REPORT: Hunter Biden’s Legal Team Furious That Judge Rejected Sweetheart Plea Deal

Hunter Biden’s legal team is reportedly seeing red over the judge’s rejection of his unrealistic plea deal.

These people actually thought that they could not only get Hunter cleared of the current charges against him, but also any future charges that might come up.

The deal was such an obvious stinker that even the liberal media knows it.

Axios reports:

Rejected plea deal leaves Hunter Biden’s team fuming

Hunter Biden’s legal team was angry and dejected late Wednesday after a plea deal to help the president’s son avoid prison blew up in a chaotic, three-hour court hearing.

Why it matters: Judge Maryellen Noreika’s rejection of Biden’s plea deal on tax charges ensures that legal issues will continue to shadow Biden just as Republicans on Capitol Hill are turning up the heat in investigating him and his father.

Wednesday’s hearing also revealed a disconnect between Biden’s lawyers and prosecutors over the terms of the plea deal — and even subtle divisions among those on Biden’s side.

Zoom in: 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.

This matches a report from Catherine Herridge of CBS News who said that when the deal went south, Hunter Biden looked increasingly upset.

Catherine Herridge from CBS reports on what she saw inside Hunter's plea deal hearing yesterday:

"I was sitting about 20 feet behind the president's son, and as the deal began to fall apart, he appeared increasingly upset."

The Biden administration knows how bad this looks. Hunter may not get out of this unscathed in the end.

Barriers Spotted Outside Fulton County Georgia Courthouse as DA Fani Willis Prepares to Charge Trump

Fulton County prosecutors are preparing sprawling racketeering charges against Trump over his effort to challenge the 2020 election in Georgia.

According to a leak to The Guardian, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis will likely indict Trump in the first two weeks of August.

Fani Willis based her investigation on President Trump’s call with Georgia officials that was later doctored and leaked to the fake news outlet Washington Post. The WaPo published a completely fraudulent text of the call. These phony charges have already been debunked by The Gateway Pundit and others.

The infamous phone call between Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger was recorded by Raffensperger and his office. Raffensperger’s team then leaked and lied about it to the far-left Washington Post.

Fani Willis is now considering racketeering charges against Trump because there is so-called ‘evidence’ that Trump’s effort to challenge the election in Georgia did not originate in the state as a grassroots movement.

Orange barriers were set up on Thursday evening and have led to speculation that Trump may be indicted over his 2020 phone call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger over his concerns over the 2020 election.

Progressive DA Fani Willis previously asked Fulton County judges to not schedule any trials in the first two weeks of August which indicates that if there are any big indictments coming then it will be in the next few weeks.

Per Atlanta News First:

Security barriers were spotted going up Thursday outside the Fulton County courthouse, fueling more online speculation that former President Donald Trump will face legal challenges in connection to his alleged attempts to overturn Georgia’s 2020 election.

Last year, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis opened a criminal investigation “into attempts to influence the administration of the 2020 Georgia General Election.”

Months later, a special grand jury with subpoena power was seated in May 2022.

Trump on several occasions has called Willis’ investigation into him a “witch hunt”.
