Hunter Biden was recently dealt a blow when his plea deal was rejected by a judge.
His legal team had put forward an overly optimistic proposal that would have allowed him to dodge any future charges related to the case and clear him of all existing ones.
Unfortunately for them, this scheme was seen through and the court had no choice but to reject 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.
Hunter Biden’s team is “outraged” and “furious” that they didn’t get their way? That pretty much shows the current state of American politics and how our system of justice is blithely ignored by dems. In better days they would have been ‘ashamed’ and ‘afraid’. Not so any more! Someone PLEASE start dropping the hammer on them and make them accountable for their actions.
I say KILL THE CANCER
THATS ALL HE IS
If You or I would have cheated on our taxes, of course I’ve never made $5 Million, we would have been jailed and the key thrown away. Now buying a gun when he knew he wasn’t allowed one because of his drug problems, that means lying on the US-ATF form, we’d be brought to our knees by the ATF and federal judges. Why should Hunter-baby get off. Justice is supposed to be fair and equal. It sure as hell ain’t in this country, not if you’ve got connections!
Daddy’s boy is used to getting his way in everything and this time he didn’t get what he wanted and he was terribly upset. As time goes on, Daddy won’t be around and the little boy will be on his own and he will meet what justice has available.
Blow Biden is also agent for a foreign government, who failed to register. That is a crime. Vice President Biden collaborated , with Air Force Two transportation.
