After scoring the sweetheart plea deal of the century, Hunter Biden's legal team ended a brutal day in court with no legal immunity, the old and renegotiated deals now dead, and a stark warning that the president's son is indeed under investigation for his failure to register as a foreign agent.
Between today's disaster in court and revelations that Hunter Biden knew his attorney, millionaire Kevin Morris, was secretly purchasing his"artwork," I couldn't help but wonder: Is the first son's legal team high or something?Hunter’s crack legal team probably should’ve been the first clue that this wouldn’t be simple pic.twitter.com/RYXSuOoN3L
But like Icarus flying too close to the sun, the hubris of the Biden bunch ultimately got the best of Hunter. After discovering that the plea deal would not protect Biden from further prosecution for acting as a foreign agent, Biden's attorney blew up the deal, telling the prosecutor to"just rip it up." In the end, the prosecutors did, after one failed attempt to craft a replacement deal.
One would never expect Hunter Biden, the most flagrant failson of a dynasty of dilettante drunks, to prove himself a worthy or competent defendant. But Biden's legal team somehow blew a 3-1 lead. Perhaps the affair of the paintings may provide an explanation as to why.
