Report: Leaked docs show Hunter Biden was going to walk free until this testimony

First Son Hunter Biden is facing charges of tax crimes and of lying on an application to buy a gun.

Hunter’s legal team negotiated a “sweetheart” plea deal criticized for its leniency on the president’s son, only to watch Hunter plead not guilty to the tax charges in July.

But Hunter once came very, very close to dodging the charges entirely, according to correspondence obtained by The New York Times. Lead prosecutor David Weiss was reportedly about to drop the charges earlier this year… until the testimony from the two I.R.S. whistleblowers.

Weiss’s team was corresponding with Hunter’s in order to negotiate the plea deal, and the Times claims to have obtained more than 200 pages of their correspondence, with shocking revelations about the shifting negotiations between Hunter Biden and David Weiss.

The outlet reported —

Earlier this year, The Times found, Mr. Weiss appeared willing to forgo any prosecution of Mr. Biden at all, and his office came close to agreeing to end the investigation without requiring a guilty plea on any charges. But the correspondence reveals that his position, relayed through his staff, changed in the spring, around the time a pair of I.R.S. officials on the case accused the Justice Department of hamstringing the investigation. Mr. Weiss suddenly demanded that Mr. Biden plead guilty to committing tax offenses.

Weiss remains legally barred from discussing an open case.

However, the I.R.S. agents themselves have claimed credit for the charges against Hunter Biden.

“It appears that if it weren’t for the courageous actions of these whistle-blowers, who had nothing to gain and everything to lose, Hunter Biden would never have been charged at all,” one I.R.S. agent’s lawyers has said in a statement to the Times. The I.R.S. agent’s lawyers concluded the statement by criticizing the plea deal as too lenient.

In last month’s testimony before Congress, I.R.S supervisor Gary Shapley accused his agency of “slow-walking investigative steps” into Hunter as far back as 2020.

Even Hunter’s legal team has blamed the I.R.S. agents for affecting the deal.

“While Mr. Biden’s legal team agrees that the I.R.S. agents affected the deal, his lawyers have contended to the Justice Department that by disclosing details about the investigation to Congress, they broke the law and should be prosecuted,” the Times reported.

Weiss has overseen the case since 2018, first as a U.S. attorney and then as a special counsel.

Now, Hunter Biden is now facing an uncertain future, with any plea deal bound to look very different. One of Hunter’s defense attorneys quit Tuesday, and Weiss is now serving as special counsel, with more power than before.
