The Hunter Biden Tax Indictment Is a Disaster for the White House
NATIONALREVIEW.COM ^ | 12/8/2023 | ANDREW C. MCCARTHY

If you’ve been following the Biden saga, the indictment has some neon-flashing problems for the president. All Our Opinion in Your Inbox

NR Daily is delivered right to you every afternoon. No charge. There are several astonishing things about the 56-page grand-jury indictment filed with nine counts against the president’s son, Hunter Biden, by federal prosecutor David Weiss.

The first is that it’s dizzying.

The indictment is scathing in describing the younger Biden’s unsavory lifestyle, his deep dishonesty, and his willful decision to evade tax liabilities on millions of dollars in income and instead spend the money on escorts, drugs, luxury goods, and the like. Hunter is portrayed as exactly the kind of tax cheat who should be prosecuted. In fact, he appears to be just the sort of elitist scoundrel abominated in the rhetoric of his father and Democrats — privileged, addicted to consumption, producing little of real value, and greedily unwilling to pay his “fair share.”

But here’s the problem: Just four months ago, the same David Weiss tried to bury the same tax case against the same Hunter Biden — offering him a no-jail plea to two puny misdemeanors, a sweetheart deal so out of the ordinary that Weiss’s minions could not answer a judge’s simple questions about it, and that the ever-entitled Hunter’s defense lawyers foolishly blew up over fear of a hypothetical prosecution on tougher charges that Weiss patently had no intention to bring.

Nonsense. This is a huge win for the White House. Hunter Biden’s tax problems are nothing. Joe Biden is the head of a crime family guilty of high treason.

Hunter Biden’s tax evasion reminds me of Al Capone’ tax evasion that brought him down with 11 years in federal prison, fined $50,000 plus $7,692 for court costs, and was held liable for $215,000 plus interest due on his back taxes. Likewise for Hunter, you can run but you can’t hide from the I.R.S. like his daddy said, “it’s time large corporations and the wealthiest Americans pay their fair share.” He will be beaten like a tin drum.

It is all just a show put on by the DOJ. Hunter is very safe under their watch.

I am hoping that this is the first domino to fall.

I still think there is a reason for all of this coming out at this time. They want Joe gone and the more scandals that are surrounding him, the easier it will be for them to replace him.

That’s a great metaphor - but unfortunately, if you leave enough space between the first domino and the second - the first will fall without triggering a cascade of the rest.

Hunter committed a hundred crimes - 99 of which lead right to Joe Biden like a column of dominos. Thats why they indicted him for not paying his taxes - it’s the one Hunter crime that has nothing to do with Joe.

It’s the one domino far enough away from the rest…

“They want Joe gone and the more scandals that are surrounding him, the easier it will be for them to replace him.”

That, and if he is convicted prior to January, 2025, Joe can pardon him.

This guy’s assertion that he supported trump’s first impeachment now has me simply disinterested in what he has to say about anything at this point. And I’m certain the bloviating and obsequious Clay Travis can’t wait to have him on the show today .

Strange that no one in the media is asking where Hunter got the money on which he failed to pay taxes and for what services was he paid these millions. Al Capone was jailed for not paying taxes for the millions he made in illegally not for the crimes he committed making these millions nor for the murders he ordered.

Joe Biden’s been trying like hell to resurrect whoring crackhead Hunter into
some semblance of a human being, and now Hunter is being subjected to the law.


Egged on by his dad, Hunter’s trying to weasel out of the charges, saying he was a “victim,”
and “out of it,” a full blown druggie, abusing crack cocaine, and other substances, at the time.

What a crock.

During periods where Hunter claims to have been “out of it,” a “hopeless junkie,”
<><>he was a key player in a global influence-peddling scheme,
<><>he had a full-fledged tax-paid Secret Service detail
<><>he was jetting globally, getting free rides on Air Force Two
<><>he was selling out the US, left and right
<><>he was undermining American families’ safety and security,
<><>he was setting up a sophisticated money laundering operation
<><>he was coordinating a complex labyrinth of LLC accounts
<><>AND netting millions of dollars for himself, dad, and the Biden Crime Family.

And........ the income upon which the tax was not paid is trivial to the illegal funds Hunter holds in off shore venues.
