It is a nice distraction as they try to avoid financial issues that may cause problems for someone else.
It should be interesting. I have seen lots of charges from the forms, but they all revolved around straw purchases and felons. Never seen this one made, but you would need to be looking and need a gotcha moment. Wonder what the statistics on the charges and their outcomes are.
Interestingly, the constitutionality of the third is being challenged in another case on the basis that the statute violates the Second Amendment.
My question is why would Joe allow Hunter to be indicted? According to MAGA nation, Joe Biden has absolute control over the Department of Justice and that a Special Counsel is independent in name only or is that description just applicable to Jack Smith? Kind of reminds me of the stolen election narrative. If the Dems were able to fix the election in favor of Joe Biden why didn't they do so for the down ballot elections? Another point, according to James Comer Hunter is guilty of the charges yet Republicans keep reminding us that Trump isn't guilty of any of the charges against him because he has yet to be found guilty in a court of law. I don't recall a jury rendering a verdict in Hunter's case although maybe Comer (implicitly) believes in a different standard for the former president.
If they can indict Hunter Biden for lying on federal forms they can indict any of us. He’s just standing in the way.
I was just thinking about getting high on crack and purchasing a weapon, now I dont know what to do, its like we're living in 1984
I don’t believe Hunter Biden purposely lied on a federal form. I think he was just “stoned out of his gourd” and had no idea what he was doing when he completed the at issue form. Interesting that folks who support greater restrictions on gun purchases…… have no problem with a drug addled Hunter Biden buying and possession a handgun.
As a retired CPA I can assure you there is no statute of limitations for cases involving fraud. When unreported income exceeds a percentage of total income it can automatically be deemed fraud. I am pretty sure that no one is authorized to grant immunity for future crimes.
Debates in 2024 will be movie theatre butter popcorn worthy... Joe Biden: "we need better background checks for gun purchases" Donald Trump: "yep, we sure as hell do, Hunter."
If they pursue it. That's the key question. The Burisma income not being reported is one facet. Writing off prostitutes, strippers and sex club memberships as business expenses is another. The issue with the latter is it demonstrates willful intent of the former and vice versa. So it's a lock, if they pursue it, but will they?
Of course, the real story here is that of integrity and intelligence amongst liberal lawyers. A month ago Hunter’s liberal criminal defense lawyers and Joe’s liberal DOJ prosecutors were just going to let “High on coke Hunter” walk. That is truly sad.
The older I get, the more I realize I've been lied to. This sort of thing has been going on forever. Not that it excuses the behavior at all, but certain lawyers have become comfortable with these tactics, as they've seen them deployed time and again over the years.
Criminal defense lawyers, many of whom were once prosecutors, pretty much possess the same moral compass as their clients.
I've said this before and I will say it again. If Hunter Biden broke the law and he should be punished. At the end of the day he wasn't a government employee and wasn't a part of the Obama White House so why is this even a story?
