Hunter Biden pleads not guilty after plea deal is derailed

WILMINGTON, Del. — Hunter Biden pleaded not guilty to federal tax charges Wednesday after a plea deal he struck with the government unraveled when the judge raised questions about the terms of the agreement.

The surprise development came at a hearing in federal court here at which Biden had been expected to plead guilty to two charges of failure to pay taxes under a deal he struck with the government last month. Far from a done deal, he pleaded "not guilty" to those charges instead until the two sides can meet and address the questions posed by U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika.

Is this real or a face fake, by Merrick Garland.

“I know I’m dumb about this legal crap.”

And your post is out-dated.

Things not going according to plan for the Biden crime family today? No worries - Release the Trump Indictment! I’m sure Jackie boy has already been given his marching orders.

I thought he pleaded guilty on the tax charges up to 2019. After 2019 he’s fair game.

I saw the leading emphasis on the Tax and gun charges and failed to read the whole very long article. Upon further reading I see:

“Noreika also raised a hypothetical, asking if Biden could face charges for failing to register as a foreign agent and whether the agreement blocks his prosecution for such a charge. The defense said they believed the agreement would prohibit him from being charged, and the prosecution then disagreed.

Biden’s lawyer, Christopher Clark, said to the prosecutor “then we’ll rip it up”

The judge found out the prosecution was keeping detail of the agreement close to the hip. If the judge had agreed to the plea deal, Hunter would have been immuned to ALL past crimes going up to 2019.

He was guilty before he was not guilty.

Does this mean that there will be a trial?

I’m not entirely dumb about legal matters, and I know that a “not guilty” plea is usually followed by a trial.

This is because of Biden’s cancer gaffe yesterday. They are using Hunter’s life as leverage to get Joe to drop out before the end of 2023.

They will NEVER find a jury to convict him no matter the evidence.

He still has some time, but the writings on the wall. Biden is going to pardon his son.

Nothing is going to happen to this slimy bastard, at least from the judicial system. And in the off-chance a Federal courts finds him guilty of anything, pops will pardon him, to the howls of right-wing conservatives across the country.

There are probably better odds of some disgruntled drug dealer or pimp taking him out.
