BREAKING: Hunter Biden will plead guilty to three federal charges

Published

on

President Joe Biden’s son Hunter will do what many of the elite and powerful do and evade jail time despite federal crimes. According to court papers filed Tuesday, Hunter will plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax crimes as well as illegal possession of a handgun.

Specifically, the two tax charges are of failure to pay in 2017 and 2018. “The combined tax liability is roughly $1.2 million over those years, according to people familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity to describe details of the agreement that are not yet public. Prosecutors plan to recommend a sentence of probation for those counts, these people said” reports the Washington Post.

Additionally, Hunter has a charge for illegally possessing a weapon from a gun purchase in 2018. During that time, Hunter was heavily abusing hardcore drugs such as cocaine, which he details in his own telling in his autobiography.

However, when Hunter filled out paperwork to buy the gun, “he denied using drugs or having a drug problem, exposing him to a potential charge of making a false statement on the document, as well as illegal gun possession once he acquired the weapon. Biden owned the gun for less than two weeks, because his then-girlfriend threw it away, according to public accounts of that time period” adds the Washington Post.

The Washington Post reports on the investigation that was opened in 2018 during the Trump administration:

Federal authorities began investigating Hunter Biden’s finances in 2018. Much of that work has centered around whether he evaded paying taxes on money he collected from overseas business clients. Last year, witnesses were called before a grand jury in Wilmington to answer questions about what they knew about Biden’s spending and work. Over time, the inquiry expanded to look at whether Biden’s gun purchase amounted to a crime.

People familiar with the situation, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing case, told The Washington Post in October that federal agents had determined there was enough evidence to file tax and gun charges. Last month, The Post reported that prosecutors in the case were nearing a decision.

Democrats Worry Continued Fundraising by Kamala Harris is Hurting Them With Voters

Published

on

The 2024 election has been over for weeks now, but Kamala Harris is still fundraising.

Despite raising and spending more than a billion dollars in this election cycle, Harris ended her campaign with more than $20 million dollars in debt. Even more shocking, the DNC laid off a massive number of staffers and didn’t pay senior campaign workers at the end.

Now Harris is still fundraising in a desperate attempt to retire her campaign debt and other members of the party believe this is very damaging.

Politico reported:

Dems fear Harris’ continued fundraising ‘erodes trust’

The emails themselves don’t mention debt, instead citing the organization’s support for recount efforts in close races and legal challenges. And the Harris campaign denies that the campaign or affiliated joint fundraising committees had outstanding debts on Election Day, and says they won’t report debts owed in future Federal Election Commission reports due in December.

But the fundraising appeals have still continued, and some Democrats fear she may be compounding the party’s problems with the tone of some of her appeals — damaging relationships with online donors who have long powered the party. In just a few months, the vice president built up a record-breaking fundraising operation. She raked in funds from millions of online donors within the first week of her candidacy, and continued to hold fundraising events well into the fall. Now those same donors who helped her raise more than $1.4 billion are among the people being asked to give more. The emails still come two or three times a day.

This is going to be a serious issue for Democrats going forward. Their own donors don’t trust them anymore and who can blame them?
