You make a good point as to what Hunter Biden has said so far. But here’s how I think he’ll get off.

By prosecutorial misconduct.

Four types
What are the four types of prosecutorial misconduct
Failing to turn over exculpatory evidence. Tampering with evidence. Knowingly presenting false witness testimony or other false evidence to a court or grand jury. Asking a defendant or defense witness damaging and suggestive questions with no factual basis.

Examples of prosecutorial misconduct involving improper arguments include:
Asserting facts that are not in evidence.
Misstating laws.
Vouching for the credibility of a witness.
Mischaracterizing evidence.
Discriminating in jury selection.
Interfering with a defendant’s Constitutional rights.
Failing to train subordinates.

It would greatly benefit the Biden crime syndicate to have the prosecutor screw up and have a mistrial . Or if there is no mistrial, and a judgment is found against Hunter it will later be set aside for any number of reasons.

I understand what you're suggesting, but I don't think prosecutorial misconduct will work here.

Another fact that's not been widely reported is that, technically, there are no charges against Hunter Biden; he hasn't been indicted for anything! The so-called "plea deal" was really a back-door pardon since it wasn't tied to an actual indictment by a grand jury, and it gave Biden immunity from "future" crimes, that is, crimes not yet discovered (or perhaps even committed).

To borrow a phrase, the plea deal was an "ex-ante" arrangement.

What Biden himself could do is claim incompetent counsel. Biden could say that he would never have confessed in open court if he had known how flimsy the plea deal was, how unscrupulously the immunity was buried in the diversion program side-deal, and that he was shocked --- shocked --- to find out that his team and the prosecutors were colluding.

Nobody would believe it, but it would have enough cover to use it to wipe this all away and start over. They've been brazen enough to this point, why stop now?

Enforce this ^^^ and there won’t be a prosecutor or defense lawyer left in the US in 2 weeks.
