Will Judge kick out Hunter’s plea Bargain?

Dems should be rejoicing if she does. Finally some justice against the white and privileged crowd. Blacks, browns, yellow should be shouting from the roof tops , finally a fair and balanced Judge.
from what i understand

the hunter plea deal is having birth pains and its not so much that the judge is balking

the doj is trying to save face perhaps

hunter wants his deal to cover everything, even things that haven't yet been charged

and there is doj resistance to that because, well, the flashlight is on them and while they will bend and bend for dimocrats, they know they cant totally break, even some in the doj have a bit of self-respect

Hunter will prevail having white privilege. We know this
UPDATE: The plea deal is being narrowed.

CNN — "The deal appears to be back on track."

Seems the Judge is none too fond of the Okey-Doke shuffle they tried pulling.
Hunter Biden Legal Team Responds to Allegations of Impersonating Republican Attorney to Court Clerk, Claims It was ‘Misunderstanding’- “There Was No Misrepresentation”...

Jessica Bengals, Hunter Biden’s Attorney accused of lying to court and impersonating an opposing GOP lawyer.

...Hunter Biden’s legal team is facing possible sanctions after they lied about their identity to have the testimony of IRS whistleblowers removed from the docket in Hunter’s tax fraud case.

Hunter’s lawyer called the courthouse clerk PRETENDING to work for GOP lawyer Ted Kittila and told the clerk they didn’t really mean to file all the whistleblower stuff...
Judges generally don't like liar lawyers.
maybe the judge is a good judge

It was a strange deal from the start, underscored by U.S. District Court Judge Maryellen Noreika asking the prosecution if there was any precedent for the proposed agreement.

“No, your honor,” federal prosecutor Leo Wise responded.
further points

the doj did have a shield from further prosecution for hunter in the plea deal

while at the same time they maintained that there was an ongoing investigation

some pundits think the "on-going investigations" claim is meant to block congress from obtaining additional information

so there is no precedent for a plea deal shielding someone from future prosecution while there is an ongoing investigation

yet that is what the doj had agreed to????

here's what the plea agreement contained:

"The United States agrees not to criminally prosecute Biden, outside the terms of this agreement, for any federal crimes encompassed by the attached statement of facts… and the statement of facts attached [to the plea agreement]," the document states. "This agreement does not provide any protection against prosecution for any future conduct by Biden or by any of his affiliated businesses."

The statement of facts attached to the diversion agreement outlined Biden's history of often using Staff Edit - Biomed1 – behavior to which Biden himself has separately admitted – and stated that the first son allegedly lied on a federal form to purchase a firearm by claiming he was not Staff Edit - Biomed1 when he actually was.


The statement of facts attached to the separate tax plea agreement outlined Biden's extensive history of lucrative business dealings in China, Ukraine and elsewhere that have long been under scrutiny. The document also detailed Biden's tax and financial history relevant to the federal charges he's facing.
