Pressure grows on federal judge to reject Hunter's sweetheart plea deal

Pressure is growing in congressional, legal and media circles for the federal judge in the Hunter Biden case to reject a plea deal that would spare the first son from serving prison time after evidence has emerged from two IRS whistleblowers that a more serious criminal tax case was sabotaged by the Justice Department.

“I don’t understand how any judge could bless this plea agreement now that all of this evidence of obstruction and DOJ and FBI wrongdoing has surfaced,” Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., told Just the News. “So I hope this judge does reject this, and then insists and demands on an honest investigation and an honest prosecution as well.”

[I’m not convinced that a federal judge really cares too much about ‘pressure’ in ‘congressional, legal and media circles.’ I do think, however, that the smell from this plea deal speaks for itself, and a federal judge might decide to vacate it and order all parties into court to determine how it was achieved. That might include talking with some of the investigators, theoretically anyway. The real question is whether the DoJ will even take it into court at this point. — Ed]
