White House Flags Art Industry for Money Laundering While Letting Hunter Sell Art to Anonymous Buyers
You really can’t make this stuff up.
The White House flagged money laundering in the art industry on Monday as a point of corruption while allowing Hunter Biden to sell his artwork to anonymous buyers for as much as $500,000.
The first report of its kind named the United States Strategy on Countering Corruption is geared towards exploring the ways and means “government officials abuse public power for private gain.”
Though the White House’s report specifically focused on the art industry as a “market” where financial crimes occur, it did not mention the Biden family’s involvement with corruption, such as Hunter’s art selling scheme to investors while his father is president.

Zero jail time for man who knocked Minneapolis police officer unconscious during riot
Blindside a cop, attack police vehicles, and steal thousands from Home Depot and you too could be put on house arrest.
A man who knocked a Minneapolis police officer unconscious with a metal trash can lid during the riots of August 2020 will not go to jail.
Rather, the man, Brayshaun Gibson, will serve one year of house arrest thanks to a plea deal his defense reached with the prosecution. While this penalty has not yet been enacted, the presiding judge has agreed to the deal and will formally sentence Gibson soon, a judicial branch spokesperson told Alpha News.
The plea deal also dismisses two other unrelated cases; one where Gibson allegedly threw large rocks at a police car and another where he was accused of stealing from Home Depot at least 10 times and up to 194 times.
Gibson was propelled to online infamy after a video went viral that shows him throwing a heavy metal trash can lid into the back of a police officer’s head near Nicollet Mall in Minneapolis. The officer is seen immediately collapsing, unconscious, as the crowd cheers. This attack occurred during a riot that was inspired by a false internet rumor that police had killed a black man earlier that day.
The officer sustained a head injury and was treated for possible spinal damage, according to the original statement of probable cause that warranted Gibson’s arrest.
[Editor’s Note: Graphic video]
The attack at Nicollet Mall was not the only time Gibson has been accused of using violence against police during a riot. One of the charges that was dismissed, thanks to his recent plea deal, alleges that he threw “heavy rocks at a squad [car]” as police attempted to respond “to a stabbing during a riot situation” on May 28, 2020. This was during the peak of the George Floyd riots.
The other charge that was dismissed is not riot-related. It alleges that Gibson stole $3,386 of goods from Home Depot across 10 visits to the retailer.
The maximum penalty that could have been imposed against Gibson based on the three felony cases was 30 years in prison. However, he will now serve zero years behind bars.
The punishment provided under the terms of the plea bargain for knocking a police officer unconscious is so minimal that it’s lower than the typical minimum sentence for such a crime. This type of sentencing is allowed in Minnesota at the discretion of a judge; it’s called a “dispositional departure.”

Supreme Court dismisses charges against alleged child molester because of ‘gross negligence’ by police
Here ya go. Just flee the state to avoid prosecution for a couple years and the charges get dismissed! Whitey Bulger had the wrong lawyer.
A North Las Vegas man accused of sexually assaulting a child will walk free after the Nevada Supreme Court ruled that “gross negligence” by local law enforcement caused a long enough delay to violate his constitutional right to a speedy trial.
A three-judge panel led by Justice James Hardesty ruled last month in favor of Rigoberto Inzunza, arrested in 2017 on 16 charges of sexually assaulting a nine-year-old girl when he lived with the girl’s mother in 2008.
The court order upheld a lower court’s decision to dismiss charges against Inzunza over the 26-month delay between initial charges being filed against him in 2014 and his subsequent arrest more than two years later in New Jersey. That delay — attributed by the court to ”something more than mere negligence, but less than bad-faith intentional misconduct” by law enforcement — violated Inzuna’s constitutional right to a speedy trial, the judges said in the order.
“The only step taken by law enforcement to apprehend Inzunza was putting the arrest warrant in (a federal) database,” Hardesty wrote in the order. “Thus, we hold the investigation by law enforcement weighs in favor of Inzunza. The actions — or in this case the inaction — of law enforcement, despite the overwhelming information provided by (the victim’s) mother to locate Inzunza, is fatal to the State’s argument.”
A spokesman for the City of North Las Vegas did not return a request for comment on the case by publication time.
According to the order, Inzunza allegedly sexually assaulted a nine-year-old girl when he was living with the girl’s mother as a live-in babysitter, with the abuse continuing for a year until he moved out and relocated to New Jersey. Six years later, the girl disclosed the sexual abuse with her therapist, who informed her mother and filed a report with the North Las Vegas police department.

