Bombshell Reports: Weiss Was Preparing to Let Hunter
Walk With No Charges...........Until This Happened
Townhall ^ | 08/21/2023 | Guy Benson

The New York Times and Politico published a pair of lengthy stories detailing the collapse of Hunter Biden’s plea deal over the weekend, and they’re packed with extraordinary details.

It seems likely that members of the president’s son’s legal team acted as sources for both pieces — which offer a series of jaw-dropping claims about what was happening behind the scenes before the wrist-slap agreement disintegrated in open court, as the result of a simple question from the presiding judge.

Early in the Times story, I had to re-read this sentence: “The deal’s collapse — chronicled in over 200 pages of confidential correspondence between Mr. Weiss’s office and Mr. Biden’s legal team, and interviews with those close to Mr. Biden, lawyers involved in the case and Justice Department officials — came after intense negotiations that started with the prospect that Mr. Biden would not be charged at all and now could end in his possible indictment and trial.”

The prospect that Hunter Biden “would not be charged at all”? Excuse me? Indeed, according to the Times, the so-called ‘prosecutor’ in this case — and I use scare quotes because David Weiss does not appear to have demonstrated any appetite for actually prosecuting this case in a meaningful way — was inclined to let the president’s son skate entirely. But then the IRS whistleblowers came forward, and the political calculus changed:

Earlier this year, The Times found, Mr. Weiss appeared willing to forgo any prosecution of Mr. Biden at all, and his office came close to agreeing to end the investigation without requiring a guilty plea on any charges. But the correspondence reveals that his position, relayed through his staff, changed in the spring, around the time a pair of I.R.S. officials on the case accused the Justice Department of hamstringing the investigation.

Mr. Weiss suddenly demanded that Mr. Biden plead guilty to committing tax offenses. Now, the I.R.S. agents and their Republican allies say they believe the evidence they brought forward, at the precise time they did, played a role in influencing the outcome, a claim senior law enforcement officials dispute.

there had never been any visitor logs kept at the First Family residences or lodgings during travel, and that they intended to continue following that precedent.

Notice as everything we peasants do or say is recorded and tracked, we are completely locked out of knowing what our leaders do or say.

Organized crime is what these people operate. They live completely outside the law and any rules.

Video of Brandon asleep during the Maui ceremony reveals a disturbing breathing pattern. Sleepy Joe was missing his CPAP machine.

"the pResident's trip to Hawaii"

How embarassing!

The Pedo falls asleep during a ceremony for the victims, wakes up, mouth agape, no clue where he is.

Minor correction:

“(environmental activist’s $18 million dollar mansion)”

should be:

“(environmental activist’s carbon guzzling $18 million dollar mansion)”

You’re welcome . . . :o)

I think it is Jill hiding. Joe is too arrogant to hide. Jill is embarrassed to be with the Bidens. She can’t ever wash off that Biden stink now.

Dementia can cause circadian rhythm disorders.

Jet lag could exacerbate the problem.

And it looks like it did in this case.

What’s really interesting is that Deep State doesn’t appear to be terribly bothered by the fact that their POTATUS looks likely not to make his USE BY date.

“a White House spokesperson told Fox New Digital that there had never been any visitor logs kept at the First Family residences or lodgings during travel, and that they intended to continue following that precedent.”

Utter BS. The Secret Service has logs. They’d be derelict in their duties if they didn’t.

For someone who spends so much time at the beach, he looks like hell. He’s so pasty and sickly looking.
