The investigation \u200dinto his \u2064business dealings has raised questions about how much the President knew. In this series, Wayward Son, the Washington \u200cExaminer delves into the journey that led us here. \u2064Part One explored Hunter \u2064Biden&#8217;s failure to register as a foreign agent, while Part \u2062Two revealed his extensive foreign affairs beyond\u200d Ukraine. Now, in Part Three,\u2062 we examine concerns surrounding the \u200cDepartment of Justice&#8217;s handling of the prosecution.<\/p>\n<h3>Unanswered \u200cQuestions and Attorney \u2064General Garland&#8217;s Appearance<\/h3>\n<p>Attorney General Merrick Garland is set to appear before the House Judiciary Committee this week, finally shedding light on the Hunter Biden case. Members of the committee \u2063are expected to grill Garland \u2062on various \u200cissues, including \u2064the controversial prosecution\u2063 of former President Donald Trump and\u2063 the perceived disparity in the treatment of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/seven-unanswered-questions-for-merrick-garland-about-the-biden-investigations\/\" title=\"Merrick Garland's Biden investigations: Seven lingering questions.\">anti-abortion activists compared<\/a> to Black Lives Matter activists.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here\u200b are seven key questions for Garland:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Why did David Weiss need to become \u200ba special counsel \u2063if he always had full authority in the\u200b Hunter \u2063Biden case?<\/strong><\/li>\n<p>The authority of \u200bDelaware U.S. \u200bAttorney\u200b David Weiss during the initial years of \u2064the investigation is a pressing concern. Despite Garland&#8217;s claims that Weiss had complete \u200dautonomy, \u200devidence suggests\u2064 otherwise. Weiss\u2062 had to \u200bseek \u2063permission from other \u200cjurisdictions to bring charges against Hunter Biden, and his requests were \u200bdenied by U.S. attorneys\u200b appointed by \u2064Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<li><strong>Why didn&#8217;t prosecutors present \u2064their case in California until President Joe Biden&#8217;s\u200b chosen US attorney was \u200bconfirmed?<\/strong><\/li>\n<p>The\u200d decision to file\u2062 tax charges against Hunter Biden in California was made early in the case. However, the delay in seeking \u2064permission from the Central District of California&#8217;s U.S. attorney allowed President Biden&#8217;s nominee to have authority over the decision. This timing \u200draises questions about\u2062 potential political influence.<\/p>\n<li><strong>Is Hunter Biden the only person of interest in\u2063 the\u200c &#8216;Sportsman&#8217; \u2062investigation?<\/strong><\/li>\n<p>While\u2063 Hunter Biden\u200c is the\u2063 primary target of the investigation, there is a possibility that other individuals involved \u200bin \u2064his foreign business dealings are \u2064also under scrutiny. Immunity has been granted to at least one of Hunter Biden&#8217;s former business partners, and a Democratic lobbying firm faced its own investigation.<\/p>\n<li><strong>What did the Justice\u2062 Department do to \u200clook into the Biden bribery allegation?<\/strong><\/li>\n<p>An FBI document revealed an\u200b allegation of bribery involving Joe \u200dand Hunter Biden. The Justice Department\u200d has been evasive \u2064in answering questions about their investigation into this allegation, despite its\u2064 potential significance. Lawmakers may press Garland on the steps taken to substantiate or dismiss the claim.<\/p>\n<li><strong>Why did the Justice Department ask \u2062the IRS and FBI to hand over \u200ball emails and documents related \u2064to the Hunter Biden case last year?<\/strong><\/li>\n<p>The Justice Department&#8217;s\u2062 unusual \u200drequest for high-level emails and documents related to the Hunter Biden case raises concerns about potential unethical conduct. The timing of this request, along\u200b with \u200dthe\u200b subsequent removal of the entire IRS \u2063team from the\u200c investigation, \u200bwarrants further explanation.<\/p>\n<li><strong>Why was\u2064 Hunter Biden&#8217;s defense team given the opportunity to\u2064 help draft the initial plea deal?<\/strong><\/li>\n<p>Hunter Biden&#8217;s defense team played a significant role in drafting the language of his \u2064initial plea deal, \u200baccording \u200bto reports. This level of\u2063 involvement raises \u2063questions about\u200c standard procedure and the\u200b fairness of the deal. Garland may face inquiries \u200babout the extent of defense team input in \u2064<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/supreme-court-will-hear-boston-marathon-bomber-execution-case\/\" title=\"Supreme Court Will Hear Boston Marathon Bomber Execution Case\">high-profile cases<\/a>.<\/p>\n<li><strong>What\u200d explains the different approaches taken in the Trump and Biden classified document cases?