Media Reacts to Hunter Biden's Failed Plea Deal · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden plea deal, not pleads not guilty after plea
0:05
Speaker 1: deal is derailed, and now the media reacting shocked by
0:10
Speaker 1: the fact that the president now could be opened back
0:12
Speaker 1: up to investigations. All this because the lawyers of Hunter
0:16
Speaker 1: Biden misled in the essence lied to the court the
0:19
Speaker 1: sweetheart deal which would shield Hunter Biden from any future prosecution.
0:24
Speaker 1: The judge said, when did you put that in there?
0:26
Speaker 1: That was not supposed to be in there. I don't
0:28
Speaker 1: feel comfortable with that. In other words, no, you're not
0:31
Speaker 1: getting this deal, at least at this point in my
0:33
Speaker 1: court room, the judge refusing to accept the Hunter Biden
0:37
Speaker 1: plea deal. Here's how Lester Holt described it on NBC News.
0:41
Speaker 2: Room's surprised for President Biden's son, Hunter, who was widely
0:45
Speaker 2: expected to walk out of a court today with most
0:47
Speaker 2: of his legal troubles behind him. Instead, the younger Biden
0:51
Speaker 2: saw his plea arrangement with the government over tax charges
0:55
Speaker 2: crumble when the judge challenged some of the terms of
0:57
Speaker 2: the deal, including a constitutional question, telling the two sides
1:01
Speaker 2: she cannot accept or reject the plea agreement. The upshot
1:06
Speaker 2: instead of pleading guilty to failing to pay his taxes
1:08
Speaker 2: for two years. As the arrangement called for Hunter Biden
1:12
Speaker 2: pled not guilty to the charges, the two sides ordered
1:16
Speaker 2: to provide the court with more information. Hunter Biden has
1:19
Speaker 2: been a frequent target of President Biden's political adversaries, with
1:23
Speaker 2: many calling the Hunter Plea agreement a sweetheart deal. Ryan
1:27
Speaker 2: Nobles has details.
1:29
Speaker 3: Hunter Biden entered a federal courthouse today hoping to bring
1:32
Speaker 3: to an end his legal problems. It did not turn
1:35
Speaker 3: out that way. Tonight, in a stunning move, a federal
1:39
Speaker 3: judge refusing to sign off on his controversial plea deal,
1:43
Speaker 3: Judge Mary Ellen Norieika, a Trump appointee, saying the agreement
1:47
Speaker 3: contained atypical provisions and she needed more information, telling the
1:51
Speaker 3: lawyer's quote, I am not in a position to accept
1:54
Speaker 3: or reject this plea agreement, so I'm going to defer it.
1:57
Speaker 3: At one point, as the deal was unraveling, Biden's attorney declaring, quote,
2:01
Speaker 3: will rip it up while prosecutors revealing their investigation into
2:05
Speaker 3: Hunter Biden is ongoing, and the deal would only absolve
2:09
Speaker 3: Hunter of legal issues between twenty fourteen and twenty nineteen,
2:13
Speaker 3: and only on drugs, taxes, and firearms charges. Hunter Biden
2:17
Speaker 3: today pleading not guilty to the tax charges. The delay
2:20
Speaker 3: in the case a further political headache for the White House.
2:23
Speaker 4: This case was handled independently, as all of you know,
2:27
Speaker 4: by the Justice Department, under the leadership of a prosecutor
2:30
Speaker 4: appointed by the former President Trump.
2:33
Speaker 3: The original plea agreement, sparking outrage from Republicans, blasting it
2:37
Speaker 3: as a sweetheart deal for the President's son which allowed
2:40
Speaker 3: him to avoid prison time. The Attorney General has said
2:43
Speaker 3: that US Attorney David Weiss has full authority to bring
2:46
Speaker 3: whatever charges he wanted, but two IRS investigators turned whistleblowers
2:51
Speaker 3: recently told Congress that was not true.
2:54
Speaker 5: It appeared to me, based on what I experienced, that
2:56
Speaker 5: the US attorney in Delaware in our investigation was constantly hamstrong,
3:01
Speaker 5: limited and marginalized by DOJ officials as well as other
3:05
Speaker 5: US attorneys.
3:06
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings at the center of
3:09
Speaker 3: House Republicans growing investigations into the president that could lead
3:13
Speaker 3: to an impeachment inquiry.
