david weiss said just the opposite.hy would he be appointed unless somehow they are looking to protect the bidens? >> that is why we need to have a special prosecutor who is above reproach. my suggestion has been that a group of very distinguished people recommend five people to garland and tell him to pick from those five people. nobody from inside the justice department. nobody involved in politics. people of the stature of archibald cox who was the special counsel in the nixon case. everyone believe that. our criminal justice system not make our criminal justice system into a weaponize to place. >> can you explain. you are such a smart and honest man. can you explain to this country tonight how it's possible that somebody that is admittedly addicted to drugs and alcohol, somebody that has no experience, is making millions of dollars from all of these countries, even our top number one geopolitical foe. why would they be paying him that kind of money if he has no experience? does that make any sense to you? it doesn't

notes. >> they said david weiss said just the opposite.so why would he be appointed unless somehow they're looking to protect the bidens? >> well, that's why we need to have a special prosecutor who's above reproach. my suggestion has been that a group of very distinguished people recommend five people to garland and tell him to pick from those five people. nobody from inside the justice department, nobody involved in politics, people of the stature of archibald cox, who was the special prosecutor appointed in the next few days. everybody believe that what we need to do is for credibility, criminal justice system, not make our criminal justice system into a weaponized prosecutor. >> can you explain, professor, you're so you're such a smart man and you're an honest man. >> can you explain to this country tonight how it's possible that somebody that is admittedly addicted to drugs and alcohol, somebody that has no experience, is making millions of dollars from all of these these countries and even our top number one geopolitical foe? why the

i don't trust weiss as far as you can throw him. think they put this thing together precisely to keep the son away from the father. that's what i think. go ahead, poke loopholes into this. >> larry, you missed your calling. you should have been a lawyer -- [laughter] larry: no, no. >> you should have. you're on to something here. look, david weiss is still going soft on hunter biden. larry: yeah. >> what, no money laundering, no bribery, no foreign lobbying crimes, nothing whatsoever to do with the burisma shakedown involving joe biden? so so don't be fooled, the doj protection racket is alive and well. weiss, you're right, larry, deserves zero cred -- this is the guy who wanted no charges at all. he conjured up a sweetheart deal, and only when a federal judge in delaware blew it up, was he he forced to bring the gun charges. and then, of course, the damning evidence produced by the courageous irs whistleblowers that forced weiss to bring these most recent new charges. you know, weiss was publicly shamed into following the law. and

this was brought by the special counsel david weiss. explain the charges and why california and why now? was it expected? guest: now is the key question. from the 56 page indictment that david weiss filed in court last week, there didn't appear to be any new evidence from the irs. investigators had their hands on for the past two or three years. it's not clear why it took so long but in terms of the charges themselves there are some pretty serious felonies included among them, three felonies that involve hunter biden allegedly lying to the irs about his taxes those are former serious them charges for the earlier years. the tax years from 2016 are in california because that's where hunter biden was living at the time he aired those return or failed to prepare them. host: you have an article in the washington examiner -- guest: this is another key episode in the investigation that house republicans are looking at and that criminal investigators looked at throughout their probe. there is a democratic donor that gave significant funds towar

we have a special guest, rabbi israel david weiss, who came from new york to the studio of the network. he is one of the special guests of the speakers of the tehran international conference on palestine . now there is an ejaculation near the house in which he is staying of course, the family's home. the place is in the tenths of the martyrs and the wounded, the lock is a child, if it is complete , or if it is my life, this is the child of the sons of the sons , this is the lady, if she sits next to the sons of god, the most high, or the daughters of god, the most high. 12 balalil tafajana ela wal-e-wahar well, as i said at the beginning of the program, we want to have a conversation with rabbi yisrael david weiss , the spokesman of the anti-zionist jewish union, who came to tehran from new york, khakan weiss , welcome to khabar network. we are you he uses judaism, they have no right to live under these conditions. you mentioned the 75-year occupation of palestine, since i know that your family was victims of the holocaust in previous generations, and the persecution that the jews suff

