Hunter Biden appears to be cooking up a last-minute legal tactic to dodge the full force of his alleged tax evasion sins. As he gears up for jury selection, his attorney, Abbe Lowell, has tantalizingly hinted that Biden will switch his not-guilty plea in a scheme that seems aimless but quite clever—an Alford plea. This allows Hunter to accept a guilty plea for tax-related crimes while still proclaiming his innocence. One must wonder how many times they can hit ‘undo’ in the courtroom before one faces the consequences of their actions.
The timing of this revelation is rich, coming just as a jury was about to be selected. One can only imagine the awkward silence in the courtroom when the prosecutor remarked that this change of heart was news to him. Clearly, the Biden legal team had plans that were either haphazard or phenomenally well-timed to avoid the spotlight on the family’s questionable dealings. This begs the question: if they’re so innocent, why all the theatrics?

With allegations of Hunter pocketing millions from shady foreign business dealings in places like China, Ukraine, and Romania, one can only hope that the judge doesn’t get sidetracked by all these legal shenanigans. It seems like Hunter’s strategy has more twists than a daytime soap opera. But there’s a silver lining for those keeping tabs on the political circus: avoiding a trial means the sordid tales of Hunter’s escapades with drugs and prostitutes might remain just that—tales. Imagine the headlines if the jury got to hear about all those wild nights instead of merely discussing his tax evasion.
Federal prosecutors were reportedly not involved in any plea deal negotiations before this surprise announcement, which raises eyebrows. It’s almost as if Hunter’s legal team decided to play poker with the courts, hoping to win on sheer bluff rather than hard evidence. But with the judge being a Trump appointee, one has to wonder if he might be even less inclined to show leniency, especially given the stink of political favoritism hanging over this case.
And let’s not overlook the unpalatable fact that Hunter was previously convicted of federal gun charges earlier this year. A family history like this calls into question how a crying baby can still show up in court and win sympathy. Moreover, the whispers of a possible presidential pardon waiting in the wings add an extra layer to this sordid drama. The perception that President Biden could wipe the slate clean at the flick of a pen only heightens the stakes and draws attention to the glaring hypocrisy that permeates this entire saga.
While the left may scurry to brush this under the rug, everyday Americans see through the smoke and mirrors. The innocence proclamation serves more as a punchline than a legal strategy, leaving one to ponder: When it comes to consequences for political elites, how many ways can they spin the wheel of justice before it stops turning in their favor?
