Tulsi Gabbard just dropped 60,000 never-before-seen RFK assassination documents—including shocking FBI memos and chilling audio tapes you can hear for yourself. https://t.co/M3VMQK1dZy
Video Transcript AI Summary
Tulsi Gabbard announced the release of 60,000 additional documents related to the assassination of RFK, following an initial release of 10,000 documents in April. These files, which had been stored in federal government facilities for decades, were digitized and declassified per Trump's executive order. The release includes details about the FBI's investigation, internal memos, and audio recordings of LAPD interviews with Sirhan Sirhan and eyewitnesses.
The released files corroborate previous information about rumors circulating on foreign soil that Senator Kennedy had been shot one month prior to his actual assassination date. One FBI document mentions a request to re-examine the assassination based on a forensic scientist's claim that 13 shots, not eight, were fired, suggesting a second gunman. An audio recording includes an interview with a news editor who recounts confusion and delayed information about the shooting. The documents are available online with minimal redactions, excluding social security numbers, tax IDs, and grand jury information.

Speaker 0: We were able to cobble together, oh, 60,000 additional documents. You're kidding. Yeah. Today's release is an important step toward maximum transparency, finding the truth, and sharing the truth related to the assassination of RFK. This is the first time the American people have the opportunity to review all publicly available documents about the assassination of RFK.
Speaker 1: Who was shot? And nobody was shot. Nobody was shot. And I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 0: New RFK files dropped via Tulsi Gabbard saying, look, we've been digging around in the gutters of the FBI and the CIA. We were able to cobble together, oh, 60,000 additional documents. You're kidding. Yeah. I'm sure that is just the tip of the iceberg.
Okay. We're talking about, I would say, estimate volumes of millions of pages of documents. Remember that in the Trump January six case, there were allegedly 8,000,000 pages at one point. I think that number got up to about 14,000,000 at one point. And so this was the assassination of a senator that was investigated for years.
And so 60,000 pages or let's say 60,000 documents have now been released, but I'm sure there's a lot. And again, the question, of course, is now is there anything new? Right. Who can know ultimately whether there is anything new? I mean, I guess somebody could parse through it with AI now and come to a better conclusion than we ever could have.
But there are experts on these cases who've been studying these cases for decades now. And so they they might be able to tell you, you know, this is new or not or whatever. But anyways, these were discovered, declassified and digitized. We're happy to have them coming out saying today's release is an important step toward maximum transparency, finding the truth and sharing the truth. And what's cool about this is they released some actual mp3 files so we can listen to some of these audio recordings that they dropped.
But here is what Tulsi said officially, dropped this one May seventh saying, on April 18, director of national intelligence Tulsi Gabbard for the first time released approximately 10,000 documents related to the assassination of the senator RFK. Now today, an additional 60,000 files are released and accessible related to the assassination of RFK. Now, former president JFK, which were identified and released in accordance with federal law, all files related to the assassination of Senator Kennedy have been sitting in various storage facilities across the federal government for decades and had never been digitized or accessible to the public before. Per Trump's executive order, DNI Gabbard led the effort to digitize, declassify, prepare all RFK assassination files for public release. The Office of DNI worked with other agencies like the FBI and CIA, sent them out with flashlights in those giant Indiana Jones warehouses for records not previously turned over to the national archives, which resulted in the discovery of tens of thousands of additional documents related to the assassination of RFK in more than 60,000 pages made available online today.
Now today's release includes never seen before details about the FBI's investigation into the assassination of RFK, including the discussion of potential leads by various FBI offices, internal FBI memos, and detailing the progress of the case and more. As first uncovered in the initial tranche of 10,000 RFK files, there were rumors circulating on foreign soil that Senator Kennedy had been shot one month prior to his true assassination date. Today's additional investigative materials corroborate this previously released information. And further, this release includes audio recordings of the Los Angeles Police Department's LAPD interviews with Sirhan Sirhan, as well as recordings of interviews with eyewitnesses of the assassination. Although some of the files were previously released by the LAPD or individuals via Freedom of Information Act request, this is the first time the American people will have the opportunity to review all publicly available documents about the assassination of RFK in one location.
As agencies continue to search government facilities for additional files, the new documents will be uploaded alongside the previously released files all in one centralized, searchable format. The newly released files will be uploaded with minimal redactions for privacy reasons. What were they deleting is social security, tax IDs, grand jury information, and other things. Otherwise, Tulsi will post the updates and more will be coming out. So the first release that she's released back in April was here.
And so she just reposting her prior posts and here's what we've got. So this is what it looks like as per usual. You go to the same website Here, records related to the assassination of Senator R. F. K.
We see Trump signed Executive Order fourteen thousand one seventy six Declassification of Records and they've been working on it, saying the National Archives is working with other federal agencies to review and release the records and the table below displays files of everything that we've got. So what you can just do is actually just get rid of this search term and you can see they release some files here like this one here. We'll just take a look at this one, for example. Here's a PDF. Okay.
FBI electronic communication 2012 record saying on October 9, FBI was advised of a request to re examine the assassination. It's like no. The basis of this request was a claim by a forensic scientist called Philip in his examination of an audio recording that said that there were 13 shots, not eight, that were fired during his assassination. If true, this would necessitate a second gunman as convicted assassin Sirhan Sirhan used an eight shot point two two caliber Iver Johnson revolver and unable to reload during the incident. So where'd those extra bullets come from?
The tape reviewed by Van Praagh was a tape made by Stuss, a reporter for the Harper. Van Praagh obtained a copy of the tape via the archives, used scientific procedures for analysis, claims this method has undergone peer review and is valid, saying there were additional bullets there. FBI case file was opened unknown at this time if the tape reviewed was the filtered copy that was provided to the LAPD by the FBI. Yeah. Was it a filtered copy or was it a copy of a copy?
A lead was set and the tapes from evidentiary items were also sent to the FBI to determine if they could substantiate the claims. Case file was closed but maintained for historical purposes. We maintained chain of custody and in addition due to the absence of serials and sub files from LA, no serials or sub files were migrated into Sentinel. And so we had to review some of those various numbers. So here is just a short snippet of some of the audio recordings, some of maybe what they were referencing right there.
And you can go to the archives and just type in dot m p three. You can see there's interviews, news editors. Here's a recording from William Bales, news editor, six minutes.
Speaker 1: I thought to myself, if something happened, somebody should know about it. So I walked in and I said, who was shot? And nobody said, nobody was shot. Nobody was shot. And I said, oh, alright.
And I waited a while, and then I walked to a telephone booth, and I called my parents long distance to Ohio. And I woke my parents up, and I told them Kennedy was shot. My parents have, you know, been following me with the campaign. So I was in the telephone booth and then I saw just masses of people seem to run by the telephone. And I hung up.
I told my parents I had to hang up. Hung up. I went back into the main room and I asked who was shot. And it must have been ten minutes, ten minutes before anybody on that Ground Floor seemed to have known anything. And I said, who was shot?
And then I this Marge Jay was on the on the speaker, and she was saying, you know, somebody has been seriously injured. Everybody please clear the way. Go to the television set. That's why I was standing by the television set set. And I was just standing there and listening to everything that happened, and I couldn't believe it.
And so I wanted to make sure. So I asked who was shot? Was it him? They said, yes. It was.
So I went back to the telephone booth, tried to get my parents, but the lines were all tied up. I couldn't get through.
Speaker 0: Wild. So a lot of other tapes here. We'll see if there's transcripts or if anybody can glean anything out of this that can lend some credence to the other theories that are out there. And even that one document that we just read, they're talking about those extra bullets. We'll see what comes from it.
But shout out to Tulsi. We appreciate the transparency and the release of the files. Hopefully it continues on.

A little-known Obama memo that created a Presidential IT Department may provide Trump with a new defense in his classified documents case. https://t.co/6QcQ92nPVZ
Video Transcript AI Summary
America First Legal, a national nonprofit organization, claims that Obama established a new presumption in presidential records. According to them, if the president receives records, they are considered his and his alone. Obama created a White House information technology director and an executive committee for presidential information technology. The PITC memo by Obama created the legal fiction that even though the records were physically stored by the DOD, they were subject to the president's exclusive control. America First Legal argues that Trump could have used this precedent to conclude that all information provided to him was within his exclusive control.

Speaker 0: America First Legal sent this one in. They say, alright. Dear FOIA officers, America First Legal is a national nonprofit organization that works to promote the rule of law and public knowledge about what the heck's happening in this country. They tell us to cover up Russia hacking, Obama created a new presumption in presidential records. Those received by the president are in his exclusive control.
K. If the president gets records, they are his and his alone. Obama did it, not Trump. Obama, he established via executive action a White House information technology director, and he also created an executive committee for presidential information technology. And so the PITC memo by Obama created the legal fiction Chin, that although the records were physically stored and possessed by the DOD, they were subject to the president's exclusive control.
Now because of Obama's active action. They say Trump could have used that and he could have reasonably concluded that all information provided to him was literally within his exclusive control.

Garrett Ziegler with @MarcoPolo501c3 joined to breakdown the latest Hunter Biden indictment. https://t.co/TNcrgKY1pm
Video Transcript AI Summary
Hunter Biden is facing a 56-count indictment that includes charges of tax fraud, wire fraud, and drug dealing. The indictment reveals his involvement with entities like Burisma and CEFC, as well as his receipt of millions of dollars in compensation. Hunter is accused of evading taxes and using shell companies to transfer funds. The indictment also implicates other individuals, such as Rob Walker and James Biden, in Hunter's financial dealings. Hunter's memoir, "Beautiful Things," and the financial support he received from Kevin Morris are mentioned. The charges paint a picture of Hunter's involvement in illicit activities and his evasion of taxes. Additionally, the transcript discusses the need for local counsel in California for Hunter's case, plans for Abby to be present at his arraignment, and efforts to support their cause through billboard trucks and fightbiden.org. The rest of the transcript outlines the charges against Hunter for not paying taxes and falsely claiming personal expenses as business deductions.

Speaker 0: Hunter Biden is in the house, and man, he's got 9 criminal charges in a 56 count indictment that we are going to go through, and we're gonna do it with the help of Garrett Ziegler, who is the author. You may know this book. We've talked about it a lot. The port on the Biden laptop, and so he is going to be joining us at some point on the program today. We're gonna get into a bunch of different stuff.
Predominantly, we're gonna talk about the indictment that is out there because the indictment is now out. It's 56 pages. It's out of California, and we're gonna go through it in detail. Mister Zeigler, as you know, has a lot of inside scoop. This thing's 56 pages, but his summary is a lot, lot longer than that, so we're going to ask ourselves what is missing, what's included, and what is not, and then we're gonna jump into our after party.
If you wanna join us for our after party, you know where to go there. It's watching the watchers dot locals dot com, and so I think without any further ado, the man of the hour is here. If we're good to go, we will bring him on aboard, and mister Garrett Ziegler is in the house, my friends. And so, Garrett, welcome aboard. Can you hear me loud and clear?
Speaker 1: I can hear you. Can you hear me?
Speaker 0: You sound great, my friend. It's very good to see you here today.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. And I am Completely prepped. Got all 56 right here. I've read through it twice. I'm very excited to be talking with you.
