Hunter Biden owes his ex-wife $2.9 million after a protracted legal battle — and now his one time spouse is expected to be a key witness in his looming trials.

Kathleen Buhle, who was married to the first son for 24 years before they split in 2017, claims Hunter has blown off agreed-upon alimony payments, legal fees, interest and other debts to her over the years.

Buhle sued Hunter in 2019, shortly after he married current wife Melissa Cohen.

The dispute with Buhle has been simmering in Washington, D.C. courts for years, and in 2021 Hunter was found to be in violation of his divorce settlement.

Now Buhle, mother to three of Hunter’s five kids, is set to take the stage as Hunter faces federal trial next week for illegal gun possession, and again in September when Hunter goes on trial for alleged tax crimes.

The dispute makes a is mentioned in special counsel David Weiss’ tax evasion indictment of the younger Biden.

Their separation agreement stipulated Hunter would pay Buhle $37,000 a month and 50% of any earnings over $875,000 annually, according to court documents obtained by Axios.

Team Buhle, however has maintained that Hunter didn’t pony up what he owned in 2017 and 2018, a period in which they allege he made more than $2 million per year. The alimony stopped altogether after she filed sued, her attorneys contended to Axios.

EXCLUSIVE Joe and Hunter Biden used a visit to Sandy Hook memorial service
Set up secret meet with Chinese over $10m-a-year deal, new emails reveal

Hunter Biden used Joe Biden’s appearance at a Sandy Hook memorial service to arrange a meeting between his dad and his Chinese business partners, new texts reveal.

The messages come from a fresh tranche of documents released by Congress on Wednesday, given to them by IRS agents who investigated the First Son.

On December 12, 2017 Hunter wrote on the Chinese messaging app WeChat to Liu Yadong, a top executive at Chinese oil giant CEFC, to arrange a meeting with his father.

‘Can you meet this evening early,’ Hunter wrote. ‘My father will be in New York also and he wants me to attend the Sandyhook memorial service with him and I would like him to meet you along with my uncle [Jim Biden] and then you and I can talk let me know if that works.’

‘No problem,’ Yadong replied. ‘Pls let me know where and when to meet.’

The texts to set up a meeting with Joe came after months of negotiation about the Biden family’s involvement in the deal with the Chinese government-linked company, in exchange for $10 million a year.

In July 2017 Hunter sent ‘threatening’ texts to CEFC official Runlong Zhao demanding he follow through on the $10 million deal, and noting his father’s involvement.

‘I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled,’ Hunter wrote, in text messages obtained by the IRS investigators and published by Congress last year.

Weeks later, on August 3, 2017, Hunter texted CEFC associate Gongwen ‘Kevin’ Dong that he wanted a ‘[$]10 M per annum budget’ and that ‘the Bidens are the best I know at doing exactly what the [CEFC] Chairman wants from this partnership.’

At the time Joe Biden held no government post.

Could the Alvin Bragg case already be on the SCOTUS docket?
FR Posted on 6/2/2024, 11:09:20 AM by Sidebar Moderator

Speculation is running rampant about the need for a “hook” to get the Supremes to consider cert on the bogus Bragg conviction. Recall that the alleged “falsified” business records all supposedly occurred in 2017.

Last time I checked, Trump was president at the time. I’m not a lawyer, but if SCOTUS reaffirms broad presidential immunity (as I believe they will, definitely after the clown show in New York) on the basis of separation of powers, this will upend the J6 case, almost all of the documents case and the Fulton RICO case in its entirety. At a minimum, a broad immunity ruling could impact the Bragg case in interesting ways.

To reiterate.....the alleged “falsified” business records “so as not to influence an election,”
which cockeyed Bragg mfg as a “crime.” all supposedly occurred in 2017.

<><>Drum roll, please......Trump was already president at the time.
<><>Ta da.

If SCOTUS reaffirms broad presidential immunity (post-NY’s clown show) on the basis of separation of powers,
<><>this will upend the J6 case,
<><>almost all of the documents case
<><>and Fani’s Fulton RICO case in its entirety.

