated requests. However, through his attorney, Abbe Lowell, Hunter Biden rejected the invitation, dismissing the hearing as a “carnival side show.”

Comer also invited Hunter Biden’s former associate, Devon Archer, who is not expected to attend. Comer claims to have “called Hunter Biden’s bluff” by offering a public hearing after the committee had deposed him, as per standard procedure for all witnesses.

During Hunter Biden’s deposition last month, he maintained that his father was never involved in or benefited from his business dealings. The committee also heard testimony from James Biden, the president’s younger brother, who shared the same sentiment.

Hunter Biden did admit to putting his father on speakerphone with business associates and inviting him to business lunches. Archer had previously testified that Hunter Biden put his father on speakerphone at least 20 times with business associates.

Without Hunter and Archer, the hearing will feature Bobulinski, who worked with Hunter Biden to create SinoHawk Holdings, a joint venture with Chinese energy company CEFC. Bobulinski testified behind closed doors that he personally met with Joe Biden for more than 45 minutes in 2017.

Bobulinski also testified that Joe Biden “enabled” his son Hunter to sell access to the U.S.’s “most dangerous adversaries,” including the Chinese Communist Party, Russia, and others.

Galanis’ testimony will also focus on whether Joe Biden was involved in the businesses he worked on with Hunter Biden. Galanis, who was interviewed by congressional investigators last month, testified that Joe Biden was considering joining the board of a joint venture created by Hunter Biden and his business associates with ties to the Chinese Communist Party after he left the vice presidency.

Galanis also mentioned that the phrase “lean in” was used by Devon and Hunter Biden to signify access to Vice President Biden’s political influence.

Democrats have criticized the impeachment investigation as “hopeless,” with Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., the top Democrat on the Oversight Committee, stating that it originated from lies told by an indicted liar in close proximity to Russian agents.

It’s always the Russians.

‘He’s Getting Lousy Advice’: Trey Gowdy Pans Hunter Biden’s Lawyer After Contempt Resolution https://americanconservativemovement.com/hes-getting-lousy-advice-trey-gowdy-pans-hunter-bidens-lawyer-after-contempt-resolution/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/hes-getting-lousy-advice-trey-gowdy-pans-hunter-bidens-lawyer-after-contempt-resolution/#comments Tue, 09 Jan 2024 08:12:41 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/?p=200192 DCNF(Daily Caller)—Fox News host Trey Gowdy ripped Hunter Biden’s lawyer for providing the embattled son of President Joe Biden “lousy advice” Monday.

House Republicans released the text of a resolution charging Hunter Biden with contempt of Congress after Biden gave a defiant statement to members of the press Dec. 13. Hunter Biden refused to show up for a deposition after the House Oversight Committee and House Judiciary Committee issued a subpoena Nov. 8.

“When you put that picture of Hunter Biden up, there’s somebody to his right as I’m looking at it. That guy is a really smart lawyer. It’s Abbe Lowell,” Gowdy, a former chairman of the House Oversight Committee, told Fox News host Martha MacCallum. “He represented Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump and he got Bob Menendez a hung jury.”

“His lawyer is smart, which can why I don’t understand, Martha, why not just go, invoke your privilege,” Gowdy added. “I don’t care what privilege, attorney-client, your Fifth Amendment privilege, marital privilege, priest-penitent, I don’t care what privilege you invoke, show up. He’s being held in contempt because he didn’t even bother to come.”

Hunter Biden is already facing criminal tax and gun charges after special counsel David Weiss secured a nine-count indictment of Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, for failing to pay over $1 million in taxes from 2016 to 2019 on Dec. 7 and a federal grand jury in Delaware indicted Biden on charges of illegally possessing a firearm while using illegal drugs and for making false statements in the course of purchasing the firearm on Sept. 14. Biden entered a “not guilty” plea in a federal court in Wilmington, Delaware Oct. 3, and is slated to appear in a federal court in California on Jan. 11, the AP reported.

“Candidly, just between us, I think he’s getting lousy advice,” Gowdy told MacCallum. “Remember before he was indicted in California, all the talk is about whether or not he was going to demand a public hearing instead of a private deposition. You know what, your lawyer should actually have been focused on making sure you weren’t indicted in California.”

