A critical deadline is approaching that will determine the fate of Hunter Biden and, ultimately, the network that connects Hunter to the president and his family.
On July 26, Federal Judge Mariellen Noreika will have to decide whether to accept the politically accused lover’s plea bargain that Attorney General Merrick Garland hastily crafted to rescue Hunter Biden, or postpone the issue so that impartial facts can be applied to the law and a proper investigation can be completed.
The facts of this case are nothing like a fairy tale of pee tapes and “Russian collusion.” Joe Biden’s son has committed serious and overt crimes involving the President and should receive the severe treatment he deserves under our criminal law.

As evidenced by IRS whistleblower testimony released by the Ways and Means Commission, the “investigation” and prosecution of Hunter Biden, and ultimately Joe Biden, has been delayed and covered up for years by partisan bureaucrats in the Justice Department and IRS.
IRS Whistleblower Says ‘Most Serious Felonies Shelved’ in Hunter Biden Investigation
The explosive testimony included reports that U.S. Attorney David Weiss, who has recommended a plea bargain for Hunter, told colleagues at the IRS that Biden’s tax charges were “denied” by Justice Department officials in Washington. Other public statements, including Garland’s, contradict Weiss’ intentions, which he has now retracted.
The Ways and Means Commission has released the testimony of the whistleblower who exposed this inappropriate preference, revealing that the Biden administration actually retaliated against the whistleblower by removing two IRS whistleblowers from the Hunter Biden case in order to punish and discredit them.
This is just the latest attempt by partisan bureaucrats to sabotage, delay and cover up investigations into President Biden’s son and his questionable business dealings.
Now Garland and Weiss are asking Judge Noreika to enter into a political plea bargain in court next week, even after the IRS found that Hunter Biden failed to pay $1 million in taxes on $8.3 million in earnings from foreign entities in China, Ukraine and Romania.
Even Ways and Means Democrats acknowledged that more information is needed to know the truth about these issues. Making a plea bargain before all the facts are known would be unfair.
Americans guilty of similar crimes to Hunter never got ‘sweet’ deal to keep them out of prison: critics
The IRS investigator in charge of the case recommended a felony charge against Mr. Biden, but again his last name escaped real responsibility. This improper and premature plea bargain before Judge Noreika effectively acquitted Hunter Biden of a watered-down misdemeanor.
This is a clear attempt to tip the scales of justice and manipulate the system in favor of the president’s family.
This is clearly a two-tier prosecution system under the Garland administration, one standard for the Biden family and another for everyone else. Recently, the Justice Department indicted Stephen Schiff under the same federal law as Hunter Biden for just one of Hunter’s alleged crimes. Schiff was sentenced to 13 months in prison.
The timing of Hunter’s plea bargain was no coincidence either, coming just two days before the shocking release of the IRS whistleblower’s testimony on June 22nd. The question arises here: Without the Ways and Means Commission investigation, would Hunter Biden be indicted?

This plea bargain is a shameless attempt by the Justice Department to release Biden’s son and prevent further investigation into a corrupt organization that was raised using Hunter Biden to enrich the entire Biden family.
Garland’s corrupt plea bargain should have been voided upon arrival in Judge Noreika’s courtroom.