I've read all the statements That you just alluded to. So like they do at the beginning of depositions, I am ready to go. There's some meat on the bones here, But it's of a scrawny guy. So there's meat there, but not as much as there could be.
Speaker 0: Well, that was my initial thought on this thing because just to give the audience a little bit of background here. We've had conversations before here on this channel, but for people who may not know you, right, you are Garrett Ziegler. You're one of the, you know, founders, creators, Marco Polo, and you were the author of this book. It's report on the Biden laptop.
Speaker 1: My mother has sent me a screenshot of your show, and she circled the report on your bookshelf right behind Your right ear.
Speaker 0: Tucked up right there. It's a masterpiece, and remind me, how many pages is in this thing?
Speaker 1: 644. It was a team effort. We created Marco Polo as a nonprofit private investigative group. We have private investigators on our board, and they're involved in every facet of the research. And so we're not a political entity.
We are not interested in putting something out that is not completely baked, and that causes us To be, like, the 4th or 5th time you hear about something, but we hope that it's the most granular. And like you said, this is my 4th time on your program, And I love it deeply, and there are so many things in this report that can corroborate the indictment. In fact, when I've been traveling, but when I catch my breath, I'm gonna go we're gonna create a Twitter thread that links the exact email on our site from Biden laptop emails dot that is referenced in the indictment. So never before I think in American history can you read an indictment and, you know, they'll Quoted they'll quote emails in many indict. Right?
Tax fraud, wire fraud, drug dealing, but now the people will be able to see the exact email metadata referenced In the indictment. I love it.
Speaker 0: Yeah. And there's a lot in this report that you've drafted, and just for anybody who wants to get a copy of it, they can go to marcopolousa.org, get a copy there so they can follow along with anything you're saying. I mean, it's one of the most sourced compendiums that I've ever seen. It's very, very impressive work. And so the thing that we noticed, right, is this is a 56 pager.
Yours is 600 plus pages, so there's there's a lot there that is not here in the indictment, but my thought is we just jump into the indictment and kind of Totally. You know,
Speaker 1: we'll re I will Speak only if my value add is material. So there might be, you know, 2 pages that I don't speak in one time. I wanna dive into something. So pretend like you're on like you don't have a guest, and when I have something of value, I'll I'll jump in.
Speaker 0: Well, let's do it, and my thought was we try to get to at least through the first, like, 15, 16 pages on it because that's really where the meat and potato is before we jump into the actual the counts and the charges, but there is a lot here, and I think this is probably a good setup so that the audience can read and follow along with us. But my friends, this is the case. This is another Hunter Biden indictment, and just for a little context, this is not out of Delaware. Okay. On this channel, we've been following the Delaware case, and we have really had some serious criticisms about Hunter Biden and his defense team and really why they should have taken the deal a long time ago.
There was this, In my opinion, a rigged plea deal that was proffered forward. They were in court. The whole thing was kinda set up to go. The judge in Delaware, judge Norika, asked a couple questions, made the whole thing derailed when Hunter didn't answer it appropriately, and now we're facing a whole new slew of charges. And so the summary here is we've got 9 new charges.
We've got 6 misdemeanors and 3 additional felonies in an entirely different district, and this comes on the back of Hunter's lawyer, Abby Lowell, basically getting very aggressive with the DOJ, threatening them that we're gonna go subpoena Trump, and we're gonna go subpoena Bill Barr, We're gonna go with, you know, after all these people, and they were calling the DOJ corrupt. And, like, Hunter was the victim of this selective prosecution even though his daddy runs the DOJ, runs the executive branch through Merrick Garland and this entire entity. So they started to get very aggressive with the DOJ and we read through David Weiss's, but don't speak in high regard to the guy because of how rigged it was at the outset, but now he's been kind of backed into a corner and he responded saying your indictment, your request for subpoenas are Absolutely ridiculous, and it was a little bit of a surprise to me to wake up to this new indictment. I actually wasn't expecting it this quickly. I thought that maybe we'd see some escalation elsewhere.
So any comments on that before we jump in?
Speaker 1: The number 1, I think that with a lot of credit needs to be given to the IRS whistleblowers. The press Release announcing the 1st plea deal attempt was June 20th. And the congress, specifically the Ways and Means Committee, voted to release The transcript of Gary Shapleigh on June 7th. And so what we've had here is people trying to save face. So this is, like you said, obviously, a step up from an aborted plea deal.
There are some meat on the bones, and not every indictment is 56 pages. They put material in here that did not need to be in this indictment. It's all true. But the breakdown, for example, of the pimps In hookers and all the things he tried to write off on their taxes, you can have a bare bones 5 page indictment. You don't have to go into the evidence.
The grand jury's heard the evidence. The evidence is only a need for a trial for you to convince another jury of one's peers. So they put in this a lot of things that are gonna make the Bidens uncomfortable. Kevin Morris is smoking on his bong today. They're not feeling well.
This is embarrassing for them. And I have the privilege and Marco Polo has the privilege of being Sued by both the people we're talking about right now. So the president's son is suing us in the central district of California, the very district that you're talking about here. And Kevin Morris, the guy who comes up in this indictment known as a personal friend, he's not only a personal friend. That was a mistake on the prosecutor's But Kevin Morris is suing us in state court.
And since I spoke with you last, we won one cause of action. Kevin Morris owes us legal fees On approximately $45,000, and we'll be we're appealing in California state court the other 4 causes of action that judge Richard Epstein Should have granted immediately. So let's dive in. The 2 gentlemen who what we're gonna be reading, the writing is Leo Weiss and Derek Hines. They go by a lot of nicknames.
They're both 6 foot 5. They're both looked at as g men type of straight laced guys. Leo Wise worked At the congressional ethics office for a while, but these guys are also lackeys abroad Rosenstein. And so they're the ones who wrote this. And like I've said before, it's a limited hangout, but it's much less of a limited hangout.
What I mean by that is they wanna be able to hold this up and say, hey, look. Nobody's above the law in the United States. And one more thing I'll say before we dive in is Abby Lowell made a statement today, Robert, that said if it weren't for his last name, Hunter Biden wouldn't have been charged with this. Hilariously, I agree. If Hunter Biden were if Hunter Biden were Hunter Smith, he'd be charged with more in different times, like money laundering, car violations, and sex trafficking.
So this is a start, but we're not holding our breath.
Speaker 0: Yeah. This was the statement, I believe Let me see if I can share that one. Yeah. This was Abe Lowell's statement, and I think if I yeah, it's a little hard to read it, but, yeah, based on the facts and the law, if Hunter's last name was anything other than Biden, the charges in Delaware, now in California, would not have been brought, and, you know, there's the rest of the statement. We can come back to that, but just to go back to point that you were making and, you know, this issue that there's a little bit more here that maybe meets the eye.
Obviously, the case is United States of America versus Robert Hunter Biden. The indictment's coming out of the central district of California, and it says here just in the introduction that defendant Robert Hunter Biden was a Georgetown and a Yale educated lawyer. And then the next word, right, which we all knew, and it's like, well, okay. You kinda botched this case with all of those Ivy Leagues, but the next one that really stands out is the lobbyist. Right?
Because there's a lot of talk that maybe he's why wasn't he charged with FARA violations if he's lobbying on behalf of foreign entities like to EFC, and and he wasn't charged with any of those types of crimes here, but maybe that's just like, hey, you know, that's the next step for us.
Speaker 1: Yeah. That's what justice requires. It be the next step.
Speaker 0: Yeah. So they say, okay. We know he's a lobbyist. He's a consultant. He's a business person.
They say beginning in April 2018, and we're gonna pay special attention to the dates here because of when Trump's in office when Joe was leaving office under the Obama term, then when he came back in. So at the time, beginning April 2018, he's a resident of LA, saying at all times that we're about to talk about, Hunter served on the board of the Ukrainian industrial conglomerate and a Chinese private equity fund. He also negotiated, executed contracts, agreements for businesses, legal services, and was paid 1,000,000 of dollars in compensation to him and his domestic corporations. Both of these, we've talked a lot about, Awasco, the PC, and the LLC, saying in addition to his business interests, Hunter was an employee of a multinational law also working in an of counsel capacity, which is, you know, this little trick that a lot of law firms will do when they wanna loosely associate with somebody. You're not really on employee of the firm.
You're kind of like a contract lawyer with the firm, but there's really loose, you know, depending on the state, there's, like, kinda loose agreements on how it all works. And so you can kinda say, I'm at the law firm if you're the of counsel attorney, but you're not technically there like an employee or a partner, and so it's just in other words, you can kinda sell your name, where you can lend your name.
Speaker 1: Yes. And the value add that Marco Polo has and what we're gonna be doing on Twitter, but we'll do here first is we will figure out and name each of these entities. So for us, for Marco Polo, multinational law firm is not specific enough. This is Boyes Schiller Flexner. So what we're gonna be doing Is going through the document and writing down the names and then putting that in the document on our tweets.
So this is Boy, Shiller, Flexner in point number 3.
Speaker 0: Amazing. And where's the best place for people to follow you and support you? Obviously, you've got litigation going on, so we just wanna make sure people know that.
Speaker 1: Thank you. All of our Media is Marco Polo 501c3, denoting our nonprofit status. And our legal defense fund, we've had a $180,000 in legal fees Just since May, Robert, is fightbiden.org. Can't make it more easier and easier to remember. So fightbiden.org and marcopolo 5 0 1 c 3.
Importantly, Boy Schiller Flexner paid Hunter approximately $215,000 per year. He didn't even maintain an office His job was to be a rainmaker. He just got Boyse Schiller clients. Made 2.15 a year to do basically nothing but talk on the
Speaker 0: Yeah. Good work if you can get it, and the last name Biden is certainly something that helped, no doubt. So they continue. The government tells us that Hunter, He engaged in a 4 year scheme to not pay at least $1,400,000, and that was a self assessed, so he assessed that on himself, federal taxes that he owed for the years 2016 through 2019. Just a quick point.
I know we'll pick up the pace on this a little bit, but in terms of the dates. Right? We also gotta remember that there were a bunch of other potential charges that they never brought because the statute of limitations expired and they all just literally fire. Right? The law says that when there is evidence of a crime, the government knows about it.
You gotta bring the criminal charges within a certain period of time or else evidence can expire. Right? Even in, you know, DUI case, like you don't wanna hold a blood vial for 25 years and then charge somebody because the blood can go bad. Evidence expires, witness memory expires, and so you have to you have a certain time period. You also wanna incentivize the government to actually bring the not just dillydally, and so conveniently, many of these investigations with Hunter just took forever, just left on and on and on and on, and then some of the major charges actually dropped off.
Okay. So carrying on. From in or about January 2017 through in or about August 15, 2020 and to evade the assessment of taxes for another tax year, he also filed false returns in about February 2020. Now in furtherance of this scheme, Hunter did a bunch of things. A, he subverted the payroll and the tax withholding process of his own company, which was a WASCO PC.
