On Wednesday, The New York Times reported that the Justice Department has concluded that Hunter Biden has properly paid his tax bill — a major blow to right-wing conspiracy theorists who were hoping the president's son would be charged with a crime.

Nonetheless, the investigation continues to proceed along other lines.

"Mr. Biden’s failure to pay all his taxes has been a focus of the ongoing Justice Department investigation," reported Katie Benner, Kenneth P. Vogel and Michael S. Schmidt. "While wiping out his liability does not preclude criminal charges against him, the payment could make it harder for prosecutors to win a conviction or a long sentence for tax-related offenses, according to tax law experts, since juries and judges tend to be more sympathetic to defendants who have paid their bills."


"Mr. Biden’s taxes are just one element of the broader investigation stemming from work he did around the world," the report noted. .....................

Hunter Biden has long been a focal point for Republicans who are attempting, without evidence, to find the Biden administration gave political favors to his son, the way former President Donald Trump did for his children. .......................................

2. Heavens no, this will just be more fuel for the conspiracy dumpster fire.

4. Yep.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

12. Goes like "Proof of Deep State!!1! It's yuge! Trump 2024! Drain the swamp!".nt

[peppertree]

3. Which, of course, is more than can probably be said for anyone with the last name Trump

Including Trump's sister, as we now know.

[unblock]

5. How dastardly evil those democrats are!

Covering up their tax evasion by *paying their tax bill*!!

Evil genius!!


It's almost like jaywalking *in the crosswalk*!

That's how democrats get away with running red lights, by deviously doing it when the light is green!

[peppertree]

8. They're having their pizza, and eating it too!

[unblock]

9. Eating all the evidence!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

6. I hear right wing heads popping

[Bernardo de La Paz]

14. They hear DoJ investigating Hunter for FARA violations, but not being cleared of taxes

This is what they hear (from Washington Examiner RW rag):

Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss is known to be leading a federal investigation into President Joe Biden's adult son, who denies any wrongdoing, and the New York Times reported Wednesday that the investigation, which began as “a tax inquiry” during the Obama administration, then “widened” in 2018 to encompass “possible criminal violations of tax laws, as well as foreign lobbying and money laundering rules, according to the people familiar with the inquiry.”

And here's how they respond:

This is how they will force Brandon out. They know the papertrail will to him. Evidently his handlers have decided the time of him being a useful idiot is drwaing to a close.

7. I just wish they'd leave the families of Democrats alone,

and many other people they use, many nonpolitical. Human lives they so callously and thoughtlessly ruin in their quest for power. Fucking scum.

[LittleGirl]

10. Welp, this means that I am living in a bubble

I had no idea that Hunter didn't pay his taxes. I'm so glad that the republicans are keeping up with such news.
oh wait, he paid his taxes, well, I'll be damned. /s

[Behind the Aegis]

11. LOL!

Riiiiiiiiight! Who is the head of the department? A Jew!

Yeah, they have been a dealt a serious blow to their delusional thinking.

[Achilleaze]

13. Another Republican lie swirls on down the crapper

They should try the truth once in a while.

[msfiddlestix]

15. "taxes are just one element of the broader investigation stemming from work he did around the world"

Oh Really?....

Not going to bother doing the data entry on Trump Kushner et al.. whose nefarious activities around the world (not work) were. and still are, fraudulent, traitorous and obviously criminal. But crickets from DOJ / FBI etc etc etc.

[onetexan]

18. Just pure BS, isn't it?

[PatSeg]

16. They are so absurd and terribly unoriginal

They kept recycling Benghazi and Hillary's emails for years. Now it is going to be Hunter's taxes? Well, I suppose it is a good thing that republican politicians and their families are all above reproach.

[IronLionZion]

17. Yeah sure, it's Biden's justice department

so of course they find no crimes with someone named Biden. They're mostly arresting people named Trump... oh wait.

[Marthe48]

19. headline should be 'really stupid

peoples' idiot unfounded whack jobs again proven to be ridiculous lies'.
