Tucker Carlson Weighs In On Hunter Biden’s ‘Sweetheart Deal’; Legal Experts Call Hunter’s Plea Deal a ‘Joke’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Nicole Silverio. Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson weighed in on Hunter Biden’s “sweetheart deal” with Trump-appointed prosecutor David Weiss during Tuesday’s broadcast of “Tucker on Twitter.”

Biden agreed to plead guilty to charges of illegally purchasing a gun while under the influence of drugs and for failing to pay his taxes in 2017 and 2018. Carlson said Weiss prosecuted the younger Biden to make the 37-count indictment against former President Donald Trump appear fair and non-political.

“Donald Trump had an idea: ‘They’ll hit Hunter with something small to make their strike on me look fair.’ Trump wrote that about two weeks ago,” Carlson said. “And it turned out those were prescient words. This morning, Hunter Biden pleaded guilty to pretty much nothing. Biden pled to two misdemeanor tax evasion charges and then entered a diversion on a federal gun charge. That’s it. As far as Merrick Garland’s Justice Department is concerned, Hunter Biden is done. There was no pre-dawn raid carried live simultaneously on CNN. There was no perp walk, no handcuffs, no press conference.”

“Above all, there was no felony. Hunter Biden, who broke federal gun laws, can still carry a gun. It’s like it all never happened,” he continued.

Legal Experts Call Hunter Biden Plea Deal a ‘Joke’

By Arjun Singh. Legal experts criticized the plea deal announced between the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Hunter Biden on Tuesday, with some calling it a “joke” and a “sweetheart deal.”

Hunter Biden, who has been under investigation for over five years by the DOJ, agreed to plead guilty to two counts of willful failure to pay federal income tax, and one count of possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance, which is a felony. The felony charge may be dismissed if Biden complies with certain conditions. Legal experts have said the charges are too lenient and suggest a “sweetheart deal” was made to avoid prison time.

“[I]t will be like ticketing the get-away driver after a bank hold up,” tweeted Jonathan Turley, a law professor at George Washington University and a national security defense attorney. “It is called controlled demolition: the implosion of a scandal to limit any blast effect on nearby structures or individuals…without causing collateral damage to the political and media establishment,” he added.

Hunter’s father, President Joe Biden, is running for reelection in 2024, and his political allies have frequently criticized former President Donald Trump for his active indictments by prosecutors in New York and Florida. Trump and Republicans, by contrast, have attempted to tie Hunter Biden’s tumultuous personal life and alleged criminal history to Joe Biden.

Trump on Allegedly Stating That He Showed Classified Doc to Others: ‘There Was No Document’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump said during an interview on Monday that he did not show classified documents to individuals without security clearances despite his claim on an alleged audio tape that he did.

Trump, who was charged earlier this month with 37 felonies in the federal investigation into his handling of classified national defense information, is accused of showing classified material to a writer who was interviewing the former president. . .

Fox News anchor Bret Baier brought up that portion of the indictment — which allegedly detailed a plan of attack against Iran — during his interview with Trump and asked if the former president remembered doing that.

“It wasn’t a document,” Trump said. “I had lots of paper. I had copies of newspaper articles. I had copies of magazines.”

Baier responded, “This is specifically a quote, you’re quoted on the recording saying the document was ‘secret,’ adding that you could have declassified it while you were president, but, quote, ‘Now I can’t, you know, this is still secret, highly confidential.’ And the indictment cites the recording and the testimony from people in the room saying you showed it to people there that day.” (Read more from “Trump on Allegedly Stating That He Showed Classified Doc to Others: ‘There Was No Document’” HERE)

Promise Keepers ‘Rejected by Christian School Over Biblical Marriage’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A report reveals that Promise Keepers, the organization that calls on men to live biblical lives, has been rejected by a Christian college because of its position on marriage.

A statement from a conference booking organization, Jones Literary, reveals the men’s group is holding a series of events this year across America, and one was to be at Belmont University in Nashville.

