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.

America is infected with the marxism virus, the most deadly known to man, and it MUST be expunged.

I know if I owed the IRS $1.2 million, I would be facing full charges.

Don't understand why he didn't just spend an afternoon splashing paint on a couple of canvases, which he could then have later pedaled for a cool million or two.

More than enough to pay his taxes!

Regards,

Yep. Pretty much. I think somehow they will quietly let hunter take the wrap for unpaid taxes. FBI stonewalls paperwork and audio tapes and closes the case. 4 years goes by and statute of limitations are up. They don’t want biden to have to pardon himself. Would raise too much uproar.

Don’t know. We do not know what is in the plea deal. If there is no immunity over bribery, he is still exposed.
