Plea deal

This is from one of many news reports on the first Hunter plea deal. A funny thing happened in the courtroom of the US District Court Judge Maryellen Noreika lask week. Hunter Biden's lawyers and the Department of Justice tried to pull a fast one on her, but she refused to play her designated part, declining to "rubber stamp" an intentionally opaque plea agreement. The judge realized that the plea deal included not only the current charges against Hunter Biden but absolved him of all future charges. The unanswered question is why would the Justice Department agree to such a deal. It became quite clear to Noreika that the government was agreeing not to prosecute Biden for additional crimes as a condition of his guilty plea to the two tax charges. It is this type of activity that causes conservatives to question the Justice Department.
