So today, Hunter Biden is expected to plead guilty to a couple of misdemeanor accounts of failing to pay his taxes at a federal courthouse in Delaware. That is according to NBC News. It's the first time that the Justice Department has brought charges against the child of a sitting president, but of course the charges have been knocked way, way, way down. Because according to IRS whistleblowers, |
| 0:41.1 | this dude, Hunter Biden, took in literally $17.3 million on behalf of the family over the course of 2014 and 2019. And then |
| 0:47.7 | the IRS and the DOJ and the FBI all waited until a bunch of the tax evasion charges had basically |
| 0:53.9 | fallen off the radar. |
| 0:55.0 | They went beyond the statute of limitations. |
| 0:57.3 | And then, of course, they apparently, according to the IRS whistleblowers, denied David Weiss, |
| 1:01.0 | the U.S. attorney in this case, the ability to pursue the case as a special counsel, |
| 1:04.7 | which would have allowed him to do interviews in certain ways and charge in certain districts. |
| 1:08.5 | They did not pursue any lines of inquiry about how exactly the money passed to Hunter and then whether that money passed from Hunter to the big guy, Joe Biden. The media are going to play this up as though the DOJ and the FBI really did their job here, but this is a sweetheart plea arrangement and everybody knows it. According to NBC News, Biden is expected to follow the terms of the plea agreement he reached last month with U.S. Attorney David Weiss, outlining the charges, Weiss's office said in a statement, Hunter Biden received taxable income in excess of $1.5 million annually in 2017-2018. Despite owning an excess of $100,000 in federal income taxes every year, he did not pay any income tax due for either year. I mean, put aside the irony of the fact that Joe Biden is constantly talking |
| 1:45.4 | about how the rich are escaping their taxes and how the rich don't pay their share and how his son |
| 1:51.3 | is the rich who didn't pay his fair share. I promise you, I paid a lot of money in taxes last year. |
| 1:56.1 | I paid way more than my fair share. This dude paid pretty much nothing, 27, 2018. |
| 2:01.8 | The fact is that Hunter Biden is being let off the hook. |
| 2:04.8 | Because his father is the president, as per our usual arrangement, |
| 2:07.7 | Biden was facing a separate gun charge for illegally owning a Colt Cobra 38 special handgun. |
| 2:13.4 | But the DOJ said that he had reached a pretrial agreement that allowed him to essentially go to drug rehab instead of being charged for lying on federal forms. Again, put aside the irony of the fact that Joe Biden has basically said that you, the law-abiding gun owner, should not have a gun. And that Hunter Biden gets to go to drug rehab after apparently lying on federal forms about being a drug addict in order to obtain a gun, which then ended up dumped in a dumpster near a high school. Put aside all of that, the fact is that this is once again |
| 2:38.4 | a sweetheart plea arrangement. Now, there is a sort of late-breaking story with regard to the |
| 2:42.6 | sweetheart plea arrangement. The New York Post reporting it yesterday, first son Hunter Biden's |