He withdrew 1,000,000 of dollars from the PC outside of the payroll and the tax withholding process, which was all in manuals or whatever they were doing, and it was bypassing it. He spent 1,000,000 of dollars on an extravagant lifestyle, and we have summaries of that later on in the document rather than paying his tax bills. In 2018, he stopped paying his outstanding overdue taxes for 2015 that he was due. He willfully failed to pay his taxes in the years 16, 17, 18, 19, all on time, even though he had the money to do it. And he also failed to file his 2017 and 18 tax returns on time.
And when he did finally file his 2018 returns, he included false business deductions in order to evade the assessment of the taxes and to reduce the substantial tax liabilities that he faced coming up in February 2020. Carrying on. They say the defendant also made 1,000,000 of dollars in the 4 years from 2016 to 2020. Now I think this is also interesting because, You know, by allowing this to continue on and allowing those older cases to expire, they don't have to spend time on those years when he was in office, when Biden was actually the vice president, so it's convenient for them, but they carry on. They say between 2016 and October 15, 2020, which will be all the Trump years, Hunter individually received more than $7,000,000 in total gross income.
Now this included in excess of 1,500,000 in 2000 team, 2,300,000 in 2007, 2,100,000 in 18, 1,000,000 in 19, and 188,000 in 2020, so a major drop there. In addition, from January through October 2020, Hunter also received 1,200,000 in financial support to fund his extravagant lifestyle. Dial.
Speaker 1: Now this is where our plaintiffs comes in. Kevin Morris is gonna come up very quickly, and he's gonna be referred to as a personal friend. That is false. Why can we say that? Because he's not just a personal friend, you know, omitting material context, you know, you can be charged in SEC crimes and other things by, If you say something true, but it's incomplete, that statement can still be false.
And by calling him only a personal friend, it's False. Kevin Morris worked with Hunter Biden's tax accountants to ease considerable pressure politically from Hunter Biden having these tax debts. So that financial support came from a and the whistle blowers, I love them, but they did transpose his first and middle name. It's Patrick Kevin Morris. We know that.
Kevin goes by his middle name as does Hunter.
Speaker 0: Interesting. Okay. So we'll hear more from him, but he's funding $1,200,000. Right? This is just a guy.
Right? I mean, this is not
Speaker 1: Made all of his money from being the attorney for the South Park creators, And, again, if Hunter were normal people when they fall on tough times and the money dries up, you know, maybe they rent a 2 bedroom in San Bernardino. No. Not our princeling Hunter. Kevin Morris shelled out $20 a month for him to live on a canal in Venice just because he's a princeling. So Hunter exacerbated all of this.
He has agency. Everybody treats him like a little baby with kids' gloves. He's a 53 year old man.
Speaker 0: Yes. And He had a lot of money and it all just went somewhere. Right? And the question is, what was the justification for him to continue to get this money? What was he trading on, but here's one example that the government identifies for us.
Right? This is David Weiss and the special counsel's office. They take us over into Burisma. They say, in or about April team, which is, again, is, you know, much further back than we were talking about previously, Hunter joined the board of Burisma, which was a Ukrainian industrial conglomerate. They say Burisma agreed to pay Hunter $1,000,000 a year.
That was in monthly disbursements. We talked about those numbers. They're 83 and 3rd.
Speaker 1: Addendum. The prosecutors made a mistake. They Could've said Ukrainian base. Burisma Holdings Limited was actually domiciled in Cyprus, because it was easier to set up Maltese bank Counts to launder money.
Speaker 0: Interesting. Yeah. That's a little bit of technical detail there.
Speaker 1: What our report is for.
Speaker 0: I know, man.
Speaker 1: Ukrainian based Cypriot registered gas company. Joey says his son's done nothing wrong.
Speaker 0: Yes. And if you take a look at this report, you can go take a look at the PDF at marcopolousa. Org. You'll see what I'm talking about. There are footnotes.
It is detailed as can be, and so it's very, very impressive work. So they are located really in Cyprus. It is Burisma, a Ukrainian cranium based company. They're paying Hunter $1,000,000 a year. In March 2017, take a look at that date.
Okay. So Joe Biden is now exiting. Decides to reduce his compensation from 1,000,000 a year to 500,000 a year even though they kept him on the board until about April 2019. A lot less valuable when daddy's not president.
Speaker 1: It'd be like vice president. Hooker when he was at Georgetown, and then he meets her 20 years later and says, hey, I really like you, but you're just not as good looking. I'll pay you I'll pay you half.
Speaker 0: Right. Right.
Speaker 1: Goes down 50% when his daddy's not in office.
Speaker 0: Right. The terms have changed. What are you gonna do for us now? So that's very convenient. Now, as a result, He got a total of $1,000,000 in 2016, $630,000 in 2017, half a1000000 in 2018, and then 160 in 2019.
So you see that dropping off pretty significantly. Right? And I like how they also try to, like, tier that down, you know, so it kind of looks like it's a normal glide path exit or something. We all know what that's about.
Speaker 1: Yep. He gets off the board just real quick only days before Joey announces. Joey announces April 25th 2019, we think he gets off the board at the 1st week of April. So right like clockwork. Somebody's like, dude, this is a distraction.
You've got to get off this board.
Speaker 0: Yep. And they're just cleaning up the loose ends at the time, so they take us over to the Romanian contract. So they tell us, now in the fall of 2015, Hunter, he entered into an oral agreement with a business associate one. Rob Rob. Rob Walker.
Perfect. Thank you for that. So business associate one is Rob Walker. Hunter enters into a deal with Rob Walker reportedly to help a Romanian businessperson,
Speaker 1: initial Popoviciu.
Speaker 0: GP to contest bribery charges that he was facing in his home country. So that's Romania. And Rob Walker, who was he?
Speaker 1: Former Clinton staffer. His wife, Betsy, was the personal aid to doctor Jill Biden. Jill is a doctor unless you have, like, a stroke that is, and then you have to find an MD. But long time crony, traveled Latin America with Bill Clinton based out of Little Rock, total grifter, part time owner of Meadow Biota. Can you believe it?
So yeah. This is somebody who got And convicted on bribery charges for giving preferential treatment to a Romanian lawmaker to get a good deal on commercial real estate in downtown Bucharest. So these are people that Robert and I, you know, interface with all the time.
Speaker 0: And this is somebody so Rob Walker, then he has kind of a reputation for helping people with these types of problems.
Speaker 1: In his own words, he's the Stand in for Hunter. Rob Walker is there to create layers between the ultimate payer and the ultimate beneficiary. So a lot of the cash goes to Rob to make it harder for and it'd be hard if this crackhead didn't leave his laptop for us to follow the money. So if it goes to Rob, that's another link in the chain that somebody has to Connect.
Speaker 0: Amazing. Okay. So he's kind of this liaison guy. They obviously bring in Hunter because of the name, fall of 2015. So Joe's bill in office, and we have you know, it reminds me of what we're hearing about with Menendez, honestly.
You know, Menendez was doing a lot of this type of get somebody off. Although he was calling US attorneys in the United States, but it's the same type of pattern. Mhmm. So they say, now he is trying to help GP, this Romanian business person, contest these bribery charges and he was facing them in Romania. So GP, he paid an entity associated with Rob Walker through his Romanian business.
Now between November 2015 and May 2017, Rob Walker's entity then received approximately $3,100,000. Nice chunk of money from Romania, I would imagine. It was split roughly into thirds between Hunter, Rob Walker, and business associate too.
Speaker 1: So we believe that this is James Gillier.
Speaker 0: Okay.
Speaker 1: The English born bald guy who, in May of 2017 proposed an equity distribution whereby 10% was gonna be held by h for the big guy.
Speaker 0: Okay. That was him.
Speaker 1: Yes. His daughter has deleted all of her social media as a result of Marco Polo.
Speaker 0: Well, that's
Speaker 1: Didn't even talk about his daughter, although she did work for Hillary So, yeah, James Gilliard.
Speaker 0: Curious. Okay. So we got the whole little entourage together. They're trying to work these deals out. That was just in Romania.
Then they say under sub section 3. Now we're going to jump over to China. CEFC, the China energy company, they tell us in late fall, also of 2015, Hunter, business associate 1, Rob Walker, and 2, which is Gilear, same people, they begin to investigate potential infrastructure project with individuals associated with CEFC, which is a Chinese energy conglomerate. In or around December of that year, Hunter then met in Washington DC. So it's the fall to the December than the individual and with individuals associated with CEFC.
During the next 2 years, Hunter, Rob Walker and Gilear, presumably, continued to meet with the individuals associated with CEFC, including in February 2017 with the then chairman hereinafter called chairman.
Speaker 1: And is that Ye Jianming hasn't been seen since March of 2018. The February 2017 meeting they allude to was in Miami, Wherein Yi Jingming gave Hunter Biden an $80,000 diamond.
Speaker 0: That's right. The diamond. Okay. So he's meeting with them, and this is taking place in Washington now.
Speaker 1: That meeting occurred in Miami in February, but the December 15 is in DC. February 17 is in Miami. They have like a yacht show down there, and it's an excuse for everybody to get together.
Speaker 0: Amazing. So then we fast forward, we're in March, March 1, 2017, State Energy HK, which is a Hong Kong entity that's also associated with the Chinese CEFC. They paid $3,000,000 to Rob Walker's entity for sourcing deals and for identifying other potential ventures. A Hong Kong company that's connected with CEFC dumps another 3,000,000 in. Hunter had an oral agreement with Rob Walker to receive 1 third of those, so he's got a 1,000,000 coming his way from that deal.
The defendant, Hunter, in turn then directed a portion of those $1,000,000 to go back over to what we think to be Guilliard.
Speaker 1: No. No.
Speaker 0: No. Oh, that's someone else. That's 3.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Guilliard, business associate, 2. We believe a business associate, 3, is Jimmy Biden, Joey's brother.
Speaker 0: Oh, okay. So, yeah, that's thanks for the catch.
Speaker 1: Absolutely nuts.
Speaker 0: Thanks for the catch on that. So the family gets that, business associate three, and now you can really see why they don't wanna put the names of these people in these indictments dice because that can get a
Speaker 1: little bit problematic. He provide the clarity that pisses off all the right people. If we're not pissing off people daily, our finger is not in the open wound You
Speaker 0: got it, my friend, and this is so good. So we're just adding some notes to this, and we'll save these red lines if you wanna download these later.
Speaker 1: Please, please.
Speaker 0: We'll just add the notes to them, and so here it says they continue. So now James Biden is getting a portion of Hunter Biden's deal. So he takes a cut, then he passes off off a cut to James. The president's broke. After the state HK payment, Hunter, we've got Walker and then Gilear, then they begin negotiating a joint venture with individuals also associated with CEFC.
They called this new entity Sinohawk, s I n o, hawk.
Speaker 1: Yep. I know the backstory from Tony Bobolinski about that. Sino obviously dealing with the orient, the Chinese, and then hawk was Beau Biden's favorite animal. So they named it after their dead brother's favorite animal. The hawk.
I know it's warped, but that's the truth.
Speaker 0: Nice. And then they're gonna maneuver funds all over the place through it. That's nice.
Speaker 1: Over the dead brother.
