Hunter Biden’s plea deal is on hold after a judge raised questions Wednesday about the proposed plea agreement and a related agreement known as a pretrial diversion program.

Lawyers detailed aspects of the proposed deal in court, but the documents themselves have not been published on the court’s docket. POLITICO obtained them and is publishing them here.

Under the proposed plea agreement and diversion agreement, Biden would plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges and would be able to avoid punishment on a felony gun charge if he stayed out of trouble for two years. But at a tense court hearing, U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika questioned the constitutionality of the diversion agreement and refused to sign off on the deal, at least for now. Lawyers are due back in court in several weeks to revisit the issue.

What’s up with a third party paying his tax liabilities. Isn’t that in and of itself considered income (or gift) and therefore taxable?

Garland will soon come to Hunter’s rescue.

The judge did the right thing. I have no problem with a plea deal for specific crimes. Happens all the time. But I do when it’s a blanket wash of all crimes not covered in the specific plea.

What would be the date on that "plea agreement"?

Hunter himself briefly declared he was "entering a Plea Sentence" on or before Jan 20, 2021 - over two and a half years ago. How do we know this declaration to be authentic? Because it is on the official Whitehouse youtube channel, albeit a bit "hidden" from casual viewers of the video. Nonetheless, here is the link to it (1:16:30 thru 1:16:45 ):

President Biden Delivers Remarks and Signs Executive Orders

The above is fact, for your listening pleasure. What I'm not certain about, however have heard, is that Hunter has since violated the terms of the 2021 agreement, and has "suffered" the consequences. That 2021 plea deal was for his life.

Looks like Hunter has been making boat loads of money and knowingly cheating on his tax returns and not paying his “fair share.”

This isn’t somebody accidentally incorrectly completing their 1040, this guy clearly with the intent to defraud (cuz everybody knows hookers and crack aren’t deductible) commits multiple felonies, over multiple years. Change his last name to Trump and see how many decades of jail time and tens of millions of dollars in fines and penalties he’d be facing.

And the MSM thinks Biden. Is there unjustly being punished . . .
