Hunter's Lawyer: No New Charges Expected From Weiss
Newsmax ^ | 8/13/23 | Charlie McCarthy

Hunter Biden's attorney said Sunday a trial is "not inevitable" following the collapse of a proposed plea deal, and he does not expect new charges to be brought against his client by special prosecutor David Weiss.

Attorney General Merrick Garland on Friday elevated Weiss, the U.S. attorney in Delaware, to special counsel after a proposed plea deal between President Joe Biden's son and the Justice Department fell through in court on July 26.

Weiss has been probing Hunter Biden for alleged tax fraud and illegal firearm possession.

Attorney Abbe Lowell told "Face the Nation" host Margaret Brennan that he's "confident that if this prosecutor does what has been done for the last five years," there will be no new charges.

"There's no new evidence to be found," Lowell told Brennan. "Some of these transactions are years old. They've had people in the grand jury. They've had data that was provided to them.

Hunter's lawyer doesn't expect the "special prosecutor" who works for the same DOJ that ignored the Biden's corruption for years to find anything new to charge Hunter with.

The US republic is dead.

474 crimes and a few minor charges, if you’re one of Them.

But Trump gets (lets see) 90 indictments.

Including such horrors as misposting invoices to the ledger, and then paying such invoices.

Weiss will drag this out until he feels he has been paid enough, then announce that no reasonable prosecutor will go near this. Hillary 2.0.

Hunter don’t have very many friends but Garland managed to find one. Another US “justus” system coverup and farce in progress.

How could they, they let the major violations statute of limitations run. That clown should be charged with criminal malfeasance.

Weiss is a loyal appartchik. He will do absolutely nothing that would harm or discomfit the Democratic Party. The Biden cabal and their globalist quest will not be disturbed. Hunter Biden has absolutely nothing to worry about. On the other hand decent, rational Americans who value their country, freedom and individual liberties should be very concerned. Expect no justice from the corrupt Merrick Garland or his hopelessly corrupt DOJ.

When the prosecutor and the defense attorney are both interested in letting the client off the hook, we get weiss and lowell.

“The US republic is dead.”

Yes, the United States is now a post Constitutional nation.
Operating under the rules of the entitled instead of the Rule of Law. Very similar to Tito’s Yugoslavia. If the rulers are able to hold the states together.

What about Hunter and Joe accepting money from foreign companies to lobby in the US? FARA act violations?

https://www.justice.gov/nsd-fara/recent-cases
Manafort—for Lobbying for Ukraine (NOT RUSSIA).
Flynn—for giving a lecture and Turkey (NATO ally)

Biden’s took money from China CCP and Russian Oligarchs. No FARA act violation?

What a joke the FBI and Department of Justice have become. Never going to listen to the line about the ‘Rank and File’ again. It’s all corrupt. Make new agencies, or re-assign.
Close them both and revoke all pensions associated with these agencies, unless they were whistle blowers.

They are piling some 500 (!!!) felonies on Trump, but not so much as a wrist slap on the Bidens. This from Democrats around the country who let violent criminals off without even cash bail. Serial killers get less than 100 felony charges, but the former President gets around 500. If this doesn’t make it clear the US is done, I don’t know what does.

They do it out in the open, they don’t care. They can do anything they want.

of course not - since this is already more than 5 yrs old they’ll footdrag until all statutes of limitations have passed. and isn’t that what Joe’s SCounsel is doing - dead as a doornail.

They didn’t expect the sweetheart deal to get rejected either but it did.

However, I am not optimistic.

Is that a Weiss in his pocket or another $5 million dollar check from Burisma?

Highly bureaucratic way to get a change in venue for a new judge.

Abbe Lowell was John “Two Americas” Edwards’ lawyer when none other than Jack Smith spectacularly lost the fed case against Edwards in 2012. Small, cozy world in the Democrat universe.

Don't you remember all Sean Hannity's FBI rank and file whistleblowers and those who resigned in disgust
at the rampant corruption at the highest levels of FBI management?

No one else does either.....
