Hunter Biden will likely land ‘generous’ plea deal that will allow him to admit minor tax and gun charges, ending investigation into far more serious money-laundering and lobbying allegations, lawyer believes
- A former DOJ official believes Hunter Biden has landed a ‘generous’ plea deal to only admit to minor tax and gun charges over the federal probe into his life
- Lawyer Jim Trusty said reports so far show no indication that prosecutors will seek charges on money-laundering and lobbying allegations
- Trusty and other legal experts add that the decision not to seek serious charges does not appear to be motivated by the upcoming midterm elections
- One expert, however, noted that it was surprising for the case to be closed despite President Joe Biden never testifying before a grand jury
- The development comes as Biden faces mounting questions over whether he knew about his son’s business dealings
As Federal prosecutors wrap up their investigation into Hunter Biden, a former Department of Justice official believes the president’s son has landed a ‘generous’ plea deal to only admit minor charges.
Lawyer Jim Trusty, former chief of the DOJ’s Organized Crime Section, said reports that the investigation is coming to an end suggests that Hunter will be hit with minor tax charges and for making false statements when purchasing a handgun in 2018.
He believed it was unlikely that Biden would face any charges involving the investigation into alleged money laundering and violation of lobbying laws that claimed Biden used his father for controversial business dealings overseas.
We’re not hearing the word ‘conspiracy’ and we are hearing and seeing an awful lot of drug addiction vignettes, so I think the ‘critical phase’ could be more about reaching a plea agreement designed to end the entire inquiry rather than seeing a fully investigated ‘pay-to-play’ scheme,’ Trusty told the New York Post.

Trusty said that a sweeping ‘indictment’ against Hunter would be unlikely and noted that the investigation must have been thorough given that it’s gone on for four years.
‘It does not take four years to put together a dinky gun case or many of the cases deemed ‘tax cases,” he added.
Along with Trusty, George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley and Detroit US Attorney Barbara McQuade disagreed with previous reports that suggested charges weren’t being brought up due to the upcoming midterm elections.
CNN previously reported some officials were concerned about DOJ guidelines which suggest avoiding updates in major, politically sensitive cases so close to the election.
McQuade dismissed the notion, telling the Post: ‘I do not think DOJ would hesitate to file charges against Hunter Biden if the evidence were sufficient just because of the upcoming midterm elections.
‘There would be no reason to refrain from filing charges other than an absence of evidence.’
Although he agreed with McQuade, Turley said he was concerned that the investigation would be closed despite President Joe Biden never being called to testify before a grand jury.
“It is not clear how the prosecutors would eliminate conspiracy charges or a wider array of wrongdoing without speaking to such key players,” he told the Post.
The federal investigation had reached a ‘critical juncture’ and investigators are currently weighing whether to charge the president’s son, according to a report on Wednesday night.
The Department of Justice probe in Delaware has intensified in recent weeks over whether to bring charges on tax violations or making false statements on purchasing a gun, sources told CNN.
Hunter would have been prohibited from buying a gun at the time because of his well-documented struggles with drug addiction.
The GOP are seeking answers on whether the president knew about his son’s foreign business dealings, even though he has constantly denied any knowledge.
David Weiss, the US Attorney in Delaware, is leading the probe, which dates back to as early as 2018. President Biden kept in on after Trump left office to continue the investigation.
Hunter has not been charged with any crimes and has denied criminal wrongdoing.
The report also stated the president is not being investigated as part of the probe into his business activities.
The FBI and IRS’ criminal division are among the agencies who have been involved in moving the investigations, and there have also been discussions over whether his past drug abuse could weaken their case, CNN reported.

Ariana Grande Stripping Naked Modeling Video
Now that Ariana Grande is a completely washed-up has-been in the pop music industry she appears to try her hand (or should I say tight ass) at a new career by stripping naked while modeling in the video below.
Nude modeling is certainly more in line with Ariana Grande’s “talents”… For not only does she get to fully utilize her blasphemously brazen exhibitionism, but her only redeeming feature of her taut round rump really gets to take center stage…
Add to that the fact that we no longer have to hear the cacophonous squawking that Ariana calls “singing”, and this career change is certainly a win all around… So let us pray that it sticks until she can be properly dealt with by the Globalist stones of justice.
