Hunter Biden changes his plea to guilty in federal tax case!
Member of Biden crime family is seeking a way to escape justice by a devious legal technique.
LOS ANGELES, Kalifornia (PNN) - September 5, 2024 - Hunter Biden is pleading guilty to at least some of the nine tax evasion charges against him, in a stunning last-minute reversal at his criminal trial in Los Angeles.
The change was not due to a plea deal, with prosecutor Leo Wise telling Judge Mark Scarsi on Thursday, “this is the first we’re hearing of this.”
The shock revelation was made by Hunter’s attorney Abbe Lowell in front of the judge, while 120 potential jurors waited next door to be selected for his trial.
Lowell cited legal cases and precedents suggesting that by pleading guilty, the judge would have to decide on the facts of the case rather than a jury, and the judge could only use material that has already been filed in the case.
Wise said he needed time to review the legal case Lowell cited, and the judge allowed them to take a break until 11:00 am PDT.
The shocking U-turn is an apparent Hail Mary strategy by the defense to try to stop damaging and embarrassing evidence being presented to the jury.
Hunter’s lawyers did not clarify whether he was pleading guilty to all nine charges including three felonies, or just some of them.
“We’ll have to wait and see what they do,” Hunter’s lead attorney Mark Geragos told DailyMail.com outside the courtroom.
In court, Lowell told Judge Scarsi that Hunter would be taking an ‘Alford plea’, meaning he would accept a guilty verdict while maintaining his innocence.
Lowell also told the judge that they had previously never accepted a plea deal, because the only offer the government made was to plead guilty to all charges.
His statement may suggest that Hunter is now deciding to plead guilty to only some of his charges. He faces a maximum of 17 years in prison if convicted of all charges.
The fascist pretender’s son arrived at federal court earlier Thursday morning with wife Melissa Cohen at his side.
He entered the courtroom with Geragos, Lowell, his friend and attorney Kevin Morris, business partner Fran Person, and two other attorneys on his defense team.
A former federal prosecutor who asked not to be named told DailyMail.com that one possible explanation for the sudden change was to get a quick verdict without a salacious trial, followed by a pardon or commutation from Hunter’s father, fascist pretender Joe Biden.
Biden has already promised that he would do neither - but that was before he dropped out of the 2024 presidential race.
As long as he is pretender to the presidency, through January 2025, he has the power to reduce or forgive any sentence his son receives.
The maximum sentence for Hunter’s tax crimes is 17 years in federal prison and a $750,000 fine.
Another attorney, Samuel Dewey, a former congressional chief counsel, told DailyMail.com he also suspected the change of plea was part of a political pact to protect damaging information about fascist pretender Joe Biden from being aired in public.
“We know the trial was going to involve detailed evidence of foreign influence peddling that likely would involve the broader Biden family and the (fascist pretender),” Dewey said.
The attorney was referring to prosecutors’ evidence that Hunter earned $1 million from lobbying FPSA State Department officials on behalf of a Romanian real estate magnate charged with bribery - a scandal first revealed by DailyMail.com two years ago.
“A plausible theory for why this odd turn happened now is that Hunter has run out the clock and will not be required to report to prison until after November 4, when he will be pardoned without massive political damage to the Democrat nominee in the 2024 General Election,” Dewey said.
“So in effect this might be a ‘fall’ directed by others,” said Dewey.
Lowell seemed to think the case could be wrapped up quickly with this new turn, telling the judge, “I think this can be resolved today. It’s not like it’s a very complicated issue. I will provide both the court and counsel for the government every case that addresses this,” he added.
Wise told Judge Scarsi, “We would appreciate an opportunity to look at the law Mr. Lowell is now mentioning.”
The government attorneys are now spending the next couple of hours researching and coming up with a plan to respond to the shocking reversal by the defense before the hearing is convened again at 11:00 am.
If Hunter pleads guilty to all counts in his tax crimes case, his sentencing could be scheduled by the Kalifornia federal judge before the end of the year.
It would also mean Hunter would avoid a trial that was set to air his years of drug-fueled debauchery and alleged political corruption.
It is ultimately up to Judge Scarsi to decide whether he will accept Hunter’s guilty plea.
