(The Center Square) – Hunter Biden, the sole surviving son of President Joe Biden, pleaded guilty Thursday in Los Angeles to avoid a trial on nine federal tax charges that include three felonies and six misdemeanors.
The charges involve failing to file and pay $1.4 million in taxes, filing falsely, and claiming false and fraudulent business deductions.
The House Oversight Committee found the Biden family and associates received more than $20 million from overseas, including entities in China and Russia. The indictment alleges Hunter Biden spent this money on drugs and prostitutes while not paying taxes.
“Between 2016 and October 15, 2020, the Defendant 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,” the indictment said.
Hunter Biden pleaded guilty under an Alford plea, in which one maintains one’s innocence while admitting the prosecution has enough evidence to find one guilty. This is different from a nolo contendere plea, which unlike the Alford plea does not require special court approval, and is often entered in which the defendant neither admits or disputes the charges. While a nolo contendere plea is often viewed as a tacit admission of guilt, the Alford plea is viewed as a relatively lesser admission of guilt. Hunter Biden now avoids a public trial that would involve witnesses detailing his life during the period in which he allegedly committed tax fraud.
Hunter Biden was investigated by the Securities and Exchange Commission for securities fraud under the Trump administration, and was found guilty of felony gun charges for lying about his drug use on a gun purchase form and possessed a firearm while using illicit drugs. Hunter Biden is set to be sentenced for his gun charges, for which he can face up to 25 years in prison and $750,000 in fines, on November 13, a week after the 2024 presidential election.
So when does Hunter’s father and partner in shakedown crime go to trial, and all the money Joe’s family got by using the influence belonging to WE THE PEOPLE that he illegally enriched himself with,,,,when will Joe get fined and return to THE PEOPLE the millions he skimmed off foreign entities to buy Biden favors??? by defunding his crime family back down to the last penny? Dad may be able to pardon Hunter, Or Kamala pardon Joe if she gets elected, but if Trump gets elected who will pardon JOE? or prosecute him for what he did as VEEP and get all the illegal filthy lucre back to THE PEOPLE that belongs to WE THE PEOPLE????? Until these crime families begin to feel he same pain they inflicted upon us, the pain and the crimes will never end but only grow. and encourage others to again misuse the public trust for personal enrichment. We should have prosecuted the Clintons, to have them pay a little,,,but no, Trump did not go after them and Both he and WE THE PEOPLE paid a lot more in pain later,,,,,Please STOP the pain NOW! We need to enforce these laws like we should have enforced our borders. Hard to tell which cost us the more by failing in our due diligence to make our leaders toe the line and FOLLOW the law.
HE Did this because he imo already knows the pardon is signed…
he will never do a day behind bars!
I heard one comentator, saying “HE may just get time served”.
BUT WHAT TIME has he served, since he’s been OUT all this time!?
It doesn’t matter which political party they are a member of, the career professional politicians are our most destructive and deadliest enemies.
They make laws to benefit themselves, they don’t follow the laws that they make and when caught breaking the law or violating the U.S. Constitution, they protect themselves by not charging them.
OR they make laws that flat out EXEMPT them from having to follow.
Policians ae like Western long John underwear,,,they always have a trap door in the back they can rrerea o and hang out and escape.their earned kick in he butt.
Clearly the reason for this “admission of guilt” is to avoid all the eventual open courtroom disclosure of the Biden crime family financial association with Ukraine, Russia and China.

And the ‘Big Guy’. when does he go to trial for HIS cut ??
AND How much of that DID ANY OF THEM PAY their fair share in taxes on!?
hopefully as soon as he’s unable to pardon himself
Golly, Yer Oner, I never knew you had to pay taxes on illegally gotten gains!
This is probably the last we will hear of this story.
YOu can bet, IF Kammel toe wins in nov, that NO JUDGEMENT will be heard of come december.
