EXCLUSIVE: Hunter Biden's plea hearing could be DELAYED as Justice Department considers firestorm of 'sweetheart deal' allegations by whistleblowers and claims that AG Merrick Garland lied to Congress about criminal tax probe
Daily Mail ^ | 7/07/23 | Josh Boswell

A DoJ official says the department is discussing delaying Hunter Biden's plea hearing – following a firestorm of 'sweetheart deal' allegations by whistleblowers and claims that the Attorney General lied to Congress about the Biden criminal probe.

On July 26 a Delaware federal judge is set to decide whether to accept the First Son's plea deal with prosecutors over two tax misdemeanors.

Republican lawmakers are calling for Judge Maryellen Noreika to toss out the 'slap on the wrist' and 'sweetheart' deal entirely, after whistleblowers from the IRS who investigated Hunter for five years say that he could instead have been charged with a raft of more serious tax and corruption crimes.

Now, a legal filing reveals the DoJ is considering delaying the finalizing of the plea deal amid the opprobrium.

Conservative charity the Heritage Foundation is suing the Justice Department for failing to release Delaware prosecutor David Weiss' communication records under the Freedom of Information Act.

A court filing by the Foundation last week documented a June 29 phone call between their lawyer and DoJ counsel Jason Lynch, in which the Justice official allegedly made the stunning admission.

Foundation lawyer Samuel Dewey pointed out to the DoJ attorney that they could ask the federal judge in Hunter's criminal case for his July 26 plea hearing to be delayed, to give them more time to process and release Weiss' records and allow scrutiny of the prosecutorial bargain.

'DoJ Counsel indicated that Plaintiffs were ''absolutely right'' that the Department could file such a motion and that DoJ Counsel would take that point back to the 'District' (presumably speaking of the District of Delaware),' Dewey wrote.

Dewey's description suggests the Justice Department could now be debating whether to delay cementing the plea deal.

Isn’t it about time for Hunter die a martyr’s death on the altar of Fentanyl, to give his father a convenient issue to campaign on? After all, it ‘s like anybody would seriously expect Joe to actually do anything constructive, but tough-guy speeches; Cmon Man, that’s his specialty!

Meanwhile on the cocaine action:

Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., is calling for President Biden and White House staff members to take a drug test after a bag of cocaine was found inside the executive mansion over the holiday weekend.

“So let me get this straight, the White House is refusing to say whether the cocaine culprit will be arrested,” Boebert questioned in a tweet on Thursday.

“Well, I think we should drug test EVERYONE, including Joe Biden, until we know who smuggled illegal drugs into the White House,” she said.

They should be charging the DAs with obstruction of justice for letting the statute of limitations run out on the biggest tax charges.

Merritt Garland is a liar and should have never been confirmed. Our government is totally corrupt.

I somehow doubt they’re considering doing anything other than ramming their plan through the Just Us system.

We see these reports and they’re invariably from people that haven’t figured out the Corruption is on the inside and they give these Peeps the benefit of the doubt for 12-15 years never figuring it out.

Delaware is Corrupt through and through. They think the system exists to benefit the Rich and Powerful.

All this stuff was known before the 2020 Election and they circled the wagons and protected Joe.

One has to be detached to a spectacular degree to believe they’re going to abandon a six year plan that got Joe Elected once already when the Deep State holds all the cards.

There’s zero accountability.

This has been in the works for a long time. They’re not walking away from all their efforts.
