As the moose outside should have told you, Hunter Biden has been charged with a bunch of tax crimes, including three counts of tax evasion. I actually thought he had been charged with all of this already but I guess he wasn't charged -- I guess the Very Special Counsel David Weiss intended to dismiss these charges before ever actually bringing them.
But after the judge smoked him out -- catching him attempting to give Hunter Biden blanket immunity for all crimes he may have committed, while getting nothing in return -- I guess the Very Special Counsel feels obligated to now pretend to be an impartial prosecutor who represents the United States without fear or favor.
I don't expect Biden to ever do a minute of time in jail.
But do enjoy this exposure of what an absolute filthy degenerate scumbag he is.
Hunter Biden lied to his struggling ex-wife and daughter & stopped support payments while he spent millions on cocaine, prostitutes, fast cars, and a luxury house in Venice. This is the same granddaughter President Biden refused to even acknowledge until recently....

He deleted that post, because he got which family Hunter Biden was abandoning mixed up: Hunter was actually dodging child support payments to his acknowledged children.

An earlier version of this tweet referred to the granddaughter Joe Biden would not acknowledge (until recently) but that was actually a different family abandoned by Hunter Biden. Sorry, sometimes hard to keep the multitude of Biden family scandals straight. Someone needs to produce a spreadsheet or a diagram...

BREAKING
Hunter Biden's 9 new charges mention he "subverted the payroll and tax withholding process of his own company, Owasco, PC by withdrawing millions... outside of the payroll and tax withholding process..."
This was the same business that made direct payments to Joe Biden.
The indictment adds, he "spent millions of dollars on an extravagant lifestyle rather than paying his tax bills."
The charges add that Hunter Biden received more than $7 million in total gross income between 2016 and October 15, 2020.
The only thing that Hunter Biden had to sell was his father's political influence to foreign actors. Damning.
Separate categories for "women" and "adult entertainment"? Yeah, I've got folders on my computer codenamed "car stuff" and "recipes." That means "Hookers" and "Strippers."
(clinks glasses) "A toast -- to our hookers and our strippers: may they never meet."
Never call a stripper a hooker. In fact, never call a stripper a stripper, or a hooker a hooker.
Call them both "dancers" or "e-girls." Or models (of penis).

"Notably, in 2020, well after he had regained his sobriety, and when he finally filed his outstanding 2016, 2017, and 2018 Forms 1040, the Defendant did not direct any payments toward his tax liabilities for each of those years."
More at the first link.
Obviously, this is going to complicate Burisma Joe's "re"election schemes.
And it makes the Very Special Counsel David Weiss look corrupt.
I won't even insult Andrew McCarthy in quoting him:
The indictment is scathing in describing the younger Biden's unsavory lifestyle, his deep dishonesty, and his willful decision to evade tax liabilities on millions of dollars in income and instead spend the money on escorts, drugs, luxury goods, and the like. Hunter is portrayed as exactly the kind of tax cheat who should be prosecuted. In fact, he appears to be just the sort of elitist scoundrel abominated in the rhetoric of his father and Democrats -- privileged, addicted to consumption, producing little of real value, and greedily unwilling to pay his "fair share."
But here's the problem: Just four months ago, the same David Weiss tried to bury the same tax case against the same Hunter Biden -- offering him a no-jail plea to two puny misdemeanors, a sweetheart deal so out of the ordinary that Weiss's minions could not answer a judge's simple questions about it, and that the ever-entitled Hunter's defense lawyers foolishly blew up over fear of a hypothetical prosecution on tougher charges that Weiss patently had no intention to bring.
It is impossible to square Weiss's slamming of Hunter in the new indictment with the blind eye he turned toward Hunter in the failed plea bargain -- a submission in which the only narrative was a statement of facts sympathetic to Hunter, the drafting of which was clearly controlled by Hunter's lawyers, not the agents who investigated the case.
Hunter Biden has been pursuing a strategy of suing and demanding criminal charges against anyone who says he's a criminal. Well, he's obviously a criminal. His father's fucking DOJ says he's a criminal, now that it's been smoked out of its efforts to give him a crooked sweetheart deal.
What's next? Is he going to sue Joe Biden next?
Even Joe Biden made a statement that shocked many, that he wouldn't even be interested in running again, if Trump weren't also running.
Presidents, even fake ones, usually don't talk like that. They usually claim they're just so excited to get back to work for the American people and that the smell of America just invigorates them like red white and blue coffee.
President Biden said Tuesday that he might have retired after a single term of office if former President Donald Trump wasn't running in next year's election.
"If Trump wasn't running, I'm not sure I'd be running," the 81-year-old president told a group of Democratic donors in Boston. "But we cannot let him win."
The remark at a fundraiser was a stunning self-assessment of the implications of Biden's age.
Biden already is the oldest-ever president and would be 86 if he completes a full second term in January 2029.
Critics routinely highlight instances in which Biden appears confused or shares false memories -- and several polls this year found that about two-thirds of voters are concerned about Biden's mental acuity.
