For the last two years, I have been mocking the left and the Biden crime family / administration, generally through song parody. As the Hunter Biden sentencing in the District Court of Delaware approaches, though, I have an alternate explanation of the how and why the criminal investigation into Hunter Biden proceeded in the manner that it did.
My thoughts are my own, based on more than 30 years working in law enforcement in Delaware. About half of that time was focused on investigating illegal drug and gun activity among convicted criminals at the local, state and federal level. I have not interviewed anyone conducting the actual investigations, though I have personally met and spoken with a number of the figures involved in the case, including U.S. Attorney David Weiss, and Judge Mary Ellen Noreika, who is scheduled to be sentencing the scion of the Biden crime family in Courtroom 4A of the J. Caleb Boggs Federal Building on July 26. I would also state that the truth of this proposition does not automatically render false competing explanations, indeed, there may be more to this story as well.
The great Achilles Heel of criminal investigation generally, and drug (and to a lesser extent, firearms) investigations specifically, is the use of informants, particularly those who are co-conspirators or otherwise involved with the unlawful activity. Of course, anyone who gives information to authorities is technically an informant, whether the person is a caller to 911 or a mercenary flown into town by the Drug Enforcement Administration and turned loose to get next to a region’s major cocaine supplier.
At the lowest level, when a drug addicted individual is caught engaging in criminal activity (say shoplifting as organized retail theft), their goal shifts from not getting caught stealing in order to buy drugs to get high again to not being held in custody long enough to experience withdrawal (which, of course, means getting high again). These individuals tell on who is buying their stolen goods, who is selling them drugs and any other criminal activity that they are aware of in order to be released on unsecured bails prior to the dope sickness setting in.
Climbing a bit higher up the ladder is the offender who is arrested in a drug or other criminal transaction who is given a choice to turn on his supplier and others in order to “work off his charges” and avoid or minimize his legal punishment.
Wedged nearby is the petty criminal who continues to play both sides of the criminal lifestyle by serving as snitches to either a single detective or unit. For those who watched “Hill Street Blues” and recall the relationship between Sid Thurston (Peter Jurasik) and Lt. Norman Buntz (Dennis Franz) that was further developed in the short-lived “Beverly Hills Buntz” series, this is one example, though the character of “Bubbles” in “The Wire” was a more accurate portrayal of this.
Near the top of this hierarchy are examples like the members of organized crime families who when compromised by law enforcement agree to give information and/ or testimony against the upper echelons and colleagues. A prominent example of this would be Sammy “The Bull” Gravano, whose participation in more than a dozen murders was not prosecuted due to his cooperation in the prosecution of his boss John Gotti.
Regardless of whether they are called “Cooperating Individuals”, “Confidential Sources” or any other jargon, these snitches are problematic because they are criminals, and despite written agreements and forceful threatening instructions, they frequently relapse (or never cease) into committing crimes. As such, while they might avoid punishment for the charges they worked off, their new crimes threaten to place them in prison amongst the people they’ve helped catch and convict. To the extent that some investigators form bonds with their informants, the desire to protect the snitch from the consequences of their behavior has become overwhelming for these investigators, resulting in a perversion of outcomes. At times this involves overlooking the snitch’s crimes or becoming his advocate to those reluctant to do so, in extreme cases it involves becoming a co-conspirator. The John Connolly-Whitey Bulger relationship is an example of what can happen when an FBI agent allows his informant to act unchecked, and becomes his (junior) partner in crime.
Whitey Bulger’s case becomes instructive here, as he was murdered in federal prison, reportedly due to his reputation as a snitch. Whitey’s namesake nephew Jim was a partner in Hunter Biden’s influence peddling schemes with Chinese. According to the e-mails from Hunter Biden’s laptop, in 2011 Hunter was forwarded an article regarding Whitey’s capture with the subject line “Jim’s uncle” (as opposed to Biden’s Uncle Jim, who has similarly been implicated in influence peddling and related activities).
It is useful at this point to recall what we know and what Hunter Biden has told us about his life and drug addiction in that decade. His experience with parmesan cheese highlights his level of desperation. It is in identical circumstances that most addicts involved in criminal activity got sloppy and get caught.
It is not difficult to imagine Hunter Biden, who was authorized Secret Service protection as a member of the then Vice-President’s immediate family from 01/2009 until 01/2017, to find a friendly federal agent sympathetic to his plight and eager to give him a chance to make things right. Indeed, even when he was not authorized Secret Service protection and unlawfully purchased a handgun in 2018, there are reports that one of its special agents showed up at Starquest Shooters and Survival Company and attempted to remove the original copy of the form 4473 in violation of federal law.
One of the indicators that a criminal defendant may be cooperating is the lengthy amount of time between their crimes and/or arrests, and their actual sentencing or prosecution. This gives authorities ample opportunity to evaluate the quality of the cases the informant has given them, as well as increase the quantity of them.
As such, the scheduling of the change of plea and sentencing hearing on July 26 as his former business partner and Burisma Board member Devon Archer is set to begin his prison term for an unrelated fraud scheme might be cast in another light. Likewise, Chi Ping Patrick Ho was sentenced to three years for his role in bribing officials in Chad and Uganda on the behalf of CEFC, the Chinese Energy Conglomerate in which he was a partner with Hunter Biden ( a Chinese company bribing foreign officials for favorable treatment seems to come up frequently in Hunter Biden associates). It is not outside the realm of possibility that the tip that helped the often-challenged FBI locate Whitey Bulger has Hunter Biden DNA on it.
One of the hallmarks of a snitch is that those around them engaging in similar activity keep facing legal consequences, while the informant seems to have some kind of immunity from this. The contents of his laptop reveal Hunter was a big fan of surreptitious recording, which is another characteristic associated with this species of snitch. All of those who have been associated with Hunter Biden in any shady dealing should be looking over the shoulder for grand jury subpoenas and target letters, if they themselves have not already jumped on the cooperation bus, as it seems like the FBI will arrest anyone except “the Big Guy”.
