Hunter Biden: Plea deal for president's son collapses in dramatic court hearing

[Social Media]

 

An agreement expected to see US President Joe Biden's son, Hunter, plead guilty to tax charges and admit a gun offence has dramatically fallen apart in court.

The plea deal, negotiated over several weeks, was likely to spare the younger Mr Biden prison time.

But a judge on Wednesday said she could not "rubber stamp the agreement".

The case marks the first time the justice department has charged the child of a sitting president.

Hunter Biden's lawyers have been given 14 days to hash out a new deal with the prosecution.

It follows a five-year investigation into the finances of the US first son, who arrived on Wednesday morning at the court in Wilmington, Delaware.

 

In a plea agreement announced last month, he was to be charged with two misdemeanour counts for failing to pay his taxes on time in 2017 and 2018.

He was also to admit that he had illegally possessed a gun while being a drug user, and agree to drug treatment and monitoring in lieu of a more serious felony charge and possible jail time.

If the biden administration and their DOJ are unable or unwilling to enforce current firearm laws, there is no point whatsoever in making new ones.

Ahh if he pleads to a felony gun charge he won’t be allowed to own a gun as far as the rest hunter withdrew his plea because they had the understanding that the harassment on this would stop 

[JonnyF]

Great news.

 

Hunter Biden needs to be treated like everyone else. No sweetheart deals because of his father's position. It's great to see this travesty of an arrangement fall apart at the seams. There's hope for the US justice system yet. Well done Judge Noreika.

How is law enforcement going after a serial law breaker "harrassment"? 

 

I am wondering how many Americans are allowed to drive their cars at almost 200mph while smoking crack? Not many that's for sure. 

 

"Hunter Biden picked up his phone to snap a picture while driving at an incredible 172mph on a highway outside Las Vegas, DailyMail.com can reveal. 

He was racing his Porsche 911 to Sin City on August 1, 2018 for an encounter with multiple prostitutes when he took a snap of his dashboard showing how fast he was speeding.

The picture was found on the First Son's abandoned laptop."

All the crimes on the laptop. Biden's weaponzed DOJ just try hiding all running out the clock on these crimes. If they haven't got the stones to take on these simple cases like driving at almost 200mph while smoking crack it is a hopeless situation.

The impeachment will be over the depth of Joe Biden's involvement in the influence peddling and bribery schemes. Hunter will have neough trouble with his tax evasion, gun crimes, prostitution/human trafficking, and FARA violations to be busy for a while.

More nonsense from you. As has repeatedly been pointed out, it's very rare for the Justice Dept ever to prosecute violations like this.

They have been looking for evidence for years and come up empty.  What makes you think that's about to change?

You mean Joe Biden allegedly scarring his son would not be damaging? Were these presumably emotional scars created without inflicting emotional damage? How would that work?

Hunter Biden.

That is all MAGA talk and makes no legal sense whatsoever.

On topic, Hunter & the Fed felony firearm charge.  We bit of research, very we bit ... but, it seems anything less than a 10 month sentence, will need some explaining to do.

 

So the judge telling them to come up with a Plan B, seems to be appropriate.  Also consider, though not sure, Hunter is not a 'felon'.   That would make a huge difference.

 

"Penalties for Felon in Possession of a Firearm

Under federal law, the crime of Felon in Possession of a Firearm is a Class D felony, punishable by up to ten years in prison, three years of supervised release, and $250,000 in fines.

 

Under the United States Sentencing Guidelines, a person convicted of Felon in Possession of a Firearm would be assigned a base offense level between 12-26, which carries a guideline ...

 

...range of 10-78 months in prison...

 

before taking into account any mitigating or aggravating circumstances.

 

As of 2016, the average federal sentence imposed for Felon in Possession of a Firearm fell between 46-75 months in prison."

Hornsby Law Firm

 

As far as Tax issue goes, nobody goes to jail for not paying taxes, unless circumstance dictate.

 

I owed $70k+ one year, and didn't even file.  Jail was never mentioned during 'negotiations' to pay.

 

He owed a wee bit more, but unless doing something extremely scrupulous, jail shouldn't even considered.  It's not like he refused to pay it, simply not in a timely manner ????

 

"According to the tax Information, Hunter Biden received taxable income in excess of $1,500,000 annually in calendar years 2017 and 2018.  Despite owing in excess of $100,000 in federal income taxes each year, he did not pay the income tax due for either year. "

 

Not a fan of the Bidens, but it does seem to be a bit of selection prosecution on the tax issue, unless I'm missing something.
