It is almost impossible at this point to let Huter Biden walk away without a rhetorical public flogging for his complicated lifestyle. Drugs, hookers, drugs, baby mamas, hidden assets, and all the access for income ‘deals’ of which he was a part.
But, when it comes to the Department of Justice, the latter is little more than small talk. Cocktail party rumor no one they need not pursue. How Hunter got the money and where it went is not an object of concern. It is his failure to tithe to the IRS gods that is problematic. Despite being surrounded by patriots, Hunter did ot give The State its fair share of his ill-gotten gains. But rather than charge him for the methods by which he acquired his wealth, they are more concerned about their cut.
The IRS is not that different from the Big Guy.
Instead of paying his taxes, Mr. Biden “spent this money on drugs, escorts and girlfriends, luxury hotels and rental properties, exotic cars, clothing, and other items of a personal nature, in short, everything but his taxes,” reads the indictment.According to Mr. Weiss, the charges include three counts of failure to pay taxes for the years 2016, 2017, and 2019, and three counts of failure to file tax returns for the years 2017 and 2018.
“The Defendant spent millions of dollars on an extravagant lifestyle at the same time he chose not to pay his taxes,” reads the indictment.
A Trial for Show
Whatever passes for a trial should be political theatre of little consequence from which Hunter will be expected to apologize, pay fines, and perform some community service, as if selling access to a Vice President to enrich his family is not a public good. A show trial but not the sort engaged in by the J6 committee. This could ease Hunter’s current public image from a reckless son of the elite to a repentant advocate for reform. He could not just seek rehab for any of his indulgences but become a champion of it.
Drug abuse and overdose are a hallmark of Democrat rule in this century. What better poster child for another money laundering scheme than Hunter and a charity through which he can pretend to care about the other addicts enabled by Oval Office policy almost as loose as Hunter himself?
A show trial. As in, for show. Nothing terrible will happen to Hunter unless someone believes he can be leveraged against someone of actual value in the manifold of Democrat Party Demigods. If that were the case, they’d put him in lockup (overnight without bail), have someone shiv him, and then use the family’s grief to fast-walk Joe from the political stage at some point before the November 2024 election.
If This Were Westeros, They Could Send Him to The Wall
I’m spit-balling. A lot of scenarios come to mind. A toothless verdict. Mistrial. A presidential pardon. But with Joe having long since mentally passed his use-by date, even as a Muppet, Hunter isn’t good for much but causing trouble for the people in power.
Pedo-peddler of the elites, Jeffrey Epstein didn’t hang himself. DNC email leaker Seth Rich wasn’t murdered in a robbery gone wrong. I find it unlikely Mark Middleton killed himself with a shotgun with a power cord noose around his neck (just in case the Biden Boomstick didn’t do the job). And Jill Biden isn’t Michelle Obama or Hillary Clinton. Hunter is a deadweight the Media Industrial Complex had managed to protect because of his father, but Joe’s utility is due to sunset.
Perhaps the show trial is a means to distract from his other sins on the way to making him a martyr.
It’s the only punishment he’s likely to suffer, and if he can’t talk, everyone who benefitted from his “business dealings” can breathe a little easier.
Or not.
