Joe Biden was in a very, very good mood on Wednesday morning. He has reportedly been really upset about the fate of his son, Hunter.

It’s been an upsetting time for Joe.

Forget the fact that he was probably clearing checks from Hunter and that there are actual emails on Hunter’s computer to people about how he was paying his dad’s bills, etc.

Now that Hunter Biden has reached a plea deal with the Feds to resolve his tax issues and gun charge, the really important thing is that Joe Biden can now sleep better in the late afternoon when he’s ready for his afternoon nap, which goes directly into his nighttime sleep, which goes directly into his morning siesta.

The plea deal for Hunter is a slap on the wrist and everybody knows it.

According to The Wall Street Journal:

If approved by a judge, the plea agreement between the Justice Department and Hunter Biden will end a long-running criminal probe into President Biden’s only surviving son. … The meandering inquiry took five years over two administrations, and came with many challenges, including disagreements among investigators over how to proceed. By mid-2022, investigators believed there was enough evidence to charge Hunter Biden, but prosecutors held off on a decision for months while they reviewed defense evidence. Among other issues, prosecutors struggled with certain facts, including whether their target’s drug addiction would present a defense against a potential criminal tax case.

Latest Releases:

The big questions are if the other investigations into Hunter Biden will continue and why this one took so long to happen. There is a significant possibility that investigators did not actually want to charge Hunter Biden right before the midterm elections. And so they waited until right after the midterm elections in 2023, a dead year with no serious elections to be held.

The Journal noted:

In a charged meeting in October, federal prosecutors were informed of investigators’ “longstanding concerns” about what they described as irregularities in the handling of the Justice Department’s investigation, according to a lawyer for an IRS supervisor who in April expressed concern to lawmakers about political interference in the probe. The agent said that after airing his concerns, he and his investigative team were “no longer invited to any further prosecutorial team calls and meetings on the case, effectively excluding them from the case.”

There have been long-standing accusations that, basically, prosecutors were giving Hunter Biden special treatment, that at every turn they were going out of their way in order to give him the strongest possible defense.

But the real story here is that Joe Biden and the White House are quite relieved, according to POLITICO, which noted, “The president himself privately told confidants he was proud of his son for taking responsibility for his actions.”

Oh, is that what happened here? Hunter Biden took responsibility for his actions? He won’t even take responsibility for his own child. He reportedly came to a settlement yesterday in which he lowered the amount of child support he’s providing to his child he has not acknowledged for four years.

I love that Joe Biden says Hunter’s a responsible citizen as Hunter makes his paintings and sells them in what looks like a money laundering scam to people for $7,500 a print and $500,000 for a painting.

“Several people close to the elder Biden portrayed him as having been deeply anxious for months about his son’s legal fortunes and frustrated at the slow pace of the investigation,” POLITICO reported. “Biden had repeatedly barked to confidants that he could not understand why his son was being made to twist in the wind for five years, concerned the legal limbo could create a stress that would trigger his son’s demons, according to those people in the inner circle, who spoke about private matters on condition of anonymity.”

The way this is being played by the media this morning is: Joe Biden. Wow. What a great dad.

Seriously?

What exactly is Hunter’s financial relationship with Joe? Where exactly is Joe’s stream of income coming from? In fact, why is the entire Biden family making bank off Joe’s name? Why was Hunter Biden on the board of Burisma knowing nothing about Ukraine or natural gas? What is that? Where is all this money coming from and how is it flowing? Why are there so many shell companies?

No, the real story for the media is that Joe Biden feels better. And if the old man feels better, that’s all we could really ask for. Sure, Hunter got a sweetheart deal, but shouldn’t he get a sweetheart deal so the old man feels a little bit better?

Joe Biden, the world’s greatest dad, has spent years saying that Hunter did nothing wrong.

Here is the thing: If you were Hunter, if you were charged for the same crimes that Joe Biden’s son was charged with, Joe Biden would throw the book at you.

Ep. 1752 - The Schiff Hits The Fan

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) is censured by the House of Representatives for his consistently false statements about the Trump-Russia collusion hoax; former special counsel John Durham testifies before Congress about his report exploding coordination between the FBI, Hillary Clinton campaign, and White House; and we discuss all the updates in the missing Titanic submersible.

LISTEN NOW

Not long ago, Joe Biden said it was a priority for his administration to enforce gun laws to ensure that background checks were performed on every gun purchase. And if you lied on your forms, you should go to jail.

But not Hunter.

Joe Biden is big on paying taxes, correct? He stated repeatedly: “Pay your fair share. Pay your fair share. Pay your fair share.” You don’t want those rich people cheating on their taxes by paying capital gains tax in accordance with the law. That would be really bad.

Hunter Biden can skip out on his taxes to the tune of roughly $1.2 million, and then he can have all his friends pay the back taxes — and you know what?

It’s totally fine with Joe Biden.

Joe Biden is very relieved because Hunter is fine now. Everything is all better.
