They really thought they could get away with it. That’s the only thing I can think of as to why Hunter Biden’s legal team is now throwing tantrums over the implosion of that rigged plea deal.

As both Deanna and I noted, there was definitely something fishy about Hunter’s plea deal. And when it all fell apart yesterday to everyone’s amazement, we now find out that that plea deal was literally the epitome of a sweetheart deal. 

Special Assistant US Attorney Leo Wise and Hunter lawyer Christopher Clark both signed a probation-only agreement to allow the 53-year-old first son to plead guilty to two tax misdemeanors and enter a diversion program for a felony charge of possessing a firearm while addicted to crack cocaine, according to a copy of the document obtained by Politico.

The memo stated that prosecutors would also not seek to charge Hunter Biden for any federal crimes attached to his case, which included millions of dollars in missed tax payments between 2016 and 2019.

The deal only left open the possibility of “prosecution for any future conduct” by the president’s son — ensuring that possible violations of foreign lobbying laws and money laundering would be forever uncharged.

See what I mean? All of this was contained in the plea agreement. In fact, there is so much detail in that document, that Hunter’s legal team had hoped to keep out of public purview, that we find out Hunter lied like a rug about the state of his finances and where the money came from! 

Yes indeed, the dude was flush. 

During calendar year 2017 — one of the years Hunter Biden is charged with failing to pay taxes in their entirety — the president’s son earned “just under $1 million from a company he formed with the CEO of a Chinese business conglomerate; $666,666 from his domestic business interests; approximately $664,000 from a Chinese infrastructure investment company; $500,000 in director’s fees from a Ukrainian energy company; $70,000 relating to a Romanian business; and $48,000 from the multi-national law firm,” the memorandum of the plea agreement read, Politico first reported Wednesday.

“He further negotiated and executed contracts for business and legal services that paid millions of dollars of compensation to him and/or his domestic corporations, Owasco, PC and Owasco, LLC,” the plea deal stated.

Yet this is the guy who claimed he was broke in order to get out of paying child support for Joe Biden’s seventh grandchild whom the family repugnantly refuses to acknowledge. 

Yet, per Politico obtaining both the plea agreement AND the diversion agreement, we find he was flush with cash, just didn’t pay his taxes. Which, for us ordinary Americans, would’ve meant serious jail time with no plea deals available. 

Well, now the deal is tanked, and Hunter’s legal team is throwing tantrums. 

Hours after the hearing, Biden’s team was still fuming, suggesting that Noreika seemed intent on not letting the plea agreement go forward after deliberately questioning lawyers on both sides about the terms of the deal.

But the judge’s questioning did reveal a disagreement over whether the agreement on the tax charges was linked to a gun charge against Biden. Prosecutors said it wasn’t; Biden’s team thought it was — and they repeatedly argued about it in open court.

Noreika frustrated those involved in the case when, after two hours of questioning, she said she wasn’t sure whether the structure of the proposed plea deal was constitutional.

One member of Biden’s team ruefully compared Noreika to Judge Lance Ito, who presided over the O.J. Simpson murder trial in 1995 and was widely criticized for letting it become chaotic.

Again, they really thought they could waltz into that courtroom and have the judge just rubber stamp the agreement and send Hunter on his merry way.

Now that things didn’t go their way, they are blaming everyone else instead of acknowledging that they built this mess.

We now have the plea papers, no thanks to the government, and here is a very short version of what they say.

1. Under the Plea Agreement there is a probation recommendation from the government on the tax counts, even though Hunter’s misdemeanor Guidelines range calls for at…

And trying to paint Judge Noreika as a “Trump” judge is just stupid histrionics.

The only disconnect involved was that they tried to game the system on Hunter and possibly Joe’s behalf and lost. 

They wanted to sneak in blanket immunity from any potential FUTURE charges and effectively hamstring any future investigations into Hunter’s dealings and his violations of FARA. Now, I’m not a legal scholar by any means, but it sure seems that they wanted this deal in place so it could bring to a screeching halt the CURRENT investigation into Hunter’s acting as a foreign agent. If they could’ve gotten the plea deal rubber-stamped, then everything else would go away. 

But now, the investigation can and SHOULD continue.

They can throw all the tantrums they want, but at the end of the day, they brought this upon themselves. They tried to game the system and failed. 

Now Hunter has to get a job (and I don’t think throwing paint onto a canvas qualifies), submit to random drug tests, and quit drinking. Seems reasonable to me!
