Was Hunter a "Foreign Agent"?

[WestCanMan]

Hunter is now well-known to have been lobbying the federal gov't on behalf of Ukrainian and Romanian businessmen, and as such he was supposed to register as a foreign lobbyist, which he failed to do, and he will likely be indicted and convicted of FARA Act violations, like some members of the Trump campaign were.

I don't know how worried Americans should be about Hunter helping out a couple of eastern-European businessmen, but if he also lobbied his father and Obama on behalf of a Chinese energy firm that's directly part of the Communist Gov't, that's a whole new kettle of fish.

We know that he asked his father to come to Ukraine and help out Burisma, I don't know for sure if he lobbied the US gov't for any help in his dealings that were tied to the Chinese gov't.

This has already become a problem for Joe Biden and Obama, because a FARA violation will name a member of the US Govt that was lobbied, but I think that lobbying for the Chinese energy firm is on a completely different level.

You guys have no self-awareness whatsoever. 😂

You have accusations but no evidence, which explains why Comer hasn’t gotten anywhere with his Biden investigations.  
 

However, Donald Trump is a convicted fraudster, and has been found liable for over half a billion dollars from his court-proven fraud.

Probably. At least in terms of enforcement, it's not as bright a line as it should be and much of his activity has been at least close to that fuzzy line. He may have crossed it. Probably did. 

But if they start enforcing that law strictly it's going to raise a LOT of uncomfortable questions for a lot of first families and associates.

So ironic that the entire Trump family are pretty much foreign agents, that sold America out to Russia and Saudi Arabia. Yet all the Trump fans can do is pick on Biden's addict son in response.

Hunter Biden as a 'foreign agent'? Inquiry comes as DOJ ramps up previously 'rare' enforcement

• WASHINGTON − While grappling with gun charges and a tax investigation, Hunter Biden faces potentially a third set of charges: His decision not to register as a "foreign agent" while working with companies in Ukraine and China.

It doesn't mean he was "a spy", geniuses, it simply means that he lobbied the US gov't on behalf of foreign interests, and everyone on the planet knows that he did exactly that when he asked to dad to come to Ukraine to meet with Zlochevsky and other Burisma board members (which Joe promptly did), to help get Zloch's fat outta the fire (which he also did). 

Joe Biden was desperate to make the case that he had no knowledge of nor involvement in Hunter's foreign business dealings, and he vehemently lied to that effect on TV in multiple different interviews, but as time has gone on, more and more incontrovertible evidence has surfaced showing that, not only was Joe aware of it all, at times Hunter sought the help of his father's US gov't clout on behalf of his foreign interests, and Joe had intimate dealings with those people. And we also know that Joe aided Zlochevsky greatly by unilaterally firing the prosecutor who got court orders to seize Z's personal assets in Ukraine's own Burisma case, and then appointing a "solid guy" who let Z off the hook 100%. 

As far as Hunter is concerned, just lobbying the US gov't for help on behalf of a foreign gov't's interests wasn't illegal, AS LONG AS he registered himself as a "Foreign Agent" as per the regulations of the FARA Act before doing so, but Hunter did not do that. He and Joe thought that they could just keep his lobbying secret, but the cat is outta the bag now and it ain't going back in. And that's mostly because of Joe's own big mouth, because if he never bragged about firing Ukraine's top prosecutor, it would have been unlikely that we ever found out about it, let alone seen a day when it was proven in court.

Anyhoo, a conviction for Hunter's particular FARA Act violation comes with a maximum penalty of 5 years in jail and a $250K fine. 

Ironically:

•  "the [justice] department ramped up criminal enforcement" of those violations " after Russian interference in the 2016 election" 🤦‍♂️.

IOW, the Dems' own Russian collusion farce could be responsible for a Demi president's son getting a federal prison sentence, and there doesn't seem to be a way out of it 🤣 (aside from a pardon of course, which will no doubt be granted).  

As far as the Burisma lobbying is concerned, I don't think that's something that a legitimate justice dep't would throw down a 5-yr sentence for, but Hunter's assistance with the Chinese gov't's 'One Belt, One Road' initiative - which is basically the Chinese Gov't's geopolitical influence expansion program - runs 100% contrary to America's geopolitical interests. It's absurd/treasonous that the Bidens would work with the Chinese gov't's main geopolitical influence expansion program. 

 

Heya lefties, I look fwd to seeing your next few oh-so-illuminating replies 😘

I'm not familiar enough with the law in this respect to be able to offer an opinion based on facts, but at first glance it certainly does seem that way.

I guess we'll see if they're considering charges
