Hunter Biden’s plea validates allegations of IRS and DOJ interference in the 2020 election in favor of Joe Biden

Hunter Biden recently admitted guilt to multiple federal tax offenses. But does the Internal Revenue Service also need to face accountability for potentially influencing the outcome of the 2020 presidential election in favor of Joe Biden?

The concealment of Hunter’s tax violations could have swayed the results of past elections, including the 2020 presidential race and subsequent congressional contests.

Hunter’s admissions cast doubts on the integrity of IRS leadership, federal prosecutors, and Attorney General Merrick Garland.

In 2023, the IRS reportedly imposed penalties on more than 18 million individuals for alleged failure to pay or underpayment of federal taxes.

How did the agency overlook Hunter Biden’s tax delinquencies for so long?

Hunter showcases a classic example of tax evasion that went undetected for years.

Between 2014 and 2019, he received over $8 million from questionable foreign sources, triggering various Suspicious Activity Reports from the Treasury Department. Hunter neglected to pay over $1 million in taxes and faced a tax lien of $112,805 for his 2015 tax liabilities.

Despite warnings from the IRS, including a threat to revoke his passport, no criminal charges were initially filed against Hunter.

An official IRS investigation into Hunter’s tax affairs began in 2018, with a dedicated team working on his case by January 2020. However, no charges were lodged by the Justice Department before the statute of limitations expired for his 2014 and 2015 tax infractions.

IRS agents advocated for a search of Joe Biden’s property in Delaware before the 2020 election.

In September 2020, Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf supported an IRS special agent’s belief that adequate evidence existed to justify searching the guest house on Biden’s estate for incriminating evidence.

While there was consensus on probable cause within the team, the decision to hold off on executing the search warrant was influenced by perceived “optics,” according to the IRS agent.

IRS investigators were excluded from a significant Justice Department briefing in October 2020 related to an alleged criminal investigation involving Joe Biden and his family.

A senior FBI official acknowledged that the 2022 elections were used as an excuse to postpone further actions related to Hunter’s tax case during a congressional inquiry last year.

CNBC disclosed in April 2023 that the IRS had concluded their investigation over a year prior, yet no charges had been brought forth.

In a report, the House Ways and Means Committee pointed out a strategy of “Delay, Divulge, and Deny” that prevented prosecution of Hunter for tax crimes during Joe Biden’s tenure as the Vice President.

Advance notice to Hunter Biden’s legal team led to the removal or destruction of potential evidence during investigative searches. Prosecutors instructed investigators to refrain from inquiries related to Joe Biden or the infamous “Big Guy,” according to a congressional report.

In July 2023, the Justice Department proposed a lenient plea agreement for Hunter’s tax misdemeanors, but the deal fell apart after a judge questioned the immunity granted to Hunter for other possible offenses.

The 2020 election outcome was impacted by perceptions of Biden’s honesty and trustworthiness, as evidenced by polling data from that time.

The disclosure of Hunter’s financial dealings in China could have significantly impacted Joe Biden’s image had there been legal repercussions prior to Election Day 2020.

Regardless of the election outcome, there are speculations that Joe Biden might issue a pardon for his son during his final days in office, bringing an end to the ongoing controversies surrounding Hunter Biden.

The Bidens may evade legal consequences, but the agencies involved in protecting them might face lasting damage to their reputation.
