    The judge barred attorneys from connecting his substance abuse struggles to the 2015 death of his brother Beau Biden from cancer or the car accident that killed his mother and sister when he was a toddler.

    How the hell is the judge qualified to claim that’s not possible? Does he have medical or psychiatric training? I mean I think Biden is a tax evader here and he deserves to be punished for stealing from the American people, but this judge seems unhinged to be making these broad rulings based on nothing as far as I can tell.

    Either way though I’m glad to see a rich fuck pay for this. I deeply wish more of them did.

      The beauty of a glass house is you can see out from any side. Even if you’re not an accountant who focuses on taxation.

        I’m sorry are you trying to argue that the person who just plead guilty to tax evasion it’s not a tax evader?

        Also I don’t think accountant is the one who decides what tax evasion is, I’d say that was the IRS. What’s their stance on this again?