Welp, looks like you can get away with just about any nefarious activities except raising your voice at a school board meeting…or wearing a red hat…or taking an ill advised tour of the US Capitol Building.
Y’all fed up with this kind of BS yet? I know I am.
“Y’all fed up with this kind of BS yet?”
Deeply so.
This will please some:

Too bad it’s being presented by (p)Resident Xiden, instead of PDJT.
It’s always okay when Hunter does anything.
“Hunter is reportedly under investigation for tax and money laundering schemes, CNN first reported in 2020. The FBI is allegedly investigating whether Hunter and his associates violated “tax and money laundering laws in business dealings in foreign countries, principally China, according to two people briefed on the probe.””
I’m sure this is a low, low, low priority for the FBI, after all… There are parents speaking out against school boards!!! Also, there is the January 6 “investigation” and keeping all those folks locked up for months, some just for near the capitol, per cell phone geolocating, when felons in mostly blue states are being released daily without posting bail.
Here is a quote that I’m sure they, the January 6 committee, seem to be mirroring:
“It is better to put ten innocent people behind barbed wire than to leave a single actual opponent in freedom. Everything opposed to or inconsistent with National Socialist rule and its theory of state had to be removed.”
The quote is from the “Buchenwald Report”, a compendium initially produced in May 1945 regarding the purpose of the concentration camp system run by the SS or Schutzstaffel, known as the private army of the Nazi Party.
Every progressive is secretly envious of those cool uniforms and stuff for some reason:
They’re only concerned about money laundering and other financial crimes that Hunter might be involved in if ‘The Big Guy’ isn’t getting his cut of the action. Got to kick up to the right people and you can do what you like.
Well, the actual facts of the Las Vegas case (as recited in the link above) don’t quite match the rendering “Just flee the state to avoid prosecution for a couple years…”. He didn’t “flee” the state, he simply moved away in 2009, after the alleged act occurred — if at all — in 2008. No complaint was made to the police until 2014. Nevada police knew where he was, knew his car license plate number, his employer and his employer’s address and telephone number, but simply entered the unserved warrant or capias into NCIC and waited for somebody, somewhere, to stumble into him and discover the warrant/capias during a “wants and warrants” check. That apparently happened over two years later. So now the Defendant is expected to defend himself against something that he is alleged to have done 13 years ago!? How well can any man (or woman) account for where he was at a certain time and place 6 years ago? Add the delays, and it is now 13 years ago. And over two years of that delay was Nevada law enforcement sitting on their ass and not going out to get him. If they had acted promptly he would have been standing trial seven years ago. Apparently it was the nature of the offense that the Supreme Court of Nevada decided that his ability to defend was materially hampered by the passage of time … no surprise there. I once took a Defendant to trial 17 years after a sex with a minor offense, that 15 years after the indictment was issued. He was duly convicted and served 15 years in the Tennessee state pen. But that Defendant was in the Michigan state pen when we located him. He willfully refused to waive extradiction, so our District Attorney, like the Motel 6 spokesman, said “That’s OK, we’ll leave the light on for him.” That Defendant had the right to a speedy trial and intentionally refused it. (Bad decision on his part, he might have received concurrent — overlapping — sentences instead of serving the Michigan sentence to expiration,… Read more »
Wouldn’t it be great if gibson wound up like Joachim Peiper did back on July 14, 1976 in France.
Agreed. Peiper was an evil man – a former adjutant to Head of the SS Heinrich Himmler. Peiper personally ordered the massacre of 120 U.S. Army soldiers of the 285th Field Artillery Observation Bn, who had surrendered when their convoy had stalled with the 1st and last vehicle disabled.
Immobilized and outgunned, 120 soldiers who had surrendered and were now Prisoners of War were ordered into a field, along with other U.S. prisoners who had been captured that day, and machine gunned followed by a bullet to the head of any survivors. 43 soldiers escaped.
Initially given a death sentence by the War Crimes Tribunal in 1948, his sentence was commuted to 35 years and in 1956 he was released to time served and went to work for Porsche.
In 1974, a member of the French Resistance recognized him and on 14 July 1976, set fire to his house with him in it.
One Luftwaffe officer who saved U.S. POWs was Hannes Trautloft, an Ace, who received word that U.S. and Foreign POW’s were being held at Buchenwald Prison. He was the Inspector General of all fighter aircraft in 1944 and ordered by General Hermann Göring to find solutions to the deteriorating air war situation over Germany. He later heard a rumor of a large number of allied airmen imprisoned at Buchenwald Concentration Camp.
He visited the camp and was about to leave when a captured airman called to him in fluent German and informed him more than 160 allied airmen were prisoners there and begged rescue. Disturbed by the event, Trautloft returned to Berlin and began the process to have the airmen transferred out of Buchenwald. The allied airmen left seven (7) days before their scheduled execution.
Following the war he continued to serve in the Luftwaffe, retiring as a Lieutenant General in 1970.
My sources for the above were Wikipedia and the book I am currently reading:
Lightning Down – A World War II story of survival
The story follows Joe Moser from a farm in northern Washington state, through flight training in the P-38 Lightning and to his 42nd flight mission where over France he had to bail out after being hit by flak and then immediate capture and transfer to Buchenwald Concentration Camp instead of a POW Camp.
By “stupid people” in the Minneapolis story you mean the DA right?
