Last night, House Republicans filed a brief to try to blow up the Hunter Biden plea deal with judge Maryellen Noreika, who serves on the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The judge, a Trump appointee, seemed skeptical of the deal -- which offered Hunter Biden broad immunity from prosecution.
Long story short, Hunter Biden pled "not guilty" but will change his plea if a new deal is struck. His attorneys said it would probably take a couple of weeks.
Interestingly, there has been chatter (which I mentioned in another thread) that the prosecution had discovered email evidence that made it doubt whether or not it could actually bring the case forward, evidence of violations of Hunter Biden's Sixth Amendment rights. These emails evidently belong to one or both of the whistleblowers.
In this latest twist, a Brady discovery order went in requiring the prosecution to disclose any information favorable to the defense which, presumably, would also include emails discussing why the department of justice was concerned it could not charge Hunter.
And does that also mean that Hunter's attorneys can now ask about the laptop?
Again, perhaps albaby1 has thoughts.
In short, while it seems likely a plea deal will still be reached, wouldn't it be a hoot-and-a-half if House Republicans not only scuttled the plea deal but made it impossible to bring charges against Hunter Biden?
