The judge intends to ask Biden about the laptop. So this brings up a few things.

  • He admits on the record it is his and the can of worms that follows should have him arrested in court.
  • He lies and then he is committing perjury. Should be arrested right away
  • He pleads the 5th or refuses to answer and is in contempt of court. Should be put in jail.

This is what should happen, but it won't.

What other fun stuff might Hunter in court today yield? Can LEOs in AR arrest Hunter for his lying to obtain a firearm? Is there something else that he could be arrested for in AR and Sanders sends some troopers to get him leaving the court?
Why is this happening in an Arkansas court?
Where the mother and child live. The presence of the child determines jurisdiction.

No matter what he says or how much $ he throws at it, you will always know how lowly Joe Biden thinks of the armed forces by pulling string to get a special commission for Hunter into the Navy which he promptly lost due to drug use. Imagine putting that piece of human trash in charge of members of our volunteer armed forces who might have to trust their lives to his aptitude and character. Alas, Hunter clearly inherited his character from his awful father.
There is absolutely no branch as dependent on their Sugar Daddies as the Navy. Do you understand just how much in drugs / other shady stuff you have to be doing to get kicked out of the Navy as a Senator's son? Holy crap. Usually that sort of thing just gets you sunted into a bull**** assignment with no guys under you except maybe a steward to clean up your bull***** It must have been a Scarface level of drugs.

I've actually been wondering if giving the girl the name Navy was some kind of personal "F' You" to Hunter from the mother.

Look at the hoops that the lawyers had to jump through during the West Memphis 3 tragedy. It was easy to see that this case was terribly mishandled and became a national headline. The state just kept doubling down on their witch hunt. If you think that Hunter Biden will catch any heat for this in my state, you're mistaken. They'll cower at being thought of negatively and will throw their hands up like they did all they could do. Minimal effort will be put forth and it'll disappear; like most Liberal cases do in this nation.

Read what they're doing to Hunter's daughter (Joe's Granddaughter). Will not even give her a Christmas stocking on the WH fireplace mantel. Cannot use the "Biden" surname.

Or that the mother had "sailed the seven seas," if you know what I mean. And I think you do. Any female who has slept with Hunter as an adult has been with a bunch of folks. I won't speak to the girls he has slept with.

Hunter had initially denied that he was Navy's biological dad, saying he had "no recollection" of meeting her mother despite the fact that she danced at a DC strip club he frequented while dating his widowed sister-in-law Hallie.

"That's how little connection I had with anyone. I was a mess, but a mess I've taken responsibility for," he wrote of his drug-fueled sex "rampages" in his 2021 memoir "Beautiful Things."

"The other women I'd been with during rampages since my divorce were hardly the dating type," the book read. "We would satisfy our immediate needs and little else."

The back taxes guy was his attorney who controls his stake in BHR.

Quote:

Skaneateles LLC, the entity which owns ten percent of BHR Partners, according to Chinese public records from Baidu, was controlled by Hunter as the sole governor until its dissolution in September 2021, a Washington, DC, registration indicated.

But new documents obtained by Breitbart News, first revealed by nonprofit Marco Polo, show the control of Skaneateles LLC is being held by Kevin Morris, Hunter's top attorney, who also paid Hunter's IRS debts.

And likely carried on the books as a loan to Hunter, thus it is his liability on a balance sheet.

Sounds like Hunter and his attorneys had a bad day yesterday.

Quote:

Having been toyed with enough, Circuit Court Judge Holly Meyer told Biden fils and his estranged paramour that they must attend all future court proceedings in person. Of more immediate consequence, Biden has been ordered to disclose the financial records that have been requested by May 12.
Quote:

That could be interesting. At the last hearing, one of Hunter's lawyers, Brent Langdon, asked Judge Meyer to preclude an expert witness whom Roberts plans to call about financial evidence gleaned from Hunter's infamous laptop. As we've previously noted, Team Biden has been incoherently sly about the laptop, simultaneously claiming that (a) it might not be his but (b) his privacy has been unlawfully invaded by the publication of its contents.

Not surprisingly, then, Langdon slipped into passive-voice mode, telling the judge, "There has never been an acknowledgement" from his client that the laptop is his.

"Well," Judge Meyer replied, "let's clear that issue up right now. Is it your client's laptop or not?"

As we approach three years since the laptop's emergence, Biden's lawyer stammered, "I am not in a position to even begin to answer that question." Eventually, flummoxed counsel settled on, "It's not my client's laptop as far as I know. He's never accepted that that's his laptop."

