It appears that while the country is preoccupied with the circus that is the presidential race, the trial of Hunter Biden, a case that should have everyone’s attention, lurks just around the corner. Special Counsel David Weiss is dusting off his gavel, and things are about to get spicy, folks. The stage is set for a showdown where Biden’s kin might decide to spill the beans on the First Son’s financial escapades.
In an interesting twist, Weiss has sought an immunity deal for Hunter’s sister-in-law, Hallie Biden, and her sister, Elizabeth Secundy. They are expected to lend their voices to the choir of prosecution against Hunter as he faces nine tax-related charges. The special counsel informed Judge Mark Scarsi of the Justice Department’s approval of this immunity request, alluding to the women’s intent to invoke their Fifth Amendment rights. One can only imagine the family Thanksgiving should this trial not go well for Hunter.
IF THIS WAS THE AVERAGE JOE, HUNTER WOULD HAVE BEEN IN JAIL BY NOW. There's An Update On Hunter Biden's Criminal Tax Evasion Case https://t.co/jybqutchwg

The charges against Hunter are as colorful as they are serious. Over a period spanning 2017 to 2020, he allegedly managed to squirrel away $1.4 million in taxes by filing false returns. The scandalous activities behind it all include purchasing, shall we say, “entertainment” items like drugs and strippers and booking lavish hotel suites. It doesn’t take an IRS agent to see where priorities lie when you’re evading tax obligations.
Adding some spice to the legal drama, Weiss has accused the Biden legal team of playing a game of semantics, claiming they have “invented” reasons to discredit the special counsel’s appointment. This situation is reminiscent of a high school debate where one side scrambles to throw the other off their game, but this is no ordinary debate. This is a serious criminal trial. The special counsel is insisting that Hunter’s attorneys are clutching at straws to halt the prosecution, making it the fourth attempt to dodge the bullet.
In what could only be described as a comical attempt to sidestep reality, Hunter’s attorneys dared to quibble over their word choice between “charges” and “indictments.” When the stakes are so high, one would think they would strive for a little more precision. The judge, unimpressed by such a flimsy defense and allegations of lying, has set a hearing for August 21 to sift through what evidence will be allowed. Mark September 9 on the calendar because Hunter Biden’s day of reckoning is on the horizon, and it promises to be a riveting spectacle that goes far beyond the average courtroom drama.
