Hunter Biden won’t be charged with money laundering, bribery or trafficking after ‘slap on the wrist’ plea deal

Hunter Biden appears to have ducked other possible charges — including money laundering, bribery and human trafficking — as part of a plea agreement he entered into with federal prosecutors that is likely to result in him serving no jail time.

The president’s 53-year-old son will plead guilty to two misdemeanor counts of failing to pay his federal income taxes on at least $3 million he earned from overseas business dealings, and he will participate in a pretrial diversion arrangement for a felony firearms charge after he lied about his drug use on a gun purchasing form in 2018.

However, court filings revealing the deal make no mention of more serious charges Hunter’s laptop indicates he exposed himself to.

Unregistered foreign agent

Hunter likely violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) while negotiating lucrative business deals with entities in China, Mexico, Romania, Russia and Ukraine during and after Joe Biden’s tenure as vice president — with George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley last year calling the evidence “unassailable and undeniable.”

The then-second son visited his father at least 30 times at the Obama White House and at Joe Biden’s Delaware home, often within days of meetings with foreign nationals, according to schedules found on his abandoned laptop.

Other emails from the laptop show Hunter Biden may have passed along funding requests to then-Vice President Biden from the crown prince of Yugoslavia and the crown princess of Serbia, as well as peddled access to his influential father to cash in on construction contracts in Colombia.

“If Hunter relayed the request for US government assistance then that would be a FARA-registrable event,” Craig Engle, a FARA expert and head of the political law practice at Arent Fox Schiff, told The Post in July 2022.

I have extremely little faith in the integrity of anyone in the judicial system.

Sudden payment could be to Cayman Islands, Singapore or Luxembourg.

he raped so many little girls — and worse —,
the many of LEO who saw his FIB-(election interfering)
-protected tapes committed suicide
or were murdered by the FIB and DO”J”.

They already practiced murder on JFK and other
elected patriots.

Isn’t there enough to impeach Biden over Afghanistan? If so, cut your losses and do that.

“No one here at FR should be surprised by ANY of this. There is no justice in this country right now, the USA is a banana republic and one step away from a dictatorship.”

For 27 seconds on Tuesday night, Fox News posted a chyiron beneath a video of President Biden: “Wannabe dictator speaks at the White House after having his political rival arrested.”

That sparked a media uproar over what was portrayed as the biggest breach of decorum since the 1865 assassination of President Lincoln at Ford’s Theater.

Doesn’t matter if Hunter Biden committed murder, Daddy will pardon him.

I suspect this means the deep state has decided to get rid of Biden for 2024. Letting Hunter skate is part of the deal. Next will be Biden withdrawing from the 2024 race to spend more time with his family.

If Biden doesn’t cooperate, they can always ratchet up the charges with other stuff against Hunter and Joe.

I’m not seeing anything published in this plea deal that would preclude charges being brought later on separate offenses of money laundering bribery etc that should be referred by the Senate committee, and hope they nail him and Joe Brandon to the wall. Separate issues.

Of course with the Biden Dept of Injustice that may be wishful thinking. This is big bad BS.

The level of disgust I have for dimmocraps cannot be adequately expressed in any spoken language. They can commit heinous crimes, treason, ruin peoples' lives, and it's all good when you have a weaponized FBI, DOJ, IRS, etc. Hunter Biden's soft pedaled "conviction" is a colossal slap in the face of every American. "See what I can do and get away with? Har, har har!" And then there is the elimination of the leading candidate in the opposition party by filing wildly frivolous lawsuits based on nothing but lies.

I have nothing but the deepest contempt for the dimmocraps. Let a thousand cattle defecate on them, let a million dogs urinate on them, and may they wake up lying next to swine.

So the DOJ has the discretion to let Hunter and Joe off, just because they are Democrats, and they are willing for the US citizens to get inferior deals due to the graft?