At a minimum, a broad immunity ruling could impact the Bragg case in interesting ways.

Lol.......

Go for it.

Biden’s Vindictive Jan 6 Prosecutions Could Fall Apart in huge numbers THIS MONTH, Here’s Why

The United States Supreme Court is set to decide Fisher v. United States, a case in which January 6 Capitol riot defendant Joseph W. Fisher is challenging a federal felony charge of obstructing an official proceeding. Justices heard oral arguments in the case in mid-April, and are likely to rule by the end of June.

Joe Biden‘s Department of Justice (DOJ) has used the felony charge against over 300 individuals who allegedly participated in the 2021 riot in Washington, D.C. Additionally, the obstruction charge forms the core of DOJ special counsel Jack Smith‘s January 6 prosecution against former President Donald Trump.

Fisher and his attorneys contend the obstruction felony — a provision enacted by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 in the wake of the Enron scandal — represents an abusive application of what was supposed to be a statute addressing document destruction in the course of committing a financial crime. U.S. District Judge Carl J. Nichols ruled in Fisher’s favor in March 2022, dismissing the obstruction charge against three of the January 6 defendants. But the federal D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed Nichols’s ruling in a 2-1 decision in April 2023 — setting up the showdown at the U.S. Supreme Court.

SARBANES-OXLEY.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act was enacted after the 2001 Enron financial accounting fraud scandal, which saw the Texas-headquartered energy firm abruptly declare bankruptcy and dissolve its accounting firm, Arthur Andersen LLP. Congress swiftly moved to address gaps in financial regulations, which they believed allowed Enron executives to perpetrate fraud.Sarbanes-Oxley passed in June 2002 and contained 11 financial reporting provisions aimed at the board of directors for U.S.-based companies.. Additionally, the bill enacted enhanced charges for private corporations accused of destroying documents to obstruct a federal investigation.

The statute, found in 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c)(2), reads:“Whoever corruptly—(1) alters, destroys, mutilates, or conceals a record, document, or other object, or attempts to do so, with the intent to impair the object’s integrity or availability for use in an official proceeding; or (2) otherwise obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding, or attempts to do so, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.”This provision is what Biden’s DOJ used to file enhanced felony charges against the January 6 defendants and former President Trump after congressional proceedings were delayed for a few hours on January 6, 2021.

SCOTUS SHOWDOWN.
April’s oral arguments saw the Supreme Court‘s six originalist justices probe the Biden government over the broad application of Sarbanes-Oxley’s obstruction provision. Justice Brett Kavanaugh challenged the DOJ on why the obstruction charges were needed, pointing out that Fisher faced six other charges for his actions on January 6, 2021 — including assaulting a U.S. Capitol Police officer.“Why aren’t those six counts good enough?”

Kavanaugh asked the Biden government attorneys, while Justice Clarence Thomas inquired if the Sarbanes-Oxley provision had ever been used in a case prior to the January 6 trials to prosecute “violent protesters.”Even Justice Elena Kagan — one of the court’s more liberal members — appeared to agree with Thomas, noting the intent of Sarbanes-Oxley was to address financial crimes, not protests at the Capitol, which caused a short-term nuisance.Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar, representing the Biden regime, stressed the unique nature of the January 6 cases.

“The fundamental wrong committed by many of the rioters, including petitioner, was a deliberate attempt to stop the joint session of Congress from certifying the results of the election,” Prelogar said. She added: “That is, they obstructed Congress’ work in that official proceeding.”

‘PULLING A FIRE ALARM.’
Associate Justice Neil Gorsuch asked the Biden government the most piercing questions and pressed them to determine the extent to which they believed activities could be prosecuted under the enhanced provisions of the law on financial crimes.In his questioning, Gorsuch made specific references to several recent incidents, one where a Gold Star father was arrested for shouting at President Joe Biden from the House gallery during the recent State of the Union Address. The other regarded Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), who pulled a fire alarm while the House of Representatives voted on a government funding bill in September last year.