then david weiss cut the sweetheart plea deal to misdemeanors and three felonies. i digress, bigger issue is as andy points out what did the bidens give in exchange for all of this money coming in. this is the very reason to your ponent, you will not ever see this go in front of a jury. even in this indictment, there is no mention of joe biden, but you do get some conversation about all of the players in this, reference to jim biden described as a business associate and indictment lays out, it was agreed in 2014 that hunter biden was getting paid a million a year and then weiss, i will finish my thought, excuse me, i got rattled, then magically in 2017, when joe biden is no longer vice president, that is when the money gets cut in half. >> emily: here is my question, i've seen the government prosecute for a lot more and a lot less, i've sat in front of cancer survivors, mothers who were on the hook for $30,000, it spent more to prosecute them than recoup the money. what disheartens me is uneven justice or impunity someone can operate with. the question is, are you

that is significance of how long it took to appoint david weiss special counsel.we see? anything related to fara, influence pedalling or tax implication of alleged loans to joe biden. >> carley: a fara violation could directly tie hunter biden to joe biden because it would be he failed to register as a foreign agent for influence pedalling. do you think there are nine charges here, three of them are felonies that the fara charge, it is missing, would be a bigger deal than unfolded yesterday? >> absolutely and sofaras implicate other people in the biden family, potentially in the conduct. fara charge is about influence pedalling and representing a foreign power in front of the government. a tax charge is more personal. i didn't accurately file my tax return, i lied about what deductions i was taking, that is personal. a fara charge, much more global or tax charge related to who paid taxes if there was below market charge to joe biden. >> todd: a lot of talk has been about getting hunter biden to testify in congress and the talk was hunter's team wanted to do it pub

the key point special counsel weiss is making, hunter biden had plenty of money to pay his taxes. they were eventually paid back but that does not matter to the government. it reads in part, the defendant had sufficient funds available to him to pay some or all of his outstanding taxes when they were due but chose not to pay them. $1.6 million in atm withdrawals, more than $683,000 to payments to various women. more than $397,000 for clothing and accessories. more than 300 on tuition, more than 237 on health, beauty and pharmacy products, more than 236 on miscellaneous retail purchases. 214 plus on food, 188,000 on adult entertainment, more than 71,000 on drug and alcohol rehab, 42 on home improvement, sports and recreation. now, abbe lowell, hunter biden's attorney, says if his last name was anything other than biden the charges in delaware and now california would not have been brought. after five years of investigating with no new evidence and two years after hunter paid his taxes in full, the u.s. attorney has nine new charges when he just agreed months ago to resolve this mat

if you read through this indictment, i think david weiss tries to cover himself because, remember, weiss is the same person that tried to, you know, give him a deferred agreement on the gun and do a misdemeanor tax charge tax evasion. have you filing false tax returns and you have a failure to file. the thing, lawrence, that is so frustrated with us the two most prosperous years 201 and 2015 allowed to expire under the statute of limitations. this to me really seems like david weiss has found religion to some extent and decided to just hammer him charges. these are the appropriate charges. these tax years, you know, hunter was just willing to spend all his money, not pay anything in taxes and not even file a tax return. up until 2020 when his friend in california decided well, your dad is running for president, so we better get all these taxes cleaned up and you better pay these taxes. the story couldn't be worse for hunter but the way he did it also can't just be explained away as something to do with his addiction. this is someone that just chose not to pay his taxes and when he finall

video package of events in palestine in the last 24 hours , we will start our conversation with rabbi weisseighborhood of the house where the family of hik lives. the place is for the tenths of the martyrs and the wounded, the lock is a child, if it is perfect or a lifetime, this is the child of the sons of the sons, this is the lady, if she sits next to the sons. muhammad ta'ala or the daughters of allah, the greatest, rest in peace with the children, the majority of me are 30 children in the house , there is an upheaval in the world, the rest of the world is in the house, the martyrs are going to sleep at 12 o'clock at night. israel david white. khakam weiss, the spokesperson of the anti-zionist jewish union, who came to tehran from new york , welcome to khabar network . i have to say that in today's conference the facts are very good. in reflecting the jews and the jewish religion , the world has been deceived and this has caused conflict between muslims and jews, but all these are the result of the deception of the israeli regime, they are a political movement with unacceptable and unfo

i'm going to get to weiss and sarat in a minute. let's bring in our senior economics correspondent, steve liesman, because he has a finite period of time before he has to get ready for what happens this afternoon. steve, i mean, you posted on threads today essentially if the fed is as data dependent as bryn suggests they are, then they should be thinking about cuts at this point because inflation, you said, your words, is falling everywhere. >> yeah, except for in the cpi. i was interested in the cpi ex-shelter because that shelter component is pretty lousy, and if you look at the data today, some of the data in zillow, other data from the bls or cleveland fed, rents are coming down. if you take out rent from the cpi, the fed is below its forecast and the other rent data shows that rents are falling. so my concern is that a data dependent fed is making decisions based upon bad or outmoded data. i agree with what you said to joe, though. joe's question is a good one. there is time for the market and the fed to come together. if you l

