First son Hunter Biden’s legal team was accused of pulling a dirty trick late Tuesday to block the release of damning evidence ahead of his expected guilty plea to federal charges of tax evasion and weapons crimes.
The drama began in the morning when the House Ways and Means Committee filed an amicus brief to Delaware US District Judge Maryellen Noreika arguing that the 53-year-old had benefited from “political interference which calls into question the propriety of the investigation” into alleged crimes including money laundering, felony tax evasion and failure to register as a foreign agent.
The filing included testimony by two IRS whistleblowers who sat for transcribed interviews May 26 and June 1.
What happened next was outlined in a letter sent to the judge Tuesday afternoon by the committee’s top lawyer, Theodore Kittila.
“[A]t approximately 1:30 p.m., we received word that our filing was removed from the docket,” Kittila said. “We promptly contacted the Clerk’s office, and we were advised that someone contacted the Court representing that they worked with my office [emphasis original] and that they were asking the Court to remove this from the docket. We immediately advised that this was inaccurate. The Clerk’s Office responded that we would need to re-file. We have done so now.”

Knew judge was a she, just mis-typed.
So I take it the House hearing material was in fact deleted from the case, notwithstanding the apparent deceptive tactic.
The judge will have no documented reason not to approve the plea deal and let Hunter walk, and have immunity from further prosecution because of double jeopardy.
So a low-level employee gets sanctioned by the court, not big deal as far as the law firm is concerned. They got their high-profile client a walk-away deal, and that’s all that matters.
Not if you work for one of the big national firms. Disbarment only happens to little firm lawyers and it’s usually over trust fund violations.
🚨Want to know what I find interesting? The lawyers who tried to mislead the judge in the Biden case only asked for the Ways and means committee to be “removed” and not this amicus which also had what theirs had - and more.
Seems to me they were sending a message to brave… https://t.co/VKbyirDTAh— Tracy Beanz (@tracybeanz) July 26, 2023

I think that Biden fought McCarthy in the last budget fiasco to keep the IRS money in the law as that was the deal Biden made with the IRS to get Hunter out of trouble.
