If I lied to obtain a firearm and dumped it near a school I'd be in jail.
Yeah, but you're not a reichpublican.
@@mimcduffee86You were probably vibrating for a week to use that!
Kodak did. Oh, but he is black and not related to a corrupt resident. My mistake.
No you would not.
From what I understand, it involves issues with a gun, unpaid taxes, and more. It's all quite complex.
LUCY ROSE CARTER specializes in financial planning, asset protection, and tax strategies. She might be able to help us minimize legal and tax-related headaches.
Yes, I've been working with LUCY ROSE CARTER for a while now. She’s helped me optimize my financial strategies and minimize tax liabilities. It's been a positive experience.
That's interesting. I have a substantial portfolio, and the thought of legal issues affecting my finances is concerning. How can I get in touch with LUCY ROSE CARTER ?
Lucy offers financial guidance to clients with a range of portfolios. It might be worth reaching out to her for a consultation to see how she can help.

60 million dollars zero taxes paid 23 shell companies to nine family members must be nice to make up the rules as you go
BINGO!!
So the question now becomes ;
Why is the so called " free press" in the
" greatest country on planet earth" playing along in that scheme?
Dad thinks he makes a good example for his son. Dictators make the rules...
Everything works until the big guy gets his 10%.
If it was Donald Jr. The Left wing media would have 24/7 discussion about it.
Agree. Remember when they questioned Trumps health during his presidency? And now with Biden they dont care.
Ok
This is being reported 24/7 as well, they have a whole channel live all day discussing this & impeachment of the president on youtube as well.
Why would they when his father is already in the spotlight
You mean like the right wing media is doing with Hunter Biden? 😮
Hunter without any knowledge in oil business for sure would be part of board of directors of Burisma without his father’s help. Just in 🤡 world
Right? Its almost as bad as installing your kids into white house positions despite them having zero qualifications.
@@mimcduffee86Absolutely, your family shouldn’t be part of government you are leading. That is my opinion, of course.
@@mimcduffee86no, it’s actually way worse because the president can appoint whoever he wants. What Biden did is illegal.
@@mimcduffee86its all bad, Left or Right. Its also bad when they hire leaders based on the skin color, gender, and sexual preference.
The clown world is standard capitalism. The main reason you get hired to a board is that you have connections.
It’s been going on for years. When does he and those involved get real jail time?
Probably when they get a conviction for a crime with a minimum sentence of jail time.
Most likely never
@@My_Fair_Lady Deflection ?
Hopefully after trump is in jail
Never😂😂
Do everyday individuals get to put off gun and tax evasion charges in the same fashion as hunter in the US?
Answer is .......No
Everybody is more concerned about his bribery scandals than some dumb gun charge
He should do time for all of it. Everyone involved in making it happen and the coverups should do jail time too.
You should tell the press about the bribery scandals instead of keeping that information in a RUclips comment!
@@ericeandcoJail time for what? Please share.
@@spacetoast7783they know about it but the White House told them to deny it in a memo🤷🏾♂️
@@megadog5743 Who knows about what?
An associate paid 1.9 million? Hey WSJ! Who paid it? Yall need to ask more questions. Im an idiot and i can do better than you.
They have learned to not ask questions that could incriminate reichpublicans.
I had an unpaid tax liability of 70,000 for the year 2008. The IRS did not let the statute of limitations expire. They confiscated my home instead.
Sure, buddy. That totally happened.
@@David-wc5zlit happens to a lot of Americans. I'm guessing, you David live in mom mom's basement? And smoke pot and live off the government like mom mom.
This video really down plays the facts
When they call Federal Tax Evasion "unpaid taxes" it is does tell you a lot about where they stand on the issue. As if merely not paying taxes is the same as purposely lying on your taxes by trying to write off $100k you spent on a sex club membership and prostitutes.
You can tell someone's political leanings on the matter when they describe someone who committed fraud by attempting to write off $100k spent on a sex club and prostitutes as merely being "unpaid taxes".
Who cares. These folks don’t live in your world. They don’t even know or care about your existence
Ultimately that’s what it is
So what does it say about Trump when he grossly overestimated the value of his properties in order to get favorable loans?
'Wall Street' gives it away
What did Trump call the hush money he paid to Stormy 🤔 🤣
Why no cameras in court?
I know right! Why no cameras? Smh
Hunter's not worried about his international crimes, illegal drugs and prostitution but he wants to legally own a gun. 😂
You people are always crying the second amendment so why not? So sick of hearing about hunter biden. If he committed the crime Then he absolutely should be found guilty. Just like trump should with ninety one indictments.
Ask all the celebrities and musicians / rappers how they didn't get charged for tax evasion. Oh wait, they all Did get charged, And served jail time - Wesley Snipes, The Situation, JaRule, Sophia Loren, Chuck Berry, Leona Helmsley, Pete Rose, and many others.
Let's ask all of the businessmen and politicians that same question. You'll get a very different answer, I think.
What about the Coke in the Whitehouse?
What about it?
@@spacetoast7783 your lost my good man. Don’t know nuffin bout it huh?
@@michaelangelo7511 Nope, your feelings exist only inside your own head. Everybody else has moved on from that nothingburger.
@@gaynormca8992 I'm sorry you're so upset by America.
@@spacetoast7783 Aaarrgghh, didn’t see I’d replied to you when I meant to reply to Michael-dumb-angelo. Have now deleted.
Headline the 2 charges that aren't about the nepotism, bags of cash from Russian oligarchs, Chinese businesses, Ukraine, Iran paying him for access to his father who was VP of the USA.
Hunter was kicked out of the military for testing positive for drugs in 2014. He reported $1.5M income on his 2017 taxes. How does that happen? He must have obtained a really good job.
from the leaked text messages between him and his father, it is so apparent joe sees him as a disappointment and just put the bare minimum in their interactions
Im surprised the Wall St Journal is even allowed to publish this
Help Ukraine fix corruption🤔🤫🤣🤯
😂😂😂😂😂
How can someone acquire a weapon while high on meth and convince a judge to let them go with a promise that they won't do it again? Are they meth buddies?
Can someone acquire a billion dollars in Saudi investments and convice the US Government to his son in law nuclear secrets.
He was high on meth? Where are you reading this?
@@BrobraKai The Supreme Court doesn't agree with you.
@spacetoast7783 That was one of the original charges.
@@kellyhoward5893 Weird, I can't find any articles on that. Can you point me to one?
you forgot bag man in the beginning description. The only way to stay out of jail is for your dad to keep being president.
Did Hunter pay taxes on his "art" sales?
Is it me or are the reporters sounding overtly sympathetic here? I mean if it were someone else, this piece would be much more shrill/ opinionated
Why nothing about selling influence to the Chinese? That is extremely disconcerting
They hope it’s going to go away, I don’t think so. Can’t wait for the subpoenas to the Biden family’s banks to provide their bank accounts plus all of the bank accounts of the companies used to funnel the bribes. Should be explosive 💥🧨💥
Wsj 😂
Hunter isn't a headache to Biden, after all, Hunter is the smartest man he knows. Now I can understand what he meant when Joe said that. I wonder if he thinks that now. 😂😂😂
Shh... I'm watching Trump sweat in his trial.
You can still be smart and have terrible judgment.
prison for treason

