Turley: YGBFKM, Hunter

“I don’t see any discernible strategy at all. I’m a criminal defense attorney and I think that they have placed Hunter Biden in the worst possible position,” Turley said. “I mean they could have reached a plea agreement months ago when they had something to offer and by waiting until the very last minute, they are guaranteeing he gets very little benefit from a plea deal.” ...

“And so if he rejects the Alford plea, then you have to come in if you want to avoid trial and say, ‘Okay I plead guilty and I accept guilt’ after just yesterday saying, ‘I don’t accept guilt.’ None of that’s going to help with sentencing,” he continued. “The expectation is the Justice Department’s going to ask for jail time and I think it’s likely if they ask for it, they’ll get it from this judge.”

It's insane ... and pretty emblematic of the Biden allergy to strategic thinking. Martha MacCallum also points out that Hunter is an attorney himself, and Turley amusingly calls this a "collapsing bridge" approach. Watch the whole thing. And his final point about the pending sentencing hearing for the gun conviction is worth remembering.
