Hunter Biden says U.S. prosecutor investigating his taxes

[kamahele]

I would think that in a Biden White House, the new President will be hands off of any investigation into relatives unlike the current White House

Hang on a minute. These claims that Biden jr was taking money from China ( Russia/Ukraine) have been debunked. The laptop containing all the evidence and proof and involvement of other significant family members was confirmed as a fabrication and Russian disinformation, right? Tony Bobulinski who was heavily featured in the emails, and personally confirmed the veracity of them and the Biden families involvement has been forgotten and is not newsworthy. So how is he now being investigated for tax avoidance bearing from activities that did not happen? This is so confusing.

CNN also reported that Hunter received an alleged gift in the form of a 2.8 carat diamond worth $80,000 from CEFC's founder and former chairman Ye Jianming, albeit Hunter claims afterwards that he gave it to "other associates." Regardless, CNN suggested Hunter may have evaded a federal gift tax that might be part of the US audit. 

Which is irrelevant.

US gift tax is applied to the donor and not to the donee unless there is an agreement between donor and donee for donee to pay the tax. Even when the donor is a foreign party. The donee however must file a IRS form identifying the donor's gift and comes with substantial penalties if not filed, regardless whether the US ever collects tax from the donor.

However, Hunter does admit receiving something of value without payment and in turn,  if Hunter gave the diamond to someone else without fair compensation, he becomes a donor and may be subject to a gift tax - or not. Many loopholes in US tax laws.

With regard to all the claimed 'evidence' and likewise 'no evidence' concerning Hunter Biden, it seems to me that both sides are playing it slow at the moment, no doubt waiting for the middle of next month. Listening to one channel I got the feeling...hey no one (in business or politics) is that clean...while listening to another I got the feeling surely HB couldn't have been that stupid?????

Taxes are a difficult thing.  I use to be a tax accountant.  Even returns reviewed by the senior partners could still turn up with negative audits.  The laws are very complex and open to interpretation.

It smacks a little of Trump letting the dogs loose. However, the American justice system is quite thorough on occasion and the issue will go away if he is innocent.

Yes, but it's all ok because the president elect said he's never taken a single penny from any foreign entity; and he never discussed business with his son. 

 

Reassuring isn't it. 

 

The murky world of politics.

 Reassuring ,hardly ! According to the Politico article this has been pushed around  by other authorities for quite a while,thats is most upsetting! If there was illegalities ,I hope its reported!

That being said, I will only quote what is obvious and not speculate or form a opinion other then the related Politico article. Which by the way  according to mediabiasfactcheck, Politico has  a high overall rating and "High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing and a clean fact check record".

"The investigation of Hunter Biden has dealt primarily with his financial ties to foreign figures and businesses, according to the person familiar with it. In a standard practice for tax investigations, the Tax Division at Main Justice in Washington has also been involved in the probe, the person said".

So what? You've posted the same link two times! Let's convict him if he's guilty! No problem for anyone.

You ok with anonymous sources now all of a sudden?

[TallGuyJohninBKK]

The NY Times is reporting that the money laundering angle that at some point was part of the Hunter Biden inquiry may not have found enough evidence to support prosecution, so the authorities moved onto tax issues instead.

 

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/10/us/politics/hunter-biden-investigation.html

 

Quote

The inquiry originally focused on possible money laundering but did not gather enough evidence for a prosecution, according to people close to the case. Instead, it turned to tax matters. The federal government and the city of Washington, D.C., issued liens against Hunter Biden for unpaid taxes but have since released them.

Their projection and hypocrisy knows no bounds.  It's actually kind of impressive how detached from facts and reality they can be.

 

I guess it's also why they make some of the best religious followers.  You have to be able to switch your brain completely off to believe in a lot of that as well.
