Quite some time ago, Americans learned that Hunter Biden managed to get a sweetheart deal from the federal government. This arrived in spite of the first son committing a host of crimes, like not paying his taxes and intentionally lying on one of the forms required to purchase a firearm.

Nevertheless, it was clear that Joe Biden pulled some strings on behalf of his son, to keep Hunter from truly facing accountability for what he’s done.

In the wake of all this, Americans were vindicated in their initial suspicions that the fix was always in, to begin with.

Days ago, however, things took a turn, with Hunter’s plea deal being soundly rejected by the federal judge overseeing his case, as reported by the Daily Mail.

It seems as though Judge Maryellen Noreika could smell that something wasn’t right with the slap on the wrist Hunter was getting. This is why the judge deemed it as “not standard” and placed it on a hold.

Judge Noreika especially took issue with the fact that the plea deal largely ignored any consequences for the gun-related crime attached to Hunter. She also warned this plea deal could even be in breach of the US Constitution.

There’s more, though. Hunter’s sweetheart deal was intentionally set up so that he wouldn’t find himself in legal jeopardy later down the line, should former President Trump make it back into the White House.

As it turns out, attorneys representing the first son had a very real concern that if Trump were to return to the Oval Office, he could essentially nuke the deal.

Right now, everything is up in the air and Hunter’s issues aren’t over by a long shot. Meanwhile, the news of his plea deal unraveling has been of interest to many Americans and US officials.
