Now that a special deal prepared for Hunter Biden that would have eliminated a list of potential felony charges regarding tax and gun violations has blown up, the question is about what comes next.
A federal judge refused to accept the plea deal that would have let Biden off of any future prosecutions, even from issues not yet investigated, this week.
Ordinarily, that would mean that the original charges would be set for trial, but observers are confident that there will be another deal proposed on the tax and gun charges.
But what about those OTHER counts?
A report from the Washington Examiner suggests that he could face a complaint regarding the federal Foreign Agents Registration Act, as he “lobbied U.S. officials, alongside many others who did not register under FARA, for work that, emails show, clearly involved advocacy that would trigger the FARA requirements.”
That work involved advocacy for Burisma, the Ukrainian gas company that was paying Biden tens of thousands of dollars per month to be on its board.
Others that did similar lobbying eventually, after the fact, registered as foreign agents after they were prodded by the Justice Department.
That company, Blue Star Strategies, was under investigation by the DOJ at the time.
It never was explained, however, why they were allowed to register after the fact, and not face penalties for their failure to do so when required.

“Sally Painter and Karen Tramontano, the Blue Star Strategies consultants whose emails reflect a close working relationship with Hunter Biden on Burisma, registered as foreign lobbyists representing Burisma’s chief, Mykola Zlochevsky, in 2022. Zlochevsky was under criminal investigation in Ukraine,” the Examiner reported.
Tramontano and Painter admitted helping set up meetings between Zlochevsky’s attorney and State Department officials, according to FARA documents. Those meetings occurred in 2016, while Joe Biden was vice president.
Blue Star, Hunter Biden and others worked extensively to promote Burisma “across many fronts,” the report said.
IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley even cited the Blue Star work, explaining that the Justice Department slow-walked a search warrant for Blue Star Strategies’s emails in 2020.
Shapley said a federal prosecutor in the Delaware U.S. attorney’s office even said any such search likely would not be allowed.
The report noted any FARA charges would be in addition to “the more serious allegations of money laundering and bribery that witnesses have raised” against the Bidens.
IMPORTANT NOTE: To their horror, America’s ruling elites failed to knock out Donald Trump during his four years as president via the fabricated Trump-Russia collusion scandal – conceived and funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign, as the Durham report proves – or through two circus-like impeachment trials. Later came “January 6,” a demonstration-turned-riot by Trump supporters who passionately believed, with good reason, that the recent election – and therefore their country – had just been stolen from them. Members of Congress now want to constitutionally bar Trump from again seeking public office for having instigated “an armed insurrection” (no protester was armed) against America.
Then in March, Trump was indicted in New York on 34 counts of falsifying business records, and in June, still more indictments were filed against Trump – 37 federal criminal charges related to his handling of classified documents. Honest legal experts not in league with the Biden administration openly classify these indictments as somewhere between frivolous and idiotic, not to mention grotesquely politically motivated.
The Deep State’s never-ending persecution of Donald Trump, as well as the incredible back story of the totalitarian agenda Trump’s persecutors are attempting to implement in America and why Trump represents a mortal threat to their nefarious designs – is the focus of the blockbuster July issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled “THE PERSECUTION OF DONALD TRUMP: Why the ruling elites loathe – and fear – the 45th president.”
