Republicans Rage at Hunter Biden’s Plea Deal: ‘Slap on the Wrist’

Hunter Biden is pleading guilty to two federal misdemeanor charges related to failing to pay his taxes, the Justice Department announced in a court filing on Tuesday.

The president’s son has reached an agreement to plead guilty on two counts of “willful failure to pay federal income tax.” Biden has also been charged with “possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance.” He reached a pretrial diversion for the firearms charged, and it is likely to be dismissed if he meets certain conditions.

Republicans, including Donald Trump. are furious.

“Wow! The corrupt Biden DOJ just cleared up hundreds of years of criminal liability by giving Hunter Biden a mere ‘traffic ticket.’ Our system is BROKEN!” the former president wrote on Truth Social. “People are going wild over the Hunter Biden Scam with the DOJ!” he added in another post.

 

They are indeed going wild. “Hunter Biden is getting away with a slap on the wrist,” wrote House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) who is leading an investigation into Biden and his family.

Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) who also serves on the Oversight Committee, called the charges “part of a deflection scheme.” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) agreed. “Hunter Biden pleading guilty to a gun charge and misdemeanor tax charges with no jail time is a stunt to make him look like he is just cooperating with the DOJ,” she wrote. “Biden’s DOJ is treating Hunter w/ kid gloves, giving him a deal that only the President’s son could receive,” wrote Rep. Kevin Hern (R-Okla.). “If any of my constituents pled guilty to the same crimes, they’d be facing jail time. This plea deal will not stop our investigation into the Biden crime family.”

“They are going for the low-hanging fruit by charging Hunter Biden with a gun felony and two tax misdemeanors, after years of slow walking their investigation,” wrote Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.). “For AG Garland to maintain his mantra that there is one standard of justice is pathetic. If the DOJ thinks this dismisses the $5 million alleged bribery scheme or the years of reported Biden family corruption, they are mistaken. We will not allow full accountability to fall by the wayside.”

The Republicans up in arms about the “kid gloves” treatment conveniently declined to note that U.S. Attorney David Weiss, who is overseeing the investigation and struck the deal with Biden, was appointed by Donald Trump.

The Justice Department had been investigating Biden since 2018. The son of the president’s potentially criminal activity has been — and will certainly remain — an obsession of the right wing, which has tried to draw a connection between Hunter Biden’s work overseas, most notably for Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma, and the president.

The House Oversight Committee has been probing the Bidens since Republicans took control of the chamber. Comer and others have recently been alleging that information provided by an unnamed whistleblower raises concerns that President Biden was involved in a bribery scheme related to Hunter’s work with Burisma. There is very little substance to the allegations, however, and there’s no actual evidence of any such scheme. Nevertheless, top-ranking Republicans have used the speculation to call for the “Biden Crime Family” to be held accountable … even thought Trump’s Justice Department possessed the same information and didn’t file charges.

Calls for justice to be served against Hunter Biden have intensified as Donald Trump faces federal charges of his own. The indictment against the former president for his handling of classified material after leaving the White House is damning, which means it’s not surprising that conservatives aren’t satisfied with the Justice Department slapping Hunter Biden with two minor tax charges.

Biden’s lawyer, Chris Clark, focused on Hunter’s efforts to continue his recovery from drug addiction in responding to the plea deal. “With the announcement of two agreements between my client, Hunter Biden, and the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Delaware, it is my understanding that the five-year investigation into Hunter is resolved,” he said in a statement. “I know Hunter believes it is important to take responsibility for these mistakes he made during a period of turmoil and addiction in his life. He looks forward to continuing his recovery and moving forward.”

The White House also released a statement on Tuesday. “The President and First Lady love their son and support him as he continues to rebuild his life,” said spokesperson Iam Sams. “We will have no further comment.”

'Slap on the wrist': Donald Trump, congressional Republicans call out Hunter Biden plea deal

 

Phillip M. Bailey, USA TODAY

The Republican lawmaker leading the politically explosive investigation into Hunter Biden was not satisfied after federal prosecutors unveiled a long-awaited plea agreement with the president's son after a nearly six year investigation.

Biden, 53, is copping to two misdemeanor tax evasion charges and one firearm offense, according to a court filing in Delaware on Tuesday.

Under the agreement, Biden will be charged but not prosecuted in connection with buying a Colt Cobra 38SPL revolver in 2018 when he was abusing drugs.

For years, Republicans have been making a public case that the president’s son committed various crimes that should result in prison time.