Biden Crime Family’s Defense Over ‘Grifting’ Gets Hammered https://americanconservativemovement.com/biden-crime-familys-defense-over-grifting-gets-hammered/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/biden-crime-familys-defense-over-grifting-gets-hammered/#respond Tue, 26 Dec 2023 17:38:32 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/?p=199761 (WND)—Legal commentator Jonathan Turley, who not only has testified before Congress as a constitutional expert but also has represented members in court, has unleashed a commentary blasting the Biden family’s newest defense for the evidence that shows influence peddling – and the millions of dollars that brought to members.

“The question is whether Joe Biden knew about the influence peddling of his brothers and his son. If so, he actively assisted his family in acquiring millions to influence him on public policy or legislation. His family was effectively marketing time shares in a senator, a vice president and now a president,” he wrote.

“Whether or not Biden delivered, the family business corrupted the functions of government by converting offices into types of commodities. That is the case regardless of whether or not they delivered. It is akin to an extortionist taking money without any intent to follow through on threats of disclosure or use of damaging material. Even in today’s willfully blind politics, every voter should be able to agree on two simple facts.

“First, influence peddling is corruption long opposed by the government and denounced by both parties.

“Second, if the president knew that his son and uncles were using him for influence peddling, Joe Biden is also corrupt.”

Turley, the J.B. and Maurice C. Shapiro Professor of Public Interest Law at the George Washington University Law School, noted the “Biden family legal problems continue to mount.”

He cited reports Joe Biden’s brother James was caught on an FBI audiotape in a corruption investigation, while Ashley Biden, the president’s daughter, is now also facing demands for unpaid taxes.

He noted James Biden is expected soon to testify before the House investigators looking into Biden family corruption, and that occasion may “solidify a new line of defense for the Bidens: that they are harmless grifters.”

“After years of denying influence peddling with the help of an obligating media, even some Democrats are now admitting that Hunter and his uncles have been selling influence. Biden associates confirmed that Joe Biden was the brand that they were peddling to foreign clients, who paid millions to the family,” he explained.

The James Biden affair illustrates the operations, he explained.

It happened during an investigation into lawyer Richard Scruggs, who later went to prison.

“Scruggs forked over $100,000 to James Biden when he was seeking to reinforce support for the massive tobacco legislation and Joe Biden was viewed as skeptical on what some viewed as a windfall for trial lawyers,” Turley explained.

In fact, Scruggs admitted James Biden was “hired” because he was Joe Biden’s brother.

When the tape was revealed, the Bidens immediately produced a “new defense. James Biden took the money but allegedly did nothing to land his brother.”

In fact, Biden defenders now say the Bidens took money, but their help was “illusory.”

“In other words, these corrupt figures wanted to buy influence and access, but they were just chumps fleeced by the Bidens,” he wrote. “It is a curious defense that we are not corrupt because we just ripped off dupes who were corrupt people.”

He said, however, the bottom line is that “influence peddling is a form of corruption.”

He said the case will come down to “what the president knew about his family’s influence peddling and when he knew it.”

“It is highly implausible that the president did not know about the influence peddling,” he explained.

And he pointed out Joe Biden likely already likely has lost the fight, as “roughly 70 percent of voters (including 40 percent of Democrats) believes that President Biden acted illegally or unethically, or both.”

Eric Swalwell Facilitated Hunter Biden’s Congress-Defying Press Conference — Ethics Complaint Being Considered https://americanconservativemovement.com/eric-swalwell-facilitated-hunter-bidens-congress-defying-press-conference-ethics-complaint-being-considered/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/eric-swalwell-facilitated-hunter-bidens-congress-defying-press-conference-ethics-complaint-being-considered/#respond Thu, 14 Dec 2023 06:30:20 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/?p=199310 Leave it to Eric Swalwell to make a boneheaded move for the sake of a fellow bonehead. Reports are coming in that the Congressman rented the space used by Hunter Biden to deliver his press conference announcing his defiance of a Congressional subpoena.

