    So basically everything we've been claiming about Joe and Hunter was true. I guess our cookie was the election.

    Did you read the article? Hunter's crimes were failure to disclose drug use on a gun ownership check and not paying full, proper taxes on foreign income. Joe wasn't mentioned as committing a single crime.

    The claim Joe wasn't investigated was the report was incomplete. But maybe the report didn't find anything on Joe Biden because all the evidence was fabricated, and why Joe Biden's main accuser just got sentenced for 6 years for lying to the FBI?

    Hey, OP, I see how much you hate crime. Just wanted to let you know that there's a thread on a Special Prosecutor who stated clearly that the subject of his investigation would be found guilty in a trial of........get this........"criminal efforts to retain power" after an election.

    I know that will truly offend you, because you're all pro-America and anti-crime n stuff.

    Right?

    At first glance. It appears that the report is just about Hunter and not a sweeping indictment of the entire family

    Hold on. Do you insinuate that our mod would use a sketchy right wing source to promulgate his unsubstantiated narratives? If so, I must sadly concur. Why do magats and facts always seem so far apart?

    Yes, that.

    Also -and this may just be opinion, I'm really not sure- I was thinking that it would be TOTALLY HYPOCRITICAL for someone to create threads about some crimes......but be totally accepting of other, far more important crimes.

    I was also thinking that a crime against our democracy, a crime to disenfranchise millions of Americans, would be among the worst crimes of all. Surely no True Great American Patriot would just....ignore that!

    Right?

    (I could be wrong, I don't know. I guess we'll see. Maybe hypocrisy is good now. Lying and rape seem OK, so who knows.)

    It is not. First, I do not think Weiss dug into any role Joe Biden had with his son's business. Second, in this report Joe Biden would have been considered an uncharged third party and this is what Weiss intro letter stated:

    Therefore, in drafting this report, I was mindful of Department policies that caution restraint when publicly revealing information about uncharged third parties. Specifically, with respect to "public filings and proceedings," Justice Manual § 9-27.760 provides that prosecutors "should remain sensitive to the privacy and reputation interests of uncharged parties," and that it is generally "not appropriate to identify . . . a party unless that party has been publicly charged with the misconduct at issue." 7 The Justice Manual also sets forth factors to guide the disclosure of information about uncharged individuals, such as their privacy, safety, and reputational interests; the potential effect of any statements on ongoing criminal investigations or prosecutions; whether public disclosure may advance significant law enforcement interests; and other legitimate and compelling governmental interests.

    So according to the article the Biden family made millions trading on the family name. Reminds me of another family that did the same and is reassembling the same parts of the puzzle that it used from late 2015 through 2020. A prime example:
    Trump’s property company in talks to buy back his Washington DC hotel

    Poster makes a huge reach to assign that statement as indication of a Biden crime family as it specifically says it only describes the son's activities.

    sure reads to me that crimes were committed- but am not surprised the libs on thfsg disagree

    fdrom the article:

    “I prosecuted the two cases against Mr. Biden because he broke the law,” Weiss wrote in a passage that refuted years of claims by the family and its defenders that Joe Biden’s son had done nothing wrong.

    “Eight judges across numerous courts have rejected claims that they were the result of selective or vindictive motives,” he added for emphasis.

    Weiss then proceeded to describe the scheme that led to the charges: Hunter Biden traded on his politically powerful family name to collect millions from foreigners seeking influence, performed little work, then failed to pay taxes on some of the income. Some of that money came from Burisma Holdings, the Ukrainian energy firm deemed corrupt by the State Department that prompted the scandal back in 2019 in a series of columns written by this author in The Hill newspaper.

    "Mr. Biden made this money by using his last name and connections to secure lucrative business opportunities, such as a board seat at a Ukrainian industrial conglomerate, Burisma Holdings Limited, and a joint venture with individuals associated with a Chinese energy conglomerate," the prosecutor wrote.

    Hunter Biden was never a part of Joe's admin. And certainly wasn't back in 2019, when Joe was a regular citizen, not holding any office. Hunter is free to making money off his last name. It be be unethical, but there are no laws against it. And the crime Hunter was convicted of was not paying the proper taxes on his foreign income.

    Now, find a connection between Hunter's foreign business dealings and his father Joe. There is none! The only connections came from a person in jail for 6 years for lying to the FBI making up claims Joe profited off of Hunter's business dealings.

    This report confirms Hunter's crimes of lying on a gun background document and not paying full taxes on income. Payments he later paid, if I remember correctly. But a "Biden Crime Family?" No smoke, especially when you remove all of Smirnov's testimony.

    I don't think there is any doubt that Hunter Biden capitalized on his father's name. So far there has been absolutely no evidence that Joe Biden ever received a benefit from Hunter's shenanigans or that Hunter actually influenced Joe Biden although Hunter certainly tried to create the impression that he was able to do so. Once again the last time Hunter tried to pull that stunt was in 2018 when he apparently received gratuities from successfully scamming Chinese interests that he could influence policy through his father keeping in mind that Joe Biden was completely out of government at the time and the Republicans controlled the presidency and both Houses of Congress.