<\/strong><\/li>\n<p>The \u200ddivergent treatment \u200bof Trump\u200d and \u2064Biden in handling\u2062 classified documents after leaving office is a point of contention. Trump \u200dfaced\u200b a surprise raid, while Biden&#8217;s lawyers were given multiple opportunities for consensual searches.\u200d The disparity in investigative steps and verification processes raises concerns about potential bias.<\/p>\n<\/ol>\n<p>As\u2064 Attorney General Garland \u2064faces\u200b the\u2062 House Judiciary Committee, these\u2063 questions will shed light\u200b on the Hunter Biden investigation and the Department of Justice&#8217;s \u2062handling \u2062of the case.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> \u2064 How will the Department of Justice ensure a fair and unbiased treatment of Hunter Biden&#8217;s case,\u2062 considering his family connections\u2064 and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/devin-nunes-on-life-after-congress-elon-musk-and-big-tech-censorship\/\" title=\"Devin Nunes On Life After Congress, Elon Musk, And Big Tech Censorship\">high-profile nature<\/a> of the investigation<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Into Hunter Biden&#8217;s financial transactions and potential money \u2062laundering?<\/strong><\/li>\n<p>It is well known that Hunter \u200cBiden\u200b had substantial financial ties\u200d to foreign entities and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/maryland-dem-skirts-self-imposed-corporate-money-ban-with-corporate-lobbyist-fundraiser\/\" title=\"Maryland Dem Skirts Self-Imposed Corporate Money Ban with Corporate Lobbyist Fundraiser\">received large sums<\/a> of money for his business ventures. The question remains as to what extent the Justice Department investigated these transactions and whether any potential money laundering activities were discovered.<\/p>\n<li><strong>Why\u200d were Hunter Biden&#8217;s\u200b\u200b tax filings not thoroughly investigated\u200b sooner?<\/strong><\/li>\n<p>Hunter Biden&#8217;s\u2062 tax filings have come \u200bunder scrutiny, with allegations of underreporting income and questionable deductions. Despite these red flags,\u200c it took several years for the Justice Department to initiate\u2064 an investigation into his tax affairs. The delay in addressing these concerns raises \u2062questions about the seriousness with which Hunter Biden&#8217;s case was initially treated.<\/p>\n<li><strong>Has Hunter Biden been treated\u2062 preferentially \u2062due to his family \u200cconnections?<\/strong><\/li>\n<p>The \u2062perception of preferential treatment is a key concern surrounding Hunter Biden&#8217;s case. Given his \u200dclose family ties \u200cto \u200cthe President, many are questioning whether he has received special treatment or leniency. The \u2063Department of Justice \u200dmust address these concerns to maintain public trust and confidence in \u2063the \u200dfairness of its actions.<\/p>\n<li><strong>Will the \u2064Department of \u200bJustice pursue charges against \u2064Hunter\u200b Biden\u200d vigorously?<\/strong><\/li>\n<p>Given the high-profile nature of the case and the \u200dpotential implications for the Biden administration, it is crucial \u200bthat the Department\u2063 of\u200b Justice \u2063handles\u200b the \u2064prosecution of Hunter \u2064Biden\u200d vigorously \u200cand without bias. The American people deserve\u2064 to see justice served, regardless of political affiliations or family connections.<\/p>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>The Importance of Transparency \u200cand\u200c Accountability<\/h3>\n<p>Transparency and accountability\u200c are the pillars of a\u200b functioning justice system. It is imperative that\u200b the Department of Justice\u2062 provides\u2064 clear and thorough answers \u2062to these key questions. The American people deserve to know if \u2064there has been any\u2062 inappropriate interference or bias in the handling of Hunter Biden&#8217;s case.<\/p>\n<p>As Attorney General Garland prepares \u2063to testify before the \u200bHouse Judiciary Committee, \u200che must demonstrate a commitment to\u200c upholding the principles of transparency\u200b and accountability. By addressing these unanswered questions,\u2063 the Department\u2063 of Justice can\u2064 restore\u200b faith in its ability\u200d to execute its duties fairly \u2062and impartially.<\/p>\n<p>The \u200blegal troubles faced by Hunter Biden and the Department of Justice&#8217;s handling \u2064of\u200c the case have \u2064far-reaching \u2062implications. They not only impact the credibility of President Biden&#8217;s administration but also highlight the need for greater scrutiny of \u200dpolitical \u200cfigures \u2064and their family members. The American \u200dpeople must have confidence that no one is above the law and that justice will be served, regardless of one&#8217;s last name.<\/p>\n<p>In the next part of this series, Wayward Son will explore the potential consequences for President Biden \u200dand the broader political landscape.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hunter Biden faces legal trouble on multiple fronts.
