Nobody loves Hunter Biden enough to pay his high priced team of attorneys to fight a losing battle. Now that Joe’s influence isn’t worth peddling, he’s on his own. Even his bong-smoking sugar brother, Kevin Morris, kicked him to the curb. Biden pleaded guilty on Thursday to spare his family the embarrassment and potential criminal liability threatened by his trial.
Hunter Biden pleads guilty
Hunter Biden is guilty of felony tax evasion and he knows it. Going to trial in an attempt to fight it would only make things worse. Things can’t get much worse for him personally but the rest of the family faces serious exposure. Joe and James Biden both have pending charges floating around in the wind, waiting to see which way the next election blows.
Other members of the Biden family could get sucked into the swirling tornado of corruption and money laundering investigations. Some high ranking government officials are just as nervous.
In his public statement, Hunter emphasizes he’s only copping a plea to “spare” his family from the “needless embarrassment” of having to go through a second trial. His only defense to writing porn and hookers off on his taxes as a business expense is that he was too high on crack to care.
Everyone knew that already and being high on crack doesn’t get anyone out of tax evasion charges.
These particular charges include serious felonies which could result in up to 25 years in prison. In his last federal trial, Hunter claimed when convicted that he had no prior felonies and is expected to receive some leniency for that. He hasn’t been sentenced yet.
Now that he’s admitted guilt, being a prior felon will make for stiffer sentencing. Realistically, he’s looking at somewhere between 21 months and 17 years. It will probably come in much closer to the low end of the range.
Don’t expose the family
The guilty plea is obviously a damage control move meant to contain the blast to Hunter and his crack-induced insanity. No need to delve into the business deals which generated the income he didn’t pay taxes on. He can’t deny he wrote hookers off as business expenses when David Weiss was all set to start parading hookers on the witness stand.
They would testify as to the nature of services rendered and fees charged. Biden would have to justify writing them off as legitimate business expenses.
Maybe his diabolically high paid attorney could have pulled him out of it. Abbe Lowell gave it a great try with the plea agreement not to prosecute Hunter for anything, ever again, ever. It was only a single conservative judge who blocked that bold move.
Now that Joe’s already been sidelined, Kevin Morris has nothing to gain from paying Hunter’s legal team. He’s also stuck with a whole bunch of overinflated artwork.
“I will not subject my family to more pain, more invasions of privacy and needless embarrassment,” Hunter Biden calmly declared to the press. “For all I have put them through over the years, I can spare them this, and so I have decided to plead guilty.” It was made crystal clear to him that if he didn’t fall on his own sword, fast, he might trip down the stairs.
Biden knows that his only hope now is cracking a shell company open to put a whole bunch of money on his prison books, to make him more valuable alive than dead on the inside. Attempting to beat Hunter Biden to death in some quiet corner is expected to be an engaging inmate pastime.
