and submitted a 630-page report summarizing its contents.
<><>MP famously said that judges are not obligated to accept plea deals
even if prosecutors and the defendant agree on them.
<><>that the plea deal, if accepted, makes a mockery of the phrase ‘slap on the wrist,’
<><>it will also send a sobering message that nepotism and proximity to political power determines outcomes in our criminal justice system.
MP found evidence for, at the very least, 459 violations of
state and federal laws and regulations on Hunter’s device as follows:
<><>140 business-related crimes,
<><>191 sex-related crimes,
<><>128 drug-related crimes.
These instances of criminal wrongdoing are supported by primary source evidence: emails, photos, videos, text messages, audio files, et al.
The plea deal for court consideration is so meager that the phrase ‘limited hangout’ does not describe the situation.”
A “limited hangout” is a public relations technique in which someone who wants to cover up something major admits to a very small portion in order to claim that the issue has been put to rest.
<><>guilty of felony charges of conspiracy to obstruct,
<><>guilty of obstruction of an agency proceeding,
<><>of making false statements to federal investigators
as you say.
