(Deroy Murdock, Headline USA) The family that skates together stays together.
Even Fox News addicts would be stunned by how many Bidens have T-boned into the law and waltzed away from the wreckage. The Biden family is an ongoing crime spree in which the word “consequences” might as well be in Swahili.
New York Post’s Jon Levine recently detailed how the Bidens get away with lawlessness over and over and over again.
● First Son Hunter Biden earned at least $8.3 million in foreign schemes, according to IRS whistleblowers, evidently in exchange for access to his father.
Echoing Watergate’s Saturday Night Massacre, the U.S. Department of Obstruction of Justice told the IRS on May 15 to instruct whistleblower Gary Shapley and his 12-member team to stop investigating Hunter. A concurrent DOJ probe already had devoured five years, as statutes of limitation repeatedly expired.
With Hunter no longer under IRS’s microscope, his lawyers and DOJ agreed that federal prosecutors would request two years of probation once Hunter pled guilty to misdemeanors, not felonies, for not paying $100,000 in taxes on $1.5 million in income in 2017 and ’18. This 6.7% effective tax rate is the Democrats’ new definition of “fair share.”
If tax-evading actor Wesley Snipes were named Wesley Biden, he would have savored such a wrist massage. Instead, he spent nearly three years in prison.
Hunter lied on a gun-purchase application, claiming to be drug-free. He soon illegally possessed a gun while drug-addicted.
Federal prosecutors want Hunter in a diversion program, not prison. Confirming America’s two-track justice system, rapper Kodak Black received a 46-month prison sentence for lying on a gun form.
● First Daughter Ashley Biden was busted for marijuana possession in 1999, while at Tulane University. New Orleans police confirm her arrest, but court documents show no conviction.
Ashley offended again, after a 2002 bottle-shattering fracas outside a Chicago bar. She allegedly tried to obstruct a cop and made “intimidating statements.” So what? Charges were dropped.
● First Brother Frank Biden was a passenger in an Aug. 14, 1999, drunken-driving crash near San Diego.
On Sept. 2, 2002, a court found Frank partially liable for fatally hitting single-father Michael Albano. Frank was told to pay Albano’s daughters $550,000 in damages. With interest, this had grown to $880,000. As the Daily Mail reports, Frank skipped court appearances and paid the Albanos nothing through at least 2020.
On Aug. 20, 2003, Frank was arrested for drunken driving in Fort Lauderdale. His license had been suspended four times. Penalty: Six months’ probation.
That Oct. 27, Frank got nabbed at a Pompano Beach, Florida, Blockbuster with two stolen DVD shoved in his pants. He missed his court hearing and apparently skirted prosecution.
On Nov. 21, 2004, Frank was arrested yet again for driving with a suspended license. Rather than jail, he got three months at the Watershed rehab facility.
● First Niece Caroline, was charged in September 2013 with punching an NYPD officer at her Tribeca apartment after an unpaid-rent dispute went violent. She underwent anger management, and everything vanished without prison time.
In 2017, Caroline charged $110,000 on a stolen credit card. She spent these funds at Manhattan’s elegant Bigelow Pharmacy. This fraud won her a felony conviction. However, she later re-pled to petty larceny, a lower crime, and avoided prison.
While driving sans license in August 2019, Caroline plowed into a tree in Lower Merion Township, Pennsylvania. She “had difficulty focusing,” said arresting officer Jeffrey Seamans. Blood tests verified that Caroline was under the influence of several drugs, including carisoprodol (a prescription muscle relaxant) and lorazepam (a pharmaceutical anti-anxiety aide).
Fifteen months later, she was arraigned on Nov. 4, 2020—one day after the Biden–Trump general election. How convenient.
What did these three crimes cost Caroline? Probation!
Dr. Jill seems to be the only prominent Biden not suspected of, charged with, nor guilty of serious crimes. Like a Mafia matriarch, she smells like a rose, and she ain’t seen nuttin.’
