A Bad Day For A Biden
It was surreal.
A phalanx of Secret Service agents arrived at a federal courthouse in Wilmington, Delaware yesterday flanking the president’s 53-year-old crackhead son on his way to plead guilty to crimes.
And most importantly he was there to accept a tiny slap on the tush as punishment for his tax and gun crimes.
The sort of crimes that would get you or me a cell.
But the gambit to make sure Hunter Biden would never really have to pay for his crimes like some sort of ordinary decent criminal hit an unexpected roadblock: A federal judge who apparently wasn’t ready to play Biden ball.
Within hours, Hunter Biden’s sweet plea agreement, which never passed the smell test, appeared to fall apart. All it took was a few pointed questions from Judge Maryellen Noreika about the sweeping immunity from prosecution on a cornucopia of charges that were hiding in the fine print. That line of questioning backed prosecutors into a wall where they had to admit there was an ongoing investigation into the shady dealings of the president’s precious son.
The judge was reportedly able to get the lawyers to admit there was no precedent for the leniency shown to Hunter Biden. Judge Noreika then asked whether Hunter could be charged with failing to register as a federal agent.
Yes, said the prosecutors.
We’re outta here, said the defense.
Hunter Biden pleaded not guilty and fled.
The judge is reconvening the parties in September. They may present her with another plea deal.
In the meantime Hunter is subject to random drug tests. Like an ordinary, decent criminal.
And he’s still the smartest man Joe Biden knows. Scary, isn’t it?