Speaker 0: Over the dead brother. Nice bro. So over the summer then of 2017, Hunter cut out his Sinohawk business partners and separately negotiated a venture with individuals then associated with to EFC called Hudson West 3. So then he screws those people out of the deal and then work for someone else. On a Republican this
Speaker 1: is where Bobolinski comes into play. Okay. Can be a hard ass. Pardon my French. But Yeah.
Hunter and him butted heads. And Hunter's like, I hold the ultimate hand here. He said this in WhatsApp messages. And that ultimate hand is Biden. So he's like, dude, he didn't tell Bobolinski this at the time, but he cut him out because he didn't wanna deal with him.
He didn't want scrutiny. He wanted to use that as his own piggy bank, And Bob Alinsky, although Bob Alinsky wanted to get embedded with the tricoms, he at least wanted to build some bridges, some infrastructure projects, and Hunter just wanted to go.
Speaker 0: Yeah. And and for those who recognized that name, Bob Yolinski. We talked about him way before in the 2020 election. He was the guy who kind of popped up there, I think, in October, right? And he was revealing a lot of this.
It was this simultaneous to the release of the Hunter laptop that the New York Post talked about. I mean, he got censored. Everybody just kind of ignored this whole thing until they could just squeeze Biden through.
Speaker 1: So disgusting.
Speaker 0: Continuing, they say, on or about August 2, 2017, Hunter executed on behalf of his company called Owasco, the operating agreement for Hudson West three. H w three was funded with an initial $5,000,000 of capital from an entity that was not owned or controlled by Hunter. The contract further named Hunter as, quote, the manager of Hudson West and specified that he would receive, quote, compensation of $100 per month whoo, and a one time retainer fee of half $1,000,000. Owosco paid no capital contribution for its ownership share of Hudson West three. Was this the transaction we covered previously here?
One of the emails, there was an email that I think the oversight committee just released recently about, I think $5,000,000 that landed in some accounts, and they said there was a banker who was reading through it, and he said, you know, this is kind of a a strange transaction.
Speaker 1: One of Marco Polo's contributions is that we've identified the bank That sent that email. It's Cathay Bank, c a t h a y, headquartered in Los Angeles. They were founded right when the Chinese Started immigrating in mass to Los Angeles, and quite frankly, they've been the most forthcoming of all the American banks. And this, again, you'll recall took place 2 days after The WhatsApp shakedown with Hunter and Joey at Joey's house where Hunter is Whatsapping Raymond and said, I am Sitting here with my father. If the chairman doesn't follow, he said, I will assure you that between who I know and who the man sitting next to me knows, you will come to reneging.
So this is 2 days after. So you got Joey involved in the shakedown. He knew what was going on. He lies so effortlessly that people start to believe But Joey's involved in the shakedown. Days later, the 5 mil comes in.
Speaker 0: And then the money just gets
Speaker 1: Yep. And guess what? At this same time, Robert, and this Not in the indictment, although it should be related in a separate indictment. Right after that payment comes through, Joey pays cash for the Rehoboth Beach House. So just keep those 2 things in mind.
I don't have enough yet. I rely on paper, so I don't have enough yet, but the timing fits. Joey pays cash for the Rehoboth beach house, 2 mil.
Speaker 0: So they form this new entity, Hudson West three. They get funded. There's capital contribution. Somebody drops $5,000,000 in there and nobody really knows Ye Jin Ming. Okay.
So that's Ye Jin Ming. Yes. So then Hunter gets these nice terms. He's making $100 a month. That's more than Ukraine than Boris and he also gets, you know, half $1,000,000 to start.
Now shortly after the execution of the contract on or about August 8, 2017, Hudson West then transferred only $400,000 to Hunter's company called Owasco. Then thereafter, Owasco received monthly transfers of approximately 165 grant. In total, Hudson West made 7 transfers to Hunter's company, Owasco, in 2017 totaling 1,445,000. Hunter then transferred $555,000 of those funds from Owasco from their Wells Fargo account to business associate three, which was
Speaker 1: Jimmy Biden. Jimmy Biden, the president. Look alike and younger brother Jimmy. Uncle Jimmy as they know him, the fixer.
Speaker 0: Amazing. So he gets half a $1,000,000. Then in 2018
Speaker 1: For nothing. For nothing. They have 1 aborted deal down in Louisiana involving a piece of land where they Gonna build an LNG terminal for the Tricom's benefit called Monkey Island. Other than that, they did nothing.
Speaker 0: And that's the end of the line really for that money. Right? I mean, that's not another business that they're sending it to. That's like James Biden. That's his spending money.
That's the job well done. They say in 2018, Hudson West 3 made another 15 transfers to Owasco. Though. That was 2,100,000, and then Hunter transport approximately $844,000 of those funds back over to James Biden as well. Man, so we're now over $1,000,000 here just from those couple transfers.
We jump into a next section. Now this word is Skinny Atlas, I botched it for
Speaker 1: a year. Don't feel bad at all. Both the Waskow and Skinny Atlas are 2 of the Finger Lakes. Everybody knows Hunter's tiger claw like tattoo on his back. Those are the Finger Lakes in upstate New York where his deceased mother, Nelia, is So he names the shell companies after the Finger Lakes.
Speaker 0: Okay. So skinny
Speaker 1: Atlas. So you know the Atlas that your mom or your grandma has in her glove box. Think of the word like skinny, s k I n n y, skinny atlas.
Speaker 0: Skinny atlas. I'll try it. Alright. So section 4 is skinny atlas. Says on or about September 21, 2017.
Hunter then received a transfer of another $666,000, so 2 thirds of a mil, from Skinny Atlas, which was a partnership owned by 75% by Hunter and another 25% by business associate for Eric Schwerin. Eric Schwaren, and we've seen him a lot. Wasn't his background was kind of the manager for the fire pen?
Speaker 1: He was the organizer. Eric Schwaren was a University of Pennsylvania educated high paid babysitter. He was to set up all of the corporate documents, set up the meetings, make sure Hunter went to his AAA meetings. He was a high paid babysitter for the Biden family. Eric Schwaren, the personal financial adviser and consultant to the US vice president at the time, Shared bank account with both Hunter and Joe Biden.
Paid bills for Joe Biden from their shared bank account, which was capitalized in part by foreign oligarchs.
Speaker 0: And that's interesting, you know, he would presumably know Hunter quite well and have been familiar with his proclivities, and it's interesting that he would want to form a company with him with, you know an ownership share of that.
Speaker 1: His dad is in bed with the Chiacom. He's been to China since the turn of the century. Eric Schwaren, though, doesn't have the vice Hunter has. He's a very sober person. All of his emails are impeccably written, but he's corrupt.
And he knew what was happening, but he's made out to be a scapegoat in the indictment. Eric Schwerin should be pleased with this indictment because it looks at him as if he's just looking out for his friend, and his friend was the wayward one, where Schwerin's hands aren't clean either. They're all in bed with each other.
Speaker 0: Yep. So Hunter and, they had a variety of business meetings, business interests, and investments. So then we have another entity, and this is global.
Speaker 1: Udora Global Is the name of it. Named after the ship that Cecil Rhodes rode on, Eudora, e u d o r a.
Speaker 0: Eudora Global was a venture capital firm founded and operated by a, quote, trial attorney.
Speaker 1: Jeff Cooper.
Speaker 0: That's interesting they put that in quotes.
Speaker 1: I know. Jeff, because he's really a plaintiff's attorney, he got a lot of money from the Suspicious litigation gravy train, and he befriended Beau Biden in Delaware because Joey was blocking asbestos litigation reform in the He lives 40 minutes away from me in Illinois, in Edwardsville, Illinois. Jeff Cooper.
Speaker 0: Okay. So Cooper, the so called trial attorney, He's is operating this new venture called Eudora Global. Then Hunter and Schwerin, they received equity in that entity called Global in change for introducing this trial attorney to their contacts in China and India. Then on or about March 21, 2019, Hunter then gets a distribution about six $119,000 from Global via Skinny Atlas. Perfect.
Now financial support from the personal friend, and presumably, this is the Kevin Morris character you talked This
Speaker 1: is Kevin
Speaker 0: Morris. Okay.
Speaker 1: Let's put it this way. I'll tell you when I have doubts because I do have doubts on some identities in this, But so far, it's rock solid to the point where I'd bet my life on it. So Kevin Morris is this one.
Speaker 0: So from January through October 15, 2020, An entertainment lawyer, hereinafter called a personal friend, provided the defendant, Hunter, with substantial financial support, including approximately $200,000 to rent a lavish house on a canal in Venice, California, $11,000 in payments for his Porsche and other individual items. In total, Hunter had his personal friend Morris pay over $1,200,000 to third parties for Hunter's benefits over the month of January through October 2020. Man, that is a heck of a personal friend, man.
Speaker 1: Personal friend he met at a campaign Pain event for his daddy in the fall of 2019. It's disgusting.
Speaker 0: Amazing. So we have the next section talks about beautiful things, which was Hunter's memoir. They tell us in 2019, Hunter began writing a nonfiction memoir where he described his substance abuse and his addiction issues that was ultimately titled Beautiful Things. On November 25, 2019, Hunter then signed a contract with the publishing house. From January through October 2020, Hunter also received approximately $140,000 paid into his wife's bank account that was related to the book.
Speaker 1: Melissa Cohen.
Speaker 0: And that's curious why it would be into her account.
Speaker 1: I know and why they would name that in the indictment.
Speaker 0: Yeah. That is interesting why that is a little fact and tidbit they've included there saying, you know, maybe we we know what else is in the bank account, right is kind of where I'll go with that. Now they say Hunter had a legal obligation to file and pay his taxes, and so a lot of this I think is kind of boilerplate stuff. We'll just hit the highlights, but it says the US income tax system imposes on individuals the need to pay tax. We all know that unfortunately.
The US system allows reduction of taxable income for both businesses and non businesses. You have to do self assessments. That means taxpayers must tell the government what they think they owe. The system is also pay as you go, meaning the taxes must either be withheld from wages or paid over the year and you got to come up with an estimate and so on. The US system relies on the honesty and the integrity of individual taxpayers, which was asking a lot in this case, and while the IRS and while it audits some things, it can only do that to a tiny fraction of people.
We know taxes are due on April 15th. You got to make a due date. You can postpone those to October and get extensions and so on. You gotta file a form 10 40 and you gotta tell us what's in there. If you have a form 11 20, it works this way, and they say here in conclusion, okay, we all know that.
They tell us that here, Owasco, of which Hunter was the 100% owner was a c corporation that had to file a US corporate income tax return, the form 11/20, and had to pay taxes, and Hunter had a legal obligation to pay is on all his income, including income earned in Ukraine and from his service on Boris' board, fees generated by deal making with the Chinese private equity fund as well as income derived from his work as a lawyer and other sources.
Speaker 1: That Chinese private equity fund has not been named yet in this program. It's BHR.
Speaker 0: B h bar, and is that Bohai something?
Speaker 1: Harvest Rosemont. That's the full name.
Speaker 0: That's right.
Speaker 1: Harvest Rosemont rose and tons of information about that. We could go into a new show on that, but Kevin Morris now owns that 10%
Speaker 0: share.
Speaker 1: He gave it to his sugar brothers. So it's always Interesting. To ask. If Kevin Morris has given him liquid cash now, Hunter gave him the 10% share for undervaluation.
