    Hunter Biden faces nine criminal charges in federal tax case | CNN Politics


    Hunter Biden has been charged in connection with a long-running Justice Department investigation into his taxes – the second criminal case that special counsel David Weiss has brought against President Joe Biden’s son.

    The charges span nine counts, including failure to file and pay taxes; evasion of assessment; and false or fraudulent tax return. CNN was first to report a new criminal case had been filed.

    According to the special counsel’s team, Hunter Biden “engaged in a four-year scheme to not pay at least $1.4 million” in taxes that he owed from 2016 through 2019. Though Hunter Biden did eventually pay his taxes from 2018, prosecutors allege that he included “false business deductions in order to evade assessment of taxes to reduce the substantial tax liabilities he faced.”

    No person in history has ever been treated worse or so unfairly as Hunter Biden.

    If they can go after the President’s son, imagine what they can do to you.

    I know you’re being sarcastic, but it is interesting how Hunter became their surrogate punching bag because they can’t get to Joe.

    On one side we have the former president, and on the other we have the current presidents son.

    Question: how do you shut a witness up who has damning information agsinst another guy and prevent him from being compelled to testify?

    Answer: Indict him for crimes concerning the very material he could damn your guy with, thereby locking the information up behind the 5th Amendment.

    The deep state is so transparent it's pathetic.

    Or, back in actual reality, a Trump holdover goes after Hunter because there is nothing on Joe. Also to give the House GOP and right wing media something to spin into something it isn't.

    LOL! They had access to the info buttressing the indictment for some 5 years, but don't drop the hammer until now. Why?

    Bc Comer was getting ready to subpoena Hunter. Just like the bit coin dude. Indicted on the eve of testifying b4 congress. Coinkidinky?

    Well, at least they didn't suicide him like Epstein. Maybe they can squeeze his nuts and get him to sing, right? Agsinst hid dad....the POTUS...


    I'll be holding my baited breath...

    I would like to go on record that I will never vote for Hunter Biden or Donald Trump. Two criminally indicted pervs with loose morals and shady dealings.

    It seems to me that if Joe Biden has the power to weaponize the DOJ against Trump as Republican politicians and the right-wing media as well as Trump himself have been alleging logically he would also be utilizing the same authority over the agency to protect Hunter.

    Yeah, and if the DOJ goes after Hunter, that's evidence of a deep state conspiracy. If the DOJ doesn't go after Hunter, that also proves there's a deep state conspiracy.

    It wouldn't surprise me if members of the Cult of the Donald including Republican politicians start floating the narrative that Joe is willing to sacrifice his own son to prove that his weaponized DOJ is neutral. Keep in mind the same types have also been floating the narrative that the January 6th attack on the Capitol was a false flag operation.

    no other person would have been criminally charged for this just like no other person would have been criminally indicted for the gun form he signed. this is 100% political.

    Same as if Trump wasn't running for President, he wouldn't have 91 indictments. I not saying in both cases there wasn't potential law breaking going on, but in both cases, it is 100% political.
