Hunter Biden Plea Deal Wording Proves It: DOJ Sought to Protect Joe; Hunter Just Admitted in Court to Partnering With Communist Party-Linked Chinese Businessman

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By New York Post. With the text of Hunter Biden’s plea deal now public, it’s no longer possible to deny that the Justice Department’s been bending over backward to protect the Biden family — including President Joe Biden.

“The United States agrees not to criminally prosecute [Hunter] Biden . . . for any federal crimes” related to the case, the deal reads.

It left only the possibility of “prosecution for any future conduct.”

No wonder Hunter and his attorneys were convinced he’d be off the hook for other crimes, such as those related to foreign lobbying — and, perhaps, bribe-taking, influence-peddling or other corruption.

Federal Judge Maryellen Noreika questioned such a “broad,” “nonstandard” agreement, and wondered why both parties wanted her to “rubber stamp it.” (Read more from “Hunter Biden Plea Deal Wording Proves It: DOJ Sought to Protect Joe” HERE)

Hunter’s Plea Deal Was Meant to Protect One Person: Joe Biden

By New York Post. The Justice Department finally gave up pretending to investigate Hunter Biden and preemptively offered him blanket immunity for years of possible criminal activity. Why waste time, right?

It is increasingly evident the extraordinary plea agreement that fell apart was set in place to ensure the president’s name wouldn’t be dragged into any investigation. . .

The government didn’t release the text of the plea agreement — it usually does — but a leaked copy shows that the wide-ranging, intentionally vague promise of immunity for crimes committed from 2014 to 2019 was curiously buried on paragraph 15 of the Pre-Trial Diversion Agreement.

On numerous occasions during the hearing, Noreika asked the government prosecutors if they knew of any precedent for a plea deal that offered immunity for “crimes in a different case.” Every time, the answer was no. In one instance, a federal lawyer admitted Hunter’s immunity was “crafted to suit the facts and circumstances.”

Indeed, the “circumstances” are that every aspect of a genuine investigation into Hunter Biden would, sooner or later, lead to Joe. (Read more from “Hunter’s Plea Deal Was Meant to Protect One Person: Joe Biden” HERE)

Hunter Biden Just Admitted in Court to Partnering With Communist Party-Linked Chinese Businessman

By Daily Caller. Hunter Biden admitted in court that a businessman linked to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) had been his business partner, according to a transcript shared by the Republican House Oversight Committee on Thursday.

Biden testified that Ye Jianming, former chairman of CEFC Energy, had been his business partner, when asked by the court, transcripts state. The House Oversight Committee has alleged that Ye sought to cultivate a relationship with the Biden family, and towards that end wired millions of dollars to Hunter Biden’s businesses and associates through a complex laundering scheme.

“The fourth paragraph says during the calendar year 2017, you earned substantial income including just under a million dollars from a company you formed with a CEO of a Chinese business conglomerate. Is that the same or a different Chinese company from the one you referenced earlier?” Judge Maryellen Noreika asked Hunter Biden.

“I started a company called Hudson West, Your Honor, and my partner was associated with a Chinese energy company called CEFC,” Hunter Biden replied.

Mystery Outbreak of a Deadly, Paralyzing Disease Has Experts Baffled

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A national state of emergency has been declared in Peru as doctors battle an outbreak of a rare disease that can cause lifelong paralysis or death.

More than 230 cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome have been reported in the South American country, with more than half the cases occurring in a brief five-week period from June to July.

Normally a rare disorder, GBS typically strikes only about 3,000 people per year in the US, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine.

Four people in Peru have reportedly died of the disease since the beginning of the year, and the still-unknown cause of the outbreak has health officials scrambling.

“I think the origins of this [outbreak] remain still not completely investigated,” Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious disease specialist at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee, told Healthline.

Hunter Biden Pleads Not Guilty After Plea Deal Falls Apart; Legal Experts Explain What Judge’s Refusal to Accept Hunter Biden Plea Deal Reveals

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. Hunter Biden pled not guilty on Wednesday to gun and tax charges, refusing to accept a new plea deal laid out by prosecutors.

The original plea deal fell apart after the judge questioned if it covered future potential charges of the Justice Department’s ongoing investigation. The prosecution reportedly said the deal did not include any alleged Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) violations.

MSNBC reported the court took a ten-minute recess to determine if the two parties could quickly come to an agreement. When the deal got back on track, reports indicated it would “be more limited in scope,” only including specific charges related to tax and gun wronging. “The two sides have agreed that this deal does not shield him from potential future charges,” CNN reported.

But the judge said she was not ready to accept the plea deal and asked both the prosecutor and Hunter Biden to submit additional briefs, according to reporters inside the courthouse. The parties will have to return to court in the future.

The hearing ended with Hunter Biden pleading not guilty. (Read more from “Hunter Biden Pleads Not Guilty After Plea Deal Falls Apart” HERE)

Legal Experts Explain What Judge’s Refusal to Accept Hunter Biden Plea Deal Reveals

By Daily Caller. Legal experts slammed the Department of Justice’s handling of Hunter Biden’s “sweetheart” plea deal Wednesday after it fell apart in court under a judge’s questioning, which revealed it to be better for Biden than initially thought.

