A fucking plea deal. If he were Trump’s son, his ass would have been in jail.
First son Hunter Biden has agreed to plead guilty to federal tax and firearms charges in a deal with his father’s Justice Department that’s expected to carry no prison time and leave his record free of felony convictions.
The charges announced by Delaware US Attorney David Weiss’ office amount to a slap on the wrist following a five-year investigation into Hunter, 53, for failing to report millions of dollars in income from countries such as China and Ukraine.
The president’s son will plead guilty to two misdemeanor charges of failing to pay federal income taxes, according to a letter submitted to federal court by Weiss, a Trump administration holdover recommended to his post by the state’s two Democratic senators, who are close Biden allies.
According to charging documents, Hunter failed to pay at least $100,000 in income taxes in both 2017 and 2018, though the precise amounts are not stated.
The first son allegedly received more than $1.5 million in taxable income in each of those years. Hunter reportedly borrowed $2 million to pay off back taxes last year in an attempt to avoid charges.
As part of the agreement, Hunter will enroll in a pretrial diversion agreement on the felony charge of illegally possessing a firearm as a drug user after he lied on a federal gun purchase form in October 2018 about his addiction.
The first son is expected to get probation lasting about two years on the gun charge, with a requirement that he stay sober, submit to drug testing, and avoid additional criminal behavior.
He may also be made to agree to never own firearms again.
……The charging decision came about a month after the IRS dismissed a 13-person investigative team that worked on the case — allegedly in retaliation after supervisory agent Gary Shapley in April contacted Congress to allege a coverup featuring “preferential treatment” and alleged false testimony by Attorney General Merrick Garland about Weiss’ ability to make independent charging decisions.
Shapley and a second IRS whistleblower testified in the past month to the House Ways and Means Committee about alleged irregularities in the Hunter Biden case.

Hunter Biden is getting away with a slap on the wrist when growing evidence uncovered by the House Oversight Committee reveals the Bidens engaged in a pattern of corruption, influence peddling, and possibly bribery.