3:15
Speaker 6: Impeachment inquiry is allowing Congress to get the information.
3:19
Speaker 3: The President has repeatedly denied he spoke to his son
3:22
Speaker 3: about his businesses. So far, the GOP providing no evidence
3:26
Speaker 3: of wrongdoing, and Hunter Biden also at the center of
3:29
Speaker 3: another controversy, with President Biden facing criticism for not publicly
3:34
Speaker 3: acknowledging his seventh grandchild, Hunter's daughter.
3:37
Speaker 7: I have six grandchildren and I'm crazy about them.
3:41
Speaker 3: Hunter Biden and the child's mother recently concluded a legal dispute.
3:45
Speaker 3: The White House has declined to discuss the issue.
3:48
Speaker 2: So Ryan, let's circle back to that surprising court hearing today.
3:51
Speaker 2: What happens now in all this, Well.
3:53
Speaker 3: The judge is given the two sides thirty days to
3:56
Speaker 3: work out an agreement that would satisfy her concerns. And
3:59
Speaker 3: this comes as the US Attorney David Weiss, who has
4:02
Speaker 3: disputed the claims of those irs whistleblowers, has offered to
4:05
Speaker 3: testify in front of Congress later this fall.
4:09
Speaker 1: So you look at this now, and you see this,
4:11
Speaker 1: and now it's you can see how the media is
4:14
Speaker 1: covering it. Right, They're totally changing. They just mentioned it's
4:16
Speaker 1: a sweetheart deal. They just said this thing blew up
4:19
Speaker 1: in their face. They just said that this is a
4:22
Speaker 1: bad day for the family. Right, This is a very,
4:25
Speaker 1: very very bad day for not just Hunter Biden, but
4:29
Speaker 1: also Joe Biden and what this could now open up.
4:33
Speaker 8: MSNBC.
4:34
Speaker 1: However, they said they this was a gift and they
4:40
Speaker 1: said this is not a bad thing. This morning trying
4:43
Speaker 1: to spend this and I expect that from MSNBC. Their
4:47
Speaker 1: audience doesn't want to hear anything bad about the Bidens,
4:50
Speaker 1: So they're going to keep lying to their audience if
4:52
Speaker 1: they have to.
4:54
Speaker 8: They are.
4:54
Speaker 1: You know Claire mccaskell, for example, last night, she went
4:57
Speaker 1: on TV and offended the Biden saying, everybody stop picking
5:02
Speaker 1: on this guy who's just addicted to drugs, right, like,
5:06
Speaker 1: be nice to them. Former White House Press Secretary hosting
5:10
Speaker 1: in primetime last night, sitting in for Chris A's had
5:13
Speaker 1: mccaskal on and this is the best way they could
5:15
Speaker 1: screw They could skew this or try to manipulate the
5:19
Speaker 1: reality of this court date.
5:20
Speaker 9: Listen, you gave me a perfect transition to ask you
5:23
Speaker 9: to put your political hat now on, Clara, because what
5:26
Speaker 9: I'm curious about is what you will be watching over
5:29
Speaker 9: the next couple of days. I mean, hunter Biden is
5:31
Speaker 9: a favorite target of Republicans in the House. Republicans from
5:36
Speaker 9: the Trump wing of the party and others. What accusations
5:39
Speaker 9: and arguments. Do you think they're going to make given
5:42
Speaker 9: this didn't go exactly as planned today, Well, they're going.
5:45
Speaker 7: To keep doing what they've been doing. They are going
5:48
Speaker 7: to try to indict a father for loving his son
5:51
Speaker 7: who has been addicted to drugs and or alcohol.
5:55
Speaker 1: And did you hear that they're going to try to
5:57
Speaker 1: indict a father for loving his son who has been
6:02
Speaker 1: addicted to drugs and or alcohol? Before I play this, Look,
6:06
Speaker 1: you did the tough thing during COVID. You paid your
6:09
Speaker 1: people and pulled your business through the pandemic, and now
6:12
Speaker 1: doing the tough thing could qualify you for a twenty
6:16
Speaker 1: six thousand dollars per employee at COVID tax Relief dot org.
