This is the biggest scam ever perpetrated
by anyone in govt.....least of all the WH.
<><> It’s depth of depravity reflects the Biden evil it’s hiding.
<><>NOTE: The Diversion Plea written for Hunter Biden wasn’t a real document.
<><> Billed as such, but it wasn’t a plea.
<><> Hunter could not plead to things for which he had not been charged.
<><>He had not been charged with anything.
<><> That means the thing presented in Noreika’s court was a joke......
<><>......b-u-t it has a provision that would protect Hunter (and thus Joe) from any past or future criminal charges.
FTA——Hunter’s sweetheart plea deal was set to see Biden plead guilty on two misdemeanor tax charges and a gun charge before it dramatically unraveled in federal court Wednesday, putting Hunter back in the spotlight.
U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika repeatedly torched parts of the agreement during a three-hour hearing in her Wilmington courtroom.
Among the provisions she railed against was
<><>a paragraph on any potential breach of the deal to defer prosecution on a gun charge –
<><>and who would decide if Hunter was found to have violated it.
Normally, prosecutors would make the determination. But under the language pushed by Hunter’s team, if the government believes there is a ‘knowing material breach’ of the agreement, it would seek a determination by the U.S. District Judge in Delaware – Noreika.
They would seek a determination based on a ‘preponderance of the evidence,’ and if they get one, could prosecute for perjury, obstruction of justice, or other criminal violations.
The judge called the deal ‘not standard’ and
<><>said it might be unconstitutional
<><>by giving her a role normally fulfilled by prosecutors themselves,
<><>prosecutors who are part of the executive branch.
The judge had federal prosecutor Leo Wise read from the agreement in open court, and Politico obtained the entire document.
JUDGE: ‘I don’t want to violate the separation of powers or do anything (un)constitutional.’
<><>said she had never seen a diversion agreement ‘so broad’ that it encompasses crimes in another case.
