CIA blocked feds from interviewing Hunter Biden’s ‘sugar brother’ Kevin Morris during five-year tax probe
New York Post ^ | March 21, 2024 | Josh Christenson

The CIA blocked federal investigators from interviewing Hunter Biden’s “sugar brother” Kevin Morris during a five-year probe into the first son’s tax crimes

...

the intelligence agency stopped IRS and Justice Department investigators from interviewing Morris in August 2021, a Hollywood lawyer and patron of the first son...

The whistleblower informed Oversight chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) and Judiciary chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) that two DOJ officials were summoned to CIA headquarters in Langley, Va. — and told Morris “could not be a witness” for their investigation into Hunter Biden.

...

these allegations track with other evidence showing how the DOJ deviated from its standard investigative practices during the investigation of Hunter Biden.”

...

the account “seems to corroborate our concerns about DOJ’s deviations from standard process to provide Hunter Biden with preferential treatment,” which have been unearthed as evidence during their impeachment inquiry into his father

...

Two IRS whistleblowers alleged last year that the Justice Department ran interference .. by preventing other witnesses from testifying and barring tax investigators from asking questions that could lead to Biden.

Morris, 60, was interviewed by the House Ways and Means, Oversight and Judiciary Committees on Jan. 18 and said that he has loaned the 54-year-old first son at least $5 million since meeting him at a political fundraiser for his father in Hollywood in late 2019.

Those loans began a month after he met Hunter and continued through 2022, as the Justice Department was finalizing its tax investigation into the president’s son, which initially resulted in a probation-only plea deal.

But that plea agreement imploded in a Delaware federal courtroom last July under questioning from US District Judge Maryellen Noreika, who asked prosecutors about the scope of an immunity provision buried in it.

This we already know:

When the Hunter/Morris relationship began, Morris was playing the role of “loyal Democratic donor,” a hard-core activist, a Biden backer, who showed up when he was told. He was introduced to Hunter at a 2019 Joe Biden political fundraiser.

Soon after......as if pre-planned......the hand-picked Morris was giving Hunter legal advice AND copious amounts of money, including paying off Hunter’s long-delinquent taxes (before criminal charges were filed).

The Morris money also included paying for Hunter’s lavish lifestyle.......perhaps even Hunter’s coke addiction?


The wily Morris may be most eager to avoid the label “Democratic donor” because the Hunter payments could be viewed as an “unreported campaign donation to Joe Biden.”

Most auspiciously, Morris was brought into the protected Biden domain during Joe Biden’s campaign for president.

On February 7, 2020, Morris bellyached how paying Hunter’s taxes was a “considerable risk personally and politically,” a veiled message to Joe Biden, calling for help......and perhaps more money to launder?

Where, in fact, did Morris get all that money he was lavishing on Hunter? Just laying around? No place to spend it.....until Hunter came along?


Morris seems now to have resolved his “political liability” of paying off Hunter’s taxes, now calling it a “loan.”

Morris’ millions are now on the table as “loans” because, if they are actually gifts, they could create a new tax problem for Hunter ......having to declare such “gifts” to the IRS.

The Morris “loans” would continue. Morris insists that it was all standard “loan” stuff. Except Morris is not a “lender,” nor a bank.

AND, he repeatedly referred to Hunter as his “client.”

It is increasingly hard to discern what the Morris/Biden relationship was at any given moment:
<><>Morris is a hard core Democrat, an activist, a campaign donor, a Biden backer.
<><>he was also depicted as 1. Hunter’s lender, 2. his lawyer, 3. his friend, 4. and art client
<><>whether the Morris/Biden role-playing was entirely calculated is significant
<><>the two met meeting at a Joe Biden fund-raiser in 2019,
<><>Morris said he ‘loaned’ the president’s son at least $5 million.
<><>Morris said repayment was not required til Biden’s presidential election
<><>Morris said the ‘loans’ may ultimately be forgiven.
<><>left unclear is ‘when’ Morris lent Hunter money
<><>and ‘when’ Morris took on his other Biden-protected roles.

