I think she had to. The defense was saying the investigation was closed with immunity, and the prosecutor was saying there still was an on going investigation. No matter what the plea deal was you can’t finalize it until the investigation is finished.

[joesbucks]

As she should.

A leftie judge would have broomed the thing.

DOJ and defense had a crooked deal together. In agreement. Judge asked questions and then DOJ had to deny the deal was made. Otherwise they would've convicted themselves for the crooked sobs they are.

So then defense said only the crooked deal for us or not guilty.

The deal would have given Hunter immunity from prosecution on everything going forward. Also he was never charged with the gun crime but getting a deal for future charges should they occur.

Judge knew better.

This was nothing more than sweeping the Hunter Biden life
such as it was, under the carpet, so not to involve daddy.

The trouble is, daddy is chin deep in everything.

This plea deal is so transparent, it’s sickening.

Actually, I was more interested in Schumer’s response to questions from the press about the Biden situation: “I trust the prosecutors.” Even though they carry the elephant banner.

The fix has been and continues to be in. This is a case where both the prosecutor and defense attorney wish to give Hunter a sweetheart plea deal. They will both come up with so-called "solid legal footing" as requested by the judge. This will give the judge the excuse/cover to greenlight Hunter's slap on the wrist.

To anyone paying attention, we have a 2 tiered justice system. Those with political connections are served one form of justice and everyone else something entirely different.

God help us!

So they might still repackage the sweetheart deal and put it again in front of the judge. I can’t believe they were not prepared and on the same page about the deal—embarrassing.

[rktman]

More on the “COULD, MAY, MIGHT” conditions applied to the deal. Does anyone really think punter will abide by them? Or that anyone will even check compliance? 🐎💩

Pumps the brakes? More like...

"a painful chapter in Hunter Biden’s life"

So it is all about Hunter, and he is the victim.

Nothing to do with the Big Guy.

[Moorings]

...Republicans, who have spent months focusing on the Biden family in what have often been fruitless pursuits.

Wapo conveniently does not mention that the DOJ and the FBI have been stalling and denying and lying about providing documents and answers to congressional investigators under the name of "ongoing investigations" that have supposedly been "ongoing" for years.

[OSHA]

How indefensible is the “pinky swear you’re vewy vewy sorry and you’ll never do it again” plea bargain?

A hazmat trip to DU yielded not a single thread on the subject defending Hunter or attacking the judge.

[minnesota_bound]

The judge may end up ‘drowning’ while on a paddle board or ‘drowning’ while hiking in the mountains.
