He indicted him to protect him. I got it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Well, yes.\u2063 Indicting\u2063 a person \u200con\u200b lesser charges can \u200doften protect \u2063him from \u2063more serious ones.\u2062 It happens all \u200cthe time. In this case, \u2062though, \u2063\u201chim\u201d isn\u2019t Hunter, it\u2019s\u200d Joe.<\/p>\n<h3>The\u2062 Real\u2062 Target: Joe Biden<\/h3>\n<p>Weiss failed to indict Hunter for failing to \u2064register as\u2062 a foreign agent \u200bor failing to \u2063pay taxes on the millions that\u2064 flowed from \u200bthose arrangements. Why? Probably because\u200c any investigation into Hunter\u2019s $17 \u2063million foreign influence-peddling business \u2014 which Weiss has scrupulously avoided \u2014 \u2062leads to the \u200cpresident of the United States answering lots of awkward queries \u2064about his connection to disreputable \u2064people \u200cand \u200bauthoritarian regimes. There is no Hunter Biden \u200dcase \u200bwithout Joe. There is no Biden Inc. without Joe.<\/p>\n<p>Hunter\u2019s\u2064 laptop \u2014 the \u2063one that\u2062 the New York Post got its hands on, \u200cand that Tapper and others attempted to cover up \u2014 was crammed with texts and emails \u2064in \u200cwhich\u2063 the son references his dad\u2019s\u200d role \u2063in \u2063securing payments and\u2062 taking cuts from the business.\u2064 None of that is to mention the numerous witnesses\u200d that\u2064 have come forward to contend \u2062that \u200dthe \u201cBig Guy\u201d played a part in that outfit. Or \u2064the\u2062 checks that ended\u200d up being written to Joe. Any genuine investigation into the 20-plus\u200b shell companies set up by\u200b James Biden, Joe\u2019s brother, and Hunter would\u200c compel lots of people to \u2063answer \u2064questions on the\u2062 record \u2063or under \u200doath.<\/p>\n<p>Weiss conveniently allowed some of \u2063these infractions to \u200dpass the statute of limitations, but some have not. Hunter pulled in a\u2062 million a year from Burisma from the\u200c years \u20642014-2017, while Joe was forging American policy in that nation.\u2062 It\u2019s only a weird\u2064 happenstance, not\u200d a massive conflict\u200c of interest, that \u2064the\u2063 sitting vice president\u2019s decisions may have \u2064aided the oil\u2063 concern while his son was being \u200cpaid. Hunter\u2019s salary\u2062 fell to roughly $500,000 annually from 2017 to 2019, after \u2063Joe \u2062was\u200c out of the White House. \u200cAnother \u2064weird coincidence.<\/p>\n<p>But the\u200d president\u2019s son\u2063 also had a 10 percent stake in a Chi-com investment fund named BHR Partners from 2013 to\u2063 2021. Joe flew him to China to \u200bset it up, \u200bmet one of the partners, and then \u2064wrote a letter of\u2063 recommendation \u200dfor the man\u2019s kid. All \u200dcompletely innocent, no doubt.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s\u200c not forget, either, that without\u200d the \u200bIRS whistleblowers coming forward, Hunter\u200b would probably have escaped any charges. And \u200blet\u2019s also not forget that without U.S. District Court\u2063 Judge Maryellen Noreika \u2062putting the \u200ckibosh \u200con\u2063 it, Weiss\u2062 would\u200c have allowed\u200c Hunter\u2019s lawyers to write an extraordinary \u200dplea \u200bagreement that\u200c not only would have ensured the\u200c president\u2019s name wouldn\u2019t be dragged into the investigation, but \u2062it would have let Hunter plead \u200cout to two \u2062of the least \u2064consequential charges \u2014 with virtually no punishment\u200b \u2014 in exchange for\u2062 blanket immunity \u2063for a slew of serious potential\u2064 offenses, including tax, \u200bgun, and drug crimes.<\/p>\n<p>At every turn, Weiss is\u2062 protecting Joe.