steve weiss alerted us to a stock he's buying. we'll take a break and hear from weiss.e santoli as well. >> announcer: are you following "the halftime report" podcast? what are you waiting for? look for us in your favorite podcasting app. follow now. e smallest things are creating giant revolutions... at world wide technology, we're at the forefront of ai. with our one of a kind ai proving ground, cyber range, and full stack approach, you can build, test, protect and implement ai solutions that deliver for you and your customers... in a big way. world wide technology. together, let's make a new world happen. >>> we are back. our senior markets commentator, mike santoli, joining us with his "midday word." i can't wait to hear what it is today, michael. >> we have the no pain, big gain trade on. it seems everyone has decided there isn't going to be really a dangerous tradeoff between what we can expect in terms of easier financial conditions and economic growth. that's the view from today. on one hand, you take it in short bites. the big indexes are looking pretty extende

yields are slipping down, look at that, 4.25. 4.25, weiss, the yield on th ten-year. powell said exactly what i think we would have expected h to say. maybe the market g unsettled and realized it was nothing new. premature to say the fed restrictive, policy is well into came back and said next.ugh he that's the language that has soothed the market of late, carefully, patience, those words and the stock market looks good as we start december. >> this is a situation where mediocre economic news if not weakening is good news. you see that in the ten year. the ism number was a little disappointing. it's in contraction territory, below 50. they believe that's going to be what's goi to force the fed to think about easing sooner than they alluded to. you have the same party line from powell. i do believe that i'm acally -- i wouldn't say i'm surprised today, i'm surprised there ist a little bit more of a digestion period. or five days.that the last four it's feldigestive. we were quiet. the action was muted. even just dialing back the momentum from last month is digestive pe

attorney david weiss indicted hunter biden to actually protect him. listen to his logic on this. >> my concern is that weiss may have indicted hunter biden to protect him from having to be deposed in the house oversight committee on wednesday. >> what do you think about that? >> yeah. i don't see that at all, because, in fact, hunter biden was willing to testify in public, and republicans said, no, we want him in a deposition. then prior to testifying in public, he gets indicted. now the advice to him will be, you cannot testify, because you have a fifth amendment privilege and you need to assert it because there's too much risk for you to testify. >> how do you see the legal road and the political roads kind of dovetailing here? republicans have argued that hunter biden is connected to all kinds of inappropriate foreign business dealings. thus far, he has not been charged with anything as it relates that. his father, the president of the united states, is not mentioned in the indictment. there appear to be noi ilinks between hunter biden's alleged wr

with the investment committee joining me for the hour today, joe terranova, jenny harrington, steve weiss, jim lebenthal it's been a little bit all over the place. we're trying to hang positive. the s&p has gone a smidge negative there's the dow higher by about 14 the nasdaq is in the red 4.25 is the ten year we did have that hotter than expected jobs report, the ten year moved up on that a bit. the unemployment rate has dropped. joe, i come to you first odds of a rate cut in march have decreased. maybe that's a good thing. some thought that was delusional to begin with. sentiment was up, how do you see things today >> i see things as i usually do in terms of positioning and i think the market in particular in the bond market was positioned for a break below 4% and a ten-year treasury, you obviously are not getting that within the last hour we're seeing a gradual rise in yields. it's important to keep that in mint if i do have significant gains in the crowded areas, again, to borrow from mike santoli's line, you're thinking about maybe paring back holdings >> weiss, did anything really ch

joining me, bryn talkington, jim lebenthal, joe terranova and steve weiss. we are green across the board today. we'll continue to watch the major averages. eight weeks in a row, joe, of gains. 4800. watch it on the s&p because it's been a minute. it shows you this run we've been on, the momentum we seem to have back, how far can we go? >> keep playing offense. play offense and the broadening out of the market. the russell is strong again today. you actually have energy, which we'll talk about later in the show in which the momentum seems to be building. the market right now understanding that yields have pulled back aggressively. what happens when they get below 4%? they've stayed below 4%. we never really saw the bounce. you figured you would see a bounce. that's a good indicator for risk. >> is that how you see it as well, bryn? >> it seems what joe is saying is spot on. i think this is one of the strongest seven days of the year and we all know it sets the tone for the first year. reminiscent to 2017. we had more volatility this year. remember going into