Hunter Biden plead not guilty Wednesday after Judge Maryellen Noreika made a rare move and refused the plea deal between the Department of Justice (DOJ) and his legal team, which she had raised concerns about in part due to its “broad immunity” for potential future charges, CNN reported. The initial deal would have had Biden plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges and enter a probation agreement for one felony gun charge.

Julianne Murray, an attorney representing The Heritage Foundation, which filed an amicus brief in the case Tuesday, was in the courtroom during the hearing. She told the Daily Caller News Foundation that the judge “did a really good job of sniffing out that there was stuff that was not being said out loud.”

“My sense was everybody just wanted this to just go away,” she said. “Now they know it’s not going away.”

While it’s not uncommon for plea deals to offer immunity limited to conduct “directly related” to the offense, Murray told the DCNF the offer given to Hunter Biden was “not limited in scope” and included “all of the allegations of conduct that are still being investigated,” though it was verbally amended to “limit the scope to gun, drugs and taxes from 2014-2019.”

Teen Brutally Beaten at Country Concert as Girlfriend Looks on in Horror (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

An Alabama teenager was brutally attacked and left unconscious with a broken nose by a group of several men at a country music festival on Saturday night.

Reid Watts, 18, attended the “Rock the South” music festival with a group of his friends when a fellow concertgoer accused him of spilling a drink on them, which eventually led to the teen getting beaten up by a group of “30- to 40-year-old” men.

Watts said he tried to clear up any hostility with his accuser as he didn’t have a drink on him and the two reportedly shook hands, but moments later while some of his friends left for the restroom, he was attacked from behind.

“Some dude said I was spilling beer on him or something along those things, and then I talked to him because I didn’t have a drink on me at the time, like I didn’t have anything, I talked to him and shook his hand because I thought everything was okay because I explained to him it wasn’t me,” Watts recalled to WBMA.

“Then a few minutes later, I was walking back and got hit in the back of the head, then I hit the ground and tried to cover my face, then I got knocked out and that was really all I remember,” Watts added.

WATCH: Naked Woman Gets Out of Car, Opens Fire on One of the Busiest Bridges in the US During Rush Hour: Authorities

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A naked woman in California got out of her car on one of the nation’s busiest bridges and began firing a gun Tuesday.

The bizarre scene unfolded during rush hour on the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge, according to the California Highway Patrol.

A driver called 911 to report that another driver had brandished a gun at them on the I-80 span, which crosses the San Francisco Bay, around 4:40 p.m., police said.

The woman then stopped in the middle of her lane, got out of her car with a knife and began yelling at other drivers, according to cops.

She then got back in the car and continued driving to Oakland, but stopped again at a toll plaza and exited the car — this time with a gun and sans clothing, officers told The Post.

Morbidly Obese Shoplifting Suspects Lumber off in World’s Slowest Getaway Ever (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Sacramento police are actively searching for three women involved in a suspected shoplifting incident that took place July 24 at a local Burlington store after their brazen antics were caught on video and shared on social media.

“Damn, look at these people stealing! Say hi to the camera!” a man filming the plus-sized trio can be heard saying as they slowly make their way to their getaway car. As the three women begin tossing clothing and shoes into the back of a red Dodge Charger, the man filming expressed his shock at the brazen theft, “Look at this shit. What the f**k is this?” the man said.

Undeterred, the women continue to pile in clothes and shoes into a heavily packed trunk before slowly lumbering away, allowing the man to capture their license plate and note that they were also illegally parked in a handicapped space.

Hunter Biden Lawyer Accused of Misleading Clerk to Block Release of Damning Evidence; Is Hunter Biden’s Plea Deal In Jeopardy?

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By New York Post. First son Hunter Biden’s legal team appeared to pull a dirty trick Tuesday to block the release of damning evidence ahead of his expected guilty plea to federal charges of tax evasion and weapons crimes.

The drama began in the morning when the House Ways and Means Committee filed an amicus brief to Delaware US District Judge Maryellen Noreika arguing that the 53-year-old had benefited from “political interference which calls into question the propriety of the investigation” into alleged crimes including money laundering, felony tax evasion and failure to register as a foreign agent.

The filing included testimony by two IRS whistleblowers who sat for transcribed interviews May 26 and June 1.

What happened next was outlined in a letter sent to the judge Tuesday afternoon by the committee’s top lawyer, Theodore Kittila.

