I think she had to. The defense was saying the investigation was closed with immunity, and the prosecutor was saying there still was an on going investigation. No matter what the plea deal was you can’t finalize it until the investigation is finished.

A leftie judge would have broomed the thing.

DOJ and defense had a crooked deal together. In agreement. Judge asked questions and then DOJ had to deny the deal was made. Otherwise they would've convicted themselves for the crooked sobs they are.
So then defense said only the crooked deal for us or not guilty.
The deal would have given Hunter immunity from prosecution on everything going forward. Also he was never charged with the gun crime but getting a deal for future charges should they occur.
Judge knew better.

They DOJ was trying to a pull a fast one. Say they are still investigating so they can’t answer House inquiries. But at the same time give Hunter immunity.

This was nothing more than sweeping the Hunter Biden life
such as it was, under the carpet, so not to involve daddy.
The trouble is, daddy is chin deep in everything.
This plea deal is so transparent, it’s sickening.

The nauseating reaction by MSM to all the crap swirling around the Biden’s is enough to make one Ill. Every sentence they say is framed to help the mist corrupt, lawless regime to ever infect the White House.

You watch - the prosecutor will be “investigated”.

Actually, I was more interested in Schumer’s response to questions from the press about the Biden situation: “I trust the prosecutors.” Even though they carry the elephant banner.

The fix has been and continues to be in. This is a case where both the prosecutor and defense attorney wish to give Hunter a sweetheart plea deal. They will both come up with so-called "solid legal footing" as requested by the judge. This will give the judge the excuse/cover to greenlight Hunter's slap on the wrist.
To anyone paying attention, we have a 2 tiered justice system. Those with political connections are served one form of justice and everyone else something entirely different.
God help us!

Monday the partner testifies. Unless a nationwide blackout, it may be too late. No deal. DOJ puts forward a fall guy. Then it’s up to Congress to keep going or not.

So they might still repackage the sweetheart deal and put it again in front of the judge. I can’t believe they were not prepared and on the same page about the deal—embarrassing.

More on the “COULD, MAY, MIGHT” conditions applied to the deal. Does anyone really think punter will abide by them? Or that anyone will even check compliance? 🐎💩

"a painful chapter in Hunter Biden’s life" So it is all about Hunter, and he is the victim.
Nothing to do with the Big Guy.

If Hunter had received this complete deal, he would not have been subject to prosecution for any of the corruption. Then he could testify at any trial of Joe that he, Hunter, was the only guilty party, and because of the deal, he could not be charged and Joe could walk.
Any honest prosecutor would put Hunter under oath and require him to testify against the other guilty parties.

...Republicans, who have spent months focusing on the Biden family in what have often been fruitless pursuits.Wapo conveniently does not mention that the DOJ and the FBI have been stalling and denying and lying about providing documents and answers to congressional investigators under the name of "ongoing investigations" that have supposedly been "ongoing" for years.

Sounds reasoned. I am not familiar with how all those things work.
