The highlight of the FBI’s investigation into Hillary Clinton was when immunity deals were handed out to all her associates in “exchange for their cooperation” and then all of their devices were erased and destroyed.
The Hunter Biden investigation followed by a slap-on-the-wrist plea deal was equally a cover-up pretending to be an investigation.
And a judge just threw it out the window.
Judge Maryellen Noreika refused to accept a revised plea deal between the two parties after a three-hour hearing Wednesday, which would have offered Hunter Biden broad legal immunity from all tax crimes that took place between 2014 and 2019, as well as any drug or firearm charges. She ordered prosecutors and Hunter Biden’s attorneys to strike a new deal that limits the legal immunity offered to the first son.
The rejected deal came after the collapse of an initial plea agreement, which fell apart following a series of unusual last-minute disputes between his attorneys and federal prosecutors. Hunter Biden’s attorney, Chris Clark, said the agreement was “null and void” after a top prosecutor in the case said it would not provide the first son permanent legal immunity, the New York Times reported.
Permanent legal immunity in exchange for what? Nothing. So Hunter Biden is pleading not guilty while assuming that the party will protect him.
Even the New York Times coverage of this legal circle has been forced to admit it’s a cover-up.
From the start, the judge seemed highly skeptical of the unusual deal — which offered Hunter Biden broad immunity from prosecution in perpetuity, questioning why it had been filed under a provision that gave her no legal authority to reject it. When she asked Leo Wise, a prosecutor, if there was any precedent for the kind of deal being proposed, he replied, “No, your honor.”
Why strike a deal that cuts the judge out of having a say? Because it’s a rigged game.
Hunter Biden’s lawyers repeatedly cast the deal as the final chapter of the five-year inquiry into the president’s son. But Judge Maryellen Noreika quickly punctured that assertion when she asked a prosecutor, Leo Wise, if the Biden investigation was “ongoing.” He replied “yes,” adding that if Biden’s team thought otherwise, “then there’s no deal.”
The investigation has to be ‘ongoing’ to stalemate congressional investigations, but it also has to be over so Hunter Biden can move on at the same time.
The Democrat media keeps referring to Judge Maryellen Noreika as a Trump appointee which is true in the strictly technical term in which presidents allow Senate members from that state to pick judges regardless of party. Noreika was backed by local Democrats and was being considered by Biden for another judicial appointment (safe to say that’s dead now) and had ruled against a lawsuit by the computer repairman who found Hunter’s laptops. So, safe it to say she’s hardly MAGA, but this may have just been a bridge too far.
The judge who will review Hunter Biden’s plea deal on Wednesday accused a member of Biden’s legal team of misrepresenting herself in a phone call to the court — a bizarre episode that prompted the judge to threaten sanctions even as Biden’s lawyers insisted it was all a misunderstanding.
In a brief order Tuesday afternoon, U.S. District Court Judge Maryellen Noreika wrote that an employee at Latham & Watkins, a law firm representing the president’s son, had called the court clerk’s office and falsely claimed to work for a Republican lawyer in the hopes of persuading the clerk to remove documents that apparently contained Biden’s personal tax information.
And the congressional rollout of materials on the Biden crime family probably didn’t help either.
Judge Maryellen Noreika decided she didn’t want to rubber stamp blatant corruption. It’s a pity that too few in the political or the legal system feel the same way.
U.S. Attorney David Weiss said in a court filing at that time that Hunter Biden would plead guilty to failing to pay taxes in 2017 and 2018, and would enter a pretrial diversion agreement to avoid felony charges for illegally purchasing a handgun while addicted to illegal drugs.
Weiss did not mention in his June 20 filing that the agreement would also grant Hunter Biden legal immunity for any tax crimes committed during the six-year period from 2014 through 2019.
So now Hunter’s team will work with his dad’s prosecutors on a slightly less obnoxious cover-up.
“Here comes de judge.”
She reduced ag Garland to status of “Dumber than a garden rock”
Hopefully, she has plenty of good security.
Now I guess it’s up to JOE to keep his crackhead Son out of prison !! Will he absolutely NUKE our Justice System to protect his spawn? No DOUBT!!! Maybe Hunter can get a sweetheart deal if he turns on his Co-conspirators!! Nah, maybe he’ll just have to sit back, consider his options, maybe snort a few lines, and go paddleboarding!