What a joke a special counsel is suppose to be not from the government.
Send Biden & his son to lifetime jail!
Everything hunter does goes up in smoke...in his pipe😂😂😂😂
Good morning🙏
Even if Hunter gets convicted, isn"t daddy just going to pardon him?
Bidens have proven they're above the law, going against whet he keeps saying.
Nothing but scumbags...
Why would he suddenly get involved in his son's issues? It's such a huge, unprecedented abuse of his office.
LEAVE HIM ALONE , THIS IS NOT JOE BIDEN. ,.,
@@marywinslow5808I don’t seem to remember you saying that when democrats went after Trumps kids.
@@davidmhale521 When were Trump's kids charged with crimes? When were Trump's kids cited as justification for an impeachment inquiry?
We all know there are more presidential candidates than two, right? It doesn’t just have to be the ones with criminal implications hovering about?
What more ? Corruption…. Dare to say ….
Can you point to the corruption? Like some bribes or threats?
DELAY DELAY DELAY ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
If that one judge would of sold out like the others we wouldn't know anything
Who's paying for hunter's legal fees
I find it hilarious that the democrats answer to the big bad orange man was the Biden crime family. 🤣
What office does Hunter Biden hold?
@spacetoast7783 the same office Trump does? The office of public scrutiny? You scream for "justice and accountability" right? Does this apply to everyone or just people you don't like?
What are we even talking about?
this guy wont see a day in jail, meanwhile some people are doing a decade + for the same charges under his father's 90s criminal bill .. time to leave this place for somewhere where corruption suits my family also .
How many people struck down with grief and plagued by drug and alcohol addiction get richer and more politically connected?
Doesn't it usually work the other way around?
Don't peoples careers and finances usually suffer as a result of grief and drug addiction?
Maybe the lesson is that MORE PEOPLE should do drugs... if it help make you so successful!?
Oh, Hunter... 🤦
Hunter is my role model.
Somebody came!
@@spacetoast7783Oh dear
WSJ 😃
what about the laptop?
Now you want to see his pictures. Wow! Not laptop hard drive.
This guy will have no legal "problems".

