Hunter Biden pleaded guilty Thursday to all nine federal tax charges he faced, staving off his second criminal trial this year just before it was set to begin, according to The Associated Press.
In a stunning and last-minute twist, U.S. District Judge Mark Scarsi accepted the plea change on the same day jury selection was scheduled to get underway in Los Angeles federal court. Biden admitted to withholding at least $1.4 million in taxes over four years in the throes of his addiction to cocaine, spending it instead on a lavish lifestyle.

So, Hunter will take the fall to protect The Big Guy and all their money.
Do you think the judge will accept a bribe to give 90 days unsupervised probation or something simple like that?

They should postpone Hunter's sentencing until Jan. 21, so Joe does not have the chance to pardon him.

If he failed to pay $1.4 million in taxes, how much money did he grift? It had to be multi-millions. And will he have to pay the back taxes plus interest?

Trials bring all sorts of information out to the open. Lesser of two evils. Take the fall; expect soft landing none the less.

I’m shocked, shocked! Who’s paying the Biden crime family for keeping the evidence from coming out at trial?

Expect another sweetheart deal from the Biden Department of Injustice.
And #4, a person doesn't have to be sentenced, or even charged to receive a pardon.

What's so stunning, Joebama couldn't pardon until he was found guilty.

The pardon has already been written, signed and witnessed. It will appear only if president poopy-pants croaks before he can issue a pardon. “Doctor” Jill will not let this slip by.

Hunter is protecting his daddy's financial shenanigans, not to mention creating a situation where he is sentenced prior to daddy leaving office. Biden will pardon him, despite what he promised earlier. Since he is not running, no will care that he lied.

When is the state going to charge him for tax evasion? If he evaded federal taxes he evaded state taxes also. FJB can't pardon him for state charges.

It’s all bogus designed to mislead the US public during the run up to the general election in November. Joe Biden has been lying to the American people for decades as he and members of his family perpetrated corrupt activities sucking up millions of dollars from foreign entities and individuals. If Hunter had not pled guilty a lot of evidence of past Biden corrupt dealings was sure to come out during a trial.
In the matter of Biden’s son Hunter, there is no doubt that regardless of what Biden is saying now, that after the November election he, if he is still the President, will either completely either pardon across the board, or will commute any sentence in prison that Hunter receives before Biden leaves office. If Harris wins the election, you can safely bet that Harris, in accordance with an “under the covers agreement” with Biden as part of him not running for election, will do the same after she enters the White House in January. In those respects be weary of the claims. that Biden’s Department of Justice was not aware that Hunter would plead guilty and be sentenced before the election so that either Biden before he leaves office, or Harris if she is elected, can either pardon Hunter across the border or commute his sentence, if Hunter does actually receive a prison sentence, that at the moment is no way certain.