6:22
Speaker 1: Government funds are available to reward companies with two or
6:24
Speaker 1: more employees who stayed open during COVID. This is not
6:29
Speaker 1: a loan and you don't have to pay it back. Look,
6:32
Speaker 1: this program is complicated, but nobody knows more about it
6:35
Speaker 1: than the CPAs and tax experts at Consumer Tax Advocates.
6:39
Speaker 1: The best part is you pay nothing upfront. They do
6:42
Speaker 1: all the work, and then they share percentage of cash
6:45
Speaker 1: that you get. Businesses of all types, including nonprofits, and
6:48
Speaker 1: churches can qualify, including those who took PBP loans. Even
6:52
Speaker 1: if you had increases in sales, you did the tough
6:56
Speaker 1: thing for your employees during COVID.
6:58
Speaker 8: Let COVID tax Relief.
7:00
Speaker 1: Dot org help get you up to twenty six thousand
7:03
Speaker 1: dollars per employee the COVID tax Relief dot Org. That's
7:07
Speaker 1: COVID tax Relief dot org. COVID tax Relief dot org.
7:13
Speaker 1: Now listen carefully. She's going to tell you there's no
7:15
Speaker 1: evidence connecting Joe Biden to any of the Biden crime
7:20
Speaker 1: family crimes.
7:21
Speaker 8: Like you know, the millions of dollars is somehow just
7:24
Speaker 8: not real.
7:24
Speaker 7: Listen to this and without evidence of the father doing
7:28
Speaker 7: anything other than loving that son, and that I think
7:32
Speaker 7: doesn't fly with most of the American people. And they
7:35
Speaker 7: fly within that small calcified circle of the Trumpers who
7:40
Speaker 7: want to make want to believe that somehow Joe Biden
7:44
Speaker 7: was involved in nefarious dealings.
7:46
Speaker 6: But there's no evidence.
7:48
Speaker 7: And believe me, if there was evidence, Durham, who was
7:51
Speaker 7: left in place, as you pointed out, by President Biden,
7:53
Speaker 7: would have found it, and certainly Weiss, who was left
7:56
Speaker 7: in place by President Biden, would have found it. And
8:00
Speaker 7: I do not believe for a minute that either one
8:02
Speaker 7: of those federal prosecutors that had the resources of DJ
8:05
Speaker 7: at their disposal would have found evidence if it was there,
8:09
Speaker 7: that would have shown any problem of Joe Biden. So
8:12
Speaker 7: this is a dog that won't hunt, and they have
8:14
Speaker 7: selective amnesia. By the way, they have selective amnesia. I mean,
8:18
Speaker 7: I can make a very strong arm argument politically that
8:20
Speaker 7: the only reason Donald Trump is president is because of
8:24
Speaker 7: DJ and them inappropriately issuing a letter ten days for
8:28
Speaker 7: the election about Hillary Clinton's emails.
8:30
Speaker 6: You WoT you wouldn't be.
8:32
Speaker 9: The only one who makes who makes that argument. Well,
8:36
Speaker 9: a dog that won't hunts. I love that phrase. Love
8:38
Speaker 9: a good Clara mccaskell ism, Thank you so much.
8:41
Speaker 8: For Claire mccaskell is.
8:42
Speaker 1: And then that sweet what a cute little interview there,
8:45
Speaker 1: Love you, Claire, You're so sweet. They get straight up
8:48
Speaker 1: lined and they're going to do this on MSNBC and
8:52
Speaker 1: the media will try to get back to this. Adam Schiff,
8:54
Speaker 1: by the way walking to his office this morning, here's
8:57
Speaker 1: what he had to say about all this.
9:00
Speaker 10: I think the Republican desire to teach someone, anyone, no
9:05
Speaker 10: matter whether there's any evidence, just shows how they have
9:12
Speaker 10: descended into chaos.
9:14
Speaker 1: The Republican's desire to impeach someone, anyone, no matter if
9:18
Speaker 1: there's any evidence, just shows how they have descended into chaos.
9:22
Speaker 1: This is the same guy that knew that the Steele
9:25
Speaker 1: dossier was paid for by Hillary Clinton. This is the
9:28
Speaker 1: same guy that impeached the president United Sates America, tried
9:31
Speaker 1: to overthrow the will of the voters in this country,
9:34
Speaker 1: knowing the entire time that Hillary Clinton, right, Hillary Clinton
9:38
Speaker 1: and the DNC paid for the Steele dossier, and yet
9:41
Speaker 1: he still went forward to try to overthrow the will
9:43
Speaker 1: of the people. CNN's David Kellyan, he's their chief political
9:48
Speaker 1: director at CNN. He described the Hunter Biden ongoing investigation
9:53
Speaker 1: this way.