“[A]t approximately 1:30 p.m., we received word that our filing was removed from the docket,” Kittila said. “We promptly contacted the Clerk’s office, and we were advised that someone contacted the Court representing that they worked with my office [emphasis original] and that they were asking the Court to remove this from the docket. We immediately advised that this was inaccurate. The Clerk’s Office responded that we would need to re-file. We have done so now.” (Read more from “Hunter Biden Lawyer Accused of Misleading Clerk to Block Release of Damning Evidence” HERE)

Hunter Biden’s Plea Deal Is Now in Jeopardy

By Fox News. JESSE WATTERS: Hunter Biden’s plea deal is now in jeopardy. President Joe Biden’s son is set to appear in court tomorrow where Delaware Judge Maryellen Noriega will decide on whether or not to sign off on Hunter’s plea deal and Hunter Biden may have just jinxed the deal. You’re not going to believe what he just did. Republican Congressman Jason Smith just filed a brief with the judge entering into evidence, the IRS whistleblower testimony, basically a legal move to get the judge to think, “You know, what? Are you really going to let this guy off so easy?”

Hunter Biden’s attorney called the courthouse clerk today and pretended to be a Republican attorney and told the clerk, “Oops, you know what? We didn’t really mean to file all that whistleblower stuff. Can you guys just strike that from the record?” Seriously? Hunter Biden’s lawyer made a phony phone call to the court and tried to remove the whistleblower testimony.

A Daily Dose of This Oil Could Slash Risk of Dying From Dementia by 28%

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Whether you add it to your salad dressing or use it for all your cooking, olive oil offers more than its unique flavor.

Research has previously linked the Mediterranean staple to a lower risk of heart disease.

However, a new study, which will be presented at the flagship annual meeting of American Society for Nutrition held July 22–25, also highlighted the oil’s effects on brain health.

Adding just over half a tablespoon of olive oil to your daily diet could slash your risk of dying from dementia by a whopping 28 percent.

As many countries worldwide face rising rates of dementia cases, the study offers hope that healthy lifestyle factors could pose as an effective weapon against the devastating brain conditions. (Read more from “A Daily Dose of This Oil Could Slash Risk of Dying From Dementia by 28%” HERE)

Black Man Claims He Won Mayoral Election but Can’t Take Office Due to Racism

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Black man has filled a federal civil rights lawsuit, claiming he was duly elected mayor of an Alabama town but was prevented from taking office by White leaders of the community.

Patrick Braxton, 57, claims “minority White residents” of the town of Newburn refused to accept the outcome of a mayoral race held in 2020 after he, a Black man, allegedly won the election. Instead of allowing him to take office, Braxton claimed the acting mayor of Newbern, Haywood Stokes III, worked with town council members to hold a special election in which Stokes was re-elected to the mayoral seat, CBS News reported.

Braxton further alleged Newbern had not held an election “for decades” prior to his purported 2020 win. Instead, he claimed, the office of mayor was “inherited by a hand-picked successor” who then appointed his own town council members, the outlet reported.

Despite the town’s 85% Black population, Braxton claimed all previous mayors were White and that only one Black person had ever served on Newbern’s town council.

Braxton stated he approached Stokes for information on how to run for mayor in 2020 over concerns the needs of the Black community were not being met. Braxton alleged Stokes then gave him “wrong information” about how to qualify for mayor, failing to tell him he needed to provide public notice to residents about the election.

Revelations About Biden’s $10 Million Ukraine Bribery Scheme Warrant Impeachment

/0 Comments/in , , /by

On Thursday, we finally got to see the document the FBI had been withholding from Congress about an alleged $10 million Ukraine bribery scheme involving Hunter Biden and then-Vice President Joe Biden, whom Burisma paid to get rid of a Ukrainian prosecutor investigating the energy firm.

The document is damning. If there wasn’t enough evidence for the GOP-controlled House to open impeachment proceedings against Biden before, there certainly is now. Recall that former President Donald Trump was impeached by Democrats just for asking the Ukrainian President about the Biden bribery scheme on a phone call in 2019.

Now we know there was good reason for Trump to be asking about it. We also know there’s far more evidence Biden engaged in impeachable (and possibly criminal) offenses than there ever was against Trump. When Democrats first impeached Trump at the end of 2019, they claimed he had solicited foreign interference in the 2020 election by asking Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky about the Biden bribery scheme. His questions now appear to be well-founded. They’re questions the FBI and Justice Department should have been asking back in 2017 when the informant first told the FBI what he knew.

What we’ve now learned from the four-page document — an unclassified FD-1023 form, which is used by the FBI to record credible reports and information from trusted confidential sources — is that Burisma allegedly paid $10 million in bribes to the Biden family so that Joe Biden, who at the time was vice president, would make the company’s legal problems in Ukraine disappear. Biden later bragged about how he pressured Ukrainian authorities to fire Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin, who was investigating Burisma, by threatening to withhold aid to the country. At the time, Biden claimed Shokin was “corrupt.”

But if what the FBI informant says is even partially true, it’s Biden who is corrupt — and on a grand scale. According to the document, a top Burisma executive said the only reason the firm hired Hunter Biden (for a mind-boggling $83,000 a month) was “to protect us, through his dad, from all kinds of problems,” and that even though Hunter “was stupid,” they needed him “so everything will be okay.” What’s more, the firm was apparently told by both Hunter and Joe Biden that it needed to hire Hunter for this “protection.” (Read more from “Revelations About Biden’s $10 Million Ukraine Bribery Scheme Warrant Impeachment” HERE)