Considering that the very body that Biden was defying has Swalwell as a member, sources indicate that an ethics complaint is being considered against Swalwell by GOP leadership.

According to investigative journalist Paul Sperry:

Democratic Rep. Swalwell admits he reserved space outside Congress for Hunter Biden to deliver his press conference,thereby facilitating Hunter’s defiance of a congressional subpoena

–>Hill sources tell me GOP leadership may file ethics complaint

Of course, nothing will come from this. The feckless GOP has allowed Swalwell to impede numerous times without repercussions. Then, there’s the fact that he’s demonstrably a national security risk with his infamous Fang Fang affair.

It’s all Kabuki Theater.

‘Untouchable’: Former Trump Official Says Indictment Will Keep Hunter Out of Reach of House Investigators https://americanconservativemovement.com/untouchable-former-trump-official-says-indictment-will-keep-hunter-out-of-reach-of-house-investigators/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/untouchable-former-trump-official-says-indictment-will-keep-hunter-out-of-reach-of-house-investigators/#respond Sat, 09 Dec 2023 08:14:14 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/?p=199194 DCNF(Daily Caller)—Fox Business host Larry Kudlow said Friday that Hunter Biden’s indictment made him “untouchable” from House investigators seeking to depose him on Wednesday.

Special counsel David Weiss secured a nine-count indictment against Hunter Biden Thursday for violations of federal tax laws. “Hunter is going to use this as an excuse to avoid any private deposition under oath before any of the congressional oversight or judicial or ways and means committees, or worst case, he’ll take the fifth if he has to go up there” Kudlow said.

“What he will not be forced to do is to reveal all the details of the alleged influence peddling and bribery crimes that might just happen to come up in a discussion about his failure to register as a foreign agent,” Kudlow continued. “Let me italicize that foreign agent part, because the Weiss indictment didn’t include that for some reason, maybe an oversight. The whole world knows that papa Biden was involved with his son’s business.”

Hunter Biden was subpoenaed by the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees on Nov. 8. Republican Reps. James Comer of Kentucky and Jim Jordan of Ohio, who chair the committees, threatened to initiate contempt of Congress proceedings if Biden did not appear for the deposition scheduled for Wednesday.

“He’s going to plead the Fifth because he now has a criminal charge in California,” former United States Attorney Brett Tolman told Fox News host Jesse Watters in a Thursday appearance.

Kudlow questioned whether Weiss secured the indictment to prevent Hunter Biden from testifying. “My nonlegal suspicion is that this whole series of events actually brings GOP oversight investigators further away from Joe Biden because Hunter’s going to be untouchable for quite some time,” Kudlow said. “And if I were really a cynic, I would say the special counsel, David Weiss – who has zero credibility – decided to put Hunter on ice for exactly this reason.”

“The fact is that this is a circle that is getting tighter around the president,” George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley told Fox News host Sean Hannity Thursday. “It is clear that the president has lied. He obviously lied during the first campaign when he said he had no knowledge of these dealings. Hunter himself contradicted that. Hunter’s associate said it was utter nonsense in recent statements after his testimony. He also said that his son didn’t make any money in China. That obviously is not true.”

Internal Revenue Service whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Zeigler testified about interference with the investigation into Biden during a July 19 hearing held by the House Oversight Committee.

“I can just imagine the phone calls between Weiss and Attorney General Merrick Garland,” Kudlow said.

Hunter Biden Faces Nine New Charges, Including Three More Felonies https://americanconservativemovement.com/hunter-biden-faces-nine-new-charges-including-three-more-felonies/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/hunter-biden-faces-nine-new-charges-including-three-more-felonies/#comments Fri, 08 Dec 2023 02:19:09 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/?p=199150 (Discern Report)—Joe Biden may have to whip out the presidential pardon soon as his son is facing even more charges, including three felonies. The tax-related charges point to an “extravagant lifestyle” in which he spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on “adult entertainment.”

As Collin Rugg noted on Twitter, this is just the tip of the iceberg:

Hunter Biden has been charged with nine federal tax crimes in the Central District of California.