. >> brian: david weiss advising.er's side for now. >> griff: that is rights, in filing last night special counsel david weiss is critical to subpoena ag barr, blasting a subpoena seeking broadly worded category of documents over span of seven years. david weiss writes allegations feature on nonspecific category of document concerning action and motive of individual who did not make relevant prosecutorial decision in his case. hunter's legal team is painting picture of hell-bent former president launching the investigation and special counsel prosecution is vin dickative and violates hunter's rights. david weiss says not only does defendant's motion fail to show discrimination, he noteses no charges were brought during trump's administration. david weiss writing, on allegations of disparate treatment, defendant's notion is deficient. should decline to let hunter's team to make claims in pre-trial motions. >> brian: there are a lot of cases, including against the computer repair shop. the ccp owned acres in the united

steve weiss, you already do.the 10 and 30 week moving averages. next level of resistance is near 36. it's just shy of 34. what do you think? >> so, look, i own goldman as well. you'll own the banks and will add to it. i cut bank of america back, as you recall, many months ago, and i look at adding or adding -- buying morgan stanley. the point is that what's going to make these stocks go is the ipo market m&a market. rates have to come down for both to occur and will do quite well. >> bofa is up 36% since the end of october. >> it's still nowhere near the highs that it was, right? it's still big time off the highs, right? so it's not the most exciting bank. moynihan is a phenomenal ceo, and you're buying the ceos for each whether it's jamie dimon or david solomon i'm also a big fan of. and you're buying them right now. they're still fairly priced here. i think there's upside. they're not overpriced. you have bofa at ten times earnings. you have it nine times next year. so you need those rates to come down, start t

i am rabbi eric weiss and honor to be your host .are in a wonderful conversation with marnie paul and jim van buskirk. and how they discover their jewishness. we were talking before the break and marnie was sharing how her own adulthood and when she discovered she was jewish and it influenced her sense of jewishness. i am wondering for you, how that was? >> i came out when i was 20 as a gay man. my identity arranged or rearranged itself . this felt somewhat similar, when my mother revealed this identity. it is like, okay. i completely changed and was completely the same and i took myself to synagogue thinking , maybe now i will find the services much more meaningful. maybe now i will know the songs and i will not be feeling like such an interloper. none of that changed. because i had not grown up as a jew. i liken it that's i use the analogy of being transgender. a transgender person does not have the childhood of the gender they are now living. i feel like , i am not a pretend jew. my mother's family was jewish. and i have done all

. >> weiss, how do you play the quote, unquote, rally? >> all of the areas now, maybe the bond rally is sustainable if i think yields will come down, and you made the argument bonds and stock go up together, and bitcoin is rallying, and gold is above, what, 2100. some are suggesting that is getting going just as well? >> yeah, and again, i don't believe there are any fundamentals there, i just believe in momentum. the question is, is it sustainable? we had an economic report came out and said the economy is disappointing. if you look at the three month performance, it's outstanding. materials are up 9% in the last month, and industrials are up 10%, and skdiscretionary up 13% and on and on. >> ark had its best month ever. >> yeah, it did. i still would not buy it. i would rather by the qs, because they are a better and safer bet and will out perform arc, as they have. you can trade them, but i don't think the industrials or the economically sensitive stocks are going to do well until there's really light at the end of the tunnel for fed ea

david weiss right now is a special counsel. we still believe there needs to be a special counsel to investigate his office's actions because he is the one that completely turned around after interacting with biden administration officials and tried to brush this under the rug. >> that and the source of where this money came from earlier, where the statute of limitations was conveniently allowed to run. tristan, thank you for coming on tonight. we really appreciate it. this is a perfect transition. this indictment doesn't just illustrate hunter's disgusting lured lifestyle. , it also exposes as we were just talking about exactly why joe and special counsel david weiss wanted all of this buried. former chief assistant u.s. attorney fox news contributor andy mccarthy summed it up best. he said the indictment's background allegations get into schemes with various agents of corrupt and an be at this american regimes from whom the biden family business reeled in millions of dollars. burisma, cfc, romania, the largess of sugar bro hol

