Plea Deal??

[Jim at Gentex]

Yep.
Everyone can now say Hunter Biden was investigated and plead guilty to 3 charges. 

Problem is that we all know they only charged him with about 0.1% of what was actually found on the laptop.

Like Newb said, anyone can download a copy of that hard drive from the interwebz and see it for yourself, but you would probably end up with a charge of possession of child p0rn. 

But as far as the left is concerned, it is now case closed, and Hunter will get ZERO jail time.

Two-tiered just-us system FTW.

Does anybody believe for one second that any of Trump's kids would have got a free pass on a felony gun charge?

im old enough to remember Trump's daughter basically being labeled the anti-Christ by the fake news for having a clothing line sold at a retailer.

So, what about the human trafficking, bribery, money laundering and not registering as a foreign agent charges?

Yeh, Charley would get off that too.
Same as Hunter...

Randy Andy as well.
Buggering little girls only got him a slap on the wrist...from his Mum...

3 tier!
Don't forget royalty (Charley) is immune from any and all prosecution.
He can actually kill someone with zero prosecution.
And he doesn't need a driving licence or insurance LoL

So kind of like Ted Kennedy....

Oops! Sorry! I thought the title was Pee Deal. Carry on!

No, that was in R. Kelly's court case.

Garland said that he had a hands off approach to the special counsels office. So somebody is lying here. Maybe everybody is lying, who knows.

Two IRS whistleblowers have come forward to allege to Congress that President Joe Biden's Department of Justice buried evidence implicating Hunter Biden in tax crimes.

Rep. Jason Smith (R-MO) made the announcement during a press conference on Thursday, saying that U.S. Attorney David Weiss tried to bring charges against Hunter Biden in two different jurisdictions last year but was denied both times.

U.S. Attorney David Weiss tried to bring charges against Hunter Biden in two different jurisdictions last year but was denied both times.

You would think there would be paperwork involved that could verify his claim, no?

Unless the denial to prosecute is just a yay or nay decision, the DoJ may have some 'splainin to do. 

Of course, we all know it will go precisely nowhere and Hunter will fly away free as a bird, so what's the point?

They'll all just say, "We don't discuss on going investigations" and then that's the end of it.

If they ask David Wiess, he won't answer because the mafia and the FBI don't snitch without retribution.

Chris Rock's 'Selective Outrage" show...

whistle blowers are naming names, finally.

Mr. Shapley, leader of an elite team of agents specializing in international tax investigations, was brought in as supervisor of the Hunter case in January 2020. He says he quickly was stopped from taking normal investigatory steps. One example: He says his team was told in September 2020 by Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf that they couldn't pursue a search warrant of Joe Biden's guest house (Hunter's onetime residence) because of the "optics" and because "there is no way we will get that approved."

In December 2020 the team wanted to search a storage unit in Virginia where Hunter had moved business documents. Ms. Wolf again objected, then tipped off Hunter's defense counsel, "ruining our chance to get to evidence before being destroyed, manipulated, or concealed," Mr. Shapley said. Federal Bureau of Investigation headquarters also tipped Hunter's Secret Service team to a proposed "day of action" in which members of U.S. Attorney David Weiss's team intended to conduct surprise interviews of witnesses—including Hunter. This gave a group "close to Hunter" the opportunity to "obstruct the approach," and of the "12 interviews we hoped to conduct on our day of action, we only got one substantive interview." Hunter lawyered up.

Along the way, according to Mr. Shapley's testimony, Ms. Wolf told investigators not to ask any questions about "dad" or "the big guy." They were blocked from pursuing leads about the financial transactions of Hunter's children, since she said they'd get "into hot water if we interview the president's grandchildren." They were ordered not to look into evidence of campaign-finance violations. They were told to take Hunter's name off official document requests, which Mr. Shapley said was "absolutely absurd." The second whistleblower told the committee that he became "sick of fighting to do what's right."

According to Mr. Shapley, the Weiss team was prepared to pursue these charges but was blocked by Biden appointees—despite Attorney General Merrick Garland's public claim of Mr. Weiss's independence. Mr. Shapley notes that the proper venue for a tax case is where a subject resides or a return is filed; in Hunter's case, the District of Columbia or California. But he says the U.S. attorney in the capital, Matthew Graves, refused to bring charges, and when Mr. Weiss asked for authority to bring charges there, he "was denied." Mr. Shapley said U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada of California's Central District, similarly declined to bring charges. Messrs. Graves and Estrada were both appointed by Joe Biden.

The Justice Department told the Journal on Thursday: "As both the Attorney General and U.S. Attorney David Weiss have said, U.S. Attorney Weiss has full authority over this matter, including responsibility for deciding where, when, and whether to file charges as he deems appropriate."
 

These actions, and the lapsing of the statute of limitations, spared Hunter the gravest charges—those relating to his 2014 and 2015 tax returns, which Mr. Shapley says showed his "scheme to evade" taxes and possible FARA violation: "The purposeful exclusion of the 2014 and 2015 years sanitized the most substantive criminal conduct and concealed material facts." Mr. Shapley says that Hunter still hasn't reported or paid tax on some $400,000 of Burisma income.

Mr. Shapley provided further evidence of influence peddling. He gave the committee a 2017 WhatsApp message in which Hunter tells a Chinese businessman "I am sitting here with my father" and pushes the businessman to fulfill a "commitment." He warns the businessman to personally resolve the issue that night, or "I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction." Mr. Shapley also says that Hunter's partner, Rob Walker, admitted to investigators that a Joe Biden appearance (while out of office) at a Hunter business meeting with the Chinese was "orchestrated" to "bolster" the "chances at making a deal work out." Mr. Shapley says Hunter's attorney warned prosecutors that any charges would be "career suicide."
