Jonathan Turley On The Hunter Biden GJ
Credit where it’s due: Professor Turley has been consistently calling for a Special Counsel to investigate the Biden Crime Family. Today he draws attention to recent witness testimony before the grand jury investigating Hunter Biden in Delaware. That is, while he obviously doesn’t discuss the testimony, he discusses the type of witnesses who have been turning up and the type of evidence they are likely providing:
The investigation, so far, is focusing on tax law issues:
The problem is not that Hunter Biden allegedly shook down foreign countries and companies for millions. The problem is that he may not have reported or paid taxes on all of that largess.
However, the recent witnesses have a profile in common—they’re women who can provide details about Hunter Biden’s lavish spending. As Turley explains, if Hunter had simply admitted to “mistakes” on his taxes, none of this should really be happening. Instead, these witnesses are the type that a US Attorney deploys when he’s looking to secure an indictment—or so Turley, and experienced defense attorney, surmises:
What is striking about these witnesses is that they are the type of witnesses that poison both grand juries and trial juries against a defendant. Such lavish spending details were used by the Justice Department against figures like Paul Manafort. More importantly, the testimony appears directed at showing that Hunter had far greater income than reported. That is a curious effort if Biden has “come clean” on simple reporting errors for taxes.
None of this means that Biden will clearly be indicted. Moreover, Attorney General Merrick Garland has thus far refused to appoint a Special Counsel despite the clear basis for such an appointment.
Weiss clearly has Hunter’s laptop, which details millions in foreign payments as well as lavish gifts and expense accounts. What is not known is whether Weiss has pursued other possible crimes, including potentially criminal financial transactions. The uncertainty is precisely why some of us have called for a special counsel. President Biden’s family is not only implicated in these dealings but shared accounts with President Biden are discussed in emails.
In the meantime, the Weiss investigation chugs along. It is a curious approach if, as suggested by some supportive legal experts, this is a relatively minor tax reporting investigation.
Read the whole article—it’s not long—to get up to speed.
Forgive the naive question, but can an Attorney General be impeached? It would seem to me that Garland has committed a number of offenses that might be impeachable, with his labeling of peacefully protesting parents and now anyone who disagrees with the government (for all intents and purposes). Of course we would need a change in the make up of Congress first.
Interesting happenings. I wonder if Weiss has called the former naval officer, naval academy graduate, and Hunter Biden business partner who came forward before the 2020 election? And what about Devon Archer who was recently in the news for a plea deal?
