Hunter Biden’s sweetheart plea deal blew up epically. That now leaves everything on the table in terms of charges, as well as looking into Joe Biden’s connections to the scandal. We saw that on Monday as the House Oversight Committee interviewed Hunter Biden’s former partner Devon Archer. Archer confirmed Joe Biden was talking on the speakerphone into meetings, and that was the “big guy.” He also revealed information about another Chinese connection and the bizarre comment Hunter made about the Biden name and “handsome Aryan godlike men.” We will likely find out more about what he said, particularly when the transcript is released.
But now there’s new information that Hunter may have gotten himself in trouble again with what he told the judge during his plea hearing. During the hearing, Judge Maryellen Noreika asked Hunter about being a member of the bar.
...
“You’re member of the bar?” she asked.
“Yes, your Honor,” he replied. “District of Columbia and Connecticut, your Honor.”
Hunter Biden was admitted to the bar in Connecticut in 1997.
However, records show he’s been suspended in Connecticut for more than two years. A Judicial Branch spokesperson confirmed he was “not in good standing” and had an administrative suspension.
This was uncovered by Kevin Rennie, a Connecticut lawyer and former state legislator, who reported on it in his blog.
Rennie said Hunter should have known better, and he termed it misleading the judge.
A lawyer who is asked under oath where he is admitted to practice and does not include in his response that he is suspended from practice in one of them has misled the court.
He did not give her an answer that, I think most judges would see under these circumstances, was in good faith. It omitted crucial facts.
Biden didn’t keep up with the fees and the requirements. He’s been suspended since March 2021.
Connecticut Judicial Branch spokesperson Melissa Farley said the First Son ‘is currently not in good standing due to Attorney Biden’s failure to register or comply with the Statewide Grievance Committee’s [Minimum Continuing Legal Education] requirement since 2018…and to pay the Client Security Fund fee for 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022.’
The Client Security Fee goes into a fund to help clients who have experienced attorney fraud.
Rennie said he didn’t understand why Hunter didn’t pay the fees or why his attorneys didn’t just make sure that was done before the plea hearing.
‘It’s only $75,’ Rennie told DailyMail.com. ‘The Judicial Branch, they’re very good about reminding people that they need to pay by June 15. So I was surprised.
‘I was also surprised that given what we all assume he’s paying in legal fees, someone at the law firm representing him would have just checked the box to make sure everything was as it should be – such as ‘You paid the $75, didn’t you?’
They should have anticipated those basic biographical questions you’re going to be asked by a judge, especially when the intention was to enter a guilty plea.
‘It’s careless, not paying attention. I suppose that’s not a surprise given his history, which he’s certainly emphasizing in this proceeding.’
Given that Hunter and his legal team were already in trouble with the judge over the controversy about the person from their office calling up the clerk and allegedly trying to get amicus materials filed by the House Ways and Means Committee’s Jason Smith removed from the docket. Hunter’s legal team then claimed it was all a misunderstanding.
When the judge finds this out, this is also not likely to go over well if she thinks Biden wasn’t being forthcoming with her.
Gosh. It’s almost like this guy thinks he’s untouchable. Like he feels he’s somehow above the law. Weird, huh?
Actually, not a big deal, it’s an “administrative suspension.” He just forgot to send on his $200 bucks or whatever.
“Gosh. It’s almost like this guy thinks he’s untouchable. Like he feels he’s somehow above the law. Weird, huh?”
It could be an example of drug-induced dementia.
They have been getting away with this stuff for years and now they are looking at it and seeing most everything. Imagine if all the politicians were looked into like hunter is now.
“handsome Aryan godlike men” don’t have to pay fees.
Hunter is Untouchable. The Plea Deal was stopped but the Immunity Deal is in effect.
The Immunity Deal was not part of the case that went before the Judge. It was presented in a separate Addendum and she was not legally able to rule on it.
The only thing Hunter can EVER be charged with are the 2 misdemeanors he was already charged with and pled not guilty to.
”Continuing education? Yeah, I’ll get right on that”
I don’t see the judge making a big deal about this, especially if he promptly pays the bar what he owes them.
He’s a compulsive liar..
a chip off the old blockhead.
And from all appearances ..believes the
rules don’t apply to him.
And for good reason..they haven’t.
Until now?
According to the D.C. Bar website, Hunter Biden remains a member of the Bar in “good standing,” despite his breaking numerous rules of professional conduct.
The Bar states that it is misconduct for a lawyer to “commit a criminal act”
<><>that reflects adversely on the lawyer’s honesty, trustworthiness, or fitness as a lawyer
<><>that “many kinds of illegal conduct” reflect adversely on fitness to practice law,
<><>such as offenses involving fraud
<><>and the offense of willful failure to file an income tax return.
Hunter Biden faces two counts of willful failure to pay federal income tax......that we know of...... to which he recently pleaded “not guilty” in a court of law.
Attorneys risk the “possibility of probationary conditions” in cases of “addiction to drugs or intoxicants.” According to the text of Hunter’s failed plea deal, he “has a well-documented and long-standing struggle with substance abuse.” And was kicked out of the Navy after testing positive for cocaine.
Another bar rule states it is misconduct to “state or imply an ability to influence improperly a government agency or official.” There is corroborative proof Hunter has engaged in this numerous times.

I suspect the guy was too lazy or dysfunctional to sit through the minimum course load for those continuing ed requirements.
Not unusual where a lawyer who once was admitted to a state bar that he does not live or actively practice in forgoes the continuing education requirements and annual fees to let it lapse. It is not a suspension for disciplinary activity. In that case, I don’t think the judge will get nitpicky particularly when he is an active member of the DC bar...unless, of course, it was a Dem judge with Trump in front of him. Then, all bets are off.
If that is true why doesn’t the judge pronounce sentence. Which if it is only 2 misdemeanors and its his first offense? At least on the record..would probably mean probation.
Bobby Biden considered himself one of the “handsome Aryan godlike men.”
RACIST !!!!!
“You’re member of the bar?” she asked.
“Yes, your Honor,” he replied. “I’m a member of speakeasies in the District of Columbia and Connecticut, your Honor.”
I sort of hope they don’t charge ole Hunter on this, because if they do, it means another indictment of President Trump coming the next day.
it's not merely the $75; it's the continuing education requirements, as mentioned in the article.
A Judicial Branch spokesperson confirmed he was “not in good standing” to which the defendant, Bobby Biden explained in a drunken slur that he didnt need to stand as he had his own monogramed stool in every bar in Washington “because my name is Biden”
