Hunter Biden Ordered to Give Update by Delaware Judge

A Delaware judge has ordered both the prosecution and defense lawyers in Hunter Biden’s gun charge case to give an update.

Hunter’s court cases have been chock-full of corruption.

Initially, they wouldn’t even charge Hunter until the IRS informants came forward!

It’s scummy stuff.

The Associated Press has more on the story:

DOVER, Del. (AP) — A federal judge in Delaware ordered prosecutors and defense attorneys on Thursday to provide a status report regarding a felony gun charge against Hunter Biden.

Judge Maryellen Noreika directed lawyers to provide the report by next Wednesday, including any steps they believe the court needs to take.

Attorneys for Biden have argued that a “diversion agreement” sparing him from prosecution on the gun charge is still in place, even though it was inextricably linked to a plea deal on misdemeanor tax offenses that imploded during a court appearance in July.

Noreika dismissed the tax case, and prosecutors have indicated they plan to pursue tax charges against President Joe Biden’s son in another district, perhaps California or Washington, D.C.

Meanwhile, prosecutors maintain that the agreement on the gun charge, which contains unprecedented immunity provisions against federal prosecutions for other potential crimes, never took effect and is no longer valid.

The two-part deal on tax and gun charges was supposed to have largely wrapped up a years-long investigation overseen by Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss. The deal fell apart after Noreika raised questions about its terms during a hearing in July. Among other issues, prosecutors were unable to resolve the judge’s concerns about offering Biden immunity for certain crimes as part of the diversion agreement, instead of in the plea deal.

Let’s see what the folks on Twitter have to say about everything going down:

As usual, Dems will try to sweep under the rug

CONFIRMED: Delaware prosecutor David Weiss wasn't going to charge Hunter Biden with any crimes — not even misdemeanors–until IRS investigators came forward to blow the whistle on him. Weiss isn't just corrupt, he's a coward. And Biden's DOJ just put him in charge of the coverup

The irony. DOJ just dissed subpoenas from House Judiciary re their Hunter Biden debacle in Delaware. They won’t let two FBI agents testify so as to “protect [DOJ’s] decisions and its legal judgments from even the appearance of political or other inappropriate influences” 😉 pic.twitter.com/w93rnu6n4o

Now more from the Washington Examiner:

“These agreements are not straightforward and they contain some atypical provisions,” Noreika told both parties on July 26.

The deal on the gun and tax charges was intended to conclude a five-year investigation overseen by Weiss. But Biden’s first appearance before Noreika last month saw the judge raise questions about the terms, and prosecutors were not able to quell her concerns about offering Biden immunity for certain crimes as part of a diversion agreement, rather than the plea deal.

After the plea deal fell apart, Attorney General Merrick Garland named Weiss as special counsel, which gives him wide authority to investigate and report his findings on the president’s son.

Prior to his first appearance last month, Republicans in Congress alleged the first son was bestowed a “sweetheart deal” by prosecutors.

The deal would have sentenced Biden to probation in exchange for pleading guilty to failing to pay taxes on more than $1.5 million in income in both 2017 and 2018.

I don’t have high hopes regarding the DOJ’s handling of the Hunter Biden cases.

Here’s my theory.

They are delaying Hunter’s trial.

They are making it appear as if they genuinely care about justice.

They are making it seem as though they are investigating Hunter.

And all they are doing is waiting and hoping that Biden gets ‘elected’ so they can drop the charade.

But we’ll have to see how this turns out.

We need President Trump back in office to put this family behind bars.
