The reason\u2062 Tigani\u2063 did jail time while Hunter Biden is not\u2064 in jail is &#8220;they&#8217;re protecting the Bidens,&#8221; he said during\u2062 an appearance on\u2063 Fox \u200dNews.<\/p>\n<h3>Hunter&#8217;s Tax Loss and the Double \u200cStandard<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;Hunter&#8217;s tax loss is in the millions of dollars,&#8221; Tigani said. &#8220;It&#8217;s the highest that Delaware has ever had aside from a drug dealer or someone charged with other multiple crimes. This is a misdemeanor with\u200b a tax \u200bloss of over $1 million. My tax loss \u200bwas $361,000, and I was in jail two years.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In 2007, Tigani was approached by Hunter Biden and his late brother Beau Biden and was requested to give $75,000 to the brothers to cover the cost of\u2062 billboards in Iowa for their father&#8217;s presidential run. Dennis Toner, Biden&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rudy-yakym-tapped-by-gop-to-replace-late-indiana-rep-jackie-walorski\/\" title=\"Rudy Yakym tapped by GOP to replace late Indiana Rep. Jackie Walorski\">campaign finance director<\/a> at the time, allegedly encouraged\u200c Tigani to bundle the money by using donations\u200c from his employees, which he would later reimburse from his company.<\/p>\n<p>When \u200dhe was later contacted by the \u2063FBI, Toner allegedly could\u200c not\u2063 recall having a conversation about bundling campaign contributions after \u200bTigani contacted him. After Tigani \u200bpleaded guilty, he was\u2064 sentenced to two\u2063 years in prison in 2012.<\/p>\n<p>Tigani&#8217;s case was \u200dprosecuted by then-First Assistant U.S. Attorney David Weiss, who is leading \u2064the federal investigation into \u200dHunter Biden. The Delaware businessman was \u200bcompelled to speak out publicly after he \u200dwas informed of Hunter Biden&#8217;s plea deal.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They were protecting the Bidens then. They&#8217;re protecting the Bidens now.
