WATCH: Disgraced Hunter Arrives In Court To Enter Guilty Plea
Hunter Biden, the father of many scandals and the son of the president, was spotted on camera arriving at a Delaware Federal courthouse to enter his guilty plea. This is a precondition to receiving his plea deal on tax evasion and firearm charges. As shown in the video, Mr. Biden arrived at the court with a motorcade.
The nature of the sweetheart plea deal offer to Hunter Biden where the president’s son serves no jail time and has his crimes reduced to misdemeanors has stirred controversy among many Americans. Robert Barnes, a long-time tax lawyer, commented, “As a criminal tax lawyer for a near quarter-century, I confirm how rare & extraordinary the [Hunter Biden] plea deal is. Indeed, the deal violates DOJ Tax official policy, where Biden’s DOJ prohibit prosecutors from even offering this deal to people who did far less than Hunter.”

He further stated that “Nothing about the [Hunter Biden] plea deal complies with DOJ custom or official policy, and, in fact, violates it at every stage, as the whistleblowers detail in the report disclosed today.”

Mr. Barnes retorted when challenged on this that “Pretend lawyers on Twitter really shouldn’t challenge someone whose done federal criminal tax law cases for almost a quarter-century. The Biden policy the Hunter deal violates is the “Major Count” policy, and it’s right in the Tax Division manual.” He left a link to the criminal tax manual.

Testimony by whistleblowers within the IRS who were on the team probing Hunter Biden state that their investigation was hamstrung by politics from the top and that previously approved charges were mysteriously not present in the charging of the president’s son. These whistleblowers also observed that the man tasked with investigating Hunter Biden, U.S. Attorney David Weiss, only had limited powers and jurisdiction despite failed attempts to obtain greater authority.
There is also the matter of uncomfortably close ties that the Biden family had with one of the prosecutors in Weiss’s office. Another questionable act that occurred during the course of the investigation was that the Biden transition team was tipped off ahead of a planned interview with Hunter Biden with FBI and IRS agents. The team managed to shut down this interview before it began. Hunter would never be interviewed. The president’s son was also tipped off ahead of a search of his storage unit.