Yeah well, Trump said he used poor judgment in lot of things he did too, but that ain't cutting no f****** mustard with him is it
Saint compared to Jared
They didt even metion his worst crimes. Dont mess with children.
What were those crimes?
@@spacetoast7783His disowned daughter, perhaps …
@@gaynormca8992 What is the name of Hunter's sixth child and what did he do to her?
@@spacetoast7783 DIY do your own research! If you don’t know about it after it being all over the Press and the story finally being conceded by Bozo Joe then you must be living in mom’s basement. You’re all over the place - you come back to commenters with ridiculous questions as opposed to joining the grown ups in fair and intelligent discussion. It isn’t for us to answer, it’s for YOU to prove us wrong.
Comrade @@gaynormca8992... If you had done any research, you could have told me just ONE thing you're upset about. Instead, you're just telling me that your ideology doesn't need facts.
How can I prove your claim wrong when you haven't even made a claim?
Is he getting drug tested
Metanoia church, what's it mean?
Americans politicians..
How is Joe so confused🤷🤔if this son were as smart as dad thinks; would he continue to do so many really stupid things?!! I guess he is as confused as dad is🤷🤔maybe they are both "on or impaired by dope"! Maybe the "big guy" is teaching his son by example🤷
Crooked family. They will find away to get him off. Two tier justice system.
Hunter = Liar!
Maybe!
A kid could hsve gotten the gun and shot someone and he'd still get off
WSJ you are so much BS. 😂

More need to understand what Amazon did with *APL77X* a few words on that pls?
Let's go Brandon!!
a gun , a video , were on Epstein Island and some superstars
I did not know *APL77X* is actually the real thing I thought people were crazy lol
#bidenomicrackheads
Wow,they send men to sleep in same room as other Men and think it isn’t a homosexual act.Judges are not concerned that Men are not homosexual rather they are concerned if Men were Jailed individually it would be apparent in their Social circles they themselves by supporting the Bible they in fact are and have already unfriended God.Judges make their own choices in life and since the Bible claims the devil is real and they support the Bible’s continuance on Earth they have done nothing short of unfriending God.(c) Dino Sherman
Those who after months still have no idea about *APL77X* you know that its not the point of life to waste time until you die?
Strongest momentum in *APL77X* with this Amazon will be unstoppable in all countries
I’m not worried about Hunter
At least he didn’t rip off charities
Or take 2 billion from the Saudi’s for arms deal
Gun charges , unpaid taxes this is a matter for the State he lives in to deal with not Congress he is a private citizen not a politician
The alleged unpaid taxes are federal, but yeah, Congress should let this follow the standard process.
😅😂 seriously?
Lying on a 4473 form is a federal crime not a state crime? And as for "unpaid taxes", he didn't merely not pay taxes. He purposely lied on his FEDERAL taxes by trying to write off $100k he paid for a sex club membership and prostitutes. This is what the IRS says about purposely lying in order to get out of paying taxes, sometimes called Federal Tax Evasion:
I.R.C. § 7201 - ATTEMPT TO EVADE OR DEFEAT TAX
Any person who willfully attempts in any manner to evade or defeat any tax
imposed by this title or the payment thereof shall, in addition to other penalties
provided by law, be guilty of a felony and, upon conviction thereof, shall be fined*
not more than $100,000 ($500,000 in the case of a corporation), or imprisoned not
more than 5 years, or both, together with the costs of prosecution.

@@spacetoast7783Oh dear …
Since when do republicans care so much about someone's ability to possess a gun?
Exactly, he helped their cause. Made it so you can be addicted and get a gun now.
Hunter clearly has low moral values but his father is not responsible for that
Like father like son. Ring any bells 🔔
Some of you might feel how I am like being happy first time now that *APL77X* is a thing
This is not some Jim Carry joke, so don't tell me it's alright 5:39, but reply if you can or want, but me is not somebody backed with providing some charity or wishing to find more of that sound. You know this car Cobra, which was in some movie. 4:25 wish you had a new building as your Christmas inheritance present in the first studies semester, but not this. 3:14 Looks like R.I.T.A. || or R.I.T.A.|| investigation and your choice is this invisible 12 tons space letter in the forest of Urgent Boarding Xenothreat, because I should do this for my own personal views if i'm not managed by a record company.
To US fathers and mothers, you can evaluate a person by how he teaches his son or how his son learns from him.
You can also evaluate a person on how they love their mother/father/son/daughter even when they cause headaches and make terrible choices.
Watching Trump sweating in his trial is a lot more fun.
Ok
That's pretty pathetic. Considering he did not commit a crime. If you have any assets they can come after you if they don't like you. Yeah that is how communisem works.
