The weaponized Department of Justice ultimately chose to enter into a plea agreement regarding the law-breaking that Hunter Biden committed. Two charges involved his taxes and one charge involved a gun. The DOJ waited five years to see what would happen in the probe into Hunter and the accusations of influence-peddling against the Biden family.
The DOJ put out a statement on the charges and the plea deal.
Hunter Biden has been charged with two misdemeanor tax offenses and a felony firearm offense and has agreed to enter a plea of guilty to the tax offenses and enter into a pre-trial diversion agreement with regard to the firearm charge at a proceeding to be scheduled by the assigned United States District Court judge.
According to the tax Information, Hunter Biden received taxable income in excess of $1,500,000 annually in calendar years 2017 and 2018. Despite owing in excess of $100,000 in federal income taxes each year, he did not pay the income tax due for either year.
According to the firearm Information, from on or about October 12, 2018 through October 23, 2018, Hunter Biden possessed a firearm despite knowing he was an unlawful user of and addicted to a controlled substance.
A declaration at the bottom of the statement reads, “The investigation is ongoing.”

President Trump reacted to the news almost immediately on Truth Social stating:
“Wow! The corrupt Biden DOJ just cleared up hundreds of years of criminal liability by giving Hunter Biden a mere “traffic ticket.” Our system is BROKEN!”
Hunter Biden’s attorney, Christopher Clark, was interviewed after the plea was revealed.
In his statement, Clark stated that he anticipated Hunter Biden would be “released without any conditions.” He did acknowledge that the judge will ultimately decide how to proceed.

Before it becomes official, the judge must accept the plea deal, which, barring anything strange, he or she is likely to do.
The interviewer questioned, “The prosecutors are not asking for jail time. Are you concerned that the judge here might freelance?”
“I think what’s fair is my client gets on with his life,” Clarke answered.

Then, incredibly, Clark claims he “can’t recall being asked about” Hunter’s laptop by the feds. He went on, “You’d have to ask the prosecutors.”

What does that suggest, therefore, if it turns out to be true? Has the FBI ever even attempted to investigate the laptop? The laptop had some information on the charges that Hunter plead guilty to. The laptop contained the number of guns he had.
However, it’s improbable that they didn’t ask him, and if they didn’t, House Republicans needs to demand to know what was happening with the laptop and whether the matters on it were ever even investigated.
The interviewer queries him about whether he has seen any evidence of the influence peddling Republicans claim is on the laptop. The attorney initially claims he hasn’t seen any such documentation. He dismissively says that he’s only seen people waving “a variety of random emails around.”

In spite of what computer repairman John Paul Mac Isaac has claimed, he brings up the Democrat talking point that the laptop’s data was “stolen,” but he didn’t give any proof of that being the case.
He asserts that there was no “proof” of any wrongdoing or influence peddling by the Bidens, but he also appears to be denying that he has seen the laptop. The MSNBC interviewer, who most likely voted for Joe Biden, doesn’t object to him at all.
She didn’t even ask him for proof that the laptop was “stolen,” then she goes on to imply that “I might sue” if she were in his shoes, clearly helping Hunter’s lawyer and the Biden family out. She’ll surely be invited to a Biden family party to hobnob with the bigwigs.
The full interview is below.
After his brother Beau passed away in 2015, Mr. Biden’s second son, who has acknowledged having drug issues, was the subject of a lengthy Justice Department inquiry that was put to a stop by the agreement.
Additionally, it prevents a trial that would have given the White House days or weeks of distracting news.
Clark stated that he believes the five-year inquiry into his client “is resolved.”
“Hunter will take responsibility for two instances of misdemeanour failure to file tax payments when due pursuant to a plea agreement,” Clark relayed to NBC News.
“A firearm charge, which will be subject to a pretrial diversion agreement and will not be the subject of the plea agreement, will also be filed by the government.
“I know Hunter believes it is important to take responsibility for these mistakes he made during a period of turmoil and addiction in his life. He looks forward to continuing his recovery and moving forward.”
According to a prominent GOP investigator, recently revealed emails between Hunter and his associates with the Obama White House raise questions about Joe Biden’s assertions that he knew nothing of his son’s business operations.
Based on emails which the National Archives recently handed to the conservative nonprofit America First Legal, Hunter Biden and his then-business associates were frequently in contact with senior officials in the Obama administration while Joe Biden was vice president.
The chairman of the House Oversight Committee, James Comer (R-KY), claimed the emails show Joe Biden has repeatedly “lied to the American people when he said he had no knowledge of his son’s business dealings.” Comer is heading a thorough probe into the Biden family.
According to recently discovered emails, Hunter Biden and his colleagues requested entry to the White House and formal government functions.
“We know Hunter Biden’s business associates visited the White House numerous times during the Obama-Biden administration, and now-unearthed emails reveal Hunter Biden and his associates sought access to the White House and official government events,” Comer declared.
“The House Oversight Committee will continue to follow the Bidens’ complex financial transactions to determine the extent of their influence peddling schemes to determine if President Biden is compromised and our national security is threatened.”
