The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Katie Pavlich sums it up:

The same U.S. Attorney who gave Hunter Biden the sweetheart plea deal (misdemeanors instead of felonies) that is currently being renegotiated because it completely fell apart after a judge caught a buried broad immunity clause, has been appointed as Special Counsel? ....ok


No. I remember this one - the judge questioned the deal because it looked like Hunter Biden attorneys might think he got immunity to some things that he didn't get immunity to - which she thought was unethical and didn't want to do it because of that. Then the really disheartening part - it looked like the crew investigating Hunter Biden violated his 6th Amendment rights. Somebody was sticking memos in the case file stating that. I questioned it here in this forum and got no answers, so nobody knew enough. This might have to do with his right to counsel. It's disheartening for two reasons, 1. I don't like to think our agents blew an investigation by violating someone's rights, and 2. I can see all the accusations coming down the road (they're already here) and who wants to deal with that.