Morris insists it was all standard ‘loan’ stuff.
<><>except Morris is not a bank, and Hunter was routinely called his legal ‘client’

The Morris/Hunter role smells of de facto campaign contributions to Joe Biden.
<><>Morris’ role-playing to shield Biden’s campaign from political liabilities is disturbing,
<><>professional ethical rules are designed to avoid a blurring of client/lawyer roles.
<><>as a member, Morris is in violation of the Calif Bar’s Rules of Professional Conduct.
<><>Morris has now admitted to providing personal funds to bail out Hunter
<><>Hunter has been confirmed to be a client – or reasonably believes himself to be Morris’s client
<><>this violates the Rules of Professional Conduct and well-known norms of the legal profession.

Kevin Morris’ deposition invoked attorney/client privilege
at least 17 times to avoid questions about “loaning”
Hunter Biden some $5M (which may be “forgiven”)
Just the News ^ | 1/22/24 | Steven Richards
FR Posted on 1/23/2024, 8:07:20 AM by CFW

In his deposition last week, Hollywood lawyer Kevin Morris and his lawyer invoked attorney-client privilege at least 17 times over questions related to his payments and work for Hunter Biden.

According to the transcript of the testimony reviewed by Just the News, Morris said that he began representing Biden about one week after the December 2019 California fundraiser for his father, Joe Biden, who became president in 2020. The details surrounding this meeting were previously reported by Just the News.

Morris’ early representation of Hunter Biden allowed him to invoke the privilege frequently, to avoid answering questions about his first meeting with the first son, how he paid Hunter Biden’s other attorneys and about the planning for Hunter Biden’s defiant speech in front of the Capitol while avoiding complying with his first congressional subpoena.

Specifically, Morris attempted to invoke the privilege regarding his acquisition of one of Hunter Biden’s companies after Joe Biden’s inauguration. Additionally, he denied claims that he was motivated by political concerns to help the first son solve his tax issues and stay afloat during his father’s campaign, which was indicated by evidence from the IRS whistleblowers last year.

Morris did not respond to a request for comment from Just the News about his testimony.

According to the transcript, Morris claimed that his legal representation of Hunter Biden was “global and complete” and therefore argued that almost any detail of their relationship is off limits to congressional investigators. Yet despite this, Morris told the committee that he had not represented Hunter directly in the past three years.

In one example, Morris refused to answer how much in loans he provided to Hunter Biden to pay his legal fees.

“So have you paid millions of dollars for Hunter Biden’s legal fees via loans?” an investigator asked.

The CIA protects drug addicts, whore-mongers, sexual weirdos and people who sell out their country. They also protect Biden’s thugs who ‘lost’ thousands of young children to kiddie whore houses...

They don’t put their thumb on the scales - they put their fists on the scales.

And in exchange for the power we grant them? They ferment wars, hatred between citizens, and destabilization in our own country. They feed their butt boys in the press and bully anyone who dares to stand up to them. The old KGB is their guide for how thugs and bullies can push little people around.

Is funding this horror really worth finding out which world ‘leaders’ have mistresses? It’s time for a little accountability.

Occam’s Razor... CIA will claim that Brandon & Hunter are actually paid informants and/or double agents.

So, the CIA paid Hunter’s taxes?

Having someone else pay his taxes is also taxable income.

Hunter would not have to declare any gift income. That responsibility lies with Morris. Morris can delay the gift tax, by calling it a loan.

If he does that, there must be documentation supporting that loan, to include interest payments. You can't give out noninterest bearing loans ad infinitum.

Of course, that's how it's supposed to work in real life. The rules are thrown out for Biden family and loyalists.

I’m starting to like this scam. I could loan my children tons of money, zero interest, with no paperwork, and forgivable upon my death. That way I could cut them out of my will and disown them. If I need any money they could just make a loan payment. What a tax dodge.

These payments represent huge taxable income items for Hunter.

Forgiveness of debt is taxable income.. is Hunter declaring it?
