The Smartest Man Who Can Do No Wrong

Joe Biden has said that his son Hunter is "the smartest man he knows".

Joe Biden has said a lot of outrageous and bizarre comments in his career. There is nothing that comes close to that statement.

I can understand a father's unconditional love for his child.

However, what possessed him to say something like that?

First, consider the fact that Hunter Biden left his laptop at a Delaware computer repair shop and never returned to pick it up.

A smart move?

Then consider some of the images and documents on the computer.








Consider as well that Joe Biden and the Democrat establishment pushed a narrative during the 2020 election and beyond that the laptop was a product of Russian disinformation.

However, Hunter Biden knew that the laptop story was true.

Joe Biden knew it was true.

Hunter Biden's business associates who had emails on the computer knew it was true.

The foreign nationals he took money from and communicated with Biden by email knew it was true.

Nevertheless, the Hunter Biden laptop story that first broke a month before the election was immediately dismissed as Russians interfering in the election by Biden, the Democrats and the mainstream media.

The FBI had been in possession of the laptop for almost a year by that time and never said a word.

Social media companies like Facebook and Twitter censored the story. It is now apparent that the FBI was responsible for quashing the laptop story with the media even though they knew it was accurate.

51 so-called U.S. intelligence and national security experts signed a letter stating that the story had all the hallmarks of Russian disinformation.

We know now it was all based on a lie.

In fact, it appears the intelligence experts were recruited to sign the letter by the Biden campaign in order to provide a "talking point" for Biden to push back on the story when Trump brought it up in the October 22, 2016 debate..

This is exactly how it was used by Biden in the debate as later reported by CBS News.

During the debate on Oct. 22, 2020, in response to Trump's taunts of "it's the laptop from hell, the laptop from hell," Mr. Biden pushed back, "There are 50 former national intelligence folks who said that what this — he's accusing me of is a Russian plan — they have said that this has all the characteristics — four — five former heads of the CIA — both parties, say what he's saying is a bunch of garbage. Nobody believes it except him…and his good friend Rudy Giuliani."

The Russians were interfering in the election?

No.

It was our own government and media establishment.

We now also have the news that the smartest man that Joe Biden knows has pled guilty to tax evasion and federal gun charges.

Of course, a month ago what was Joe Biden saying about Hunter possibly facing federal charges?



“My son has done nothing wrong. I trust him. I have faith in him and it impacts my presidency by making me feel proud of him,” 


I guess that is true if you ignore the fact that Hunter was addicted to crack cocaine, he fathered an illegitimate child with a dancer at a D.C. men's club, he is in a legal battle trying to avoid paying the mother child support, used his political connections in D.C. on behalf of foreign principals and never registered this activity as required by law (FARA) lied on a federal gun application and did not pay taxes on millions of dollars of income.

That may only be half of the story.

We may never know the full extent of Hunter's wrongdoings or how he traded on his father's influence.

Or how Joe Biden might have profited from it as well.

How much faith can we have in our justice system when we see what has already come before regarding Joe and Hunter Biden?

It appears that the federal charges that Hunter has pled guilty to will result in no jail time.

For perspective, consider these reactions from some attorneys who have experience in this area of the law.









What I also find interesting in the Hunter Biden case is that the federal charges align almost perfectly with two issues that Joe Biden likes to talk about the most.

The need for more gun control.

The rich not paying their fair share of taxes.

Joe Biden talks incessantly about the need for more gun control. However, his son violated one of the gun control measures already on the books by lying on a form that is required to buy a firearm. 

Biden also complains about the rich not paying enough in taxes but his son failed to report millions of dollars on tax returns for 2017 and 2018 (when his father was Vice President).

This the smartest man Joe Biden knows?

This is a man that Joe Biden says has done nothing wrong?

Let's also not forget if someone does not report income on their tax returns it is often because that income has come from illicit or illegal activities. It may involve cash receipts off the books, bribery or income from illegal activities such as drug dealing etc. This may not be the case with Hunter Biden but any responsible prosecutor should have been investigating this angle.

It appears the IRS agents on the case wanted to charge Hunter with multiple felonies several years ago but were continually rebuffed by the DOJ.

An IRS whistleblower (the supervisory agent on the Hunter Biden case) revealed several bombshells that were disclosed by House Ways & Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith yesterday.

In addition, to not reporting income, not filing tax returns and hiding taxable income, the IRS whistleblower states that Hunter Biden was taking tax deductions for payments to prostitutes and membership in an elite sex club. 

Somehow I never thought to recommend that to my clients when I was practicing tax law.

In addition, here is a WhatsApp message that the IRS agent had obtained in which he wanted to follow up on with subpoenas and search warrants but was told to stand down.

It seems that Hunter wanted to know where the money was that had been promised from a Chinese businessman. Notice that Hunter says that WE would like to know why the commitment has not been fulfilled.

I thought Joe Biden has always said he knows nothing about Hunter's business deals?

Was Hunter using his father's name without his knowledge or approval or has Joe Biden not been truthful about his involvement with Hunter's business deals?



 

The New York Post reports that Zhao had connections with the highest levels of Chinese intelligence and reportedly funneled $5 million to Biden in business deals.

This, among many other things, did not warrant more scrutiny?

In the meantime, while Hunter Biden is being given a pass by the U.S. Justice Department they are arguing that Donald Trump should be be jailed for 75 years (effectively a life sentence) involving a dispute over Presidential records.

I am sure that it is also a mere coincidence that the Justice Department announced the plea deal with Hunter Biden shortly after the indictment of Donald Trump. 

DOJ has been investigating Hunter Biden for five years and it just happens to result in what we saw this week?

"See, there is equal justice under the law. We will bring charges against a former President or the President's son. No one is above the law."

If only that was true.

I have seen a lot of things in my lifetime that have given me pause about America's future.

The Civil Rights movement of the 1960's. The Vietnam War protests. The Pentagon Papers. Watergate. Iran-Contra. The hanging chads of the 2000 election. 9/11.

However, I have never seen anything that compares with the combination of questions about election integrity, election interference and the unequal application of the law and justice that has given me the concerns I have today about the survival of the union.

We have reached a very dangerous point. 

In a free country there are no more sacrosanct bedrock principles upon which it all rests than faith in the election process and fair and equal treatment under the law.

These principles have clearly been under assault. Not from a foreign enemy. It is a domestic one and appears to trace back to those we trust the most to protect those bedrock principles.

We sit upon a very slippery slope. 

Our country appears to be slipping over the edge as we watch it happen right in front of us.

  1. Excellent article as always. Thank you. I always liked the Twilight Zone show, but I never thought the American Justice system would become an episode.
