Astounding. Ziegler seems incompetent.

Zeigler doesn't understand that that a lot of those monies were investments, not "income to Hunter Biden" - and then "we" wonder why HE thinks Biden should be prosecuted but the prosecutors don't.

Garland did exactly what the right has been clamoring for. So sit down.

Yea, I'm confused why the Rs are upset about Weiss being appointed **WHEN THEY SPECIFICALLY ASKED FOR HIM TO BE APPOINTED**. I try not to get into the Rs heads too much these days, but this one is a real head scratcher.

Can a R explain why now Weiss is unfit when he was appointed by Trump and Rs wanted him?

1. They didn't.
2. A special prosecutor should have been appointed YEARS ago because of the conflict of interest. We have Biden's DOJ investigating a member of Biden's family in which Biden himself could be implicated. If this doesn't scream conflict of interest, I don't know what does.
3. It should have been someone from OUTSIDE the government BECAUSE of the conflict of interest.
4. Weiss has demonstrated through his actions... letting the statute of limitations lapse, agreeing to a sweetheart deal, not allowing investigators do a complete investigation.... that he should not continue in this role.

Are you saying that Trump’s DOJ didn’t investigate any of the Bidens? Why not?

I am saying that Weiss has spent 5 years obstructing and slow walking this case. He did NOT properly investigate this case, as the whistleblower testimony indicates. Whether he was handcuffed by Biden's DOJ or part of a coverup remains to be seen.
You cannot possibly look at the plea deal that was proposed by Weiss and claim he did an effective job. It was a joke. He thought he would pull something over on the court. Fortunately, he got a decent judge who asked the right questions.

Last time I checked, Biden has been in office for two years, so most of the 5 years you are citing happened under Barr and Trump.

So, what you are saying is there is something known as "The Deep State."
I agree. There are several career attorneys determined to protect the Democrats. Weiss is one of them.
Whistleblower testimony proves it. And, I remind you... at least one of the whistleblowers is a Democrat himself.
And, apparently, according to Ziegler, the shenanigans happened during the Biden term.

OOGA BOOOGA "ThE DeeP StATe!!!!1!!!" 🤪

For all I care, you might as well be trying to claim shapeshifting alien sasquatches from Zeta Reticuli have taken over the IRS and FBI.

So this move does three things:
1. Clears existing charges against the First Crackhead.
2. Slows the roll of any prosecution with a reset, which conveniently gives them time to drag further and let the statute of limitations clock run on some more charges.
3. Give Weiss and DOJ in general cover to keep repeating the, "I cannot answer because there is an ongoing investigation," mantra.

The charges were BS...they were only levied BECAUSE he is Hunter Biden. No average American gets charged with what Hunter did here.
If there are any crimes, they will be prosecuted.

Weiss will have to write a report just like Durham and Mueller did...if he ends up not charging anything else, it will be explained in that report.

Bullcrap.

Go to the Whsitleblower thread where someone posted the actual facts of this case as it compares to Hunter Biden to see why the charges and results are different.

Why don't YOU explain how they are different? From what I see, HB's crimes are more severe and his failure to pay amounted to millions, not tens of thousands.

HB paid his taxes. Just late on doing so. And with no evidence of any attempt to deceive or mislead or cheat on them, as opposed to the other guy who DID actively attempt to deceive, mislead and cheat.

It took 15 seconds to find it in that thread:

According to his plea agreement, De Sousa was employed by the Baltimore Police Department beginning in 1998. De Sousa announced his resignation from BPD on May 15, 2018. On June 10, 1999, De Sousa submitted an Employee’s Withholding Exemption Certificate (W-4) to the City of Baltimore falsely claiming nine allowances for both federal and state tax purposes. By virtue of this claim, De Sousa substantially reduced the amount of taxes withheld from his salary each year. When he filed his federal and state income taxes for calendar years 2008 through 2012, he falsely claimed deductions to which he was not entitled, including for unreimbursed employee expenses when he had no such expenses, mortgage interest deductions and deductions for local property taxes when he did not have a mortgage or own any real property, and business losses when he did not operate any businesses. By virtue of these improper deductions, De Sousa fraudulently reduced the amount of taxes he owed to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the State of Maryland.

