Hunter Biden has two defense teams: Latham and Watkins and Joe Biden's DOJ

What was made very clear to me today was that Hunter Biden has two defense teams- Latham & Watkins and the Biden DOJ. You don't really need to know much about Latham and Watkins other than perhaps they tried to pull some shenanigans last night. And this:

In 2021,

Biden appointed Nicholas McQuaid to be the interim head of the Criminal Division of the Justice Department. Until his appointment, McQuaid had also been a partner at Latham, where he had worked on some cases with Clark. Justice Department conflict of interest rules would require McQuaid to receive a waiver to participate in oversight of the Hunter Biden probe. A DOJ spokesman, Joshua Stueve, declined to say whether McQuaid had received a waiver or recused himself from the case. Clark did not respond to a request for comment.
What you really want to learn about is Hunter's other defense team, also known as the Biden DOJ.

Meet  David Weiss

David Weiss is the schmuck who changed the outcome of the 2020 election. Supposedly a US Attorney dedicated to equal justice, Weiss's specialty is slow walking cases involving persons with the name Biden. Gary Shapley and Joe Ziegler, the elite IRS agents investigating Hunter Biden, came to an agreement with Biden's lawyers to extend the statute of limitations on Hunter Biden's felony tax evasion (the part where all the Burisma money came into play). Weiss did what he does best and allowed the SOL's to expire on the tax felonies.

Weiss allegedly negotiated the idiotic plea deal that blew up today.

Hunter Biden, President Biden's son, has reached a tentative deal with the U.S. attorney in Delaware, agreeing to enter guilty pleas to two misdemeanor tax charges and admitting to felony gun possession, according to a Justice Department filing.
From a great piece by Sarah Bedford, Meet Alexander Mackler
A close associate of the Biden family appears to have spent years working in the Delaware U.S. attorney’s office, including during the months when whistleblowers said the office took up an investigation of Hunter Biden.

Alexander Mackler served as press secretary in Joe Biden’s Senate office and, later, as legal counsel in his vice presidential office. Mackler managed the late Beau Biden’s successful campaign for Delaware attorney general in 2010.

And Mackler served on the Biden-Harris transition team in 2020, helping the Biden administration create the blueprint for its Justice Department.

Mackler also appeared to have a close personal relationship with Hunter Biden. In emails found on Hunter Biden’s laptop, Mackler corresponded frequently with Hunter Biden and his business associates and even referred to Hunter Biden fondly as a “brother” in October 2018. Mackler was working under U.S. Attorney David Weiss in the office at that time, according to his LinkedIn page, which lists him as having worked in the Delaware U.S. attorney’s office from August 2016 to May 2019.

Turns out that Mackler is another Captain Slow.
According to testimony to the House Ways and Means Committee from Joseph Ziegler, a top IRS agent on the Hunter Biden case for years, the Delaware office had an investigation into Hunter Biden’s financial dealings by January 2019.
Five freaking years and they couldn't bring a tax felony case against Biden.

Meet Lesley Wolf

Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf featured prominently in the testimony of two IRS agents who spent years working on the Hunter Biden investigation. Both Gary Shapley and Ziegler, the IRS whistleblowers, said Wolf intervened to stop multiple investigative steps from moving forward, including by preventing FBI agents from asking witnesses any questions about Joe Biden’s involvement in foreign business affairs and by tipping off Hunter Biden’s attorneys about a planned search of his storage unit.

Wolf worked alongside Mackler in the U.S. attorney’s office before Mackler’s departure. She and Mackler prosecuted a major case together, for example.

Yesterday Jason Smith (R-MO) filed an amicus brief including the testimony of the two IRS agents.

The Bidens seem more like clients of Wolfram & Hart International and Interdimensional law firm.

They tried to give him not only a sweetheart deal, but immunity from future prosecution.

And they tried to hide it in the technical jargon.

So the DOJ prosecutors and hunter’s defense must have worked together.

The judge saw through it

Judge Noreika had the attention of the universe, especially after whistleblower revelations daily and the dumbass attorney that fake called to have some part thrown out.

Granting it would have essentially joined the crooks trying to pull it off and if justice was ever served she’d be joining them in the consequences. She preferred not.

By seeing through this crooked plea bargain deal and sham legal immunity deal, the judge has saved her good name and reputation. However, the brave judge has opened herself up to Arkancide/Epsteinocide, etc. May God save and protect the brave and honest judge!
