I think they should have been prepared to answer questions. they were clearly unprepared to answer. so you asked what do you think hunter biden, what was going through his head? probably frustrated because clearly his ron artest and the prosecutors were not ready to answer the judge s skeptical questions. that s when she said, i m not comfortable with this. it was a remarkable hearing. the issues that came up were predictable, right? and we are all familiar with plea hearings that fall apart. they don t ever, in my humble experience, fall apart on legal issues that the lawyers could have anticipated. it s usually because a defendant can t get around to aloecuting or whatever. obviously politically charged given the nature of the defendant. i tend to still put a fair amount of faith into merrick garland to make these decisions without wanting to influence the national political scene. i still sort of hold that precept position. ....
It was perhaps hunter biden getting off a little bit easy. what exactly happened yesterday though? this is very confusing to a lot of people? most plea hearings go off without a hitch but that doesn t mean that they are not harrowing experiences, because a whole lot could go wrong during a plea a hearing, a lot of things that it does is that the defendant has a change of heart or here s the allocution of facts against him and he wants to say wait, that is not exactly how it happened, and so plea agreements can go haywire but most of them go forward without a hitch. this one was set up for failure and we are learning more now that we look at the plea agreement and the pretrial diversion agreement, when you look at the language you can see why both parties were confused. when the defense walked in their, they had read a paragraph of the pretrial diversion agreement that said to the effect, that if for example the united states believes annoying material breach goes on because it de ....

Together and say, let s iron this out? does this or does this not end all the legal perils for hunter biden, which is what the defense wanted, expected? as a prosecutor, like most prosecutors, i have handled hundreds of these kinds of plea hearings. they almost always go without a hitch. they go very smoothly. that s because the parties have talked extensively about the terms. i fault both lawyers for not having the meeting of the mind. i give great credit to this judge who are talking with the parties and making sure everything was on the same page. it turns out, they weren t. on the one hand, i guess i would fault the prosecutor for not making it clear in its language that there was the possibility to continue with investigating other crimes. i also fault the defense attorney because, as you said, the u.s. attorney made public statements that the investigation was ongoing. ....