De Sousa admitted that for calendar years 2011 and 2012, he did not file tax returns at all and did not do so until 2014. When he did file returns for those years he falsely claimed unreimbursed employee expenses and donations to charity. De Sousa also failed to pay penalties and interest on those late-filed returns despite having been told to do so by the IRS. In addition, as of May 5, 2018, De Sousa had not filed taxes for 2013, 2014, or 2015, despite knowing that he had a legal obligation to do so. By virtue of the nine allowances he falsely claimed, De Sousa also owed additional money to the United States and the State of Maryland in each of those years, as he also knew

According to the tax Information, Hunter Biden received taxable income in excess of $1,500,000 annually in calendar years 2017 and 2018. Despite owing in excess of $100,000 in federal income taxes each year, he did not pay the income tax due for either year. Biden has paid his back tax with penalties and interest.
https://www.justice.gov/usao-de/pr/tax-and-firearm-charges-filed-against-robert-hunter-biden

So...not bullcrap.

VS. (This from Ziegler - WB2 - testimony)
And, fortunate for HB, he had a rich friend - Kevin Morris - who paid the back taxes. But NOT the ones that Weiss allowed the statute of limitations to expire on.......

"Hunter Biden had had a lot of tax issues, even predating all this stuff," WB2 testified. "Back in 2002, he filed his Form 1040 late — filing and owing over $100,000 in taxes; 2003, owed more than $100,000 in taxes; 2004, late-filed and owed more than $20,000 in taxes; and then 2005, late-filed his personal return and owed over $100,000 in taxes."

Fast-forward to 2014, when Joe Biden was vice president and a corrupt Ukrainian energy company, Burisma, put Hunter Biden on its board of directors. According to WB2, Burisma paid Hunter Biden $666,667 that year to do little or no work. Hunter Biden received the money, WB2 explained, and then moved it to a Chinese company run by one of his associates. That company then "loaned" the money to Hunter Biden.

"So imagine this," WB2 said. "If you are an owner of a company and your friend tells you that, 'I want to pay my wages to your company, and you're going to loan the money back to me,' that's essentially what happened here. He took loans from that corporation ... and he didn't pay taxes on those loans. ... So essentially, for 2014, we found that Hunter didn't report any of the money he earned from Burisma." The problem, WB2 said, was: "You can't loan yourself your own income."

A House Republican lawyer asked: "So none of this was taxed?" WB2 responded: "None of it was taxed." The lawyer said: "And to date, none of it has been paid or prosecuted?" WB2 responded: "So none of this has been paid or prosecuted. And I would also like to note that the statute [of limitations] has run out on these tax years or on the 2014 tax year." The year 2014 was not part of the misdemeanor charges against Hunter Biden. As far as the IRS and Justice Department are concerned, that's all over.

Hunter Biden did pay some of his taxes on Burisma money in 2015. But then, in 2016, Hunter Biden did not file a personal return at all and did not pay the $581,713 he owed in taxes, according to WB2. Hunter Biden moved to California, entered his drug addict years, and did not file tax returns for 2017 or 2018, either. In 2019, he got sober and faced a child support case for a child he had had with a former stripper in Arkansas. He hired a new accountant and, in February 2020, filed his 2017 and 2018 returns, according to WB2.

The 2018 return, WB2 said, contained false claims for deductions. "Some of the items that he deducted were personal no-show employees," WB2 said. "He deducted payments that were made to who he called his West Coast assistant, but she was essentially a prostitute. He made payments — there's an $18,000 wire that is made to one of these individuals, and on the wires, they say $8,000 in wage and $10,000 in golf — $10,000 golf club member deposit. And we know that that $10,000 went to pay for a sex club. He went to a sex club — and we've talked to the person that owned that sex club, and they confirmed that he was there. And the [sex club member] has to pay $10,000 ... so that was deducted on the tax return."

Hunter Biden also "deducted expenses for hotel rooms for one of his drug dealers or what we believed to be one of his drug dealers," WB2 added. "There was a significant amount of expenses deducted related to his girlfriend at the time, Airbnbs related to her, hotel rooms. So he deducted a lot for the Chateau Marmont, and he actually was blacklisted and thrown out of the Chateau Marmont. We actually have ... photos of the rooms and the destruction that was done to the rooms."

In those years, Hunter Biden was in full flight when it came to profiting from his father's name and influence. The money wasn't just coming from Ukraine. It was coming from all over the world. "Global income streams for everyone altogether, so it's for the period 2014 through 2019, our investigative years, so the total global transfers that Hunter and his associates would have received from Ukraine, Romania, and China was $17.3 million, approximately," WB2 said. But that was for everyone involved in the Hunter Biden enterprise. As for Hunter Biden himself, WB2 said: "Of this amount, for the period 2014 through ... the end of 2019 — that's when income stops coming in — it's $8.3 million. This is what Hunter would have received of that." That's the bottom line for Hunter Biden's foreign income during that period: $8.3 million.

