Nonprofit org Marco Polo put emails from Hunter’s laptop online
and wrote 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 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.

If the sweetheart deal had gone through it would be the last straw ... no one would believe the BS about the United States having ‘justice’ for all.

The Biden’s and democrat filth have gotten enough passes from the corrupt press, FBI, DOJ, and deep state traitors to almost destroy our justice system. One more silly vile pass and it would be over.

NY TImes:
Judge Noreika quickly punctured that assertion when she asked a prosecutor,
Leo Wise, if the Biden investigation was “ongoing.” He replied “yes,” adding
that if Biden’s team thought otherwise, “then there’s no deal.”

From the start, the judge seemed highly skeptical of the unusual deal — which
offered Hunter Biden broad immunity from prosecution in perpetuity,
questioning why it had been filed under a provision that gave her no legal
authority to reject it. When she asked Leo Wise, a prosecutor, if there was any
precedent for the kind of deal being proposed, he replied, “No, your honor.”

Of course.

Then when anyone questions this piece of work, the MSM and Dems will say the matter was “thouroughly examined by the judge, a Trump appointee, who found it acceptable”.

Too weak!
The Hunter Biden plea proceedings have restarted and the president’s son has
agreed to a limited agreement that covers 2014 to 2019 and only includes conduct related to tax offenses, drug use and gun possession.

President Joe Biden's son will still plead guilty to the tax misdemeanors for
2017 and 2018, but the agreement will also cover his tax-related conduct for
the three years prior.

The two sides have agreed that this deal does not shield him from potential
future charges.

The proceedings are ongoing. --CNN

SlowJoe keeps resurrecting hunter as his “lovable son.”

But outside of the Deep State, tax cheat cokehead Hunter is seen as a whoremonger
who diddled his brother’s wife.....and her young daughter.....
and a criminal dealmaker, selling out Americans’ safety and security so the Bidens can get rich.

Nice catch........the judge questions why the plea deal had been filed
under a provision that gave her no legal authority to reject it.

I suspect the stuff we know on the ‘lovable son’ and the Sniffer are the tip of the iceberg.

Biden and filth aren’t the only folks in DC with many homes and mansions living hundred of thousands of dollars a year over their income. Or the only people getting passes from the DOJ and corrupt bimbos and pretentious ‘men’ of the press.,

Lot of kickbacks and ‘favor swapping’ going on... and lots of people getting really scared.

CNN:
The judge is asking Hunter Biden a series of questions about the facts that are
included in the charging documents.

The judge asked Biden for the names of the foreign companies where he has
worked.

"The Ukrainian energy company was Burisma," Biden said. Biden has also
mentioned his work for a Chinese energy company, CEFC. His ties to that
company have come under intense scrutiny by House Republicans.

The judge asked Biden, "You did know that you owed tax money, right?"

Biden said, "Yes, your honor."

Before the judge makes her decision, she should order Hunter to pee in a cup for a drug test. Then set the date for the criminal trial.

It is possible that The People will be responsible themselves for rendering justice to Hunter Biden and the rest of the corrupt operatives in this matter.

Griff Jenkins reporting the defense tried to get discussion in chambers, outside of the courtroom. Judge said no. Proceedings will be in the open.