Speaker 0: Yeah. We know other people who've been prosecuted for allegedly doing that around the country as well? Yes. So next section is telling us, so we know Hunter's got all these, in a lot of different entities, money is being transacted around. We got James Biden's in the list.
We got Eric Sherwin. We got Rob Walker, bunch of different people name here, and they tell us that now that Hunter owed substantial individual income taxes in the years. We got 16, 17, 18, and 19. It tells the following is a summary of the self assessed taxes that Hunter reported that he owed and that he failed to timely pay. So it's not even the government saying that you owe this.
It's Hunter acknowledging I owe you this and I'm not paying it or I have not paid it. So you see here are the numbers, gross total income, we'll just hit the highlights, self assess tax due at the time of filing. So in 2016, teen. He said I owed 45 k. 17, he said he owed 581 k.
In 18, that went up to 620,000, then in 2019, he owed a 197,000, so that's a nice chunk of taxes. Now they say that Hunter knew that he had to file and pay these taxes, and because of his varied income streams and to facilitate the withholding of the payments and the taxes due to the IRS, Hunter formed Owasco, which was a c corporation in about 2006.
Speaker 1: Warren is the registered agent.
Speaker 0: Okay. So ES was there and
Speaker 1: He's the babysitter.
Speaker 0: Right.
Speaker 1: He comes in and says, we have a they don't say this, but basically situations, we have an f up Son, who needs to bring in some cash because he's a bag man. You play the role of businessman in this. Set up the companies. Do whatever. That's Eric
Speaker 0: Now they say that Owasco, the PC, the corporation's role, the sole purpose was to ensure that there was sufficient holdings from all the streams of Hunter's income to pay his taxes, like they created this for that reason. Now instead of receiving income directly into his personal bank account, the Hunter then directed the third parties to pay Owasco, which had its own bank account and any income owed to him. Owasco then used a payroll service to pay Hunter a salary out of the income that went there, and the payroll service made tax withholdings on behalf of Hunter, which it paid to the IRS, and then Hunter also made quarterly payments and payments with extensions to the arrest, all in anticipation of when Hunter filed his individual tax return. So he's kind of maneuvering things around, delaying stuff and making quarterly payments. Some payments are being made, it sounds
Speaker 1: And that payroll service, just for specificity sake, is ADP. It's the most common one. ADP based out of New Jersey.
Speaker 0: Okay. And so they're trying to comply with the rules. It's big entity. They're, you know, probably not doing anything fancy for him. He's just diverting funds away from them.
Now because Hunter's income varied from year to year. Hunter, in consultation with his Washington DC based accountant, have to call the DC accountant.
Speaker 1: That Firm is called Morgan Wingate.
Speaker 0: Okay. And then business associate 4, which was Biden. Right? Jimmy, James Biden, periodically adjusted his tax withholdings to ensure that he did not generate additional tax liabilities, and okay. So they're saying he consult with the accountant, and then he's also emailing the brother, like James Biden.
Right? He's saying, hey, what is this count as? How do I adjust this?
Speaker 1: Jimmy should be indicted.
Speaker 0: In a conspiracy with him to evade taxes, as you can see, and they know that. Like, yeah, that's his name right there. Amazing. So they've got those emails, and that's the president's bro and the president's son. Alright.
So Hunter and the president's bro, James, also created a stand alone bank count that they referred to as a tax account. Set up a tax account somewhere so you can't touch it. Alright? Just put your money in there.
Speaker 1: They literally have the impulse control of a golden retriever dog. Golden retriever dog. Retriever dog. Golden retriever dog. You have an impulse control of the golden retriever.
Speaker 0: Yeah. So they're just trying to skim up. You know, they read the book like Profit First or something. You know, you pay yourself first, so they went to like a Dave Ramsey seminar or something, and they cut the credit card up or the debit card on that account. So put all your money there.
He says, okay. Hunter is going to deposit all of his funds to pay taxes on anything he owed beyond the withholding, so the company withhold a specific amount and then they'll have some funds to actually pay this stuff. Now the arrangement meant that Hunter had to file an individual income tax return and on IRS form 10 40, where he reported the income he earned from Owasco and other sources and so that he could pay taxes on that income using the withholdings that Owasco had made and funds from that other separate tax account that they just established. Hunter also had to file a separate corporate income tax return for Owasco on form 11/20, and then he could pay taxes that it owed from Owasco's bank account. Now this structure generally functioned effectively until 2017 when Hunter, as detailed below, subverted it.
Speaker 1: One addendum to that really quickly, it's material to get but it's gonna come up at the later indictment or Later on in the indictment. That is technically true. This structure, if we're talking about a Wasko PC, but remember, Hunter in 2014 set up Rosemont Seneca Bohai with a heretofore unnamed business associate named Devin Archer to collect the Burisma fees. The Burisma fees should have went to a Glasgow PC, but they went to Rosemont, Seneca, Bohai. So I don't agree with number 30 in total.
He'd been subverting it since 2014 and that is why letting the statute of limitations run out is so damn unjust. It's still 2014, but I digress. Yeah.
Speaker 0: And then they could have charged him going back further or charged him earlier. I mean, and all this is now coming out here in 2023. Okay. So we see that there was some functionality here, you know, they kind of were kicking around taxes. Somebody at least had a conversation about taxes.
They set up another account. Irrespective though, they subverted it. So then irrespective of the Owasto PC structure and his standalone, they put this 1 in quotes quote tax account, like, okay, like, it's your whatever, like nice job, bro. We know what it is. Hunter knew that he had to file individual and corporate income tax returns and pay taxes on the income that he earned in 2016, 17, 18, and 19.
He had done so for tax years 14 and 15 preceding the scheme to not pay the taxes.
Speaker 1: That is the first sentence that I can Say with confidence, now your viewers can disagree or agree that that is materially wrong, and what do I base my statement off of? The IRS guys who investigated the case. The IRS whistleblower statements do not agree with this sentence at all, and I said it to their attorney. So this is not what Joe Ziegler said or Gary Shapley said at all. I would bracket that sentence.
Speaker 0: So you're saying that he did not pay taxes for the years 14 and 15.
Speaker 1: He didn't pay all of them. Joseph Ziegler to this day contends there's about Quarter of a1000000 of bereavement income that he never paid taxes on, and that's why he's so mad that he thinks Wise and Leslie Wolf let the statute of limitations run. The IRS can still civilly go after him and they should. They can't criminally, though.
Speaker 0: Interesting. Okay. Good details there. So they tell us that Hunter then timely filed after requesting an extension his 2014 individual tax return on a form 10 40 on October 9, 2015. They say that Hunter reported owing 239,000 in taxes and having already paid 246,000 to the IRS, he claimed he was entitled to a refund of just under $8,000.
Hunter did not report his income from Burisma on his 2014 form 10 40. So all the money that Hunter received from Burisma in 2014 went to a company here and after called ABC. Rosemont Seneca Bohai. Okay. So that's different than
Speaker 1: So call it it's Really r s b. That's what they called it. R s b, LLC. Domiciled in Delaware. The address was Devin Archer in New York City.
Speaker 0: And that's different than the other one, BHR. Rights. We have these different initials that are
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 0: Often a lot of the same initials. Yeah. So okay, so it's Rosemont Seneca Bohai and they're calling it a b So it was then deposited into its bank account. So RSB and its bank account were then owned and controlled by a business partner of Hunter, business associate 5. Devin Archer.
Devin Archer.
Speaker 1: 1000% certain on that.
Speaker 0: That's Devin Archer. Next sentence. And Devin Archer is the guy who we saw testify in front of, I think, Oversight and, you know, had an interview with Tucker and a bunch of things.
Speaker 1: Yeah. But they got a limited hangouts, but yes.
Speaker 0: Devin Archer was also a member of Verismo's board of directors, and so there you go. That's Hunter's bro. Right? I mean, they were kind of piling around a lot of the time. Hunter then receives transfers of funds from RSB, the bank account, and funds from The RSB bank account were then used to make investments on Hunter's behalf.
Sorry.
Speaker 1: There's a couple of the investments are in our dossier. 1 was a failed Tech fund in Hawaii called MBLOOM, run by Joey's commerce department deputy secretary named Donald Graves, Then run by Don Graves, g r a v e s. And look up mbloom, m b l o o m, and it totally blew up in the US tax Spare. Blew like $145,000 on this pet project that Hunter was involved with. In bloom.
Speaker 0: Perfect. Okay. So he's making these boneheaded investments on Hunter's behalf. Now because he owned ABC, a part of RSB, Devin Archer paid taxes on income that he and Hunter received from Burisma. Now starting in November, Hunter then directed his Burisma board fees to an Owasco PC bank account that he controlled.
So Devin is kind of covering for Hunter in a way, like paying taxes on his behalf, and Hunter apparently doesn't want that. He takes that money away from Burisma, puts it back into his bank account, so that he can take full control of it.
Speaker 1: The law, man. This is like my freaking piggy bank. Remember what Joey Says nobody f's with a Biden.
Speaker 0: That's right. Yeah, and we've seen emails from Hunter to Devin, and I think, you know, Hunter treated Devin, you know, like a groupie kind of in many emails. It felt like he was even when Devin was, I think, under some pressure, right, he was talking and exchanging text messages with Hunter and Hunter's just like deal with it. You gotta kinda fall on the sword for this, like, This
Speaker 1: is what patronizing, but it's ironic because Devin was much more handsome and charismatic. But Hunter knew that Devin was around Do the work, but Devin would have never got those opportunities had it not been for the Biden surname. That's why I think the interviews with Tucker are only half assed.
Speaker 0: It felt to me like Hunter was kind of exploiting him, and he kind of just wanted to be in a little bit of his aura to some degree, and so it's kind of a
Speaker 1: weird position. Evan was a willing whore in The FARA violating scheme.
Speaker 0: Right. Okay. So Hunter then, they say he timely filed after requesting an extension his 2015 individual tax return on form 10 40, did that in 2016, and Hunter at that time reported owing $820,000 in taxes, withholding 644,000, saying he owed the IRS $176,000. Now for 2015, he declared income he received he did declare the barisma income on the form that year from at least 2017 through April 2017, so a couple months in that year. Business associate for, which remind me, was James Biden and Jimmy and personal assistant one.
They provided Hunter with periodic updates of his cash flow and as outstanding liabilities, including various income tax liabilities.
Speaker 1: So this is Joanne Mayer. Joanne, m a y e r. Okay. Like John, Joanne Mayer.
Speaker 0: She is personal assistant one, and so she's presumably working for Hunter, for the family, for James.
Speaker 1: For Hunter. He's another baby like Eric. I mean, this is an f up. Right? He's on crack.
So he needs handlers to get to work on time and make sure Maisie's soccer games are attended haphazardly. Things like
Speaker 0: so they're sending him emails from April 2017 to September 2017, personal assistant one, which is mayor, she sent Hunter a quote weekly bill update saying, hey, you've got IRS liabilities, you've got other outstanding bills. Hunter controlled his finances and he directed James and personal assistant one to pay certain bills and not others. I'd pay this, don't pay that. Hunter routinely chose to pay personal expenses and not pay his taxes. Now further, beginning in or around May of 2017, Hunter began to make periodic $10,000 payments to the IRS to address his 2015 individual income tax liability.
