Mingling on the House floor after his State of the Union address, Biden spoke with Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., while Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg looked on. Bennet said he had just returned from Jordan and encouraged the president to "keep doing what you're doing on the humanitarian stuff" regarding the Israel-Gaza war.

Biden then appeared to say, adding "don't repeat this" to the group, "I told him, Bibi [Netanyahu,]… you and I are going to have a ‘come to Jesus’ moment." Blinken chuckled at the comment; the term "come to Jesus" tends to refer to a moment where someone has a moment of major realization.

An aide or agent near Biden appeared to warn him there was a camera lingering nearby, and Biden then said, "I’m on a hot mic here. Good. That’s good." He added to Blinken he would talk to him later.

Special Counsel Annihilates Hunter Biden's Motion To Dismiss In Scathing Response

https://www.zerohedge.com/poli...idens-motion-dismiss

Last month Hunter Biden's legal team filed a motion to dismiss his tax charges, claiming among other things that his own father's DOJ has "upped the ante" against him in a politically motivated case of "selective and vindictive prosecution" in order to do Donald Trump's bidding.

"This case follows a nearly six-year record of [the Justice Department] changing its charging decisions and upping the ante on Mr. Biden in direct response to political pressure and its own self-interests," Hunter's attorneys wrote in the Feb. 20 filing.

They also wanted "salacious" portions of Biden's personal expenditures to be redacted, claiming they are "meant to depict Mr. Biden as irresponsible, frivolous, and otherwise of questionable character and integrity."

Weiss hits back:

Fast forward nearly three weeks, and Special Counsel David Weiss just annihilated Hunter's entire filing in a scathing response. It's a fun read.

[T]he defendant concocts a conspiracy theory that the prosecution has “upped the ante” to appease politicians who have absolutely nothing to do with the prosecution and are not even members of the current Executive Branch.

...

"[T]o state an obvious fact that the defendant continues to ignore, former President Trump is not the President of the United States.

The defendant fails to explain how President Biden or the Attorney General, to whom the Special Counsel reports, or the Special Counsel himself, or his team of prosecutors, are acting at the direction of former President Trump or Congressional Republicans, or how this current Executive Branch approved allegedly discriminatory charges against the President’s son at the direction of former President Trump and Congressional Republicans."

Hunter made millions, lied to his accountants, and "chose to commit serious tax crimes"

Under the "factual background" section of the response, Weiss says that Hunter "engaged in a four-year scheme not to pay at least $1.4 million in federal taxes."



Meanwhile, Hunter "willfully failed to pay his 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 taxes, despite having access to funds to pay some or all of these taxes," and "Despite receiving $1.2 million in financial support from a friend to maintain his lifestyle, the defendant did not make payments towards his tax obligations."

Hunter again lied to his accountants in 2020.

"For example, the defendant falsely claimed extensive business travel in 2018 during a period in which he later described his crack cocaine use as “twenty-four hours a day, smoking every fifteen minutes, seven days a week."

The defendant lied to his accountants by claiming as business expenses $43,696 in stays at the Chateau Marmont with his “merry band of crooks, creeps, and outcasts.”



Weiss notes that Hunter "earned millions of dollars in income between years 2016 and 2017," for which he "performed very little actual work for the $7 million in income he was paid during this period."

Hunter "spent nearly $5 million on personal expenses to live an extravagant lifestyle instead of paying his taxes."

Serious Gun Crimes

Weiss then notes that Hunter's crimes "were not limited to tax violations."

"In 2018, he chose to purchase a gun, he chose to lie on background check paperwork by stating he was not addicted to drugs, and he certified that his answers on the paperwork were true, when in fact, he had lied about his addiction."

We also learn that Hunter lied about his legal interactions and negotiations with the DOJ - such as claiming that a plea agreement was approved to handle the gun charge, when in fact it was not.

"The defendant incorrectly claims that DOJ “proposed a non-prosecution agreement for the gun and tax charges, even though DOJ had already determined the charges should not be brought.”

Hunter also claimed that the DOJ "inexplicably demanded" that he plead guilty to felonies with jail time. Not true, according to Weiss:



The rest of the filing, which can be read here, shreds Hunter's various other claims and defenses, while Weiss accuses Hunter's legal team of attempting "to transform a seemingly bland set of plea discussions into a conspiracy theory.

https://storage.courtlistener....cacd.907806.37.0.pdf



In closing, Weiss asks that Hunter's motion to dismiss be "denied in its entirety."

Biden blames ‘eavesdropping’ media after Netanyahu needs ‘come to Jesus’ moment hot-mic snafu


WASHINGTON — President Biden was caught saying on a hot mic Thursday evening that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu needed a “come to Jesus” talk about the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip.

The president, 81, made the awkward comment about the Jewish state’s head of government while mingling with lawmakers following his State of the Union address — asking Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) to keep what he said confidential.

“I told him, ‘Bibi’ — and don’t repeat this, but [I said] ‘You and I are going to have a come to Jesus—’,” Biden began as an aide rushed over to stop him from saying more, exclaiming “Sir!” and whispering in his ear.

“I’m on a hot mic here,” Biden said out loud after the aide conveyed his message, adding sarcastically, “Good. That was good.”

Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg stood nearby, and it was unclear whether they overheard the remark.

The exchange with Bennet followed other candid comments in the aftermath of the speech, such as Biden quipping to Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) after he extolled the president’s remarks as evidence of his mental fitness, “I kinda wish sometimes I was cognitively impaired.”

