Everything just fell apart for Hunter Biden.
He was on the verge of walking free with no accountability.
But thanks to one judge, he might soon be heading to jail.
Hunter Biden just got the surprise of a lifetime and it’s not good news for him or his highly paid legal team.
Hunter had gotten a massive sweetheart deal that allowed him to plead guilty to one charge and walk away with nothing more than a slap on the wrist.
And because Hunter had something most ordinary Americans do not have – the President of the United States interfering with the case on his behalf – it was almost enough to get away with it.
But the judge in Hunter’s case wants none of it. Even though this judge has connections to powerful Delaware politicians, she knows right from wrong – and when she saw this plea deal, she knew it was wrong.
According to Axios, “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.”
“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.”
Judge Noreika wasn’t about to let the prince of a powerful political family get away with crimes just because of his last name.
She clearly believes in fairness and equality under the law and intends to apply it to Hunter Biden just the same.
That means he won’t be treated like he’s above the law like he has for most of his adult life.
And he and his team are not happy about it.
The article continues, “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.”
What a novelty – a judge who actually cares about what is constitutional and what is not!
Judge Noreika has dealt Hunter Biden a massive blow that could put him in serious legal jeopardy – and he may ultimately head to prison because of it.
