The investigation by the House has shown how Hunter and his counsel allowed their appetite for special treatment to turn into a raging disorder. The Justice Department reportedly gave Hunter a “heads up” about planned searches and interviews, scuttling those efforts. Even though the Justice Department had an agreement to “toll the statute” to prevent the early charges from expiring, the Special Counsel just let them die without any rational reason.

In this “all-you-can-eat” legal Smorgasbord, it is little surprise that the Biden team would demand an unprecedented immunity deal and just two misdemeanors after years of tax evasion covering millions from insider trading. …

In other words, why ask for a sweeping immunity deal? The answer was why not.

That all came crashing down when Judge Noreika just cleared her throat in court.

[The advice “don’t get greedy” has apparently never floated past the eardrums of Hunter Biden or his attorneys. The indictment is a direct consequence of demanding and getting a sweetheart deal that the DoJ would never in a million years have offered to someone without connection to high-ranking political officials. Next up, though, is a pardon, not a trial. — Ed]
