My Prediction: If Joe Biden Is Sworn in, the Investigation of Hunter Biden Will Lead to Joe's Resignation

There is no “happy ending†to this story for the Biden family. Joe Biden has wanted to be President for 45 years — maybe more — and if he makes it to January 21, 2021, he may actually realize that dream.
The revelation yesterday by Hunter Biden that his attorney has been advised by the US Attorney’s Office in Delaware that he is under investigation offers little in the way of specifics, but an informed view of this acknowledgment reveals some practical issues that are of profound significance — in ways that are not good for Joe Biden. Such notification likely came by way of a “Target Letterâ€, which is the kind of “overt step†that would have been against DOJ Policy during the self-imposed “quiet period†leading up to the election.
First, Hunter Biden’s public statement claims that his taxes are under investigation. That is likely true, but the fact that the investigation is located in the US Attorney’s Office for Delaware means this is not just a tax case.
Cases that are limited to issues of tax evasion — failure to report income, or inappropriate use of tax avoidance schemes or other filing crimes — are normally handled by the Tax Division of the Justice Department. The reason for this is to promote consistency across the country in the criminal prosecution of tax crimes. If decisions on tax cases were left in the hands of the 93 US Attorneys in federal judicial districts across the country, it is almost a certainty that taxpayers in different parts of the country would receive different treatment at the hands of prosecutors. Centralizing the decision-making and handling of tax cases in one Division of DOJ provides consistent application of prosecutorial standards.
