Wrong. The real reason was the DOJ wanted to have it both ways. DOJ was in a Catch 22 situation, they had to say he was under investigation because otherwise they could not use that excuse to avoid answering Congress Questions about the investigation.

If they said he was no longer under investigation then they would have to answer questions that would bury Weiss and Garland and destroy the DOJ’s credibility completely (not that it is in good shape now).

Hunter became a sacrificial lamb.

Nailed it.

Plus, the fact that both sides knew what the Committee’s amicus brief would do to the ‘deal’ and threw another sacrifice on the fire (Bengels). Furthermore, they tried to hide it by having the call to the court misrepresenting Kitilla originate not from Biden’s team, but from Latham & Watkins, ‘where Hunter Biden attorney Chris Clark was formerly a partner.’

Details on Bengels have also been intentionally misreported to obfuscate the seriousness of the event. Clark then ran cover firing threatening salvos at Kitilla re ‘tax details’.

Theodore Kittila wasn’t having any of that.

Thankfully, neither was Judge Noreika.

That's an outstanding explanation.
