By way of Jonathan Turley:
“The federal government proposed adjustments to the agreements that addressed solely the problems recognized throughout the listening to. Exh. 3. The defendant rejected these counterproposals on August 7, 2023. Id. As an alternative, the defendant started insisting that the proposed Diversion Settlement had certain each events, regardless that it had not been authorised by the Chief U.S. Probation Officer, a situation precedent to formation that might have introduced it into impact. Furthermore, by taking this place, he selected to close down any additional negotiations that would deal with the problems raised on the listening to.”

“In his movement, in a number of locations, the defendant falsely states that DOJ ‘inexplicably demanded Mr. Biden plead responsible to felonies with jail time.’ He cites nothing in assist of his false claims, which is a constant theme throughout his motions. The federal government attaches as Exhibit 3 a redacted letter from the defendant’s counsel which confirms the defendant understood that the federal government had proposed adjustments to solely these paragraphs that have been at subject throughout the listening to, not paragraphs concerning the fees the defendant should plead to or any “jail time” the defendant should serve. As proven in Exhibit 3, the federal government proposed adjustments to Paragraphs 14, 15 and 17 of the Diversion Settlement, and Paragraph 5(b) of the Plea Settlement. The federal government proposed no adjustments to Paragraph 1 of the Plea Settlement, which required the defendant to plead responsible to 2 misdemeanors. Nor did the federal government suggest any adjustments to Paragraph 6 of the Plea Settlement, wherein america had agreed to suggest a sentence of probation. The defendant rejected these counterproposals and refused additional negotiations…His newly invented declare in his movement that the federal government “inexplicably demanded Mr. Biden plead responsible to felonies with jail time” is patently false, unsupported by proof, and belied by his personal letter and representations in his filings within the Delaware case.”
…The submitting annihilates the general public claims of Hunter and his allies. It’s the distinction between making a case within the courtroom of public opinion and making a case in an precise courtroom of legislation.