“Would a sit-in that disrupts a trial or access to a federal courthouse qualify?” the Justice asked before probing further: “Would a heckler in today’s audience qualify, or at the State of the Union address? Would pulling a fire alarm before a vote qualify for 20 years in federal prison?”

IMPLICATIONS FOR TRUMP.
The Supreme Court’s ruling could have far-reaching implications beyond the over 300 individuals charged under Biden’s DOJ’s use of the enhanced obstruction provision.

If the Justices rule against using Sarbanes-Oxley in the Jan 6 prosecutions, it would also invalidate two of the four felony charges brought by DOJ special counsel Jack Smith in the Washington, D.C.-based prosecution of former President Trump.

Smith alleges the former President illegally attempted to interfere in the 2020 presidential election and overturn its results.In addition to the potential impact of Fisher v. United States, the Supreme Court also heard a ‘presidential immunity’ challenge brought by Trump against Smith‘s prosecution in April. Trump and his defense attorneys contend that he is immune from prosecution as his actions challenging the 2020 election results were committed in his official capacity as President of the United States. If the Court rules in favor of broad legal protections for current and former U.S. presidents, it could result in most of the state and federal charges against him — in at least three current prosecutions — being dismissed.

<><>the J6 case,
<><>almost all of the classified documents case
<><>Fani’s Fulton RICO case in its entirety.

A broad immunity ruling could also impact the Bragg case.

Who knows?

.......we, the people, have seen Biden stumble and totter across the WH lawn, fall up and trip down plane stairs, get lost on a 3’ podium, babble, slur his words, tell weird stories about cannibals...... underscoring that Biden is a mentally impaired, doddering, old coot — which was affirmed by Special Counsel Hur.

So Special Counsel Robert K. Hur must now be “surprised” that Biden-—who Hur said a jury would perceive as “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” and thus be unlikely to convict -——is an aggressive eager debater, even meticulously setting the debate terms, appealing to voters who are anxious to reelect “an elderly man w/ a poor memory.”

Reference: Hur was appointed January 2023 by AG Garland to conduct the investigation of Biden into possible unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents at the U of Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement and in the garage of the Wilmington, Del private residence of Joe Biden, as well as several other places........all easily accessible to influence-peddler Hunter Biden.

Update

Joe finished his “Kindly Old Man w/ Faulty Memory Act” (to escape jail for mishandling classifieds).

Now Joenothing is into his “I’m a Trusted Beacon of Democrat Leadership Reelection Act.”

Must be almost time for his “Resurrect My Dead War Hero Son Act,” a proven vote-getter any moron in Delaware can tell ya.

y/v/w

Good call..... the alleged “falsified” business records “so as not to influence an election,”
which cockeyed Bragg mfg as a “crime.” all supposedly occurred in 2017.

<><>Drum roll, please......Trump was already president at the time.

If SCOTUS reaffirms broad presidential immunity (probably will, after NY’s clown show) on the basis of separation of powers,

Yawn......doesnt make any difference who’s president. America’s interests always come last.

Obama’s $38 billion Israeli deal that covered fiscal years 2019-2028 included:
<><>-annual US payments to Israel of $3.3 billion in “military financing,”
<><>-$500 million a year for Israel’s missile defense operations in the Negev, a foreign aid first,
<><>-A phasing-out of Israel’s decades-long “special arrangement”
<><>ie. Israel used 26.3% of US aid on its own global defense industry (not on US-made weapons).
<><>-Eliminates Israel using some 13% of US aid to buy military fuel.
<><>-will allow Israel to update “the lion’s share” of its fighter aircraft,
<><>includes purchasing additional F-35 Joint Strike Fighters.
<><>Israel is to initially receive thirty-three F-35 aircraft,
<><>the first two F-35’s will be delivered in December.

The (a) weaponry build-up from Obama 2018 into 2028, (b) follows the $30 billion weaponry deal Israel signed in 2007, which expires at the end of fiscal 2018, and (c) a systematic buildup of Israeli arms, like this one in 2015.
