As Hunter Biden's sweetheart plea deal to avoid jail time or any real consequences for lying on his taxes and illegally obtaining a firearm showed signs of falling apart in a Delaware courtroom on Wednesday morning, the First Family's loyal defenders at CNN were beside themselves trying to understand the unfolding reality.
"Someone made a bad mistake here," host John Berman declared, stating the obvious. "How could there be such a big miscommunication?" pondered his cohost.
Eli Honig, a CNN legal commentator, came up empty too.
"I cannot even begin to explain how the Justice Department walks into that courtroom without knowing exactly what the scope of immunity or coverage is for Hunter Biden and, equally, I cannot even begin to understand how Hunter Biden's lawyers walk him into that courthouse without knowing exactly what the constraints, what the limitations of that deal are," Honig said.
Presumably, after years of apparent work by Biden allies to protect Hunter and the rest of the family from the consequences of their actions, both Hunter's legal team and the prosecutors who agreed to the sweetheart deal assumed that things would be smooth sailing on Wednesday. They just didn't expect a judge to scrutinize the deal.
What both the Justice Department's lawyers and Hunter's legal team apparently were not in agreement on dealt with potential future prosecution of Hunter Biden. Specifically, would the plea deal that had been agreed to — yet apparently deeply misunderstood — protect President Joe Biden's son from future charges.
As Griff Jenkins explained on Fox News Channel, the judge was — understandably — not willing to give Hunter some sort of get out of jail free card that extended into the future.
It’s a beautiful thing!
miscommunication?
Izzat what they call ‘lying’ now?...................
The meltdowns remind me of The Young Turks on election night 2016...
They are brooming Slo Joe out.
Look for Gavin Newsome to get the nomination, with possibly (15% chance) Moochelle Obama heading up the ticket.
Immunity from prosecution for all crimes past, present, and future. Damn, they didn’t want much.
The Rats “no one is above the law” narrative is falling apart. Everyone in the world can see that Biden’s nasty son is getting above the law treatment. The Rats polling numbers must be in the toilet.
It is hard to understand how you can present a plea agreement without actually coming to agreement on its terms. But the probable explanation is that the DOJ thought they could just sneak this past the Judge. DOJ would preserve its ability to claim ongoing investigation to avoid disclosing any documents, and Hunter could argue that the agreement immunized him from any further charges.
Joe Biden is a disgusting POS, he used his drug addicted pathetic son to make MILLIONS for the family
I guess it’s newsworthy when idiots do not understand something. Next: String theory.
Don’t know how judges are assigned in cases like this, but generally the Dems are grandmasters at judge shopping.
The corrupt press protects white liberal ‘elites’... even when they’re trash like Hunter. CNN sucks.
The Bidens family business is just pure bribery and extortion.
So, what I’m reading here is that Hunters lawyers are as clueless as he is stupid.
I can explain it.
The Bidens are not important to Deep State.
Deep State has stooges galore at its disposal.
If the Bidens have outlived their usefulness to Deep State, there are more, lots more, where the Bidens came from.
BINGO
I believe..
Hunter was supposed to plead guilty, Do a photo op in a soup kitchen. To show he is doing his community service.. paying for ALL his crimes, and now it is “settled science”.
Somebody at Justice, realized this IS coming back on them. So, they left “blanket immunity for EVERYTHING” out of the in writing part.
