National Review
After dragging his feet so long that the statute of limitations had expired on several potential charges, the Department of Justice special counsel David Weiss indicted Hunter Biden on nine tax charges, including three felonies.
Weiss acted only after the sweetheart plea deal he tried to grant Hunter imploded when a judge asked a few rudimentary questions. The humiliated prosecutor has now twice indicted the younger Biden (gun charges were filed a few weeks back).
But Weiss is still protecting “the big guy.”
The president’s name is not mentioned in the 56-page charging document, but his shadow hovers all over it.
.Not surprisingly, media coverage pored over the salacious details—how Hunter blew millions of dollars on crack, women, and song.
Focus on how the money was spent may temporarily have the Justice Department’s desired effect of diverting attention from how it was generated—an eye-popping $24 million over five years from agents of corrupt and anti-American regimes. But the business was Joe Biden: willfully abetting the sale of political influence for years.
Weiss can’t hide that.