And between May 2017, March 2018, he made 7 payments totaling $70, but made no further payments after March 2018. At that time, he still owed for the year 2015, $106,000. So then Hunter used the services of a DC accountant from January 1 until he died, the accountant, in June 2019. Bill Morgan of Morgan Wingate.
Speaker 1: Alright.
Speaker 0: So we got bill, and so bill is no longer
Speaker 1: We made a mistake. We didn't make a mistake in identification. We made a mistake in labeling. Jimmy is business associate 3, and is four. Right.
Speaker 0: Okay.
Speaker 1: So Jimmy's 3, Schwaren's 4. It changes nothing material other than labeling. We got the right people.
Speaker 0: Okay. So we'll Keep that in mind as we carry on. We say here in 2019, November, Hunter then engaged the services of an accounting firm in Los Angeles and California. It sounds like he's trying to find some professionals maybe to fix some of this stuff up.
Speaker 1: Edward White Company. Okay. Edward White is the name of the accounting practice.
Speaker 0: K. We'll mark that there. Then subsection e, they carry on. This is the government. They tell us that rather than pay his taxes, Hunter then spent 1,000,000 of dollars on an extravagant lifestyle, saying Hunter spent 1,000,000 extravagant lifestyle, saying Hunter spent 1,000,000 on extravagant lifestyle at the same time that he chose not to pay his taxes.
Hunter spent approximately $1,000,000 in 2016, 1,400,000 in 2017, 1,800,000 in 2018 and then only $600,000 in 2019. So he was on a pretty upward trajectory there, and then that got cut down by 60%. That's in 2019. From January through October 15th 2020, Hunter received more than $1,200,000 in financial support that was used to pay various personal expenses, but not any of his federal income tax liabilities. That was for the years 2016 to 19.
Now between 2016 and 2020, Hunter spent his money, here's the government writing, on drugs, escorts, courts, girlfriends, luxury hotels, rental properties, exotic cars, clothing, and other items of a personal nature. In short, everything but his taxes.
Speaker 1: In our dossier, 3 sections, business related crimes, sex related crimes, drug related crimes. And you can follow along as he mentioned, just a reminder, for free atbidenreport.com. Here's the Mac Daddy. This page 13 is the 1st time in a couple of years I've been proud of the feds. This took months of work.
Speaker 0: Let's get into it. Paragraph 38 says the following is a summary of the approximate expenditures that the defendant made instead of paying his taxes. Right? Hand caught in a cookie jar on that one. So summary of the approximate expenses made from Awasco PC and the defendant's bank accounts.
Gary, you want to walk us through some of the highlights, maybe anything you had zoomed in on?
Speaker 1: Yes. So number 1, Hunter retained Edward Weidt and company in part because unlike us, You know, I have a personal checking account Marco Polo does. When Marco Polo's board goes through our bank statements, we, like most mere mortals, Not a princeling, not a Biden. People do f with us. We classify each line item as subscriptions, Household.
Right? You classify expenses in your online banking software. Hunter's a princeling. He doesn't do that. So they hired Edward White to go through all of these different bank accounts, classify expenses, and then put them in these categories.
What I will say about the very 1st row, ATM cash with slash cash withdrawal. The breakup of these affects ones down the line in Terms of the classification. Meaning, a lot of times he paid for crack with cash for obvious reasons. Maybe the crack dealer doesn't have a bank account or he's unbanked. Maybe he doesn't wanna trace.
So these cash withdrawals are not normal. You do not see, for example, in 2018, he spent he got $772,000 in cash out of ATMs. In our dossier, we go through how Hunter had a arrangement with hookers Whereby he would send them a code, and Wells Fargo had this feature whereby the women didn't have to have his debit card to withdraw cash from the He'd send him a code. The hooker would grab the $800 with his code, and then come to his room. This is all laid out in the text message.
So 1st row ATM cash withdrawal, many vices are capitalized through this, the crack, the women, the smoking accessories. The next one is Payments of various women. This is government boring speak for pimps, hookers, other things. And again, just as we go through this, Robert, I just wanna let everybody know, this is not somebody who is lauded as a black sheep of the family. The US president said this is the smartest man he knows from A pure intellectual capacity.
So this man has been like this and from an intellectual capacity, smartest man the western world's leader knows.
Speaker 0: And flying around with him to all these events, staying at the White House. We saw, you know, back when Joe was VP, he was taking him around to China and different places like that, so it's very curious.
Speaker 1: Yes. And what is material and what I probably should've started off with is not just that he made these expenses From his business bank account. It's that he tried to write off some of these as legitimate business expenses. So to Hunter Biden, paying a Russian prostitute for Sex is a business expense. That's just something to keep him going in the nihilism of life.
That is obviously sarcastic. But Right. Here we have Clothing and accessories, $397 over a 4 year period.
Speaker 0: Let's hit the total numbers on that. So, like, over various women was 4400 in 2016 went up to 138,000 in 2017. 2018 was up to and 83,000, 2019 back down to 156,000, and the total is $683,000, right, over the 4 years. So, you know, 6 figures basically per year.
Speaker 1: 2020 is about $35,000. So the Bidens are not like you and me. They're special as Great Gatsby would say. Right. Clothing accessories, 785 in 2016, 113, 15153.
We have multiple Seats in our dossier and on the laptop, spending $65100 on a sport coat at an Italian luxury wear. And again, he's not making these fees legitimately. I said this on War Room earlier this morning. This indictment deals with what happened to the money once it got in the pot. Right?
It'd be one thing if Hunter was a legitimate businessman and the Pot was filled with cash through legal means
Speaker 0: and
Speaker 1: then bent like this. No. This cash was coming from Chicom operatives, and it was being Been on hookers and blow at clubs.
Speaker 0: Right. And Joe Biden, right, and the Biden family, they have to be aware of some of these behaviors. They have to understand where the money is coming from. Right? And it feels to me like Joe Biden is enabling that.
Right? He's exploiting it. He has to know that it's happening or
Speaker 1: Exactly. Ben Shapiro says a lot of dumb things. Probably the dumbest in 2022, he said that from all available evidence, Joe Biden seems to be a very good father. That's what Ben Shapiro said. Couldn't be farther from the truth.
Joey knows his son is an f up. He knows he's an addict, and yet he wants him for the cash. Hunter was the bag man for over So Joey is the type of father to put his addict son in situations with loose women, foreign cash, and no oversight. What could go wrong?
Speaker 0: So we have a lot of numbers here, food and groceries, adult entertainment. Let's see what that one was looking like. So wow. Okay. So, yeah, $4,000 was where that started, and then it went up to 56,000, then up to $100, and then back down to 27,000, so that totaled about 188,000 over the 4 years, which was, I think, yeah, less than that was more expensive than his legal fees, so It's true.
Speaker 1: We're talking to give some clarity or granularity rather, adult entertainment is strip clubs, sex cam websites, pornography sites. Remember, the US president Still has an active Pornhub account, and he uploaded videos of himself to his Pornhub account. That's why this lawsuit they have against us is So stupid. Hunter lost any copyright or anything else when he uploaded his own porn videos to public Pornhub channels. R h b east Is his username, r h b east.
Speaker 0: Okay. That's great. So, yeah, I didn't realize it was still active.
Speaker 1: It's still active now.
Speaker 0: I did I locked
Speaker 1: it down a little Yeah. He locked it down circa October 2020, but the content is still up there. And some people have actually before he locked it down, some hilarious users, and we have this in our report commented on several of his videos. Smartest man the US president knows. Joey said he's done nothing wrong.
Speaker 0: Amazing. Okay. Well, Joe, you know, it's gonna be curious to see what Joe says about all this, and, you know, there's only He's
Speaker 1: in Malibu right now. Joey is at a fundraiser in a couple of hours in his Son's hometown. So I wonder if Hunter's gonna be there.
Speaker 0: And That's curious.
Speaker 1: Our long smoking bank roller, Kevin Morris.
Speaker 0: So Joe just happens to be flying out into California where this same indictment just dropped from his US attorneys out there. Interesting. Okay. So we've got advisors, home improvement, childcare, health care, all this stuff. Right?
So they're saying, all said and done, grand total of this $4,900,000, all that money went out. None none of them went to the government, right. There's no line item of the government that is here getting paid their tax money, so that's a chunk of fees. Was there anything else that was worth zooming in
Speaker 1: Well, I just wanna reiterate that a large portion of these were expensed. So for example, he had a biz Uh-oh. And he said that was a business expense. Again, normal humans don't act like that. This isn't the case of an addict who was just doing degenerate things.
Hunter was on the board of Burisma For the entirety of the conduct named in this, except the final 6 months of 2019. Think about that. He was a Ukrainian energy executive while he Spent about $165,000 on at strip clubs.
Speaker 0: And there was that one story, I think, didn't he try to I think a $75,000 something like that sex club, you know, in
Speaker 1: the big like spends $10,000 entry fee to a sex club he got kicked out of For grabbing a woman's behind, and on the wire transfer, it said golf membership.
Speaker 0: Nice.
Speaker 1: $10,000 to a sex The US president's son got kicked out of a sex club.
Speaker 0: Couldn't even pass muster there. Alright. So they carry on and they tell us that in addition to all that, right, we've got now huge gobs of money that are going to not taxes, that are problematic funds. They tell us that Hunter also then late filed his taxes when he was facing contempt charges. So he's kind of delaying this stuff.
Right? He's taking money out of his bank accounts, diverting funds, bypassing, withholding and all the things, they tell us that suddenly in 2019 and early 2020, Hunter became embroiled in 2 civil lawsuits. Now as part of the lawsuits, he had to produce financial records, including his tax returns, and these lawsuits forced him to ultimately file the returns for 17/18. Beginning in May 2019, person 1 brought a paternity in a child support action in Arkansas state court against Hunter.
Speaker 1: London Roberts, And I was an expert witness for her and her attorneys.
Speaker 0: London Roberts. That's right. And Garrett Ziegler, you were in court there in Arkansas.
Speaker 1: Yes. With Hunter Biden.
Speaker 0: With Hunter. Wilde. I'm sure that was a a fun scene. Now in June 2019, he says the defendant's ex wife brought a motion Hunter's ex wife brought a motion to enforce a marital separation agreement between herself and Hunter in the superior court of the District of Columbia because Hunter had stopped making spousal support payments and refused to provide financial records, including his tax returns that were necessary to calculate the amount of spousal support that he owed per his agreement with his ex wife.
Speaker 1: Kathleen Buhle, b u h l e, hailing from Chicago.
Speaker 0: And He's married now to Cohen?
Speaker 1: Melissa Cohen. Yes. And, Kathleen and him was a shotgun marriage because she got pregnant with Naomi, And they married Kathleen got married 5 months pregnant with Hunter in Chicago. And at one point in time, the initial spousal support was thirty 7 grand a month that was supposed to go to Kathleen, 37 grand a month.
Speaker 0: And then he stopped making those payments, so then she files in DC. In 2019, Hunter then then continually stonewalled the production of the financial records through which person 1, which was again was Roberts. Right?
