DOJ had all of the evidence about Hunter Biden's crimes. Hunter committed tax fraud while in the throes of drug addiction. Hunter lied on his form to buy a gun. DOJ knew all of that and there was a plea deal all ready to go forward until the Magat masses shouted out "crucify him, crucify him."
About that tax fraud:
How common are cases like this? Criminal tax cases generally are very rare, said Beverly Moran, a tax law expert at Vanderbilt University. The average American has almost as good a chance of winning the lottery as being criminally prosecuted for tax fraud, she said, based on 2021 data from the Internal Revenue Service.
But the crowd screamed all the louder, "crucify him, crucify him." So Merrick Garland washes his hands and defers to the Magat crowd and appoints a special counsel to investigate the evidence that was already investigated.
And so, even though cases of prosecution for tax fraud, when the fraudster pays all of the back taxes he owes, is extremely rare, Hunter Biden is awaiting his punishment. In the spirit of not being partisan, Merrick Garland didn't indict Hunter Biden, the special counsel did.
In the spirit of not being partisan, waiting for Merrick Garland to appoint a special counsel to investigate James Comer's shell company which sure looks like it was formed to commit tax fraud, not to mention to hide financial disclosure of his income to Congress.
