The Hunter Biden gun conviction was the easy part. It was an easy case to prosecute and for the jury to finish. Frankly, I'm surprised that the Bidens didn't admit guilt and settle out of court. At least, it would have kept all that information about his personal life off the pages. Having relations with the brother's widow? Does it get any more obscene than that?

Now, it goes to the next case. Many believe that his problems are just beginning. This is the story:

With a verdict in Hunter Biden's gun trial now rendered, the president's son is next set to stand trial in California, where he faces nine federal tax charges in a second case brought by special counsel David Weiss.

The president's son was indicted in December and has pleaded not guilty to all counts. Prosecutors allege that Hunter Biden engaged in a four-year scheme to not pay at least $1.4 million income taxes for the tax years 2016 through 2019. Weiss and his team claim that Hunter Biden made more than $7 million between 2016 and the fall of 2020, and spent millions on an "extravagant lifestyle" while failing to pay his taxes.

Hunter Biden spent money on "drugs, escorts and girlfriends, luxury hotels and rental properties, exotic cars, clothing and other items of a personal nature, in short, everything but his taxes," according to the indictment.

He is charged with six misdemeanor counts of failure to file his tax returns and pay taxes, one felony count of tax evasion and two felony counts of filing a false return.

Hunter Biden's lawyers sought to have the indictment tossed out on numerous grounds. They alleged in part that the Justice Department's investigation into the president's son has been motivated by politics, Weiss was unlawfully appointed special counsel and a diversion agreement between Hunter Biden and prosecutors remains in effect.

The problem is that the next episode or case gets closer to his father and maybe his uncle. How did this troubled man with no experience in any business background generate this kind of money flow? What was he selling or what talent was he bringing to the table? The answer is a five-letter word, or "Biden."

See you in September, Bidens.
