Hunter Biden in Trouble with his Taxes.

The only picture of Hunter Biden laptop. Maybe.

At no time did any individual…have Mr. Biden's consent to access his computer data or share it with others."

He gave consent via his repair agreement, when he left it there. Acknowledging that might be awkward for at least 51 former 'intelligence' officials lol

If I were to leave a computer to be repaired, I would certainly not expect my data to be accessed, and definitely not copied or shared.

You sound like a guy who does his own tech work.

I left a phone unrepaired, because I didn't want to hand it over, understanding the agreement.

What agreement? You are making things up.

Back to the taxes. The tax charges came back in CA

Breaking news: Hunter Biden indicted on tax evasion charges in California, raising possibility of second criminal trial for president's son in 2024.
Prosecutors accused the younger Biden of failing to pay at least $1.4 million in federal taxes from 2016 through 2019, a time when he was struggling with drug addiction.

(he has already paid these taxes)

Comer: the Hunter California case is just a distraction to prevent Hunter from testifying to Congress about Joe's crimes!

DOJ man Weiss acting petty

Weiss has no business having hurt feelings about his poorly handled plea bargain that collapsed under the commonsense questions asked by the presiding judge about the scope of the agreement and whether it was appropriate for the court—rather than the prosecution—to determine if Biden would be in compliance with the terms of his diversion agreement.

Indicting Hunter Biden for tax evasion when he has already paid back the taxes smacks of unfair treatment. As former Attorney General Eric H. Holder, Jr. put it on CNN, numerous former U.S. Attorneys—both Democratic and Republican—told him that they would not have brought the tax case.

If the case has a jury in CA, it will end up a hung jury.

Best thing for Joe would be for Hunter to go to jail soon.

See, this, this is why right-thinking people don't trust mainstream media. Trying to tell us that Hunter Biden didn't actually give half of his income to his father. As if anybody would believe that.

'Hunter Biden Text Cited in Impeachment Inquiry Is Not What G.O.P. Suggests'

In January 2019, Hunter Biden sent a text message to his daughter Naomi.

“I Hope you all can do what I did and pay for everything for this entire family Fro 30 years,” he wrote in the typo-filled message. “It’s really hard. But don’t worry unlike Pop I won’t make you give me half your salary.”

As they pursue their impeachment inquiry into President Biden, House Republicans have seized on that message and others sent to or from his son to try to link the president — “Pop,” in this case — to Hunter Biden’s business activities, suggesting that members of the Biden family reaped millions from a global influence-peddling scheme.

In the case of the message from Hunter Biden to his daughter, Republicans have portrayed it as evidence that he was privately acknowledging that he split his income with his father, who in early 2019 was out of office but preparing to begin the campaign that would put him in the White House. That income included the millions of dollars that Hunter Biden received from Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian gas company, and from a company owned by a Chinese energy tycoon.

...

The story behind the message, as explained by the Bidens and backed up by other interviews and a review of Hunter Biden’s emails and text messages, offers sometimes unflattering insights into the family’s finances and internal dynamics. And it adds more detail to what is known about Hunter Biden’s erratic and irresponsible behavior while in the throes of addiction.

But it is very different from the story being promoted by House Republicans and their allies.

Rather than evidence that Hunter had split his foreign income with his father, the 2019 message was a reference to a story from Hunter’s youth that he repeated to his daughters when they became teenagers. It was prompted by a family dispute, fueled by Hunter Biden’s drug use, money troubles and personal resentments, according to the review of Hunter Biden’s communications and interviews with Biden aides, family friends, and Hunter and Naomi Biden.

It started with a freak ski accident at the start of 2019.

Naomi Biden, 25 at the time, and her then-boyfriend, Peter Neal, were having lunch at the slope-side Handle Bar Restaurant & Pub at the Four Seasons Jackson Hole ski resort in Wyoming. They received a frantic phone call from Naomi’s younger sister Finnegan, who had skipped lunch with them to continue skiing.

It goes on in detail, describing Hunter Biden doing a 'back in my day' bit with his children, about how his own father was less than generous with him in his younger days.

The article ends with a quote from Naomi Biden (Hunter's daughter):

“He [Hunter Biden] was repeating a story from his university days that I grew up hearing. Do people really think he was texting me things like, ‘I give pop half of the Burisma money’? No. That’s crazy.”

Just what you'd expect a member of the Biden Crime Family to say!!!

Do you have stuff on Hunter in the White House?
Give it to us! Hunter resisting subpoena is the same as Joe resisting!

“In light of an official statement from the White House that President Biden was aware in advance that his son, Hunter Biden, would knowingly defy two congressional subpoenas, we are compelled to examine as part of our impeachment inquiry whether the President engaged in a conspiracy to obstruct a proceeding of Congress,” Comer and Jordan wrote.

"The fact that the President had advanced awareness that Mr. Biden would defy the Committees’ subpoenas raises a troubling new question that we must examine: whether the President corruptly sought to influence or obstruct the Committees’ proceeding by preventing, discouraging, or dissuading his son from complying with the Committees’ subpoenas. Such conduct could constitute an impeachable offense,” they added.

I got a laugh out of Hunter Biden completely outmanoeuvring the GOP today by showing up at his hearing.

[Tero]

Hunter pleaded not guilty in CA court.

Meanwhile:

Well, that was a mess. The House Oversight Committee’s hearing to hold Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress quickly devolved into chaos, with lawmakers shouting over each other, Rep. Nancy Mace grandstanding, and Biden, apparently having had enough, abruptly walking out of the room.

But the hearing was not without relevant lessons. Democratic Rep. Jared Moskowitz of Florida offered to make a deal with his GOP colleagues: He’d vote with them to hold Biden in contempt for failing to cooperate with a committee subpoena if they also agreed to apply the same standards to congressional Republicans who, just last year, also failed to cooperate with a committee subpoena.

They refused.

Another witness in the Republican impeachment/Hunter Biden circle-jerk hearings comes up snake-eyes for them. Of course. The Biden crime family has him scared, or something.

'Hunter Biden associate says president "never involved" in business dealings'

Hunter Biden business associate Rob Walker told Congress on Friday that President Biden "while in office or as a private citizen — was never involved in any of the business activities we pursued."

...

"Any statement to the contrary is simply false," he added.

...

"Based on what has transpired through this inquiry to date, I am very concerned that what I say here today may be taken out of context to further a political objective, rather than to discover the truth," he said.
