It Looks Like Hunter Biden Might Experience Some Accountability
[PJ] Well, what have we here? Just when we thought that First Crackhead Hunter Biden would escape any kind of justice with his sweetheart plea deal, Delaware Federal District Judge Maryellen Noreika came sweeping in like Superman to stand up for truth, justice, and the American way.

Okay, so I might be blowing things out of proportion a little with that characterization, but the fact that Judge Noreika rejected the plea deal means that Hunter Biden might actually see some accountability for his actions. True, he did plead not guilty to the tax charges, and the cards are stacked against Lady Justice when it comes to the Biden Crime Syndicate, but Wednesday’s developments do give us a glimmer of hope.

Judge Noreika might have made her way onto quite a few conservatives’ Christmas card lists — my friend and colleague Athena Thorne called her the "bravest judge ever" in a Slack chat — because she asked many of the questions that we’ve been asking about that unreal plea deal.

Athena reports that Noreika "questioned lawyers during the hearing about her many concerns: Why was the deal presented to her as a binding plea with global immunity, the terms of which she could not modify? Why was a tax plea linked to a firearms charge? What about FARA charges for Biden, who had clearly been acting as a foreign agent? Noreika asked if Hunter Biden was still under investigation and was told he was. She also noted that the diversion program deal was ’unusual,’ saying it included ’non-standard terms’ like ’broad immunity’ from other potential charges."

#3 ^Mercutio, my brother sent me a link to the tweet this morning. I expect that everything will be delayed and that Joe will wallpaper his family and himself in pardons on his way out the door. I would subpoena Hunter at this point to force the pardon early.

#4 thx Mercutio! That was informative. I also agree with SH on the probable outcome

#5 Seems like more than just the tax code has too many pages in it. That plea vs "diversion" business is arcane and clearly written in the first place to be gamed.

#6 Under subpoena Hunter would plead the 5th, but you could read him the laundry list of all his crimes including his naked underage crack smoke. An infantile addict is not going to control his body language during the recitation of his sins. They might try executive privilege but Hunter is not an advisor to his father unless he hires him - boy howdy that would be a mistake. Executive privilege does not cover the pre-presidential bribes, regardless.

Next would be the stage I think of as The outrage of Whoppie. The strategy for this stage is to make the Hunter surrogate admit that they are supporting a trafficker.

There would then be a short intermission in the process that I would use the bring in Merrick Garland to get him on tape refusing to answer the same litany. You could do the same with Wray just for fun.

Next would be The Love of The Father stage where Joe does the pardon to stop the persecution of his beloved son.

The final stage is to subpoena the now squeaky clean fully pardoned Hunter who cannot plead the 5th. This stage puts Joe out the door.

#7 Just leave the president's children alone! Sob.

Unless the president is a Republican.

#8 Or the justice department could show how far in the tank for the Biden Crime Family and destroy any faith in the system by dismissing all charges against Hunter.

#9 Still the taxpayer have been cheated because of the non prosecution (statute of limitations) for tax evasion in 2014-2018

#10 I personally would also like immunity from any future prosecution. How do I go about getting that (besides changing my last name to Biden)?