But the school, which claims to be “Christian,” abruptly canceled the event citing a “conflict in values.” . . .

The problem apparently erupted when the organization offered guidance to men on how to respond to the current gender ideology being pushed by the Joe Biden administration, schools, unions and other extreme leftists.

It bluntly said, “We will not stand on the sidelines and remain quiet. As fathers, husbands, grandfathers, and young men—we see the dangers of gender ideology and the harm it causes. At Promise Keepers, we affirm that God made human beings in His image to reflect Him. He created male and female with equal worth and dignity—and there was no mistake in that design. (Genesis 1:27; Mark 10:6).” (Read more from “Promise Keepers ‘Rejected by Christian School Over Biblical Marriage’” HERE)

De-Transitioned Individual Shares Her Story: ‘I Kind of Feel a Little Bit Mutilated and Like an Experiment Gone Wrong’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Jasmine, who previously underwent life-altering gender transition measures, still suffers lingering consequences.

According to the Telegraph, she considers the pursuit of gender transition to be a “mistake” but adds that “because I was a child, I also think that part of the onus is on the various professionals that treated me.”

At the age of only 15, she was referred by a transgender charity to the Gender identity Development Service clinic for kids and young people at London’s Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, according to the outlet. At age 17, GIDS patients were shifted to adult services where they could get gender-reassignment surgery, the outlet noted. Jasmine said during an appointment at the adult clinic she was referred to be prescribed cross-sex hormones and added to a waiting list for breast removal.

Jasmine, who has shared her story as part of a documentary, according to the outlet, said that she took testosterone for more than one year, causing “irreversible” bodily changes — she needs to shave her face daily and her voice is “significantly lower than it was before.”

“I don’t really know what it’s like to have the body of an adult,” she said, according to the Telegraph. “I don’t really know how it’s affected my fertility or my internal health.” (Read more from “De-Transitioned Individual Shares Her Story: ‘I Kind of Feel a Little Bit Mutilated and Like an Experiment Gone Wrong’” HERE)

Former President Donald Trump, a Republican presidential candidate, slammed the plea deal announced for Hunter Biden on Tuesday, calling it a “massive coverup” and election interference. . .

As part of his plea deal, Biden, 53, will plead guilty to willful failure to pay federal income tax — most likely on his foreign earnings — and will enter a “pretrial diversion program” regarding his gun crime, indicating that he will face no jail time.

Initial Trial Date Set in Federal Documents Case Against Donald Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump is slated to face an August trial in the federal case accusing him of hoarding national security documents, though it is highly unlikely the initial schedule will hold.

The 45th president pleaded not guilty on June 13 to a 37-count indictment accusing him of keeping a trove of top secret papers at his Mar-a-Lago resort after he’d left office, and then lying about it to federal investigators.

Florida federal Judge Aileen Cannon –– who was appointed to the bench by Trump in 2020 –– set an Aug. 14 trial date on Tuesday, though that start date will likely be pushed back due to expected pre-trial litigation from Trump’s camp as well as the complexity of the case.

According to Cannon’s schedule, all pre-trial motions in the case are due July 24, with the next hearing set for Aug. 8.

The feds say Trump had national security documents that weren’t declassified at his Palm Beach, Fla., estate, and the criminal complaint against the 77-year-old references a July 2021 recording of him showing acquaintances a plan to launch a military strike against Iran. Trump denied that accusation Monday in an interview with Fox News. (Read more from “Initial Trial Date Set in Federal Documents Case Against Donald Trump” HERE)

Hollywood Actress Takes Stand Against Genderless Awards — And Inadvertently Exposes Inherent Problem With Gender Ideology

/0 Comments/in , /by

Hollywood actress Jameela Jamil is taking a stand against gender-neutral award categories.

With the rise of gender ideology and an increasing number of people identifying as transgender or non-binary, the Academy Awards are facing pressure to eliminate gender-specific Oscar award categories. The Grammys and MTV Movie & TV Awards, for instance, have already dropped gender-specific awards. . .