This is verging on deranged and delusional because the actual facts, events and timeline do not support any kind of "Biden coverup" hypothesis. Weiss was appointed by Trump. The supposed "slow walking" and "obstructing" and "coverup" happened on TRUMP's watch, with TRUMP's DoJ, not Biden's.

They did ask for Weiss to be the special counsel.

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/09/19/hunter-biden-probe-senate-republicans-seek-special-counsel-authority.html

More than 30 Senate Republicans asked Attorney General Merrick Garland on Monday to give the federal prosecutor [Weiss] who has been investigating Hunter Biden for several years “special counsel protections and authorities.”

The group, which includes Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, wrote in a letter to Garland that the move is warranted because the criminal investigation involves President Joe Biden’s son. They also contended it would “avoid the appearance of impropriety.”

Giving U.S. Attorney for Delaware David Weiss special counsel authority would also “provide additional assurances to the American people that the Hunter Biden investigation is free from political influence,” the letter argued.

Weiss was the special investigator, and Rs wanted him to be given "special counsel authority".


Once again, R revisionist history.

THAT WAS A FRICKING YEAR AGO!
And, long before Weiss proved that he was not up for the job.

Can a R explain why now Weiss is unfit when he was appointed by Trump and Rs wanted him?

1. They didn't.
2. A special prosecutor should have been appointed YEARS ago because of the conflict of interest. We have Biden's DOJ investigating a member of Biden's family in which Biden himself could be implicated. If this doesn't scream conflict of interest, I don't know what does.
3. It should have been someone from OUTSIDE the government BECAUSE of the conflict of interest.
4. Weiss has demonstrated through his actions... letting the statute of limitations lapse, agreeing to a sweetheart deal, not allowing investigators do a complete investigation.... that he should not continue in this role.

Are you saying that Trump’s DOJ didn’t investigate any of the Bidens? Why not?

I am saying that Weiss has spent 5 years obstructing and slow walking this case. He did NOT properly investigate this case, as the whistleblower testimony indicates. Whether he was handcuffed by Biden's DOJ or part of a coverup remains to be seen.
You cannot possibly look at the plea deal that was proposed by Weiss and claim he did an effective job. It was a joke. He thought he would pull something over on the court. Fortunately, he got a decent judge who asked the right questions.

The whistleblowers specifically have stated that they have no knowledge of illegality. How is this hard to understand?

This is the OPPOSITE of what they said. They said the HB should have been charged with FELONIES, not misdemeanors.
And, they weren't allowed to investigate any connections to Joe. They made that abundantly clear.

They are also investigators and not prosecutors And the prosecutors determined to not have the evidence necessary to levy charges.

End of story.

Part of the testimony from Joe Ziegler. It confirms that felony charges had been agreed upon.

THE DECISION TO BRING FELONY COUNTS AGAINST HUNTER BIDEN WAS AGREED TO BY BOTH PROSECUTORS AND INVESTIGATORS IN THE FALL OF 2021 I MET WITH PROSECUTORS ASSIGNED TO THE CASE. WE ALL AGREED AND DECIDE WHICH CHARGES WE WOULD RECOMMEND IN THE PROSECUTION REPORT WHICH INCLUDED FELONY COUNTS RELATED TO 2017 AND 18. IN MARCH OF 2022 THE PROSECUTORS REQUESTED A DISCOVERY FROM THE INVESTIGATIVE TEAM AND PRESENT OF THE CASE OF THE D.C. U.S. ATTORNEY'S OFFICE. AND LATER MEETINGS IN EARLY AUGUST OF 2022, THE PROSECUTORS, ALL FOUR ATTORNEYS, AGREED TO RECOMMEND FELONY AND MISDEMEANOR CHARGES FOR THE 20 1718, AND 19 TACKLER. INSOFAR AS THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE TAX DIVISION ATTORNEY SENT AN EMAIL ABOUT THE PROCESS OF BRINGING CHARGES TO INCLUDE FELONY AND MISDEMEANOR TAX CHARGES IN TWO SEPARATE DISTRICTS. DELAWARE IN LOS ANGELES. LESS THAN A MONTH LATER, GARY SHAFT LEON I MET WITH MR. WEISS. HE STATED THAT HE AGREED WITH US REGARDING THE 2014 TAX YEAR MISDEMEANOR AND FELONY CHARGES. THAT THIS COULD, SOMEHOW, A FIGHT THOUGH LATER MISDEMEANOR FELONY CHARGES THAT HE CONVEYED WERE STRONGER. DESPITE THESE FACTS, THE PLEA DEAL THAT HAS BEEN DISCUSSED OCCURRED. TO THIS DAY, I DO NOT HAVE A REASON WHY THAT OCCURRED.