that could put him in prison for up to 17 years, nine new tax charges brought by special counsel david weiss include felony, tax evasion, failure to pay taxes from 2016 - 2019, failure to file returns in 2018, accusing hunter biden of invading $1.4 million in taxes over four years, weiss is alleging during that time hunter biden spent his money on drugs, escorts, luxury hotels and cars, everything but his taxes, former acting attorney general matt whitaker says it will not be easy for hunter to evade these charges this time around. >> this to me really seems like david weiss has found religion to some extent and decided to humor him with charges. hunter was willing to spend all of his money, not pay anything in taxes and not file a tax return up until 2020 when his friend in california decided that your dad running for president so we better get the taxes cleaned up and you better pay the taxes, the story could not be worse for hunter but the way that he did it cannot be explained away as something to do with his addiction. maria: all of this as house republicans are fighting to bring hunter

my concern is, weisse indicted hunter biden to protect him. from the committee on -- >> indicted him to protect him. yes. the classic rubric. i got it. >> this whole thing is about a coverup. you have two serious -- >> to protect him, to cover it up? >> if you indict him on the least little thing, the gun charge and not facing taxes -- >> he's facing 17 additional years in prison. >> look at what he's done. anyone else in america would be in prison. he owes $2 million. he may owe 7 or $8 million. if the loans are fraudulent. a loan means you'll pay it back. look, at the end of the day, this money is coming from bad people around the world. why are they paying hunter biden? we believe that it's because they want a direct access to joe biden. i don't think that any american would want a president that's compromised to our biggest enemy in the world, china. >> so, again, i ask for one piece of evidence or testimony that directly connects president biden to prove misconduct. >> i did it. the termination of chokin. look, ya'll have been saying no e

david weiss has done a big 360, 180. >> is job as the defense lawyer is to make his case. it flies in the case of i.r.s. whistleblower testimony which was going to this question of he got special treatment. if his name was biden it wouldn't have gone down this way. the point why didn't he take the plea deal, two misdemeanor counts. plus last month october the indictments on the gun charges plus these. why didn't he take that deal? he is looking at a harsher penalty. it is because he wanted the investigation walled off into just taxes and guns. they don't want to get into these questions. the latest emails raise why was hunter not registered as a foreign agent? we've got new windows into the burisma work. no one is surprised. not because he was a natural gas expert, they weren't asking him about his expertise in corporate governance. it was influencing washington and make charges go away in ukraine. >> bill: james comer wants to have this interview. he wants to have this hearing. i don't think it is going to happen. i don't know if you disagree with that or not. that's on t

remember there was david weiss wanting to file in california these charges last fall.stopped. what happens between last fall and today? two whistleblowers. a lot to dig into here. i want to know the payments, where they went, the shell companies. was joe connected to this? what changed in a year to now all of a sudden these charges are before us? >> thank you so much. >>> johnny goes christmas shopping. >> i think these would look great on you. >> they probably would. my most important kitchen tool? my brain. so i choose new neuriva ultra. unlike some others, it supports 7 brain health indicators, including mental alertness from one serving. to help keep me sharp. try new neuriva ultra. think bigger. but i'm also a mother of four. and as entrepreneurs, we weigh the cost of every decision. medical bills are no longer a worry for our family. so i can focus on my calling and our family. joining christian health care ministries was one of the best decisions we ever made. we're the blair family, and this is our chm story. choose your doctor without network restrictions. all

the whistle-blowers feel vindicated but nevertheless, weiss is not only the special counsel assignedg charges but he's also supposed to write a report at the end of this to explain what happened. he's not the right guy to do that because he's the one that is the focus of most of the misconduct, not just from the whistle-blowers, but abbe lowell says he's been pressured and all that stuff. weiss is not the guy to do this job and certainly not the person to look back and write about what happened. >> martha: president biden is not mentioned in this indictment. there's a whole separate investigation going on in congress. so we'll see where this goes. as we said, right up against the statute of limitations which have run out on a number of these issues. thanks, mark. we'll keep you updated. kevin o'leary and kat timpf next. there's an old saying in the navy that the toughest job in the navy is a navy wife. and if you've made the deployments and you've been the wife at home, or you've been the spouse at home, you understand what i'm talking about. your spouse has earned the right to apply