“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,” Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., alleged in tweet Tuesday.

 

WASHINGTON, DC - MARCH 08: House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., questions witnesses during the first public hearing of the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic in the Rayburn House Office Building on Capitol Hill on March 08, 2023 in Washington, DC.

Comer, armed with subpoena power, has been the lead congressional investigator who has used the megaphone of committee hearings to antagonize President Joe Biden through the 2024 election.

The White House has dismissed allegations against the president as partisan innuendo.

The case and plea deal have political implications as congressional Republicans, joined by former President Donald Trump and other right-leaning activists, have kept a drumbeat for years that Hunter Biden represents a corrupting force in his father's inner circle.

"Wow! The corrupt Biden DOJ just cleared up hundreds of years of criminal liability by giving Hunter Biden a mere 'traffic ticket,'" Trump said on Truth Social. "Our system is BROKEN!"

Other GOP lawmakers called out how the Hunter Biden plea deal was announced a week after Trump was arraigned on federal charges related to the classified documents seized at his Mar-a-Lago estate.

"It’s no coincidence that less than a week after President Trump is arraigned by the DOJ, Hunter Biden is pleading guilty to a sweetheart deal with no jail time," Republican Sen. Marsha Blackburn, of Tennessee, said in a tweet Tuesday.

Blackburn added how, "after years of slow walking their investigation" federal prosecutors went after "low-hanging fruit" by charging Hunter Biden with a gun felony and two tax misdemeanor.

Congressional Republicans have long questioned Hunter Biden's overseas business deals and have argued that he peddled influence on the administration through lucrative business deals and the sale of art. The White House has said the president had no role in those deals.

You would only really get upset if you expected a different outcome. This is par for the course. There is 2 tiers of justice. The hypocrisy comes when the shoe is on the other foot some people want to fake outrage. When a republican is in charge, please keep the same energy if and when they go after people who are ideological opposites.

You are describing the nature of humans. If you are amazed at the system, you are naive.

On the other hand, you don't want to accept any factions of life.

The corrupt B.S. That white males get away is just damn insane.  How the hell do you not pay Taxes and plead guilty and that settles it?  I don't remember Ronald Isley or Wesley Snipes having that option.  That FUKN Junkie should be arrested.  The other Criminal DJT will get away because that is what they do.  Corrupt as Fuck and always pushing their morality on others.  Ken Paxson corrupt ass here in Texas should have been in jail years ago.  The fact that any Black person would put any trust in these damn Charlatans deserve exactly what you have been getting a Bunch of B.S. from the worlds greatest Bullshitters.  Hunter BIden was caught with Cocaine in his vehicle as a Navy Officer and where is all the jail time.  Trump, Biden have one thing in common Corruption.  

Fuck Trump and Hunter Biden.  You can't distract me with this Left or Right B.S.  Same MoFo's.   Hell they tell you each day that both sides of these White Males are corrupt.  Just shut up and listen.  The Right is going bat Shit Crazy over Hunter's deal.  Meanshile the left white males are going Ape Shit over The Orange man.  Their ability to foist Tricknology is incredible.  A drug addict lied to get a weapon and well it's all good. WTF

Actually, I see this as a plus for the Republicans.

The Dems are very happy...not a single Dem vote will be changed by this.

The Republicans are angry...not a single Republican vote will be changed by this.

The only votes that may be affected here, are the fence-sitting independents, as they can see even more clearly now, that there is a two-tiered system of justice, which is the result of the weaponization of the DOJ controlled by this sleazy Biden Administration.

“Two tiered” is an understatement. If anyone on this board had a fraction of Hunter’s track record, we’d be in prison til the day we croaked

Hunter Biden Charges Spark Kodak Black Comparisons

Rapper Kodak Black's attorney is openly questioning why Hunter Biden didn't get the same treatment as his client, despite being charged with the same offense. Black was charged with the same federal weapons crime as Biden but Black was sentenced to more than three years in prison while President Joe Biden's son made a plea deal to avoid jail time.

Darryl Strawberry, Wesley Snipes. JaRule.  All black males pleaded guilty to the same charges all went To prison.  But Corrupt white males judged by white males are fukn Corrupt.  You see stop your B.S. about Left or Right. Those are your trickery to divert.  Because it's about being White.  I got more proof of this B S. 

Thank You former President Trump.  Though you are Corrupt as they come and will not spend 1 day in lockup.