9:54
Speaker 11: An ongoing dj investigation into some of the allegations that
9:58
Speaker 11: they have been putting out.
9:59
Speaker 12: Yeah, the fact that if indeed the result out of
10:02
Speaker 12: court today is there's clear understanding on both sides that
10:06
Speaker 12: there is ongoing investigation in the Hunter Biden that fits
10:09
Speaker 12: beautifully into the Republican frame. You have to understand, you,
10:14
Speaker 12: noted Kevin McCarthy, the speaker, talking laying the groundwork for
10:18
Speaker 12: an impeachment inquiry, which goes back to these issues as well,
10:21
Speaker 12: because the whole impeachment inquiry that he wants to set
10:24
Speaker 12: up here is about Biden's business dealings, Hunter Biden's business dealings,
10:28
Speaker 12: and if indeed Joe Biden in any way as vice
10:31
Speaker 12: president may have interfered in some way or exerted influence
10:35
Speaker 12: for the benefit of his son or his family. They
10:37
Speaker 12: haven't produced any evidence that that is the situation yet,
10:40
Speaker 12: But now ad in ongoing investigation way.
10:43
Speaker 1: By the way, do you hear this, They haven't produced
10:45
Speaker 1: any evidence. So the suspicious activity ports are saying are
10:48
Speaker 1: not evidence. The phone calls are not evidence, the text
10:51
Speaker 1: messages are not evidence. The laptop from Hell is not evidence.
10:55
Speaker 1: The wissow blowers coming forward are not evident. So everything
10:59
Speaker 1: that we have that is evidence that got this judge
11:02
Speaker 1: to say I'm not doing this deal they're now saying
11:05
Speaker 1: is not evidence at CNN.
11:10
Speaker 12: And it allows them to portray a picture entering into
11:13
Speaker 12: the campaign season to start chipping away at Joe Biden's character.
11:17
Speaker 6: That's the entire sort of premise here. That's the goal
11:20
Speaker 6: of what they want to do.
11:20
Speaker 12: They want to money up Joe Biden in the minds
11:23
Speaker 12: of voters ahead of the re election.
11:25
Speaker 1: So there's no evidence. CNN just said they're chief political guy.
11:29
Speaker 1: This is how much scumbaggery there is in media. I mean,
11:32
Speaker 1: this is truly how much scumbaggery there is. Let's deal
11:37
Speaker 1: with this shocking news. It is shocking and also exciting
11:41
Speaker 1: news that deals with a pretty big issue.
11:46
Speaker 8: The issue that it deals with is.
11:48
Speaker 1: The Biden crime family and now there being some accountability
11:51
Speaker 1: for the Biden crime family. Media going all in to
11:56
Speaker 1: discredit this, to undermine the now real reality that Hunter
12:00
Speaker 1: Biden and Joe Biden may be held accountable for their crimes.
12:04
Speaker 1: They keep saying there is no, okay, no evidence. Marco
12:08
Speaker 1: Rubio has this to say about impeachment. Now take a
12:13
Speaker 1: listen this.
12:14
Speaker 6: Interest they're going to the Biden family. Well, I think more.
12:17
Speaker 11: Than just and we're supposed to just say, oh, well.
12:19
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, so I think more than just the I
12:22
Speaker 13: I think sometimes people would think to themselves, well, they
12:24
Speaker 13: paid them all this money, so now in return, you're
12:26
Speaker 13: gonna do something nice for them. I think we need
12:27
Speaker 13: to think about what other information. I mean, if you've
12:29
Speaker 13: paid Hunter Biden all this money, whether you're a Chinese
12:31
Speaker 13: company or the Ukrainian company. This is compromising information. This
12:36
Speaker 13: is the kind of thing that you could backchannel. Hey,
12:38
Speaker 13: you know, we're going to release this stuff if you
12:40
Speaker 13: push too hard or you don't do what we want
12:42
Speaker 13: you to do in policy front. I mean, understand when
12:44
Speaker 13: you do deals with these people. These people have like
12:47
Speaker 13: whatever Ukrainian business interest Hunter Biden was involved in. These
12:50
Speaker 13: people have documents, They've got more information than we have
12:53
Speaker 13: right now, and I'm sure they threatened, if that's the case,
12:56
Speaker 13: to provide it publicly and create real problems for the president.
