Joe Biden claims Hunter would have received plea deal ‘if I weren’t running for re-election’: report
New York Post ^ | June 12, 2024 | Ryan King

President Biden has blamed politics for his son Hunter’s conviction Tuesday on federal gun charges — ignoring that his offspring’s defense attorneys helped scuttle a sweetheart plea bargain last summer that would have staved off the criminal case.

“If I weren’t running for re-election, he would have gotten the plea deal,” the elder Biden, 81, told one of his confidants earlier this month, according to Politico.

The reported remark recalls former President Donald Trump’s claim that prosecutors have engaged in “election interference” by pursuing criminal cases against him. Biden, in response, has called such claims by his great rival “reckless,” “dangerous” and “irresponsible.”

Now Biden is claiming that Hunter's conviction is election interference.

But of course, the Democult would never do that, right?

No, “Joe,” he is a drug addled criminal. This just scratches the surface.

and Trump wouldn’t have been charged with anything ever if he had stayed a private citizen.

Every Joe Biden interview ends with “and then he crapped his pants”.

So Hunter would have been bailed out on all his past crimes, as the rejected plea stipulated, not just the (unconstitutional IMO) gun crimes, if daddy had not been in power? That doesn’t seem like the win Joepedo thinks it is.

If Hunter’s last name wasn’t Biden, he’d be in prison. For years.

he is so much of a crook he has totally lost touch with how crooked he is. his son is guilty as sin - and of much worse. thank goodness there was a judge who saw through the Biden DOJ flimflam soft shoe routine trying to pull a fast one with eternal blanket immunity for the Bad Boy. and thanks to a serious jury and prosecutor . good on all 3.

Lets wait and see. He’s going to appeal for sure, and what kind of deals will be made is yet to come.

Hunter would have received a plea deal if the ‘right’ judge were overseeing the process.

Unlucky for him, a REAL judge was selected, and she questioned a blanket immunity deal encompassing any and all crimes, real or imagined, based on a 4473 violation case.

He’s right. Going after Hunter was in response to Joe backing out of the deal to serve only one term.

LOL. He DID receive a plea deal and blew it by pushing it too far.

His “Special Prosecutor” sabotaged the real cases, leaving only that deal to stand between him and his tax and gun prosecution.

Now that one is true.

All those hundreds of file photos of people in sports, entertainment, business and politics with an arm around Trump in a smiling scene.

And Bill and Hillary were at one of Trump’s weddings.

This clown joebama poopy pants FORGETS the “plea deal” which David Weiss tried to weasel through the Court— the Judge wasn’t having ANY of it.

So, joebama there was a Plea Deal already— and your idiot lawyers blew it. Not the fault of you being— anything at all. It’s the fault of shabby a@@ lawyering by shyster smart a@@ legal clowns who were “found out” by the Judge and.. denied the entire plea deal. Joeybags doesn’t recall and the press isn’t going to remind him or anyone else. What a load of pant pooh-.

It's almost as if there wasn't already a very generous sweetheart plea deal put together with the DoJ... that Hunter's lawyers rejected in court because it wasn't sweet enough.

Lies. The sweetheart deal was found out it and pummeled. It was a Kim Foxx Jussie Smollet slap on the wrist.

I agree with you about the unconstitutionality of the charges. I would have voted not guilty.