<\/p>\n<p>Then \u2064again,\u2062 this is about Hunter insomuch as all \u200bof\u2064 this\u200c can be politically disastrous for the president. On the Sunday \u2062talk shows the president\u2019s \u2062defenders portrayed Hunter Biden as \u2062a lost man \u200cstruggling \u200dto <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/daily-wire-entertainment-circumvents-chinas-stranglehold-on-hollywood\/\" title=\"Daily Wire Entertainment Circumvents China\u2019s Stranglehold On Hollywood\">overcome drug addiction<\/a> and Joe\u2062 Biden as the loving father, who had recently lost his other\u2063 son, there to \u200chelp.\u2063 Others contended \u2063that the Hunter was the real victim \u200cof an overzealous prosecution.<\/p>\n<p>Hunter is \u200da middle-aged Yale-educated lawyer,\u200b international\u2064 lobbyist, foreign energy\u2062 consultant, millionaire, \u200dand \u2063celebrated artist, whose work can go for upwards of half a million dollars.\u2064 The \u2064jails are strewn with\u2064 Americans who have\u2062 far\u200d more tragic stories to\u200c tell. Do they\u200b get to write off sex club memberships,\u200d prostitutes, and hotel rooms for his drug dealers? Would\u200d you?<\/p>\n<p>Moreover,\u200d Hunter continued cheating\u2064 on his taxes after he had\u2062 supposedly gone\u200b clean and\u200d remarried. He set up his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-republicans-unveil-timeline-of-biden-familys-alleged-influence-peddling-schemes\/\" title=\"House Republicans reveal timeline of alleged Biden family influence-peddling.\">influence-peddling \u200cschemes<\/a> before his brother Beau died \u2014 not in combat, as the president often claims, but from a brain \u2063tumor.<\/p>\n<p>When ordinary Americans are\u200d being audited by the \u2064new supercharged IRS, or \u2064spending hours struggling to figure \u2062out \u200cthe square-footage \u2063formula used\u2064 to\u200d write off their home office \u200cin their 1040s, I hope they remember \u2062that \u200cDemocrats believe \u200bJoe and \u200dHunter are the real victims here.<\/p>\n<p>At any \u200brate, \u200cWeiss \u2062knows, despite\u200c the media\u2019s insistence, \u200dthat \u2064Joe doesn\u2019t need \u2063to directly benefit from his family\u2019s\u200c foreign ventures to corrupt himself\u200b \u2014 though there is\u200d plenty of circumstantial evidence that he did. If one of the most powerful\u200d men in\u200b the United States \u200bgovernment participates \u2062in a \u2064scheme \u2014 or \u200dallows people to believe he is offering\u200b access \u2014 that makes millions for his entire family, \u200cit may \u2064or may not be\u200b illegal, but it is corrupt.<\/p>\n<p>And\u2062 any investigation that leads to\u2064 those questions is a\u200c disaster for \u200bthe president.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> Why did Special Counsel David Weiss deliberately fail\u2062 to indict Hunter Biden for more serious offenses related \u200bto foreign business arrangements<\/h2>\n<p><span> <\/p>\n<h2>Protecting Hunter Biden: The Indictment Strategy<\/h2>\n<p>The recent indictment of Hunter Biden on nine tax-related charges by Special Counsel David \u200dWeiss has\u200b sparked speculation\u2062 about the underlying motives behind the charges. James Comer,\u2063 during an interview on CNN, raised the question of whether the indictment was a strategic move\u2063 to \u200dprotect Hunter Biden from being deposed in the House Oversight Committee. Jake Tapper, in a snarky response, sarcastically acknowledged the idea of \u2064indicting someone to protect them. However, there is more to this indictment strategy than\u200d meets the eye.