12:59
Speaker 6: That's true.
13:00
Speaker 13: End this amount of leverage to have over a political figure.
13:02
Speaker 13: That's why things like this have to be revealed.
13:05
Speaker 9: And Senator talk of impeachment proceedings at least being mentioned
13:09
Speaker 9: by Speaker McCarthy. What is your view on that given
13:13
Speaker 9: what we've learned so far.
13:14
Speaker 13: Well, let me first say, I'm not an impeachment perin
13:17
Speaker 13: I don't want to turn into Peru. Okay, that's now
13:19
Speaker 13: basically impeached their last seven presidents. So we have impeachment
13:22
Speaker 13: counter impeachments all the time. That said, what if you
13:24
Speaker 13: listen very carefully, what the Speaker of the House is
13:26
Speaker 13: set is that impeachment proceedings at this point is the
13:30
Speaker 13: only process they have from an evidentiary front to be
13:33
Speaker 13: able to go out in subpoena records and get documents
13:35
Speaker 13: and get information that otherwise is not forthcoming and isn't
13:38
Speaker 13: being provided because they're ignoring congressional subpoenas from the committee level.
13:41
Speaker 13: So that's what the Speaker McCarthy has said, as those
13:43
Speaker 13: proceedings will be used. Now we'll see what that uncomvers
13:46
Speaker 13: I mean, like anything else. I mean, the process exists
13:48
Speaker 13: for a reason. But I don't think he's saying we're
13:50
Speaker 13: going to definitely impeach him. I think he's saying we're
13:52
Speaker 13: going to have an impeachment process to generate evidence that
13:54
Speaker 13: we can't get right now because there's stonewalling US across
13:57
Speaker 13: government agencies and Biden and other private parties refusing to
14:01
Speaker 13: provide information that could provide more insight into all this.
14:05
Speaker 1: Marco Rubio, I like how he talks in a very
14:08
Speaker 1: measured way about this and just kind of lays it out.
14:11
Speaker 1: And if you look at this compared to what the
14:13
Speaker 1: rest of the media is saying about this, and they're
14:16
Speaker 1: in shock that this has happened. They just don't know
14:18
Speaker 1: how they're going to put around it, and they're just
14:21
Speaker 1: you know, wow, this is just over the top, right,
14:25
Speaker 1: Claire mccaskell, Right, GOP trying and Biden for loving his
14:29
Speaker 1: son who is has been addicted to drugs. No, that's
14:32
Speaker 1: not what we're doing at all. But if you put
14:34
Speaker 1: these errors together long enough, and you keep saying them
14:36
Speaker 1: over and over and over and over and over again,
14:41
Speaker 1: then it may have an impact on the public. That's
14:43
Speaker 1: what they're hoping. White House Press Secretary asked about this
14:47
Speaker 1: yesterday as well, when all this was going down. Congress
14:51
Speaker 1: is Congress stefan It called out the House's shifting message
14:55
Speaker 1: on Biden's involvement with Hunter business deals. Remember, their line
14:59
Speaker 1: was he ever talked about business with his son. Then
15:01
Speaker 1: it changed too. We called it out here as soon
15:03
Speaker 1: as we heard it. He was never in business with
15:07
Speaker 1: his son, So they've changed that narrative at the White
15:10
Speaker 1: House listened.
15:11
Speaker 7: Press suctor Koeen Jean Pierre reacted to all of this yesterday.
15:14
Speaker 6: Here's what you said.
15:14
Speaker 8: Watch.
15:16
Speaker 14: So I just want to clear this up once and
15:17
Speaker 14: for all. The President has previously said that he has
15:21
Speaker 14: never discussed overseas business dealings with his son. But the
15:24
Speaker 14: White House now says that the President has never been
15:28
Speaker 14: in business with his son. So why the updated language?
15:33
Speaker 14: Which statement is true or is the semantics? And they're
15:36
Speaker 14: both true.