This judge is smarter than they are.
By “they” you mean DoJ FBI and the whole WH toilet occupants I presume 👍🇺🇸
Hunter Biden lost in the swamp the suns going down and the Swamp Monsters are closing in on him and his Daddy
Sounds good, but I will believe that when I see it.
BIG MAGADITTOES!!!!!
Yeah, crack Hunter takes videos of him cavorting with 13 year old Chinese prostitutes and leaves baggies of cocaine in the White House. The punk is obviously untouchable and Americans obviously put up with corrupt Joe when he should be hanging from a tree in front of the White House.
I’d like to think the Lord has a better plan for his eternal soul.
I think it has something to do with eternal flames.
It’s true, the Fat Lady has not yet sung. They have 15 months to cheat, lie, and steal.
Have you seen his dad sucking up to black people in a fake Oval Office decorated with Home Depot vinyl Marble?” Not even pretending, just pretentious and full of merde. Why is anyone even listening to them? I thought the vinyl marble presentation was transparently racist. We need to rid ourselves of this slur on the constitution, our flag, and all of us who would never get a Garland deal.
He disgraced Emmet Till.
Yeah, I hate when Alzheimer Joe speaks publicly. As if anybody gives a shit what he reads. He’s a nothing and a nobody. He sure isn’t Trump. When Big Don talks, people listen.
Didn’t that judge get the memo that rules don’t apply to Democrats?
Give unto Caesar what is Caesar’s. Apparently the courts are throwing out no end of happy Judicial decisions lately. Does this mean we’re winning? Not likely.
The easy solution is promulgation of a Presidential Pardon with the name and date left blank.
Just as long as the signature is valid, the rest can be filled in with a crayon.
We don’t live in a classless society. If you’re in the wrong class, that’s your fault.
The NYT will come up with a new take on the Hunter and the Judge story in two weeks.
Perhaps via a press report from Curly-Top Jean-Pierre?????
It’s too bad Raggedy Anne is such a dumb, lying cunt. I think she’s cute and would like to butter her muffin.
Yes, they will say that the judge is MAGA and that poor Hunter is misunderstood. If I were she, I would ask for police protection.
Could the case be made where the DOJ engaged in prosecutorial malfeasance with the defense to get a high-value Democrat, Hunter, undone?
Could the case be made that a corrupt DOJ was working behind closed doors with the defense to get Hunter Biden undone?
It was no coincidence that the judge, Maryellen Noreika, was on a Biden shortlist for a coveted Judicial appointment and was handed this Biden plea deal case. If Judge Noreika rubber-stamped this deal, her appointment would likely have been assured.
What went wrong is this Judge ruled according to the law. The news story here is if Judge Noreika does not get the Biden Judicial appointment, then it would be a form of retaliation and confirm this plea deal was a corrupt setup to get Hunter Biden undone.
We will see what the ourcome is
Hunter will probably walk
The judge didn’t “throw out” anything. She ordered the parties to clean up the plea agreement and take her out of the direct supervision of Hunter during his participation in a diversion program. That’s the same action every other judge would have taken.
Oooops, the Judge’s office has caller I.D. Talk about thinking people can get away with saying they are the Prosecution. when the Caller ID says differently. Total Lunacy.
Biden’s legal team seems to be snorting as much coke as he is.
Yes but I think they smoke it nowadays.
Coca is in the top Eschelons that for sure. No wonder the thinking is irrational.
From a distance admittedly, this Australian views the Democrats as being possessed of a born to rule mentality, and the Biden father and son duo as up to their ears in corruption.
The situation is clearer with regard to Biden senior’s suitability to rule now, let alone for another term – the poor silly bugger’s suffering from dementia onset, for christ’s sake.
I’m no fan of Trump either – with a population well in excess of 300 million, America can’t do better than choosing between a frail old man sinking into dementia and a self obsessed buffoon??
Trump was the most accomplished President in living memory. He made things better for Australia, too.
Basically, Trump got in the way of the Swamp powers and their dreams of utopia and conglomeration global government without law, order, Constition, and freedom They’ll never get over it.
“Self obsessed buffoon?”
Find yourself a sheep corral with an electric fence.
Pee on the fence.
Jeff is completely correct. The nonstop ad hominem attacks upon Trump were intended to induce exactly this presumption among suggestable lightweights.
P T Barnum had it nailed.