When asked about the comment on Friday, Biden tried to plead ignorance, telling reporters as he left the White House for a campaign trip to Philadelphia, “I didn’t say that in the speech.”

After a reporter clarified that they were asking about the comment made “after the speech,” the president groused, “You guys eavesdropping on things.”

Biden gave early support for Netanyahu’s invasion of Gaza, but he has been repeatedly heckled as “Genocide Joe” during public remarks and dogged by protest votes in Democratic primary contests.

Biden has been increasingly critical of Netanyahu’s management of the Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip to drive out Hamas terrorists responsible for the Oct. 7 surprise attack that killed about 1,200 people, including dozens of Americans.

In the State of the Union, Biden announced plans for the US military to build a temporary humanitarian pier in Gaza and publicly warned Israeli forces that more assistance needed to get into the Palestinian enclave.

“Israel has a right to go after Hamas,” the president said, adding that the jihadist group could end the fighting by releasing its hostages, “laying down arms, and surrendering those responsible for October 7.”

However, Biden also claimed Israel must bear an “added burden because Hamas hides and operates among the civilian population like cowards — under hospitals, daycare centers, and all the like.

“Israel also has a fundamental responsibility, though, to protect innocent civilians in Gaza … Israel must allow more aid into Gaza and ensure humanitarian workers aren’t caught in the crossfire,” the president added.

Addressing Netanyahu and the rest of the Israeli leadership from the House rostrum, Biden intoned: “Humanitarian assistance cannot be a secondary consideration or a bargaining chip. Protecting and saving innocent lives has to be a priority.”

On Friday, when asked if Netanyahu needed to do more to allow aid into Gaza, Biden affirmed: “Yes, he does.”

Supporters of the Israeli war effort have insisted that the country’s military has allowed ample aid into the territory, and any shortages have resulted from theft by Hamas while Palestinians civilians are left to fend for themselves.

Joe Biden says he was WRONG to describe Laken Riley's suspected murderer as an 'illegal' and vows to never treat migrants with 'disrespect'

By NIC WHITE FOR DAILYMAIL.COM
PUBLISHED: 17:03 EST, 9 March 2024 | UPDATED: 17:03 EST, 9 March 2024

Joe Biden has said he was wrong to describe nursing student Laken Riley's suspected killer as an 'illegal.'

Biden was heckled into acknowledging the murder during Thursday's State of the Union address by Georgia GOP Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene - but now says he regrets it.

In an interview set to be screened Saturday, Biden was pressed by MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart about his use of the word 'illegal.'

The president answered: 'An undocumented person. I shouldn't have used illegal, it’s undocumented. And look, when I spoke about the difference between Trump and me, one of the things I talked about in the border was his, the way he talks about vermin, the way he talks about these people polluting the blood.

'I talked about what I'm not going to do.

What I won't do. I'm not going to treat any, any, any of these people with disrespect.

'Look, they built the country. The reason our economy is growing. We have to control the border and more orderly flow, but I don't share his view at all.'

Pressed by Capehart if he regretted using the word, Biden answered: 'Yes.'

Riley, 22, was murdered while jogging at the University of Georgia's Athens campus on February 22.

Jose Ibarra - who was in the US illegally - has been arrested and charged with the Augusta University student's killing.

The incident has piled even more pressure on Biden to get ahead of the worsening migration crisis, as record numbers are intercepted crossing the southern border.

Immigration is seen as a key issue in November's presidential election, with Biden's likely Republican rival Donald Trump vowing to take a hardline stance/.

I supposed he'll make Ibarra an under secretary of Homeland Defense, or something similar, to pander to his base.

Gosh- wouldn’t want to offend the murdering piece of shit; should probably say “in the US undocumentally”.
Biden can drop dead for all I care.

^^^ They probably pumped in him bunch of drugs to manage to keep him feisty for a couple of hours.

Two thoughts. Joe Biden making Laken Riley the center of his 2024 campaign is like Charles Manson making Sharon Tate the center of his.

Joe Biden apologizing for saying illegal is masturbatory. It’s illegal to be undocumented.

Has that sack of shit apologized yet for fucking up Riley's name?

I think they chipped his oatmeal brain

Laken Riley was a non-scripted moment for Biden. Majorie Taylor Greene handed him a Laken button earlier, and then heckled him during his speech, forcing him to go off script:

My father lived to 94 and was sharp as hell until 92. Then the dementia started setting in and got worse really fast. The docs put dad on a medication that made him more coherent but would ravage him the next day. My sister and I said no more of that. Joe was a dumb fuck on his best day but now???

Biden admitted to making an awkward hot-mic comment about having a “come to Jesus meeting” with Benjamin Netanyahu — and said the Israeli Prime Minister is “hurting Israel” by not doing more to protect Palestinian civilians.

Speaking with MSNBC’s Jonathan Capehart in an interview Saturday, Biden insisted that the puzzling remark he was recorded saying after his State of the Union speech was just a Delaware expression.

“What I meant was it’s an expression used in the southern part of my state, meaning a serious meeting. And it was — I’ve known Bibi for 50 years and he knew what I meant by it,” Biden said, after angrily dodging questions about the comment the day prior.

"an expression used in the southern part of my state" ?? I have heard, and used, that expression my entire life

biden's natural manner of talking includes constantly making stuff up

Pretty sure they got him out of there and into his suspended animation pod.....Did anyone actually see him the next day? Or the day after that?