we turn those over to david weiss more than year ago. it does track so many transactions in the indictment. we've known about these things for years. on those reports it talks about money laundering. at talks about human trafficking. these are serious suspicions. if a normal american just had one of these reports, that ought to be concerning to the american public if they vote for somebody related to that individual. hunter biden had hundreds of these reports. this tells you and shows you the depth of the corruption of this family and how much activity there was. this is a vast web of foreign entanglements which compromise the president and compromised our national security. >> when you look at the sheer amount of money as i was asking them and look at all the lies joe told. look at the sars report and the shell companies. look at the tens of millions we are talking about here. look at the fact that we see no services rendered here. how can anyone come to any other conclusion except that this was access to the then vice president of the

hopefuls are questioning the indictment handed down by david weiss, blasting the justice department for slow walking the case. alexandria hoff is live with reaction to the indictments. >> hi, alicia. special county weiss is focusing on that hunter biden could have paid his taxes, but spent on women, cars, an extravagant life style. nine charges were filed against the president's son in los angeles, three of those felonies. the government alleges he failed to pay $1.4 million in taxes. here is his attorney. >> somebody in their family or they know it's not behavior that he's proud of, but it doesn't make him into a tax felon in a 56-page indictment. >> hunter-wide faces up to 17 years in prison, and an only probation deal fell apart after a delaware judge questioned what republicans called a sweetheart deal. there was a formal impeachment inquiry for the president. >> the president's conduct will be what judges his own cul culpability what he does, not his son. >> house oversight committee chair comer says that hunter biden's new tax charges has nothing do do with the biden family loans

there was a new pit bull prosecutor on the case, leo weiss. david weiss, the u.s. attorney, had to step aside and let the case take its course. now that is what has happened without some of the more serious charges. and i think people ought to realize back at home now that you are getting all this sympathy play and hunter's lawyer is going on the airwaves and core hunter was a drug addict when all this happened. he was clean and sober in 2020 when he filed these allegedly fraudulent tax returns in which he was claiming 600,000 some odd dollars for prostitutes and a couple hundred thousand dollars for close et cetera. the average american pays their taxes and they go to jail if they are fraudulent. that is all that joe zigler and gary shapley wanted. they wanted hunter biden to be treated like any other american taxpayer. otherwise, our faith in the system collapses. >> miranda, while the details of this indictment are scandalous, they are not truly the scandal that matters. the scandal that matters is not how the money has been spent, but how the money comes in. hu

both cases were brought by special counsel david weiss, whose team negotiated a deal requiring hunterplead guilty to misdemeanor tax charges in exchange for no prison time. but the deal unraveled in court after republicans accused the justice department of agreeing to a sweetheart deal. >> they've made him a very good deal. and he he sucked it up like a hoover deluxe. and i don't i can't blame you if you have a no time plea deal. >> that's something that you have to consider because david weiss might not have even been special counsel and may not have been able to bring charges here in my home town of los angeles had hunter biden's lawyers not blown up that plea deal in delaware because the us attorney here, at least reportedly was not going to pursue these charges. >> responding to the new indictment overnight, hunter's attorney accused weiss of bowing to republican pressure, saying if hunter's last name was anything other than biden, the charges in delaware and now california would not have been brought. the white house not commenting on the indictment. the new charges include three

attorney weiss's behavior here. for quite a while, according to the two whistleblowers they say he said it is not up to me. i can't prosecute this case, it's coming from above. i'm paraphrasing there and that's what the whistleblowers said. now weiss has done this huge 180 and prosecuting him on all these things and hunter's attorney says this is just because he is a biden. so unravel that for us. >> it's a disgrace. he was shamed into doing this. i almost fell out of my chair here laughing listening to abbe lowell. if this defendant's name wasn't biden, then four years ago he would have been convicted on a bunch of felony counts and the case would have been handled like anybody else involved in serious firearms and tax problems. which is to say he would have been expeditiously prosecuted and sentenced. what has happened here, this prosecutor dragged his feet for five years to the point that the statute of limitations has run on some of the worst conduct from 2014 through 2016 when, by the way, joe biden was vice pr

hunter biden now facing a second criminal case with nine tax charges brought by david weiss. the 56 page indictment filed in california alleges hunter schemed to evade at least $1.4 million in federal taxes from 2016 to 2019. and instead he spent his money on drugs, escorts, girlfriends, luxury hotels and rental properties, exotic cars, clothing. so basically everything but his taxes. if convicted, hunter could face up to 17 years in prison. let's bring in civil rights attorney areva martin. good morning to you. thanks for being here. what stands out to but this case? >> i think what stands out to me the most is the charges in this new 56 page indictment are similar to if not the same charges that we've learned about earlier this summer that were going to be a part of a plea deal that was going to be entered into by hunter biden, but we know that federal judge derailed that. so here we are with the same charges about tax evasion being brought in this very, very serious indictment after clearly no agreement could be reached between hunter biden and the special counsel assigned

