Judge Refuses To Cut Biden’s Son Any Slack
On Wednesday, Hunter Biden’s legal team faced significant setbacks in a federal court in California, as they grappled with a series of denials regarding their pretrial requests for his upcoming tax trial. The trial, scheduled to start on September 9, involves nine charges against Biden, including failing to pay taxes and filing fraudulent returns.
Hunter Biden’s primary defense attorney, Mark Geragos, made a pointed accusation against the prosecution team led by Special Counsel David Weiss. Geragos argued that the prosecutors were engaged in a campaign to “slime” Biden, labeling it as a form of “character assassination.” This assertion was part of a broader strategy by Biden’s defense to challenge the fairness of the proceedings.
The court session was dedicated to reviewing pretrial motions, which focused on determining what evidence would be permissible during the trial. Judge Mark Scarsi, who presided over the hearing, reportedly leaned heavily in favor of the prosecution’s position. For instance, Scarsi ruled against allowing Biden to mention his later repayment of taxes or to present expert testimony about his struggles with addiction during the relevant tax years from 2015 to 2019. The defense had hoped to use this testimony to argue that Biden’s mental state was compromised during this period, despite his involvement in multimillion-dollar international business transactions.
Government prosecutor Leo Wise countered these arguments, stating, “No matter how many drugs you can take, you don’t suddenly forget that when you make $11 million, you have to pay taxes.” This remark highlighted the prosecution’s stance that Biden’s financial obligations were clear regardless of his personal issues.
Additionally, the defense sought to exclude any references to Biden’s “extravagant lifestyle,” including spending on strip clubs and pornography, which prosecutors claim is relevant to understanding his failure to meet tax obligations. Evidence presented suggests that Biden failed to pay approximately $1.4 million in taxes, and prosecutors argue that details about his lavish expenditures are crucial to the case.
Another point of contention was the exclusion of allegations related to “improper political influence.” The defense team wanted to keep out evidence linking Biden’s foreign business dealings to potential violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). Though Weiss indicated that Biden would not be charged under FARA, the prosecution intends to use Biden’s avoidance of FARA registration and his interactions with the State Department to illustrate his mindset during the tax years in question.
Legal experts suggest that a plea deal might be Biden’s best option, considering the overwhelming evidence against him. Such an agreement would allow him to avoid the extended spotlight of a trial, potentially requiring him to plead guilty to felonies and face incarceration, following his rejection of a more lenient plea offer last summer.
I believe that Biden/Harris have wrecked our Constitutional form of Governance so badly they are going bat-cr– that when the Republicans take over, they will all be exposed for the criminals they are. The Biden Clan of Grifters has already been exposed for their greed and all of the classified information they sold to China and others who hate the USA. Will any of them get more than a slap on the wrist? I doubt it. They are the elites as we see in Communist Countries they are above the Law, they can commit treasonous acts against the USA and get away with it. Perhaps they need to be made and example of what not to do when you hold a high PUBLIC OFFICE.