Hunter Biden allegedly engaged in a four year scheme and “spent millions of dollars on an extravagant lifestyle rather than paying his tax bills.”

Hunter Biden “engaged in a four-year scheme to not pay at least $1.4 million in self-assessed federal taxes he owed for tax years 2016 through 2019, from in or about January 2017 through in or about October 15, 2020, and to evade the assessment of taxes for tax year 2018 when he filed false returns in or about February 2020.” (ABC)

This is just the tip of the iceberg.

Here’s the news of how it’s all going down, generated from corporate media reports:

Hunter Biden, the son of President Biden, is facing new legal challenges in California as he was recently indicted on nine charges related to tax evasion, according to recently revealed documents.

The charges against Hunter Biden include three felonies and six misdemeanors, adding to his existing legal troubles. He is already grappling with federal firearms charges in Delaware related to the purchase of a firearm in 2018, a period during which he was known to be struggling with substance abuse issues.

The recent indictment, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, alleges that Hunter Biden was involved in a four-year scheme to evade paying at least $1.4 million in federal taxes between 2016 and 2019. The charges claim that rather than fulfilling his tax obligations, Biden spent substantial sums on what the indictment describes as an “extravagant lifestyle,” including memberships in sex clubs and over $188,000 on adult entertainment.

The document contends that Hunter Biden’s expenditures escalated along with his income, highlighting that in 2018 alone, he spent over $1.8 million on various expenses, such as cash withdrawals, payments to women, clothing, accessories, and miscellaneous retail purchases. Significantly, these funds were not allocated towards fulfilling his tax obligations for that year.

Special Counsel David Weiss, operating through a federal grand jury in Los Angeles, has been diligently gathering evidence for potential criminal tax charges against Hunter Biden. The son of the President had previously pleaded not guilty to federal gun charges in October in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, stemming from Weiss’ ongoing investigation.

It was anticipated that the criminal investigation would conclude with a plea deal, which Hunter Biden had initially planned to enter over the summer. However, this deal fell apart, with Hunter Biden’s proposed guilty plea to two misdemeanor tax evasion charges and a separate agreement on the gun charge no longer on the table. The disagreement centers on the validity of immunity provisions, with defense attorneys asserting their continued applicability even after the plea deal’s collapse, while prosecutors contend they are invalid.

These new charges come amid growing political tension, as House Republican leaders are expected to vote on initiating a formal impeachment inquiry into President Biden’s potential ties to his son’s business dealings. Recent revelations by House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., about direct monthly payments from an entity owned by Hunter Biden to Joe Biden have intensified scrutiny. The White House has consistently maintained that President Biden was unaware of any wrongdoing in his son’s business affairs.

In the midst of these legal and political developments, House Republicans have issued warnings to Hunter Biden, threatening to hold him in contempt of Congress if he fails to appear for a closed-door deposition on December 13. In response, Hunter Biden has insisted that any testimony be conducted in a public setting, citing concerns about selective leaks from closed-door sessions and their potential to distort facts and misinform the public.

Confirmed: Joe Biden Received Monthly Payments From Son’s Business https://americanconservativemovement.com/confirmed-joe-biden-received-monthly-payments-from-sons-business/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/confirmed-joe-biden-received-monthly-payments-from-sons-business/#respond Mon, 04 Dec 2023 18:18:27 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/?p=199053 (The Epoch Times)—President Joe Biden received payments from one of his son’s businesses, according to bank records made public on Dec. 4.

President Biden received the payments starting in September 2018, according to the records, which were obtained and released by the U.S. House of Representatives Oversight Committee.

The records show former Vice President Biden signing to receive $1,380 on a monthly basis from Owasco PC, one of Hunter Biden’s businesses.

“Payments from Hunter’s business entity to Joe Biden are now part of a pattern revealing Joe Biden knew about, participated in, and benefited from his family’s influence peddling schemes,” Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), chairman of the committee, said in a video statement.

The White House and a lawyer for Mr. Biden did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The records were obtained as part of the House probe into President Biden and his family, which centers on business transactions made while he was vice president and in the time between when he left the government and assumed the presidency.