15:37
Speaker 4: As I stated on Monday when I was asked this
15:39
Speaker 4: question multiple times, nothing has changed. Nothing has changed on
15:43
Speaker 4: this Nothing has changed on this, and so could ask
15:48
Speaker 4: me a million different ways on this question.
15:51
Speaker 6: Nothing has changed, nothing has changed. Conglessimon, what do you
15:54
Speaker 6: want to say?
15:55
Speaker 15: Not only is that factually inaccurate, but it's condescending to
15:58
Speaker 15: the American people. The people are smart. They know that
16:01
Speaker 15: the White House is trying to cover their tracks. They
16:03
Speaker 15: know that they're having to change their position because we've
16:05
Speaker 15: shown evidence that Joe Biden has spoken to Hunter Biden
16:08
Speaker 15: about his overseas business dealings, and what's worse, he did so,
16:12
Speaker 15: and I believe was intimately involved when he was the
16:14
Speaker 15: sitting Vice president, and now he's involved in forcing the
16:18
Speaker 15: Department of Justice to cover up and protect the Biden family,
16:22
Speaker 15: you know, to protect them from the rule of law
16:24
Speaker 15: and prosecution. That's fundamentally un American. And as I said,
16:29
Speaker 15: it is our constitutional responsibility to root out corruption in
16:33
Speaker 15: every agency, and we're going to do that as House Republicans,
16:36
Speaker 15: and I've been proud, you know, standing in the breach
16:38
Speaker 15: on some of the toughest fights we've had related to
16:40
Speaker 15: the unconstitutional impeachment under the Democrats. We're going to do
16:44
Speaker 15: things right and follow the facts and evidence and make
16:46
Speaker 15: sure that the impeachment inquiry, our subpoenas, and our requests
16:50
Speaker 15: for documents have the most understanding, and that the judges
16:56
Speaker 15: rule in favor of the House of Representatives when it
16:59
Speaker 15: comes to our institutional responsibility of oversaying.
17:01
Speaker 16: Well, I mean, I can understand the issue the White House,
17:05
Speaker 16: and she's right, they're lying.
17:08
Speaker 8: They're absolutely lying to you, you know.
17:11
Speaker 1: And then Claut mccaskell also said this on MSNBC a
17:17
Speaker 1: moment ago. Wow, she said, quote, what I'm interested in
17:20
Speaker 1: is who's been given immunity to testify against Trump.
17:23
Speaker 8: So now she's saying.
17:25
Speaker 1: That the immunity deal that was going to be given
17:27
Speaker 1: to the Bidens, now she's saying needs to be flipped
17:29
Speaker 1: the other way, and she's going back after the Trumps.
17:33
Speaker 1: So they're going to do everything they can to try
17:35
Speaker 1: to make this muddy the water say oh, this is
17:37
Speaker 1: all just political.
17:37
Speaker 8: It's back and forth political.
17:39
Speaker 1: There's one there's one company that's more political than another company.
17:43
Speaker 1: Another you know, another party's one is more political than
17:46
Speaker 1: the other party. And that's how we're going to deal
17:48
Speaker 1: with this, and that's how we're going to fight against it.
17:50
Speaker 1: And that's what we're going to say that there's a problem.
17:52
Speaker 1: That's that's the whole ball game. Now, let me also

19:24
Speaker 1: is now putting the Justice Department in the hot seat
19:27
Speaker 1: by default putting also the president in the hot seat.
19:31
Speaker 1: And this also, I think is pretty clear that this
19:33
Speaker 1: means that the what happened in Delaware and the cover
19:36
Speaker 1: up to the Biden crime family, what happened to get
19:39
Speaker 1: this cover up is not going now unnoticed.
19:42
Speaker 8: Now, don't worry.
19:43
Speaker 1: The media is now saying, talking about the liberal media,
19:45
Speaker 1: Oh well, this is just a Republican's obsessed with trying
19:48
Speaker 1: to impeach somebody and trying to find a crime into
19:51
Speaker 1: muddy the waters. Not the case at all. There's actual
19:54
Speaker 1: evidence here. But besides that, that's how Democrats are now
19:57
Speaker 1: going to deal with this.
19:58
Speaker 8: Now.
19:59
Speaker 1: I want you to hear what the Five had to
20:00
Speaker 1: say on Fox yesterday about this. Was a very interesting
20:03
Speaker 1: conversation about the Justice Department now facing all this heat
20:06
Speaker 1: over the developments that transpired during the Hunter Biden investigation.
