Prosecutors in Hunter Biden’s upcoming tax trial referred to the first son as a lobbyist in their indictment. Was it just a biography reference or a signal of fresh legal jeopardy?
Here is what we know.
Biden originally worked as a lobbyist for a brief period in between 2001 and 2008, stopping before his father ran for president. But Biden continued to earn lucrative monies throughout his later business career as he partnered with foreign partners that sought to influence U.S. policy.
This work has potentially opened him up to more legal jeopardy as the Justice Department reportedly considers whether he violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) — the same law that brought down former Donald Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort.
“Defendant ROBERT HUNTER BIDEN (hereafter 'the Defendant') was a Georgetown- and Yale-educated lawyer, lobbyist, consultant, and businessperson and, beginning in April 2018, a resident of Los Angeles, California,” the introduction to Biden’s indictment in the Central District of California reads.

For example, Hunter Biden helped the U.S. law firm that employed him secure a lucrative retainer with Burisma Holdings in 2014. That firm — Boies Schiller Flexner — then proceeded to draft a 58-page plan to try to extricate the controversial energy company from an ongoing criminal investigation in Ukraine that relied heavily on trying to influence his father’s administration in Washington, according to one piece of evidence gathered by the FBI in the fraud investigation, Just the News reported earlier this month.

The growing pile of evidence appears to contradict testimony Biden provided directly to the House of Representatives, which is conducting an impeachment inquiry into his father. Hunter Biden told congressional investigators that Burisma retained Democratic Party-connected Blue Star Strategies in part to do work related to Zlochevsky’s visa precisely because he was “not willing to provide” that service himself.

House Republicans have specifically accused Hunter Biden of lying to Congress regarding the visa issue. The three Chairmen leading the impeachment inquiry filed a criminal referral to the Justice Department for the first son earlier this month after making the accusations.

The author Steven Richards opens a new can of worms in the Hunter Biden saga.
Meanwhile, Democrat Beo-Marxsts want us to forget Hunter and focus our attention on the bogus Soviet style created out of thin air 34 felonies.
Will the Weiss prosecution be allowed to use the "Laptop From Hell", and/or bring up “The Big Guy” and “Ten percent” during the trial? I'd bet. that the judge won't allow it...having received instructions from his/her superiors in DC not to allow it.
