Special Counsel David Weiss appears to have finally made the long-awaited case exposing years of concealment and political corruption. No, it is not the case against Hunter Biden. The allegations of tax fraud in California are obvious and unavoidable. Weiss just made the case against the Justice Department and himself in protecting Hunter Biden from the most damaging charges of being an unregistered foreign agent. In a new filing, Weiss released evidence on Hunter seeking money to advance the interests of a Romanian on United States policy.
I have previously testified on the Foreign Agents Registration Act and have previously written about the disturbing disconnect in the treatment of the President’s son as opposed to figures like Paul Manafort.
The charge was always one of the greatest fears of the White House. If Hunter Biden was a foreign agent, it would magnify the influence peddling scandal and further link his conduct to work of his father as vice president and later president.
What was previously known about millions received from China, Russia, and other countries made such a charge obvious. In the past, the Justice Department has used the charge early and often in high-profile cases to pressure defendants and force cooperation or plea agreements. During the Trump Administration, an official could not go to Epcot without drawing a FARA charge from DOJ.

In testimony from Devon Archer, a business associate of Hunter Biden, we learned that Burisma executives made the removal of Shokin a top priority and raised it with Hunter. He described how the need to neutralize Shokin was raised with Hunter and how “a call to Washington” was made in response. While Archer also said that “the narrative spun to me was that Shokin was under control,” he and others also heard concerns over Shokin and the risks of the investigation.
Other transactions directly requested intervention on matters being addressed by the Obama-Biden Administration.
So, now, the Justice Department is citing some of these dealings to show a conscious and premeditated effort to shake down foreigners to influence U.S. policy. Weiss now maintains that “The defendant did receive compensation from a foreign principal to attempt to influence U.S. policy and public opinion, as alleged in the indictment, and this evidence is relevant.”
They have made more than the case against Hunter Biden. They have made a conclusive and overwhelming case against themselves in slow walking and minimizing charges against the President’s son.
Here is the filing: gov.uscourts.cacd.907805.181.0
Commentary:
Hunter was never supposed to face FARA charges because it would lead back to Joe Biden. It would open a can of worms for every politician in DC who has a family member doing work for a foreign company or country.
This was a conscious and premeditated effort to shake down foreigners to influence U.S. policy by the Biden family....Treasonous
DOJ may be spending decades, if at all, untangling that mess.
Simply the Biden administration attempted to use Soviet style politics using Merrick Garland as the prosecutor to protect their own and persecute their political enemies.
It has slowly been falling apart and may soon bring down their house of cards.
If Hunter Biden is convicted of FARA violations, tax cheating, along with his gun conviction Joe Biden will find it difficult to pardon his son especially against public opinion.
