Some breaking news out of today that I assume everyone has already seen: Hunter Biden, President-Elect Joe Bidens son, is under federal tax investigation relating to his international consulting / business dealings.

We're not really sure exactly how long this investigation has been ongoing, I've heard some reports that it's been open since 2018 but this is the first time the DOJ has said something to the Bidens'.

I'm not a legal expert, though I'm pretty sure that this case was probably open prior to the election. There was no leaks for this particular investigation, and I think if there was it would've been another attack avenue for the whole Hunter Biden corruption thing that the Trump campaign was trying to do.

"Prior to the election" Yes, I've read that it was ongoing and certainly before 11-3.

Maybe it was six or twelve months earlier. But it was related to the cases where associates of his were convicted and he was not.

I've seen some of this as well, though I haven't been able to get any reputable sources to back this. Pretty sure ZeroHedge said something like this on their twitter, so I guess that works.

Gotcha though, even without reputable sources backing this the investigation had to be started prior to the investigation.

So he's qualified to run for president in 2024 and doesn't have to disclose his taxes because audit? I think that's how IRS investigations work Grin

No, that's certainly not how "IRS investigations work", when you are (although certainly not admitting it) talking about the weaponized, targeting of conservatives during the Obama regime, which is the time of the audit in question.

So are you pro weaponizing the IRS to target people of certain political inclinations?

Never mind, don't bother trying to dodge the issue.

It'll start up soon enough again if Biden gets in.

Not sure if you're noticing that he is making a joke about President Trump here -- about the fact that he kept pointing to an audit that was ongoing for years as the reason for not showing people his tax returns. That's that.

The joke is about how precedent would allow for Hunter Biden to run for Pres now and no one should have issues with his taxes.
