United States: A resounding blow has been dealt to the endeavor of Hunter Biden to elude justice, as a federal judge in California decisively dismissed his attempt to discard the litany of tax charges brought against him, thereby permitting the legal proceedings to proceed unabated.
This ruling accentuates the gravity of the accusations directed at the younger Biden, affirming his confrontation with a formidable array of three felony charges and six misdemeanors pertaining to audacious tax evasion, deceitful tax filings, and a deliberate neglect to fulfil his tax responsibilities spanning the years 2016 to 2019.
Despite his persistent assertions of innocence, Biden’s legal stratagems have met with little success. His desperate endeavour to cloak himself in the guise of political persecution was summarily disregarded by the court, with Judge Mark Scarsi categorically asserting that Biden’s defense failed to substantiate its allegations of political prejudice, highlighting the conspicuous absence of any credible evidence to bolster such assertions.
It is indicative of the weakness of Biden’s defense that it heavily relied on selectively chosen excerpts from online sources and social media diatribes, failing to proffer any compelling evidence in his favor. Judge Scarsi rightly censured this feeble effort, emphasizing that such hearsay-laden references carry no weight in a court of law.
Moreover, Biden’s unfounded allegations of discriminatory and vindictive prosecution were promptly dismantled by the judge, who discerned no validity in his assertions of prejudicial treatment. The legal tools he previously had and his feeble arguments all now seem like fruitless efforts, with him being stripped down to just himself there with no more his pretend innocence, and all that’s left is the evidence facing him with its horrified eyes warning him of what’s coming.
The seriousness of the problem cannot be over-emphasized as well. Facing probable 17 years of imprisonment in the future and a shocking 42 in case of being found guilty on all counts, he can’t ignore the enormousness of the situation he is in now. Despite appearing free to stretch out his innocence claim as it finds impeachment for firearm violations in Delaware piling up, Biden and his successors, recurring conviction of innocence remains hollow in the face of diverse legal prosecution.
During this crisis, the Biden administration will be confronted with the provocative indictment of the President’s own son into the faction of corruption. The citizenry will then be led to ponder the depths of moral deterioration that have gradually been invading the upper tiers of leadership. Fact is, the anchorages of justice do not discriminate and generously extend privileges to anyone, including the child of the incumbent President.
