HUGE: Hunter Biden’s Legal Team Used Joe Biden to Blackmail DOJ
PJ Media ^ | 08/20/2023 | Matt Margolis

Posted on 08/20/2023 4:05:19 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

A stunning nugget of information dropped late Saturday night, giving us a peek into the sausage factory of Hunter Biden’s legal strategy that ultimately led to his sweetheart plea deal. It turns out that Hunter Biden wasn’t only using his father’s position in his shady business deals, but he also actively weaponized it to get an unprecedented plea deal.

The plea deal, as you know, was deemed unconstitutional by Judge Maryellen Noreika, and she rejected it — namely over the blanket immunity he would receive as part of the pretrial diversion agreement. Not only would Hunter get no jail time, but he also couldn’t be prosecuted for a multitude of crimes he’d allegedly committed, including violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act.

The crimes that Hunter was accused of, namely using and distributing illicit drugs while illegally possessing a firearm, would not only require being charged with a felony but could also have seen him face as much as ten years in prison with a mandatory minimum of five. The pretrial diversion agreement wiped that charge clean, and it turns out Hunter’s legal team knew just how to get what they wanted.

In the fall of 2022, a notable shift occurred in Hunter Biden’s legal battle. News had leaked that federal agents believed they possessed sufficient evidence to charge Hunter with unlawfully acquiring a firearm while being a drug user.

According to a report from Politico, on Halloween, Hunter’s lawyer Chris Clark, furious over the leak, used the threat of calling Joe Biden as a witness if U.S. Attorney David Weiss charged him with the gun crime.

Among the 'best', most disgusting quotes from the article:

"But Clark argued in his letter to Weiss that charging Hunter Biden with a gun crime would torpedo public trust in the Justice Department."

SNIP

"After all, Clark noted, federal law enforcement officials had known about Biden’s gun episode since 2018. Only politics explained why years later they were considering charges, he argued."

Imagine for a moment. Everything we know about Hunter and his actions was actually done by Don Jr while his father was President of the US. Plus, plus his father the President, used his influence over the DOJ, FBI and IRS to get Hunter’s sweetheart deal. Now image how the MSM would be reporting these stories!

“I was relieved to click on this thread and not see Gateway Pundit as the source, as they have been 100% wrong on everything so far. “

GW Pundit has thousands of articles, can you link to a couple of their incorrect articles?

.
DoJ and FBi didn’t need their arms twisted or pressure applied.

How many examples does one need to see?

In the Trial of Patrick Ho, the DoJ asked the Judge to ban the use of the Biden name during the Trial, and the Judge agreed.

In 2017 email on Hunter’s laptop outlines the Big Guy gets 10% of the deals.

The FBi had that in 2018 or 2019. They were investigating Hunter’s associates and they were all pretty open about the Scam, and then in 2019, they are handed the Laptop.

Please explain how you blackmail the DOJ when the head of said agency is an enthusiastic deep state lackey.
