It seems Hunter Biden has decided to play courtroom hopscotch instead of simply facing the music for his tax evasion escapades. In what can only be described as an exercise in legal acrobatics, he is looking to enter an Alford plea, which allows him to dodge outright admission of guilt. While this may sound like legal wizardry, it only serves to highlight the lengths he will go to avoid actually taking responsibility. For those who might be unfamiliar, an Alford plea is when a defendant acknowledges the prosecution has sufficient evidence to convict yet maintains their innocence. In layman’s terms, it’s a way for Hunter to keep his head just above water while paddling furiously underneath.
In a court eager to dredge up details that would embarrass even the most seasoned political families, Hunter’s legal team seems intent on crafting a narrative that portrays him as a victim in this sordid saga. The judge, Mark Scarsi, has made it clear that Hunter is not entitled to any special treatment, despite what his fancy lawyers might argue. The good judge will need to see hard evidence before he accepts any plea, so the defense is working up a case as confident as a cat on a hot tin roof.

Hunter’s financial misadventures could soon be laid bare for all to see. The court has been warned that they may call witnesses, including a host of unsavory characters tied to Hunter’s alleged escapades, to explain how several baffling “business expenses” fit into the tax equation. Claims of prostitutes and high-end dining could soon have a front-row seat, complete with popcorn, as the drama unfolds. Adding to the spectacle, it seems Hunter considered his stay at the Chateau Marmont to be a legitimate business expense—who knew living lavishly could be so tax-deductible?
The prosecution, led by Special Counsel David Weiss, has accused Hunter of a nearly four-year-long scheme to dodge at least $1.4 million in taxes. In a gripping twist more dramatic than a soap opera, taxpayers might soon learn how the First Son allegedly maneuvered finances through his own company while pulling out significant cash under the radar. Interestingly, all this financial sleight of hand may have come at the cost of getting the IRS’s attention—a risky behavior synonymous with the Biden family’s brand of chaos.
Despite Joe Biden’s public claims that he would not intervene on Hunter’s behalf, many are skeptical. The narrative that the President wouldn’t lift a finger for his son might hold as much weight as a feather in a windstorm. While Hunter’s team argues against the judge’s reluctance to accept an Alford plea, they may be woefully unprepared for the reality check ahead. As the courtroom drama continues, it seems that the Biden family motto may very well be “do what you want, just don’t get caught,” except now the catching is becoming harder to avoid. With each passing day, it feels more and more like the American public is being served a live-action episode of “As the Biden Turns.”