“Would it not be better to give non-binary people their own category rather than open the door for Hollywood to completely shut out women given the known disproportionate amount of men vs women winning at award shows?” the actress wrote on Instagram over the weekend.

The irony of Jamil’s stance is that she supports gender ideology. In that same post, she wrote that it is “GREAT” that Hollywood now has enough “non-binary talent” to necessitate restructuring award shows. She just fears that eliminating gender categories will decrease the number of women who are recognized for their work on the big screen.

Thus, while supporting trans gender ideology, Jamil exposes the inherent problem with pretending that biological sex is fluid. (Read more from “Hollywood Actress Takes Stand Against Genderless Awards — And Inadvertently Exposes Inherent Problem With Gender Ideology” HERE)

Hunter Biden Avoids Jail in Plea Deal After He’s Slapped With Federal Tax and Gun Crime Charges: ‘Our System Is Broken’

/0 Comments/in , /by

First son Hunter Biden has agreed to plead guilty to federal tax charges as part of a deal with the Justice Department that will likely keep him out of jail and spare him a trial, according to a court document filed Tuesday.

The charges, first reported by NBC News, amount to a slap on the wrist at the conclusion of a five-year investigation into the 53-year-old that has focused on money he received from overseas business interests.

President Biden’s son will plead guilty to two misdemeanor charges of failing to pay federal income tax, according to a letter submitted to federal court by Delaware US Attorney David Weiss.

According to the charges, Hunter failed to pay at least $100,000 he owed in income tax in both 2017 and 2018. . .

As part of the agreement, Hunter has also agreed to enroll in a pretrial diversion agreement on the felony charge of illegally possessing a firearm as a drug user after he lied on a federal gun purchase form in October 2018 about his addiction.

Suspect in Hit-And-Run Crash That Killed 5 Young Women Is Son of Disgraced BLM Leader

/0 Comments/in , /by

The man busted for the hit-and-run crash that killed five young women getting ready for a wedding in Minnesota is the son of a fiery Black Lives Matter protest leader-turned-politician — who was ultimately booted by the Democrats over his shocking history of domestic violence arrests.

Derrick Thompson, 27 — the son of ex-state rep. John Thompson — was busted on suspicion of murder Monday over the horrifying caught-on-camera crash that killed Sabiriin Ali, 17, Sahra Gesaade, 20, Salma Abdikadir, 20, Sagal Hersi, 19, and Siham Adam, 19.

He already has a long history of convictions — including a felony from an earlier hit-and-run crash in California in 2018 that left a woman in a coma for several weeks, according to reports from the time.

Cops found more than 17 pounds of marijuana and over $20,000 in cash in his car at the time, KEYT News had noted.

He was sentenced to eight years in prison in 2020 — but was released earlier this year thanks to time served and good behavior, KSTP-TV said. (Read more from “Suspect in Hit-And-Run Crash That Killed 5 Young Women Is Son of Disgraced BLM Leader” HERE)

Trump: Drug Dealers Should Get Death Penalty (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

During a portion of an interview with the Fox News Channel that took place on Monday and was aired on Tuesday’s broadcast of “Special Report,” 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump argued that giving the death penalty to drug dealers is “the only way” to stop drug problems, and that Alice Johnson, a drug dealer he gave clemency to, “was treated very unfairly. She got 48 years,” despite not being “much of” a dealer. Trump also stated that his death penalty proposal “would depend on the severity.” But Johnson wouldn’t get the death penalty under his plan because it wouldn’t be retroactive, and “she wouldn’t have done it” if dealers got the death penalty.

Host Bret Baier asked, “You have said you would be in favor of the death penalty for drug dealers. Still the case?”

Trump responded, “Yeah, that’s the only way you’re going to stop it.” (Read more from “Trump: Drug Dealers Should Get Death Penalty (VIDEO)” HERE)
