"Federal agents see chargeable [taxes-related case], [and a] gun-purchase case against Hunter Biden"
| quote | | Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, a Trump appointee, must decide whether to charge the son of the current president |
|
Here's how it starts:
| quote | Federal agents investigating President Biden’s son Hunter have gathered what they believe is sufficient evidence to charge him with tax crimes and a false statement related to a gun purchase, according to people familiar with the case. The next step is for the U.S. Attorney in Delaware, a Trump administration holdover, to decide on whether to file such charges, these people said.
The investigation into Hunter Biden began in 2018, and became a central focus for then-president Donald Trump during his unsuccessful 2020 reelection effort. Initially, the investigation centered around Hunter Biden’s finances related to overseas business ties and consulting work. Over time, investigators with multiple agencies focused closely on whether he did not report all of his income, and whether he lied on gun purchase paperwork in 2018, according to the people familiar with the situation, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing case.
Agents determined months ago they had assembled a viable criminal case against the younger Biden. But it is ultimately up to prosecutors at the Justice Department, not agents, to decide whether to file charges in cases where prosecutors believe the evidence is strong enough to lead to a likely conviction at trial.
Given the intense political interest in a criminal probe involving the son of a sitting president, Attorney General Merrick Garland has made clear that the U.S. Attorney in Delaware, David C. Weiss, who was nominated by Trump in late 2017, is supervising the case.
Garland has vowed there will be no political or otherwise improper interference in the Hunter Biden case, and has not moved to push Weiss to make a decision, the people familiar with the matter said. It is not uncommon for Justice Department investigations to take years to finish. Justice Department policy would require any criminal tax charges to be approved by the department’s tax division.
A spokeswoman for Weiss declined to comment, as did spokespeople for the Justice Department, and the FBI and the IRS, the two primary investigative agencies. |

There's a headphones icon at the top of the article. If anyone wants to listen to it being read, instead of reading it themselves.

Exactly, I will believe it when I see him in jail. This is deflection from "10% for the big guy".

OK, let me see if I understand this...
Prince Hunter circumvented laws designed to prevent criminals and druggies from owning guns, thereby illegally obtaining an evil object of mayhem. All the while, "The Big Guy" wants us to believe that gun laws keep guns out of the hands of those who should not have them.
Also, didn't daddy just spend a bunch of your money to insure that "rich folks pay their fair share"? Will any of those 87,000 armed IRS agents be tasked with investigating US citizens who sit on the boards of foreign energy companies?
Do I have this pretty close to right?
Folks, you can't make this stuff up and you can't tell the players without a program docket.

"Shall not be infringed"
Gun (and weapon in general) laws are a joke planet-wide. Being armed and able to defend ones-self and ones property IS a universal human right. Screw the "laws" that say you must be helpless and unable to fight back.
Remember, not all THAT long ago a certain group decided that another certain group "should not have guns", and that didnt turn out very well. All perfectly "legal" though.
But, then......

Hunter bought a gun. He obviously was planning to commit mayhem. I have it on good authority that there is no other reason for anyone to own a gun.
Biden is Biden's worst nightmare.

You know what would really make my day? When the heat gets cranked up, if Hunter Boy would self identify as a canary, wouldn't that be fun?
