The Hunter Biden Thread

[85SugarVol]

The biggest issue for Weiss is going to be Biden's addiction defense....

Every American in the country could claim an addiction if they needed/wanted to. How is that a defense?

He will say he was so shitfaced that he couldn't willfully evade taxes.

The problem is this defense is harder to make for sophisticated taxpayers with financial means to hire experts.

Everyone on the left: why should we care? We aren’t voting for Hunter? He’s a private citizen!

Does that defense actually work in these types of cases?

Just sounds wild to me.

“I was so shitfaced… I didn’t willfully evade those taxes. It was an accident!”

It looks to me more like I was so shitfaced I willfully told my accountant to not file my taxes for two consecutive years. I mean I get that addiction can be an affirmative defense but let’s not act like he did one single bit of the accounting work on his taxes.

Too many 53 year olds struggled with addiction and are now serving time.

Only a democrat could use that as a defense

"I was shitfaced.. I didn't willfully drive drunk"
"I was shitfaced.. I didn't willfully beat my wife"

I don't recall hearing those excuses ever working.

Strangely enough the only people ever charged with that in the last 80 years or so have all been Trump associates. I’m sure it’s just coincidence and not that this is a crime that never gets charged

US v Pomponio defines willfullness as the "voluntary, intentional violation of a known legal duty"

IRS and DOJ manuals look at the following to see if there is willfulness not to file

* Filed returns in past
* Use of accountant/tax lawyer
* Reminder letters from IRS of filing requirements
* Disregarding IRS warning letter
* Failure to voluntarily comply with records request
* Large income
*Education
* Background
* Business experience

I’m not doubting your explanations you clearly know what you’re talking about or you’re one helluva poker player. I was just offering my own hot take. I can’t believe that crack head has even opened up TurboTax in the last 20 years and I’d guess they don’t have a money laundering / influence peddling add on to give him the tools he needs to file without an accountant anyway

I agree. It's going to be hard for him to make that argument since he literally checked the box for everything I listed.

A high school educated farmer who runs into addiction and tax issues would be viewed differently than a Yale educated, rich, global corporate board member (within addiction issue) who has access to CPAs and lawyers....

Can a new plea deal be constructed after the defendant has already pled?

Did he just plead to the tax charges or all the charges?

Yes, a new plea can (and likely will) be constructed. I wouldn't be shocked if some sort of nominal confinement will be required to get a plea done now if they combine the gun/tax charges

 

[volinbham]

Yes, a new plea can (and likely will) be constructed.

so he would change his plea to guilty and accept the deal I guess

Jill Biden's ex-husband - who claims She Cheated On Him With Joe - slams 'Biden crime family' for targeting HIM and Trump despite Hunter's 'tax crimes' and brands President 'dangerous'

Jill Biden's ex-husband has slammed what he described as the 'Biden crime family' for 'targeting' him and Donald Trump, as the president's son Hunter faces mounting legal troubles.

Bill Stevenson, who was married to the First Lady from 1970 to 1975, previously told DailyMail.com that he was still married to Jill when she met Joe, and has always denied the Bidens' well-publicized story of having met on a blind date.

Speaking to Newsmax on Wednesday, the 75-year-old said the president's brother Frankie Biden tried to intimidate him during his divorce to Jill, and claimed he faced repercussions when he did not listen to the alleged threats.

'Frankie Biden of the Biden crime family comes up to me and he goes, "Give her the house or you’re going to have serious problems,"' Stevenson claimed.

'I looked at Frankie and I said, "Are you threatening me?" and needless to say, about two months later, my brother and I were indicted for that tax charge for $8,200.'

He went on to compare his alleged situation to former president Trump's legal woes; Trump is currently facing charges of conspiracy to obstruct justice, withholding a document or record, corruptly concealing a document or record, and concealing a document in a federal investigation.

The more I think I really hope Joe pardons hunter. Again I don’t think it will come to that because I believe the DOJ and the rest of the swamp will protect the crack head but I think I it would be a yuuuuge political win for the Rs