Hmmm . . . May 12 ought to be a hoot.

Independence County Circuit Court Holly Meyer isn't playing around. Not only did she order Hunter Biden to show up for a court hearing on Monday on his request to pay less child support to a child he refuses to acknowledge, but she also ordered him to re-submit his financial records without so many redactions.
Redactions? What possible legitimate reason would there be to redact his financial records in a child support case? A case he started BTW.

Quote:

Let's just say that the two-hour hearing on Monday didn't go great for Hunter. Judge Meyer didn't appreciate the amount of redaction used to hide the full picture of the First Son's finances. Hunter wants to cry poverty while he very publicly lives large with his father in the White House. He's just returned from a family vacation to Ireland with dear old Dad and Aunt Valerie, flying in the comfort and safety of Air Force One. He was rumored to be living in the White House to avoid being served with legal papers by Lunden Roberts, the child's mother. He is a frequent guest at White House events.

This case is slimy, which is not surprising considering Hunter Biden's involvement. The Biden family has never acknowledged Navy Joan. Joe Biden says he has six, not seven grandchildren. There was no Christmas stocking on the mantle in the White House for Navy Joan, but there were for the dog and cat.

You would think that Hunter was a young man in his twenties or thirties who fathered an unplanned child and wants to avoid the responsibilities of fatherhood. The truth is that Hunter Biden is a 53-year-old man with grown children. He also has a three-year-old son with his current wife. Hunter had made millions of dollars in sketchy deals, trading on the Biden name and access to his father. He currently makes hundreds of thousands of dollars, allegedly, selling his artwork.

Nonetheless, Hunter wants to reduce his monthly child support payments. Because of the discovery process, Hunter is now going to have to cough up the financial information he has been hiding. The House Oversight Committee may benefit from the court-ordered transparency Biden now has to provide.

There is an overlap with the financial information Lunden Roberts needs in her child support case and information the House Oversight Committee needs in its probes into Hunter's questionable business dealings with foreign countries.
Judge Jeannine made a good point yesterday. Hunter can dodge and weave his way around the IRS, the DOJ and Congressional Oversight Committees but he cannot escape a family law judge. And he did this to himself. Not just the w***ing around and having a child as a result but not paying off this woman from the get-go, setting up a trut fund to provide for the child's needs and be done with it.

His instincts are awful. Every single one of them.

Too bad the judge accepted that answer. Would have been great if she'd asked Biden directly, and reminded him that he was under oath.

Agree. She should have directed that question directly to him since he was present in the courtroom.

My guess is that he would have tried to take the 5th and not answer then all hell would break loose. And his upcoming deposition in June would be dicey for him.

BUT, it will be a bench trial, they can request the court for the records to be filed under seal, I guess.

They can ask. I didn't say the judge would agree, however.

I am still unclear what the reasoning was for redactions in the first place. Foreign companies/governments as the source of funds? If that is the case, I would wager a big buck offer is coming Lunden's way before May 12th.

Quote:

Judge Holly Meyer rebuked the 53-year-old's legal team during the two-hour proceedings, saying they wrongly concealed details of filings that had already been submitted to the court as part of the ongoing legal saga.

"The ability to redact is somewhat being abused," the judge told Hunter's attorneys before ordering them to refile some of those papers. It wasn't immediately clear exactly what financial information was included in the filings.
Quote:

Meyer on Monday ordered Hunter to answer additional written questions about his money including investments, his art sales and other financial transactions after Roberts' attorney Clinton Lancaster claimed he had so far provided "incomplete answers."

Lancaster argued Hunter divulged neither who had purchased his art nor the estimated values of the pieces.


Quote:

But Hunter's attorneys hit back, saying the first son didn't know the identities of the buyers as part of a purported arrangement to ensure they were unable to "influence" his father's administration.

"He will not know. Someone else may know," one of the attorneys told the judge.

Meyer informed Lancaster that he could "issue a subpoena" to force the gallery to divulge names of buyers and prices of the art, adding: "It's a little incredible that there is no estimate of valuations."
LOL. Then subpoena the gallery owner, counselor. Do your job.

Quote:

When the first son asked the court in September to reduce his monthly payments, it allowed Roberts to reopen the discovery process and demand the financial records.

The judge had already ruled that any financial records Hunter submits to the court would be shielded from public view.
Shielded meaning sealed? Or not part of the public docket, meaning they can be subpoenaed?
