Prosecutors tried to ‘hide’ a blanket immunity clause for Hunter Biden in a ‘crazy’ and ‘unprecedented’ tactic – but were exposed by the judge during the three-hour hearing with the president's son and his lawyers in her Wilmington courtroom Tuesday. says a former government lawyer.
Ex-Assistant US Attorney (AUSA) Will Scharf slammed prosecutors and Hunter’s legal team, led by Chris Clark, for allegedly trying to fool U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika into approving the generous and unorthodox plea deal without proper scrutiny, in a fiery interview with DailyMail.com.
The president’s son strolled into the courtroom in his former hometown, confident that his 'sweetheart deal' would breeze through – only to watch the plan to put his tax problems behind him crumble before his eyes.
Scharf, a former Trump administration official who is running for Attorney General of Missouri, claimed the proposed deal was ‘spitting in the face of justice’.
The former federal prosecutor, as well as courtroom witnesses and a transcript from the explosive hearing on Wednesday obtained by DailyMail.com, reveal the inside story.
Legal experts expected a perfunctory hearing to wave through Hunter’s ‘sweetheart’ plea deal over two tax misdemeanor charges in a Delaware federal court Wednesday.
But instead his pact with prosecutors fell apart when it was dissected by Judge Maryellen Noreika.
Hunter’s deal put before her consisted of two documents: a ‘plea agreement’, in which Hunter confessed to two tax misdemeanors; and a ‘diversion agreement’, where prosecutors pledged to drop gun charges against him if Hunter stuck to federal rules.
Buried in the diversion agreement was a clause that gave Hunter blanket immunity for a wide range of other potential charges that could be filed by the Delaware US Attorney, including illegal foreign lobbying.

Absolute scum.
Some people need to go to jail over this so-called plea deal. This plea deal was Nazi stuff.
Dershowitz was on Glenn Beck’s radio show yesterday talking about this.
One giant tell was there was no adversarial exchange going on here between the DOJ and HB’s legal team. They were working together to protect HB.
AD said he believed a deal will still be reached.
Imagine that!!!
A person who is know to have violated the law multiple times, and who left evidence all over the world... and who would...
be getting immunity from all of his crimes, current and future....
which not even a president could get...
except for Joe Biden.
Imagine the members of the Mafia getting that same kind of immunity. Those gangsters would own NYC and Chicago and all other metro cities in the U.S.and in Italy and other places.
Yet, Trump is being made out to be a bigger criminal, while he hasn’t committed any crimes at all. The Biden crime family’s crimes are well documented, and they would receive blanket immunity from any and all crimes?
Even Putin and Hitler would have loved that kind of favoritism.
Huh?
Did they offer Trump a plea deal with blanket immunity for everything after they wrongfully spied on his campaign, and attacked his people over bogus charges?
Yea, well at least the person responsible for investigating Joe Biden after the people came forward in 2014 were aggressively seeking to have the law be equal.....What was that DOJ employee again..... Jack Smith. LOL you can’t make this up.
They tried to hide the ‘Forever immunity clause’ inside the ‘pretrial diversion agreement’ and she caught them...................
He should spend 50 years in jail along with his lawyers and any democrat who is on his side.
These Lawyers should have been Sanctioned and Jailed for Contempt of Court, then referred to the BAR for Permanent Disbarment for perpetrating a Fraud upon the Court.
Apparently some people are above the law.
After being caught red-handed perpetrating extreme corruption, prosecutors who aren’t crooks to the core would resign in shame. That they have not done so says it all.
