Hunter Biden says U.S. prosecutor investigating his taxes

[looking on the bright side]

There were reports about Hunter Biden's deals and connections in the Ukraine 6 months ago,  related to his position in Burisma , now notorious Ukraine company. I posted about it here in Thaivisa,  again received negative comments, disbelief, but now it is all coming out what he did. Also his connections and business deals with  a Chinese comm.party member who is now nowhere to be found will be investigated . Or maybe not.

Hunter is being investigated concerning potential tax matters, so far no allegations of corruption by US authorities, only by Democrat's political enemies. In comparison look at trump's behaviour, you must ask yourself why has trump, for eight years, tried to block investigations into his and family business practices - hint they have already settled out of Court for malfeasance for their business and charity activities, with yet another appeal to the Supreme Court to block further investigations by NY State. It will be interesting to see, once trump is removed from power, if the family will again attempt to settle out of Court. Hopefully any attempt to settle out of Court will be rejected and proceeds to conviction by the Court.

Q. Is it only Hunter being investigated?

A. No James Biden, Joe's younger brother is also being investigated.

 

"On Wednesday, Hunter Biden confirmed that he is under federal investigation for possible tax fraud, with reports suggesting the Justice Department is also examining his overseas business dealings.

But that probe, which was first opened in 2018, also reportedly covers another member of the Biden family: James Biden, the younger brother of the president-elect."

I'm sure there are no further issues. And there is no suggestion that PE Biden did anything wrong whatsoever. It is possible he never even talks to his son or brother, how should he know what they are up to behind his back. Still, not good optics I'm afraid. Let's see what else the news feed brings us in coming months....

According to the OP and other articles,  the issues you are addressing have been already investigated since 2018. It is not surprising as Trump was anxious to get dirt on the Biden familly. So they have been investigated, not "will be" investigated.

From what I also read (wsj), Barr knew about these investigations for months. Despite his obvious tendency to please Trump, he did not reveal any finding to the public or to the Senate committeel. Now, investigations are focused on tax issues

So it seems that what you posted before is not likely to be confirmed.

NY Post is not the most reliable outlet.  It's the one that started the BS laptop conspiracy.

But did I make a mistake based on some unethical lapse? Absolutely not."

That is the point on which all of this rests. While it may have been a mistake from a perception standpoint for Hunter Biden to sit on foreign boards, that doesn't mean that any laws were broken. What passes for guilt in the court of public opinion often would get you laughed out of a court of law.

 

So that's where we are. The investigation is ongoing. We need to wait to see what it turns up -- if anything. Only then will we be able to definitely ascertain how much trouble Hunter Biden is actually in.

rated as mixed, the same as CNN. Who claimed with no evidence that the laptop was a conspiracy. In fact they claimed this even though the head of National Intelligence confirmed it was not Russian misinformation, and the biden family themselves that have still to deny the authenticity of the laptop. Coupled with the fact we are now re-living Octobers news that they tried covering up suggests the NYP were in fact credible and correct in their assertions pre-election.

 Can you point to any credible evidence for the laptop being a "conspiracy" ie who made it up and with real evidence to back it up? It would be nice to lay this one to rest once and for all.

The NY Post is the outlet that ran the dodgy laptop conspiracy theory report.  Even the reporters responsible for it wouldn't sign it!

 

You are aware of that, right?  It's owned by Murdoch.  Who owns Fox.  Nuff said.

A pity you omitted this from your source, https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/new-york-post/

• Overall we rate the New York Post on the far end of Right-Center Biased due to story selection that typically favors the Right and Mixed (borderline questionable) for factual reporting based on several failed fact checks.

Actually, the key issue is the absence of observable evidence. Giuliani has only provided bits of information to the NYP, and no original one. The original computer files (or a digital copy) with their meta-data have not been provided, I.e. only pdf copies of emails, not a copy of the computer files themselves. One may wonder why? (I have an obvious answer to this question).

 

So no one has to prove it being a conspiracy, because there is no evidence to scrutinize and proof. Until the so-called evidence is made public, it remains a conspiracy.

As well they should.

[looking on the bright side]

Hi Jeffr 2, I agree with you  that the expressed ideas should be factual. That is what I follow. The story about Hunter Biden has been circulating for months on the small scale, and if you can find anything from some Ukrainian source, good, it is them and their AG who have given some details.  As to this alt right, I even don't know who they are, there are many groups branded 'right' and also many groups branded 'left'.  I think these words 'right' and 'left' have lost their meaning  and they are just used for political purpose and manipulation.  To add, from what I read -reports  from  different countries,- I can see that the word socialism is not understood  by quite a few. But I understand that people everywhere are trying to get social justice and better life, and unfortunately they are often mislead and manipulated

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.

No. What was said and still holds true is that the claim about the source of the computer is not proven. The material that the NY Post dumped was not vetted beforehand as it would have and should have been by a decent investigative journalist. Rudolph Giuliani refused to release the metadata that could help to establish the authenticity of the computer and the data.

from the op

 

"The investigation began as early as 2018, predating the arrival of William Barr as attorney general, two people briefed on the investigation told CNN."

Material From Giuliani Spurred a Separate Justice Dept. Pursuit of Hunter Biden

The inquiry, based out of Pittsburgh, was run parallel to an investigation in Delaware and raised alarms among F.B.I. agents about politicization...

Attorney General William P. Barr had asked the top federal prosecutor in Pittsburgh, Scott W. Brady, to accept and vet any information that Mr. Giuliani had on the Biden family, including Hunter Biden. Mr. Brady hosted Mr. Giuliani for a nearly four-hour meeting in late January to discuss his materials.

What’s that famous saying ,  like father like son , yes that it 

You think that's bad? Rudolph Giuliani's father worked for the Mafia and did hard time.

 

Giuliani Acknowledges Knowing Of His Father's Criminal Activity

Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani acknowledged for the first time last night, in a television interview, that he had known about his father's criminal activity, which was revealed in a book published last month. The mayor said his father's mistakes had influenced him to go into law enforcement...

The book describes Harold Giuliani's prison term for the armed robbery of a milkman and contends that the elder Giuliani was an enforcer for his brother-in-law's loan-sharking operation. 

https://www.nytimes.com/2000/08/10/nyregion/giuliani-acknowledges-knowing-of-his-father-s-criminal-activity.html

And if his criminal father was working for his loan shark brother-in-law, does that mean Giuliani gets his criminality from his mother as well as his father?

There have been many posts about Burisma that allege some corrupt connection between Joe Biden and Burisma. What those commentators consistently ignore is that everything that Biden did in the Ukraine was carried out at the behest of the State Dept and Barack Obama. So unless you're claiming that Barack Obama and the State Dept motivation was not to fight corruption in the Ukraine but to help Hunter Biden, you've got exactly nothing.
