« on: December 07, 2023, 02:17:45 AM »Even under the scenario that Hunter Biden was collecting money under the guise of providing access to political power, but was really scamming the people paying him, how can you maintain that this shouldn't be investigated by Congress? Why are you guys crying that this should not be investigated?First I did NOT say it was a scam, there are multiple reasons to put a high profile person on your board, one is just how it appears. We should investigate things of which we have reason to believe (i.e. evidence) that there was illegal activity. I am not aware of such in the Hunter Biden case.
What there IS apparently evidence for is that Hunter Biden did not pay his federal taxes for a number of years and dealing with that (in addition to paying the back taxes and interest which he did already) was all part of the plea deal that fell apart a while back. So now he is being charged with federal tax violations. I think that was all pretty much expected. How much of that plea deal failure is politically motivated (to have the case going on during the campaign season) and how it will all eventually turn out, I have no idea.
