Notice the way the Judge made very clear to chose the language to establish that the case isn't over because there's still an ongoing investigation.
When ever has anyone ever been in sentencing for a crime, and "Ongoing investigation" was ever brought up? Plea Deals are the end all, end all.. Done and done.

The Plea deal is back on, but now provides language that the DOJ, McCabe and Garland can use to shield themselves from answering question and being held accountable for the double standards. Because of an ongoing investigation.
It's so transparently pathetic.

So, Hunter is 1. sex offender 2. gun offender 3. tax cheat 4. reckless driver (took video of himself driving 170 mph) 5. consorts with hookers and has a child out of wedlock 6. fucked his deceased brother's widow.

I hope someday he gets well and truly fucked and his lame senile creep father too.

I would love to see Biden in a chair in the joint drolling.

Finally an Ex Clinton official that agrees with me.

On Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Inside Politics,” former federal prosecutor Shanlon Wu, who worked in the Justice Department during the Clinton administration, stated that the DOJ’s assertion during the Hunter Biden plea hearing that the investigation is ongoing will be “like a complete shield” for the Department of Justice to avoid oversight from Congress and that while one reason for the posture that the investigation is ongoing could be simply because a plea deal hadn’t been reached, but another potential reason is for that “political cover” to duck Congress. “And that will help him when he goes to the Hill to say, oh, I have an ongoing investigation, can’t talk about it.”

Ok but what is the endgame here? Wait until Kummilla is installed and she pardons him?

Good point, could be that the DOJ has concluded that rather than the most obvious possible corruption, they want to go for the usual "ongoing investigation" kind of corruption, which looks slightly better, and still results in nothing at all ever happening to Hunter for his many felonies.

I still enjoy headlines like this though:

Until the statute of limitations run out, or until the Democrats take control of congress and dismiss all committees on the subject.

The method for protecting the fraud of the DOJ and DC privileged relationships since the Clinton Years has been "I can't comment on that there's an ongoing investigation."

In the past the DOJ has just simply stonewalled, ignored and feigned ongoing investigation ignorance, until regime chance. Both sides have been saved by the bell deploying this same tactic. Everyone in Congress is well aware what is taking place when they pull that, that includes Matt Gaetz and Jim Jordan. But they allow them to skate on it anyway.

If I were them I would simply tell them they are being in dereliction of duty, and bring a vote to floor to remove them or even defund whole departments. .

I'm starting to think that Jim Jordan and Matt Gaetz are just as compromised as the rest of them, they way they leave MTG hanging out there every time she calls for heads on a platter and impeachments.. .But I'm sure it's orchestrated by all parties that they would leave her hanging so they didn't actually have to do it and move the needle on the corruption. .

Meanwhile, even people who live in Portland know Hunter has been hauling in millions from foreign actors, for years and years, not just with one phone call, but with many calls, meetups, tweets, handoffs, and WhatApps, and who knows what other unsanitary forms of communication, in exchange for explicit help getting the foreigners’ policies advanced in the U.S.

It’s not even in dispute.

According to corporate media, Hunter’s plea deal was supposedly always only about his income tax problem and his gun possession charge. But ever since the story broke, I’ve predicted it would somehow wind up with Hunter getting complete immunity for everything, including his much more serious FARA problems (especially serious in light of how assiduously the DOJ has been applying FARA to the eensiest contact between any Republican and a foreign citizen).

It was a three hour hearing. The simple version is that, while the judge was preparing to approve Hunter’s deal, she discovered — buried deeply in the fine print, so deeply it would have been trivially easy to miss — a lone citation to an odd statute number of a much broader type of release, a statute so broad and so universal that it is almost never ever used. As a result, the judge variously described the proposed Hunter plea deal as “not standard, not what I normally see,” possibly “unconstitutional,” without legal precedent, and maybe even “not worth the paper it is printed on.”

Since nobody could seem to agree, Judge Noreika asked the government to state on the record whether or not the single reference to the global release statute would give Hunter complete immunity from all possible crimes. She specifically mentions as an example any potential FARA violations. The Judge also asked the DOJ’s lawyers whether there were any ongoing investigations that might be affected by the release.

Curtly admitting only that “yes,” some kind of investigation continued, the DOJ lawyers explained the government did not intend for Hunter to get a complete release. They said their deal was only for a limited release as to just the tax issues and the gun charge.

That’s when the S.S. Hunter Biden capsized.

According to the Times, right after the government insisted FARA wasn’t included in the release — in spite of the way the deal had been written — Hunter (who should have let his lawyers talk) broke his silence, angrily snapping at the judge that he would never agree to a deal without broad immunity. Around the same time, his lawyer was jumping up and barking that the deal was now off, “null and void.” Hunter’s lawyer said the deal was not only for the tax and gun issues, but insisted the agreement was also for all other potential crimes related to Hunter’s financially-rewarding “consulting deals” with foreign companies in Ukraine, China and Romania.

A chaotic courtroom scene ensued, delighting the 30-odd reporters in the gallery, who’d been hoping for some kind of fireworks, but never dreamed of a courtroom field event like this. All the involved parties were upset. The DOJ lawyers were upset their sly trickery was exposed. Hunter and his lawyers were upset that they lost their sweetheart deal. And the Judge was upset that the DOJ and Hunter tried to fool her into making a giant error.

At the end of the day, Hunter formally withdrew his “guilty” plea and pleaded “not guilty” instead. Then Judge Noreika entered a sensational pretrial release agreement ordering Hunter to comply with a bunch of standards requirements like reporting international travel plans, avoiding drugs and alcohol, and getting a job. This is the kind of thing that can happen after the judge starts to hate you for impersonating the other side and involving the court in a fraud.

Still, it could have been worse. But not much worse. Hunter and the DOJ attorneys will now try to reboot the plea deal into something the Judge will accept. There’s no way they will ever try this case.

"Even in Portland", a signatory that truth, however fragile, starved, isolated, beleaguered, badgered, stuffed, memory holed, struggle sessioned, stifled, beaten down, somehow still raises fledgling shoots past the zombie hordes of willfully self deluded apparatchiks.

Never under estimate any Biden's ability to fuck shit up for everybody. .- A very nervous Obama

If not for this drug addled derelict, I would be worried that everybody is going to get away with everything. But Unless the Deep State takes him Fishing with Fredo. Hunter is going to sink the whole damn ship of fools. The White House Coke will be tied to him before this is over.

Hunters handlers should have left it up to the Corrupt Democrat Judicial apparatus. They have a knack to shop for a sympathetic Judge and an adoring Jury. He would have had all laid bare in a trial, and still had the jury find him not guilty. At least there's the illusion that due process took place.. But by trying to just circumvent it in this blanket immunity, made a bigger mockery than any rigged court could have.

Now it will be up to the DOJ's ability to beat the clock and hope the vote rigging machine can turn Congress over to a more forgiving Partisan Committee.

I think the judges, instead of rigging the decisions, are seeing that their own water wings on the sinking ship might be to toss Hunter over the side, first.

There must be dead air from Switzerland for the Masonic Judicial Cuck-0-sphere.

I suspect that Hunter is trying his hardest to sink that whole damn ship as revenge for Joe sexually abusing him as a boy.
