On December 7th, Hunter Biden was indicted on nine charges relating to tax evasion for failing to pay income taxes on “millions of dollars in income” from 2016-2020. These charges are in addition to three federal gun charges that were filed in September 2023. In total, the charges could result in more than a decade of prison time for Joe Biden’s son.
The indictment begins by describing Hunter Biden as “a Georgetown- and Yale-educated lawyer, lobbyist, consultant, and businessperson…” It also mentions a plethora of business entities Hunter Biden has been associated with and their relationship’s with the Chinese energy firm China Energy Co Ltd (CEFC), as well as Ukrainian gas company Burisma Holdings Limited, where Hunter Biden was a board member from April 2014 through April 2019. Hunter Biden was paid $1 million per year by Burisma until March 2017, two months after Joe Biden left the vice presidency, at which time his pay was reduced to $500,000/year.
What’s missing from the indictment is any reference to the Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA), which was recently used to charge Senator Bob Menendez for conspiracy to violate FARA. According to the US Department of Justice:
FARA requires the registration of, and disclosure by, an “agent of a foreign principal” who, either directly or through another person, within the United States (1) engages in “political activities” on behalf of a foreign principal; (2) acts as a foreign principal’s public relations counsel, publicity agent, information-service employee, or political consultant… (4) represents the interests of the foreign principal before any agency or official of the US government.
22 USC 611 defines “foreign principal” as
“a partnership, association, corporation, organization, or other combination of persons organized under laws of or having its principal place of business in a foreign country.”
It also defines “agent of a foreign principal” as
“any person who acts as an agent, representative, employee, or servant, or any person who acts in any other capacity at the order, request, or under the direction or control, of a foreign principal or of a person any of whose activities are directly or indirectly supervised, directed, controlled, financed, or subsidized in whole or in major part by a foreign principal, and who directly or through any other person.”
Burisma
Thanks to the research of Badlands Media co-founder Jon Herold and reporting by The Gateway Pundit, which was later confirmed by FOX News, there is evidence that not only did Hunter Biden violate FARA, but Joe Biden may have as well, both as vice president in 2015 and as a private citizen in 2017.
While combing through the Hunter Biden Laptop emails, Herold stumbled upon a series of emails from late 2015 that involved former Clinton senior advisor Sally Painter’s Blue Star Strategies, Hunter Biden’s Rosemont Seneca, and Burisma’s Vadym Pozharskyi.

Help me get eyes on this.
We have proof of Biden corruption.
It involves Hunter, Burisma, a think tank named Blue Star Strategies, and Joe Biden’s trip to Ukraine where he threatened to withhold $1B unless Shokin was fired.
The timeline here is UNDENIABLE.

The negotiations culminate in an email sent to Hunter Biden and his partners Eric Schwerin and Devon Archer on November 2, 2015 where Burisma’s Pozharskyi writes:
Dear colleagues,
On the Friday edition of The Dan Bongino Show, Bongino references the missing FARA violations while playing a clip of CBS’s Catherine Herridge where she considers the possibility of more charges being added:
