I wonder if Hunter and his attorney are hitting the bong as they are being driven away.

So is she concerned that there's a diversion agreement or that it's public.

If you like to follow this stuff, shipwreckedcrew on twitter is an ex fed prosecutor who seems to be on the right side of things.

I like Judge Noreika! I’d bet that Biden et al. were pissed when they learned that she’d be presiding judge at Hunter’s trial.

“On December 20, 2017, President Donald Trump nominated Noreika to serve as a United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, to the seat vacated by Judge Gregory M. Sleet, who assumed senior status on May 1, 2017.”

Yes. I think she realizes that there is much more at stake here than just Hunter himself.
It's the justice system itself. A two-tiered justice system? Or the rule of law, meaning equality before the law?

Now we know why DOJ didn’t show us the plea agreement terms. What didn't they want us to know ahead of time?

A) a global immunity deal for Hunter;
B) A binding plea (that is, the judge must accept the specific terms if she accepts the agreement);
C) Misdemeanor probation;
D) Other unusual plea terms.

1. A global immunity deal for Hunter while the overall investigation is “ongoing”, is stunning—a super-sweetheart deal.

2. A binding plea is extremely unusual in the vast majority of federal jurisdictions. It means for example, that if the agreement calls for probation the judge must give Hunter probation. It is binding.

3. That the prosecution and defense would disagree about the terms of the agreement in open court is a joke. Ambiguous terms in a plea agreements are construed against the government! There should be no room for disagreement on the key terms of the agreement. So, this was either astounding incompetence or corruption on DOJ’s part. I think it is corruption. This looks like a wink and a nod deal (as @shipwreckedcrew has noted) where DOJ would have plausible deniability if the judge asked no questions and accepted the deal. The scope of immunity is the most important feature of a plea deal. It is inconceivable that the prosecutors were incompetent here. Leo Wise has an excellent reputation for competence.

4. Think about this. DOJ was about to sanction a plea deal where Hunter would get misdemeanor probation on serious tax charges plus pretrial diversion (no time served or criminal record) on the felony gun charge. Hunter would also get complete immunity on all other charges. And he would not have to cooperate with the government’s ongoing investigation. Totally disgraceful. Merrick Garland and David Weiss should be ashamed. And where is Lisa Monaco? Why hasn't she been called to testify?

"We ended cancer as we know it," the president declared.

I think Beau Biden would disagree.

It's the immunity thing that I find the most appalling. It was an under the table term the prosecutors and defendant agreed upon but didn't talk about it when the guilty plea was first announced. Now we know why.

Immunity means you are giving up something in exchange for the immunity aka information but this agreement had no such requirement.

This is a bad day for Joe because because it shines a bright light on the public's notion that there is a two tiered justice system. It gives it validity and it's easy to see why.

Now Joe will face daily questions, and Garland too, about this thing that's not a perception but was admitted to in court by the DOJ.

Bad day for Joe.

BREAKING NEWS: Hunter Biden pleads guilty to all charges and is sentenced to promise to never ever get caught doing it again.

And Adam Schiff claims a witch hunt.

Yeah, the judge's decision today gives us some hope, but I doubt Hunter, or any of the Biden crime syndicate for that matter, will ever see any jail time.

What, is Hunter Biden's legal team high or something?

https://www.washingtonexaminer...am-high-or-something

After scoring the sweetheart plea deal of the century, Hunter Biden's legal team ended a brutal day in court with no legal immunity, the old and renegotiated deals now dead, and a stark warning that the president's son is indeed under investigation for his failure to register as a foreign agent.

Between today's disaster in court and revelations that Hunter Biden knew his attorney, millionaire Kevin Morris, was secretly purchasing his "artwork," I couldn't help but wonder: Is the first son's legal team high or something?

Let us focus for a moment on Wednesday's legal proceedings. The original plea deal brokered by Biden's team would have Hunter skirt jail time by pleading guilty to tax fraud and completing a diversionary program to erase a gun charge. While Hunter's defenders claimed that most civilians would never actually be charged for these crimes, Hunter took the unusual step of bragging about these crimes (and others, if you include his serial drug and alcohol abuse and solicitation of prostitutes in potential violation of international human trafficking law) in his memoir.

But like Icarus flying too close to the sun, the hubris of the Biden bunch ultimately got the best of Hunter. After discovering that the plea deal would not protect Biden from further prosecution for acting as a foreign agent, Biden's attorney blew up the deal, telling the prosecutor to "just rip it up." In the end, the prosecutors did, after one failed attempt to craft a replacement deal. The judge worried that the gun diversion program, which was offered in lieu of jail time in the original deal, was not even constitutional. When prosecutor Leo Wise was asked whether there was any precedent for the diversion program workaround, Wise said there was not.

Hunter, who evidently did not understand the details of his own plea deal, ended the day reversing course and pleading not guilty.

One would never expect Hunter Biden, the most flagrant failson of a dynasty of dilettante drunks, to prove himself a worthy or competent defendant. But Biden's legal team somehow blew a 3-1 lead. Perhaps the affair of the paintings may provide an explanation as to why.

Remember at the start of his father's presidency, Hunter launched his third act (as well as this third wife) as a professional artist. Despite zero previous experience in the craft, Biden scored a debut opening at the prestigious Georges Berges Gallery in SoHo.

At the time, the White House promised that neither Joe nor Hunter would be learning who exactly would purchase the latter's paintings. Although Berges selling Hunter's work said he would be expected to attend his own opening, the White House asserted that "the president has established the highest ethical standards of any administration in American history."

Alas, no.

On Monday, Business Insider revealed that Hunter Biden knew that patrons of his newfound painting hobby included Democratic donors Elizabeth Hirsh Naftali and ... Morris. You know, the same Morris who saw Biden's plea deal fall apart. The same Morris who loaned Biden his private jet so he could go to Arkansas to fight being forced to pay child support to his illegitimate daughter. The same Morris who footed the bill for the same overdue taxes that landed Hunter in hot water in the first place!

With lawyers like these, who needs enemies? If Hunter were Donald Trump Jr., there's little doubt the media would be asking what kompromat Morris has on this troubled, middle-aged man.