so i guess jack weiss involved in the investigation says, let's hand it this way. of course, hunter biden faces 17 years, not that he'll ever get that. it's a felony-related nine counts of tax charges, and it's the system that's gone mad, and we're in a different universe right now. >> you think counsel weiss is overcorrecting? he's saying it's politically motivated and if his last name was not biden, he would not be charged. does he have a point? >> i think so and so do a number of officials including one of our former attorney generals mr. holder who's indicated as much. the taxes were paid two years ago. we have to have a system that operates fairly, that has meaning and basis, and that applies equally and evenly to all. if the whole objective of the justice system is to get and mete out justice, if justice were paid already, he should have paid then when he should have, there should have been no lies or anything else, but there are programs aplenty for defendants who have not paid taxes. there are those matters that are handled civilly in the criminal context.

. >> bill: the gentleman you are seeing on the camera there is david weiss. if our audience is not familiar with him he is walking to the left side of hunter you'll be familiar with him soon. a well-known washington, d.c. lawyer who took on the case just recently and he took it on at a very sensitive time. a week ago, dana, a week ago tomorrow we talk about the charges out of -- i'm sorry, i apologize, my bad, abbe lowell. i take that back. a week ago tomorrow we had the three felonies out of california. david weiss is the special prosecutor had to cut a deal with biden some time ago that would have allowed him to escape this if he pled guilty to two misdemeanors. that opportunity with weiss is gone now. >> there is a saying in washington in legal circles you only hire abby lowell if you are in trouble. and abby lowell has been making a lot of tv appearances and making a compelling case for his client. this is a risky move to blow off the subpoena and not be deposed today. >> dana: andy mccarthy, any insight into how the biden white house facing an impeachmen

if you remember, the last case fell apart due to the fact that david weiss could not guarantee huntermmunity from other criminal cases. on the contrary, he then said that they would continue to investigate whether hunter had broken the law? for drugs, the services of escort girls and girlfriends, for luxury hotels and real estate rentals, exotic cars, clothing and other personal items, in short, for everything except paying taxes. we have a stack of sheets with the indictment here, we still need remains to be looked into, but it appears that hunter paid no taxes at all during his entire presidency. two things are clear. first, joe biden is a liar and a cheat. second, this country is under enormous foreign influence. this is the biggest presidential scandal in american history. accusing hunter is a nuclear bomb for the bidens as joe becomes like clinton during the slevinski scandal. after a california jury indicted hunter's first son biden, political analysts predicted that a nuclear bomb would put president biden in a trap of his own making after he again said the accusation that he c

weiss isn't interesting in investigating that issue.will be up to the house of representatives to get to the bottom of it. it is the source of the revenue, not how it was spent. >> sandra: hunter biden's attorney accused prosecutors of caving to republican political pressure. he also said this earlier about the tax case, listen to this. >> when they're late or whether there is a mistake or when there is something to be done what the i.r.s. and government does is they ask questions, they ask for backup, they bring civil actions, what they don't do is take a two-count misdemeanor in june and turn it into a 56 indictment in december. why he was as everybody knows at the bottom of the barrel of his addiction to crack cocaine which explains a lot of his misconduct and also addresses whether he was in what they call a scheme as opposed to just being at the dullest part of addiction. >> sandra: what about that? is political pressure fueling this case? is being an addict a defense? >> well, being an addict is not really a defense. if you listen

now special counsel david weiss. lesley wolf according to shapley and ziegler who said we won't look into campaign finances concerns that others in the investigative team thought should be examined and you can't use the term big guy or political figure gnomeber one. we w want to ask her questions about all that and most importantly why the investigation decided to let the tax years 2014 and 2015 when the bulk of the burisma income was coming to hunter biden why they let the statute of limitations -- it is one thing to charge hunter biden on a gun charge in delaware. you get into burisma, you do. we want to ask her questions about that as well. >> dana: what will happen to that testimony? i think there was a little confusion yesterday what hunter biden said he was coming to do or not. in is a closed door deposition. will you be able to release a transcript of that or do you hold that? >> you hold the -- we'll are he lease them at some point. you don't want to release it until you've interviewed everyone else. if you r
