Hunter Biden has reached a tentative agreement to plead guilty to two minor tax crimes and admit to the facts of a gun charge under terms which would likely keep him out of jail, according to the Washington Post, citing court papers filed on Tuesday.
Spoiler: none of the charges involve Hunter’s role as an international bag man for the Biden family (alleged, of course), which included a $10 million payment from Burisma to Hunter and Joe Biden, according to an FBI source.
The Post, which notably had a 1300 word article whipped up as the charges were announced, writes;
The agreement caps an investigation that was opened in 2018 during the Trump administration, and has generated intense interest and criticism since 2020 from Republican politicians who accused the Biden administration of reluctance to pursue the case. The terms of the proposed deal — negotiated with Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, a holdover from President Donald Trump’s administration — are likely to face similar scrutiny. -WaPo
Hunter, 53, is now expected to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges of failure to pay in 2017 and 2018, for a combined tax liability of roughly $1.2 million. He’ll also admit to illegally possessing a weapon after his 2018 purchase of a handgun – which will likely result in a ‘diversion program’ which would result in the removal of the gun charge if all of the program’s conditions are met.
In total, Hunter will likely receive two years of probation and diversion conditions.
The federal investigation into Hunter Biden began in 2018, and initially centered around Hunter Biden’s finances related to overseas business ties and consulting work. Over time, the international business dealings were dropped from the investigation – perhaps due to Joe Biden’s alleged involvement – and the focus shifted to Hunter’s failure to report his income, as well as whether he lied on paperwork to purchase the gun in 2018.
Of course – this reeks of a containment strategy to avoid implicating the sitting President, as the feds apparently haven’t been looking into ill-gotten gains from a massive international influence-peddling operation while his dad was VP, for which there is ample evidence.
2 years ago, before the last presidential election, we interviewed a former business partner of the Biden family called Tony Bobulinski. His story of influence peddling and corruption went ignored. Bobulinski’s learned quite a bit more recently. Here’s part of what he had to say. pic.twitter.com/mCaEYLbGgw

Guess it’s up to House Republicans to get to the bottom of Hunter’s business dealings. And then what? Does anyone think Biden AG Merrick Garland is going to prosecute the First Son for anything meaningful?
As Jonathan Turley noted earlier this month;
Form 4473 is required for gun purchases like the one of Hunter in 2018. It asks:
Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?
Warning: The use or possession of marijuana remains unlawful under Federal law regardless of whether it has been legalized or decriminalized for medicinal or recreational purposes in the state where you reside.
Hunter reportedly lied and said “no.”
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms maintains this ban applies to people who have admitted to using illegal drugs in the 12 months before buying a gun. Hunter Biden was using drugs before, during, and after that period.
We previously discussed the issue which became even greater news when it was learned that the gun was tossed into a trash bin in Wilmington by Hallie Biden, widow of the deceased brother of Hunter. After the death of his brother Beau, Hunter began a sexual relationship with Hallie and she apparently became concerned about what he might do with the gun.
President Biden has demanded “red flag” enforcement that would also appear to target the conduct of his own son.
Now, Hunter Biden could be arguing against some of these laws as unconstitutional under a more expansive view of the Second Amendment. While most courts have upheld the ban on drug users, Hunter’s lawyers reportedly told the Justice Department that they will challenge the law under Bruen where a six-justice majority declared that such limitations must be consistent with the practices during the founding period.
This is not the first glaring contradiction to arise under the Hunter Biden scandals. President Biden has long campaigned against “deadbeat Dads,” but did not utter a word of concern when his son spent years resisting recognizing or supporting his daughter until a settlement was raised with the help of a court. He is now trying to reduce those payments. The President and First Lady continue to refuse to acknowledge their granddaughter, Navy, as Hunter opposes her use of the family name.
Biden’s arguments in Arkansas, to paraphrase his new found allegiance, appears to be that Navy “I’ll give you my [more child support] when you pry (or take) it from my cold, dead hands.”
Given his father’s call for greater enforcement of red flag laws and gun controls (including permitting requirement), it will be interesting to see how the Justice Department deals with what appears an knowing violation of the federal gun laws. While this is not the charge that most concerns the White House, it is still a charge that can come with a sentence of up to 15 years in prison.
Ironically, when he committed the alleged violation, the penalty was 10 years. The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act raised the maximum penalty for that offense to 15 years. The president who enthusiastically signed that law was Joe Biden.

Everybody knows that lowlife will never do a day in jail. This is just more reality show bullshit for the dumb masses.
Even with all the evidence on his computer of corruption, bribes, drug use and bonking underage girls.
Chip off the old block.
John Solomon was about to release, and will later today, a report that evidence of tax cheating from as far back as 2014 was never given to the IRS by investigators. Also, the DOJ waited for the statute of limitations to expire on the most serious charges, leaving the misdemeanor crap and gun charge. But of course he was suffering from “the scourge of addiction” so they will show even more mercy for that. CNN just reported on how “He was suffering addiction……” So that BS begins.
FJB FJB FJB FJB FJB………….
The IRS has to GIVEN evidence of tax cheating????…….so why do they exist ?,isn’t that THEIR JOB??……
It’s wonderful!

That’s ‘dumb asses’ …
Given the way Hunter leads his life, I think it will be brief.
They’re so predictable.
He should be extradited to China to be executed for pedophilia.
Nah..there are organs to be harvested, if they aren’t too damaged by his drug habits…

None Dare Call It Treason
As I have said before, Hunter faces more danger of incarceration in Arkansas from his obstruction in the child support case. the Dept. of Just Us has all but given him a pass for his misdeeds and can now claim to be unbiased in their prosecutions.
Trump could get a plea deal, but he would have to swear off of politics forever.
Clay Travis nailed it. Less trouble than a Granny let through the door at the Capitol by the Capitol cops who took a selfie, did nothing wrong and left.
I see where the judge has scheduled Trump’s trial in 2 months while some of the J-6 defendants have been sitting in a District of Corruption gulag for 2 years waiting on a trial. They really, really want him out of the race.
But it won’t work…Even if convicted on these bogus charges, there will be endless motions and appeals, and Trump could run from jail if necessary–though I don’t think the Secret Service, required to protect him, will allow that…
I seriously doubt the trial will happen this year, but was pointing out the difference between wanting to get the trial ASAP for Trump to get him out of the race and letting little old grannies sit in the DC gulag for 2 1/2 years without a trial and ZERO bond. Both scenarios send the message the Dept. of Just Us wants to send.
Just us.

Just the Form 4473 violation can get you 10 years. At least that’s what we get told at Palmetto State Armory when we buy a firearm.
Unless your name is Hunter Biden.
A sweetheart deal as GOP does nothing.
” The Democratic Party has declared war against the U.S. Constitution, our laws, and our norms, and the GOP’s response is to fight it with strongly worded letters and idle chit-chat.
Time is running out. You are flushing America down the drain with this passive response.”

Wrist slap.
Wrist slap for him, a huge middle finger to us.
I am waiting for ALL details. I wonder if we will find fine print that this deal covers human trafficking, prostitution, sex with minors, giving drugs to minors, foreign bribes and all the rest?

Once a junkie, always a junkie. Hunter is a bigger liability that his dad, it’s just a matter of time before TPTB slip him a fentanyl booster.
But if there were no gun laws…