Speaker 1: Yes. London Robert.
Speaker 0: And Hunter's ex wife, and the court sought to ascertain the financial situation and the ability to pay. So zooming in, Hunter's now got these 2 civil suits, 1 from ex wife won from baby mama, right?
Speaker 1: Mhmm.
Speaker 0: Now Hunter then, the demands for Hunter's tax returns steadily increased, escalating then to November 2019. That month, Hunter then hired California accountants to prepare his late and his unfiled individual income tax turns and a corporate return for the 2017 and in 2018 years.
Speaker 1: That's the same month he met Kevin Morris.
Speaker 0: Same month he meets Kevin Morris. I'm trying to think about the political timeline as well. Right? Joe's probably thinking about running around this time.
Speaker 1: Joe is running. Joe announced in April of 2019. So he's
Speaker 0: been on script
Speaker 1: for 6 months.
Speaker 0: Okay.
Speaker 1: Hunter meets Kevin Morris at a fundraiser at Alyssa Milano's house. And the lawsuit from London, the mother of his child is filed in May of 2019. So all this is coming to a head, and here cometh The caveman.
Speaker 0: Yeah. And so subsequently then, the Arkansas court where you were issued an order that Hunter had until January 16, 2020 to produce his individual income returns from 17 and 18. In DC, the superior court likewise ordered Hunter to produce the same returns by January 17, 2020. Now Hunter missed both deadlines, prompting counsel in Arkansas and in DC to move for contempt. Now if Hunter were to be found in contempt, either court could incarcerate him for his failure to comply with the court orders.
On January 21, 2020, Arkansas issued an order that Hunter appear and show cause why he should not be held in contempt. After Hunter enter into a temporary child support agreement with London, the court continued the hearing on the motion for contempt and gave Hunter until March 1, 2020 to provide the missing records, including 17 and 18 in the income returns. On or about February 18, 2020, Hunter then late filed his tax form. On the 2017 form, Hunter reported 1,900,000 in taxable income and 581,000 in tax due and owing, but Hunter chose not to pay any of his outstanding 2017 tax in February of 2020. Now that same day, Hunter also late filed his 2018 form 10 40.
And on the 2018 form 10 40, the defendant reported one point 68,000,000 in taxable income and 620,000 in taxes due and owing. The defendant, Hunter, again chose not to pay any of his outstanding 2018 tax liability when he late filed his 2018 form. So he's filing and filing and filing and not paying any taxes. Now on June 12th, Hunter again late filed his 2016 form reporting 1,200,000 and reporting a $45,000 tax liability. Again, Hunter chose not to pay, and so we see numerous years where he is not paying.
Hunter then, he had the funds. They say, Hunter, You're good. We're back. We just wrapped up the years, so we just finished the years. We know that he had several different years where he was late paying and he owed money, but he wasn't paying the money that was owed when he was making the filings.
Well, how
Speaker 1: come money comes in, paying for hookers and blood. Top of 16.
Speaker 0: Top of 16. It's a lot more fun to pay that stuff for him than it is to pay your taxes. So you can see where his priorities were. So they say that he also had funds in 2017, in 2018, 19, and twenty, they say as described more and below, each year in which he failed to pay his taxes, we know he had sufficient funds available to pay some or all, literally all of his outstanding taxes when they were due, but Hunter chose not to pay them. Notably, writes the government, in 2020, Hunter well after he had regained his sobriety in 2020, and when he finally filed his outstanding 16, 17, 18 forms, Hunter did not direct any payments towards his tax liabilities for each of those years while his dad's the president, you know.
That was in 2020, but daddy's about to become president. So at the same time, Hunter spent large sums to maintain his lifestyle from January through October, and in that period, he received financial support from a personal friend, that's Kevin Morris, totaling $1,200,000. The financial support included 100 of 1,000 in dollars in payments for, among other things, housing, media, relations, accountants, lawyers and his Porsche. For example, they say Hunter spent $17,500 each month, totaling approximately $200 from January through October of 2020, also spent on a lavish house on a canal now in Venice Beach, California and saying thus, Hunter's practice of tax noncompliance in 17 and 18 where the IRS stood as the last creditor to be paid persisted into the later tax years, and the government doesn't like it when they don't get their money. So that is the chunk of it, and I wanna be cognizant of your time.
You wanna hit some of these counts?
Speaker 1: Yes. Absolutely. Keep going. I have at least 10, Only 15 more minutes.
Speaker 0: Okay. So we'll see what we can get to. We got count 1. Now the grand jury realludges everything that we just said. Right?
So everything in there is gonna be applicable to rest of what we read as the baseline, the base layer, then they're gonna zoom in and charge him with specific offenses. So the grand jury go ahead.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I need to talk about this standing up, but you're the attorney. I am not. So maybe take the audience through. These are Leo Weiss and Derek Hines in front of maybe a dozen citizens of LA County. In an open courtroom, there is a judge present.
Correct?
Speaker 0: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And they're taking him through evidence probably on his PowerPoint screen, and that's the setting. So, you know, you can indict a ham sandwich. That's always the saying. You can't really Right. Anybody could be indicted for anything if the jury is ridiculous.
But all of these things that we're talking about, this is not a normal indictment because of the laptop. Right? So I just wanna get that across and have you ever I can't recall your exact CB, maybe you have more color on the process of a grand jury and calling 1 and everything else.
Speaker 0: Well, I've never been a prosecutor, so I've never led a grand jury. That's something that the government does, but Of course,
Speaker 1: but in your discovery process, you've seen probably many grand jury transcripts, Right. For the dependents you had.
Speaker 0: I have. I've seen transcripts and I've submitted filings to sort of nudge my way into grand jury proceedings. You know, grand jury proceedings are secretive and they're, you know, really under the dark of night. It's really hard to get stuff. Even here in Arizona, when we would get transcripts and pull the transcripts we have to turn them back in.
You know, it's all very secretive and protective to protect the integrity of the grand jury process. But from, you know, from the government's perspective, you know, they have a lot of leeway. They've got, you know, the capability to present what they think is gonna stick and they can make their decision, the grand jury. It it resembles kind of a a jury proceeding like a trial, but a mini trial where the government is presenting and the defense is not there. And so there are some mechanisms you know, what was interesting in this case, and I still don't know the details on this, there are some mechanisms by which a defense can fight their way into the grand jury, or at least here in Arizona, we had a process where there's a form of a letter that you can submit to the grand jury, basically, you know, pitching your case as to why there's not probable cause here to bring these charges.
Now this is a very preliminary stage of the case. They're not having to prove somebody's guilty here, just that there's enough cause to indict them and go to the next step, and so you might you know, the other problem is
Speaker 1: the evidentiary standard, perhaps, you can enlighten us? For conviction is beyond a reasonable doubt.
Speaker 0: Probable cause, essentially, is where you're bat or just enough to file it. The prosecutors presenting to the grand jury. It's a probable cause standard. They meet that standard, and it's enough that the charge can move forward. So think about the other parallel way that this works.
So people get indicted in 2 ways. 1 through a grand jury, 1 through a direct complaint. A direct complaint is when we've seen these, like, an FBI special agent will also write a search warrant in an affidavit, and they'll justify their criminal charges. That's because that officer has done an investigation. They've analyzed the case.
They've decided that there is enough cause here to file a direct complaint, and then goes to
Speaker 1: signed by that has to be signed by a judge
Speaker 0: that is sworn off on by it's a witness. The officer is a witness. The prosecutor is taking that witness as evidence and then wearing it on a complaint and then the complaint goes in front of the court. When that happens, what we're trying to do is protect the defendant against unreasonable charges without cause. If you can just charge somebody and put them through the process of being indicted or being charged with a crime, there are already penalties associated with criminal charge, even if you've not been found guilty of anything yet.
So we give the defense an opportunity to challenge an indictment or to challenge a direct complaint, and in a direct complaint format, what we would do is actually request a preliminary hearing and you'd have a trial, like a mini trial to establish probable cause at that outset and that would result in bringing witnesses in, right, a preliminary hearing through a direct complaint is where you bring witnesses in and it's actually like a miniature trial, and we just covered one of these, forget what case it was, but relatively recently, but an indictment bypasses all of that, right? An indictment is the government just taking it to a grand jury, which is done under cover, you can't see that, and then if the grand jury indicts, right, they think there's enough probable cause to bring the charges forward, and then you don't get the right to a preliminary hearing now you've been indicted.
Speaker 1: Yes, And this is baked into the bill of rights. Right? The founders believed that it's gonna be harder for more people to be corrupt. Right? That's why you have to be convicted by a jury of your peers.
To me, this is so beautiful it makes my hair stand up. Because by nature, my personal disposition, And I know this is gonna sound weird to you because this is essentially me being on the prosecutorial side, but by nature, I'm like you. My disposition is protecting defendant rights, And don't make the government not harass people. And making me a high bar, that's why I'm so mad they raided James O'Keefe's apart. They did not have probable Cause and they put a secret gag order on Google to make Google not tell them that they were searched.
Their emails, that is. So I want everybody to listen to this that even if you like Hunter Biden personally or hate me personally, we wanna be fair to all. And the reason why this is so nuts is because in most indictments In front of a grand jury, we don't have this evidence. So I think that's essential to point out.
Speaker 0: I absolutely agree with the presumption of innocence. I think that these safeguards are really important. I think due process is very important and that's why you'll hear on this channel us defending the Trump trials very aggressively, because I feel like many of those were violations of those very same principles, but as you mentioned, what we've been observing in this Hunter case from day 1, and you don't you know, it's not just us speculating. You wrote 600 plus pages about it in the book at marcopolousa.org. You can get your copy.
And what we saw from the DOJ was, in my opinion, a massive double standard of justice and maybe you can, you know, opine on this, but there was even some evidence, I think, that maybe came out from the whistleblowers, the IRS whistleblowers that said that The DOJ was going to try to not charge Hunter at all, not even diversion like the deal that he was going to get that was botched, but they were gonna actually give him a better deal, right, without even presenting any of this to anybody.
Speaker 1: Precisely. And that is why Shapley, especially, Shapley came forward on his own accord. Ziegler and Shapley are both commendable, but they're not equal. Shapley came forward on his own accord. Ziegler responded to a letter from the congress and then cooperated.
But Shapley if it weren't for Shapley, none of that would have happened, and Ziegler said that. He said that The courage displayed by Shapley inspired him to come forward because he knew this was a sham. So Shapley comes forward and says, hey. Look. This is a miscarriage of justice.
There's unequal application of the law. If his name were Hunter Smith, he would have been indicted back in 2020. And, you know, and Hunter gets his day in court. Me and you are never gonna argue, and this is like the thing To your normal viewers, but we want Hunter to get his day in court. I want Abby Lowell up there with the PowerPoint looking at the Venmo transactions.
I want Abby Lowell to defend a $1500 artwork payment to a woman named Soldelina Tolentino. I would love Abby Lowell to do that. I'm being a little bit facetious. But if you were a defense attorney, this indictment is nuts. If you were to call on to represent this defendant, you'd get sweaty palms Because this is not a normal indictment.