<\/p>\n<h3>The Real Target: Joe Biden<\/h3>\n<p>Contrary to popular belief, the main target \u2062of this indictment is \u2062not Hunter Biden, \u2062but rather Joe Biden. It is evident that Weiss deliberately failed \u200bto \u200cindict Hunter for more serious offenses \u200dsuch as\u2063 failing to register as a foreign agent or failing to pay taxes on millions of dollars received through\u2062 foreign \u200dbusiness arrangements. This deliberate omission suggests that any investigation into Hunter&#8217;s foreign influence-peddling business, which Weiss has actively avoided, would \u200dundoubtedly \u2064shine \u2062a \u200clight on \u200cJoe\u200b Biden&#8217;s connection to disreputable individuals and authoritarian regimes. It is clear that Joe Biden&#8217;s involvement is crucial to understanding the full extent of Hunter Biden&#8217;s actions.<\/p>\n<p>One\u2062 only needs to examine the contents of\u2064 Hunter&#8217;s \u200dlaptop, which was \u200bobtained by the New York \u200dPost and subsequently covered up by Tapper and others, to\u2063 see the link between Hunter&#8217;s activities and his father&#8217;s role.\u200c The laptop contained numerous texts and emails revealing Joe Biden&#8217;s participation in securing payments and receiving \u2062cuts from the business. Additionally, several witnesses have come forward to attest to Joe&#8217;s involvement, and checks were even written to him. Any genuine investigation into the numerous shell companies established by James Biden, Joe&#8217;s brother, and Hunter would undoubtedly \u200brequire these individuals to provide testimony \u200bunder\u2062 oath or \u200bon the record.<\/p>\n<p>Weiss conveniently allowed some \u200cof these \u2063infractions to surpass the\u2062 statute of limitations, but there are still pending cases that can\u200c be pursued. It is worth noting that Hunter received a million dollars annually from Burisma between 2014 and 2017, precisely when Joe was shaping American policy in \u200bUkraine. The fact that Hunter&#8217;s salary decreased to approximately $500,000 annually after Joe left the \u2064White House is peculiar, to say the least. Additionally, Hunter\u2062 held a 10\u200b percent stake in a Chinese investment fund called BHR Partners from 2013 to 2021, facilitated by Joe&#8217;s involvement. Joe&#8217;s meetings with one of the partners and his subsequent recommendation letter raise legitimate concerns\u200d about potential conflicts of \u200binterest.<\/p>\n<p>Without the brave whistleblowers at the IRS coming forward,\u2063 it is highly likely that Hunter\u200c would\u200b have\u2064 evaded any charges. Furthermore, if\u2064 not for\u2064 U.S. District Court Judge\u200b Maryellen Noreika intervening, Weiss would have allowed Hunter&#8217;s lawyers to negotiate an extraordinary plea agreement\u2062 that granted him blanket immunity for a range of serious potential offenses, including tax, gun, and\u200d drug crimes. This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mohammad-anwars-alleged-teenage-murderers-may-get-plea-deal-which-could-involve-home-detention-or-probation\/\" title=\"Mohammad Anwar\u2019s Alleged Teenage Murderers May Get Plea Deal, Which \u2018Could Involve Home Detention Or Probation\u2019\">proposed plea agreement<\/a> not only ensured that the president&#8217;s name would be kept out of the \u2064investigation but also allowed Hunter to plead guilty \u200cto only two insignificant charges with \u200dminimal consequences.<\/p>\n<p>It is abundantly clear that at every turn, Weiss is protecting Joe Biden. The selective nature of the \u2064charges \u200bagainst Hunter and the avoidance of investigating\u2064 his more significant \u2063offenses \u200bsuggest a concerted effort to shield the president. It is imperative that the truth be \u200dunveiled and a thorough investigation into the Biden family&#8217;s activities be conducted to maintain the integrity\u2062 of our institutions \u2064and hold those responsible accountable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When asked if Special Counsel David Weiss indicted Hunter Biden on tax-related charges to shield him from testifying in the House Oversight Committee, James Comer suggested it.
