Hunter Biden raked in millions during "summer of debauchery"

There have been plenty of reports about Hunter Biden’s dodgy sweetheart deal making the rounds, but some of the details seemed rather vague at first. That was mostly cleared up last night when NBC News managed to get the judge in the case to release all of the documents. This was precisely what Hunter’s legal team had been trying to avoid and now it’s easy to see why. The story that the agreement tells certainly does not paint the First Son in a flattering light. (To put it mildly.) Hunter had been a drug addict for years before getting clean for a while in the early 2010s. But he relapsed into alcohol and drug addiction following the death of his brother in 2015, which is probably understandable. What followed was a period of what he describes as worsening substance abuse issues, including a period in 2018 that he called “a spring and summer of nonstop debauchery.” But what was perhaps even more amazing and quite suspicious is the fact that this hopeless crack addict was still raking in millions of dollars without much of an explanation as to how he came by all of that money.

“Following the death of his brother in 2015, Biden relapsed and over time progressed from alcohol to abusing illegal drugs, including crack cocaine in 2016,” the joint filing says. “Nonetheless, in 2017, despite his addiction, Biden successfully entered into business ventures and landed legal clients, earning millions of dollars.”

His substance abuse issues were even worse the following year, and included a period in Los Angeles that Biden described as a “spring and summer of nonstop debauchery,” the document says. Despite the large sums of money Biden was raking in — and numerous reminders from his accountant and a business partner to pay his taxes — he failed to pay his taxes both years, and his wild spending had left him cash poor, the filing said.

The documents describe how Hunter was using crack when he purchased a Colt Cobra .38 Special handgun in Delaware in 2018. He lied when filling out his application, checking the “no” box where it asked if he had used any illegal narcotics. NBC reports that he only had the gun for eleven days before dumping it in a trashcan “outside a supermarket in Greenville, Delaware.” (They fail to mention that it was across from a school.) That would land most any of the rest of us in jail, but they’re trying to let Hunter off with a “diversion” if he can manage to stay out of trouble for two years.

As I noted above, however, we really need to be observing the traditional rule in journalism and following the money. In 2017, at the height of his addiction, it’s reported that Hunter “successfully entered into business ventures and landed legal clients, earning millions of dollars.” And despite receiving “numerous reminders” from his accountants and his business partner, he “failed” to pay his taxes on the money.

So what happened to all of those unpaid tax bills? Well, he paid off roughly two million in back taxes in October 2021 “with the help of a third party.” We all know who that was since it was the same “sugar brother” who let Hunter use his private jet and stay in his California beach house. Some people clearly seem to lead a charmed life.

It’s true that Hunter earned a law degree when he was younger, but who in their right mind was paying this crack addict that kind of money for legal services while he was chasing hookers across the country? And what were these vaguely described “business ventures” that were so profitable? I think the Oversight Committee has already given us a pretty good idea of the answer to that question. Hunter was selling access to his father all around the world and having millions of dollars wired to him through a spiderweb of LLCs intended to obscure the paper trail.

But now the statute of limitations has run out for the tax evasion charges for some of his most “profitable” years. (Funny how that happened, eh?) And unfortunately, the statute of limitations for bribery is also five years. The same goes for money laundering. So unless the committee turns something up that happened after 2019, it’s looking as if both Hunter and Joe Biden will get away with everything. And even if some later crimes do emerge, there’s no way Biden’s Justice Department will bring charges. But we can still at least bring all of this to light and expose the Biden crime family for who they really are, assuming the legacy media can ever be convinced to cover the story.