Speaker 0: It's a tough case. I mean, if I was representing Hunter, I would have done everything in my power to get him to take that plea deal back at the original outset. When we were reading through that transcript here, I was shocked at how derailed the whole thing got, and I was even shocked that his defense attorneys were being as kind of ornery as they were because I think that if they would have just squeezed this whole thing through, Even if there were some questionable errors on in the actual structure of the deal, Hunter would have had a much better opportunity to claim immunity from further prosecution, and I think he have had an argument that all of these charges were invalid and precluded based upon his prior deal.
Speaker 1: Precisely. If they just would've said that, Let's say they agree to the plea deal and then they indict him again because in the plea deal, the government said no. This investigation's ongoing. Hunter could always argue that they were later indicting him on something Covered like you said by that statement of facts. So I think they realize this, and that's why Chris Clark and Latham and Watkins got the boot.
And now it's an Abby Lowell with just their local counsel Bartholomew Dalton. And get this. This is new. Cutter's gonna have to get local counsel in California for Abby Little. Remember, let's see if it's The same guy suing me.
Paul Salvaty, s a l v a t y, partner Winston Strawn in LA's office, Is the lead counsel for our case because he's local in the central district. So it hasn't I'm watching court listener every 5 minutes. Derek Hines just made his entry of appearance, but we'll see who the local council is on the criminal side for Hunter. It'd probably be somebody at Winston and Strawn, but who knows? And then Ali will do pro hack v c a.
But I've gotta run. This was so fun because you and I are nerds, and I want you to look into our case. We owe a response by Friday, 7 days from now in the central district, same district. And guess what? He may be arraigned when I'm out there.
I'm heading out to California next week just to be with the attorneys. And I would love for him to be arraigned that day because we're gonna get billboard trucks for the 2nd time this year, and we'll have him driving around the courthouse When his ass is brought up there, the Secret Service in tow. And the judge is not a crazy. The judge is a Trump appointed judge. You know the judge in our case, Robert?
Gave money to the plaintiff's Daddy gave Joey $2,000 in 2020. Wow. He also was appointed by Joey. So the plaintiff's daddy appointed the judge over our case, And the judge's ex wife is the current secretary of labor appointed by Joe. So you can help us everybody can help us out by going to fightbiden.org.
Take it off on your taxes before 31st. It's a c three. Fightbiden.org, and I wanna come back on your program. I appreciate
Speaker 0: Barrett, you're amazing, man. You're doing really, really impressive and great work and Thank you. We're we're appreciative of your time.
Speaker 1: Thank you. And I know sobriety guides your words and Sobriety guys mind. We never wanna accuse Hunter of something he doesn't do, but this is all real. It's hair raising stuff. This is nuts.
And Joey was the chairman. You know why I call him that? Because Hunter called him that. He said to Rob Walker, James Gilliard, and Tony Bobolinski that my chairman says it's an emphatic no. So Joey's Hunter's Chairman, everybody should remember that.
Speaker 0: And it's all in the family, man, and there's been a collusion to cover this whole thing up and to just sweep it under the rug, but you are doing incredible work to shine I will work to shine the spotlight on it, my friend, and thank
Speaker 1: you for that one. All the day. It's a group effort. Thank you.
Speaker 0: Alright, Garrett. My friend, good luck out there. We'll talk to you later, my friend. Be well. Let's go back to the rest of the indictment and wrap it up and see what else we've got here.
So we've got count 1. As you can see here, the defendant earned a substantial income in 2016, telling us over the course of 1016, he got $1,580,000 in gross income, and so we're gonna wrap this up and then we've got a couple clips because we've got reaction from some other people. Hunter actually has a reaction. Biden avoids the question. We've got an oversight statement coming out and we've got an IRS whistleblower statement coming out.
So we'll just wrap up with the indictment and see what else is here before we go into that other stuff, telling us that Hunter had a legal obligation to file the US individual tax return, saying for tax year team, anyone under 65 filing jointly, they or who made more than this, they had to file by a certain time, and here, he knew. They say he knew he had to pay taxes. So in 2017, business associate four and personal assistant one, a frequently told Hunter that he owed taxes. Okay. April, associate 4 forwarded Hunter an email from the accountant.
It says it looks like Owasco is going to owe 52 $1,000, Hunter. It looks like you're gonna individually owe $26,000, Hunter. In 2017, the DC accountant also used information, Also told Hunter, said you're responsible for signing and mailing your returns. We told you. Here, his assistant also said or Hunter responded to his assistant and to business associate 4.
Hunter said, you know, I just saw last week the unmarked envelope. The office requires signatures for my taxes. I wish someone had told me, but it's my fault for thinking of that or for having ignored an email that I'm sure Eon of you sent. There is a large envelope in the office sitting to the door, which requires 50 signatures, including my ex wife's. That sounds like a crackhead email to me.
Now Hunter then brought the 2016 form to his ex wife, asked her to sign it. She said, yeah. I'll sign it. After reviewing the document with her accountant, so she signed it. Then Hunter's ex wife texted him, said that their unfiled tax returns were in the trunk of your car, but the tax returns were not filed.
Then we see that he owes taxes for 2016, didn't pay those. He told him he owes $26,000 there, didn't pay him, but he had the funds to do it and chose not to. He spent approximately $187,000 on personal expenses rather than pay the 40,000 that he owed. So he had 187,000, but he couldn't pay the 45. So they say we're charging him with a crime for that.
That's count 1. Count 2, the course of 2017, same thing. He earned a bunch of money, 2,300,000. He did not timely file. He knew he had to pay.
People were telling him, personal assistant too said you owe a lot of money, her words in quotes. You owe a lot of money. So he set up a call between Hunter and the DC countant, and they prepared his tax returns and they gave it to him and they emailed him. They said, Hunter, on October 12th, they sent him an email saying you owe $600,000 and 204,000 in income taxes. But then in October, instead of responding to the accountant, Hunter, that his ex wife back.
He said that I can't make my alimony payment to you because the wire came back due to insufficient funds, and, you know, tuitions, alimony, taxes, and rent. Jesus is what Hunter said. Alimony, taxes. Okay. They put that in bold.
Like, he knows that he had to pay his taxes, but he didn't pay it. Hunter had not paid his 2017 taxes when he sent this text. Didn't pay but he knew he had to. He also emailed someone emailed him again saying you got to pay your taxes, file your returns as soon as possible. Then the 2017 returns are still on file.
You need to get 2017 filed so we can try to work out a payment schedule. Now in December of 2018, Hunter texted his ex wife. He said, I have no money. I'm waiting on a few things. When I can pay the taxes, I'll pay the taxes.
In the meantime, I can't pay her alimony and all the girls' expenses. Then he texted personal assistant too in November, asked him to send her all the autopay expenses and the payroll breakdown. She sent him another email, and then his ex wife texted him and he told his ex wife, my tax returns aren't completed. I have no prepared tax returns to send now. He had a duty to pay his $585,000 in taxes, but didn't pay it, and rather than pay his taxes, he spent 1,000,000 of dollars on extravagant lifestyles.
That's count 2. We got count 3. Similarly here, he made 2,300,000, and you get the rest of the pattern here. Okay. Count 4, he made 2,800,000, 2,100,000, not paying his taxes, got a bunch of money from Barisma in 2019, 39,000 there, 40,000 here, and he instead spent 1,000,000 of dollars on an extravagant lifestyle.
He spent more than 1,800,000, including 772,000 in cash withdrawals, three thousand to payments to women, 151,000 for other things, and we know those numbers as well. And so you see count 5, he received 2,100,000. Count 6, He hired accountants. He had extensive business travel that he claimed, but turns out that's not true. He specifically described his stays in his book now, so they're going through his book.
They're saying, you know, Hunter talked a lot about his book by the way. Private rentals, he said, I stayed in 1 place until I got tired of it. I moved on with my merry band of crooks, creeps and outcasts. Availability drove some of the moves. Impulsiveness drove others.
A sample itinerary says Hunter in his crack book says I left the Chateau Marmont First time for an Airbnb in Malibu. When I couldn't reserve it for longer than a week, I returned to West Hollywood and the Jeremy Hotel. There were then stays at the Sunset Tower, 60 Beverly Hills, Hollywood Roosevelt, another Airbnb in Malibu and the Hollywood Hills, then back to the Chateau, then the nomad downtown. The guys, you know, on crack all over the place. Then he says their stripper girlfriends invited their stripper girlfriends who invited their boyfriends.
They drink the entire minibar, and we go crazy. So the defendant did not write that he conducted any business on any of those hotels. They weren't doing deals there, and so he needed to pay his taxes. He failed to identify all personal expenses. The defendant met with the countenance in person, and they stayed at Borgata, they stayed at Virgin America and Los Angeles flights, $43,000 at the Chateau Marmont Hotel, 7,000 for Airbnb, 8,000 for John Hancock, paid to John Hancock for his personal life insurance.
The general ledger also was $11,000 in payments, $975 for the crutch card and a lot. Now he said he falsely claimed that money paid to women with whom he had personal relationships was wages. K. So he lied about it. He was paying hookers.
He said, no, those were my employees. Showed that he paid $86,000 in wages, but he knew that it was a false deduction. He engaged in little to no business activity, but instead, he provided health care benefits to 3 women who he had romantic and sexual relationships with and a 4th woman who is related to one of these women. He's like, yeah. No.
I'll put you on my health care. Yeah. Put your sister on there too. These payroll expenses were treated as business expenses on his form and so he deducted it from his taxes. Now person 1, which is London, as Garrett told us, described the above as bringing the paternity suit against the defendant who had been engaged in a romantic relationship, and there's a lot more here.
So you can see he falsely identified personal expenses as business deductions. Here, what did he spend? $1200. He got an airline ticket to fly an exotic dancer from LA to New York. You know, I'll buy your plane ticket.
He got $38100 as as a business expense for a Lamborghini. Then he paid $44100 to a hotel, $11,000 to another hotel, 11,000 to another hotel, 95 to another one, Kimpton. London West, 43100 to Caesars Palace. Look at all these, man. He circled a 275 dinner with his girlfriend as a business expense.
All said and done, a 100 travel expenses, $134,000, and he just wrote them all off, and all of it was not counted for. So you can see, they say in truth, Hunter used the business line of credit to pay for all sorts of stuff, and none of it was legitimate. Also paid to daughters of people. The categories of payments were all wrong, and he knowingly filed and signed the false tax returns, fraudulent documents being submitted to the government. Count 7, same thing.
Count 8, same thing. He caused to be filed a declaration that he said was true and he knew it was not true. He did not believe that it was true. Those were hookers, not employees. He earned a ton of money and he continued this charade for a long time.
Those Are the charges this went in front of a grand jury. The 4 persons signed off on it and found that there was enough cause to bring the case against him, and so this is the full indictment, 56 pages, much of it detailed by our good friend Garrett Ziegler at marcopolousa.org, where you can get a copy of the Hunter Biden report, the report on the Biden laptop, and they could use your support with a donor or with a purchase or something because they're facing some pretty monstrous people on the other side. And so we, of course, will be here continuing to cover the Hunter Biden saga and more, my friends. We look forward to having you subscribe.