20:11
Speaker 1: The first court appearance on Wednesday, as this plea deal
20:13
Speaker 1: fell apart, he then pleaded not guilty, as federal prosecutors
20:17
Speaker 1: confirmed me still under federal investigation.
20:20
Speaker 8: So what does that mean? Listen?
20:22
Speaker 11: Not off the hook? The first son's sweetheart plea deal
20:25
Speaker 11: getting blown up in a dramatic legal twist, Hunter Biden
20:28
Speaker 11: showing up in a federal courthouse in Delaware and pleading
20:31
Speaker 11: not guilty to gun and tax charges. The shocking development
20:34
Speaker 11: happened after the judge started asking just some face of
20:37
Speaker 11: questions on the terms of the original plea agreement, like
20:40
Speaker 11: what was and was not part of the deal. The
20:43
Speaker 11: judge was very concerned on whether Hunter could get blanket
20:46
Speaker 11: immunity from future prosecutions, and at one point said that
20:49
Speaker 11: she is not going to be a rubber stamp. The
20:52
Speaker 11: prosecutors also admitting that there's still an ongoing investigation surrounding
20:57
Speaker 11: Hunter Biden and potential violations of foreign lobbying law. The
21:01
Speaker 11: White House, well, you can imagine not too keen to
21:04
Speaker 11: talk about any of this.
21:06
Speaker 4: Hunter Biden is a private citizen and this was a
21:09
Speaker 4: personal matter for him. As we have said, the President,
21:12
Speaker 4: the first Lady, they love their son and they support
21:15
Speaker 4: him as he continues to rebuild his life.
21:18
Speaker 9: When he was a senator crafted dun legislation.
21:21
Speaker 13: As a president, he talks often about the need to
21:25
Speaker 13: get illegal firearms off of our streets.
21:29
Speaker 15: So when someone possesses one illegally, what does the President
21:33
Speaker 15: believe should happen to there.
21:34
Speaker 4: I'm going to be very careful because I see where
21:36
Speaker 4: this question is going, and I'm just going to refer
21:39
Speaker 4: you as this has been an independent investigation. It's overseen
21:42
Speaker 4: by the Department of Justice. I'm going to let them
21:44
Speaker 4: speak to this as they are moving forward.
21:47
Speaker 11: Judge, there's probably a good reason that the Justice Department
21:51
Speaker 11: did not release the play agreement for all of us
21:53
Speaker 11: to see, because when the judge started just asking some
21:55
Speaker 11: basic questions.
21:56
Speaker 6: It was pretty clear. It was outrageous. I've na should
21:59
Speaker 6: be well.
22:00
Speaker 16: The deal was laughable and the Department of Justice today
22:04
Speaker 16: is not in a good place. What normally happens in
22:07
Speaker 16: a plea deal? And I remember from when I was
22:10
Speaker 16: a judge, I mean that the day you took please
22:13
Speaker 16: was a slow day. There was never any drama. Everybody
22:16
Speaker 16: understood the parameters of the plea. The defendant comes in
22:19
Speaker 16: and the judge has to do an allocution to make
22:21
Speaker 16: sure that the defendant understands the parameters of the plea,
22:25
Speaker 16: And so the judge will be very specific about what
22:28
Speaker 16: did you do, what did you say?
22:30
Speaker 6: What were you thinking? In this case?
22:32
Speaker 16: You know, on a tax case, where did the money
22:34
Speaker 16: come from? Who were you working for in the tax
22:37
Speaker 16: years that he's charged for. But in this particular case,
22:43
Speaker 16: normally you would have, you know, the defense and the
22:47
Speaker 16: prosecution would have hammered this out. I mean, this would
22:50
Speaker 16: have been very clear. I've never had anything like that
22:53
Speaker 16: happen to me. Ever, wow, never, I mean plea deals
22:56
Speaker 16: they're hammered out because they know if they don't do it,
22:59
Speaker 16: they end up going to trial. So in this case,
23:02
Speaker 16: it was really laughable. What happened because when the judge
23:05
Speaker 16: started the discussion and the intro to the allocution, it
23:11
Speaker 16: was clear that when she said, what is going on
23:15
Speaker 16: with this continuing investigation? And then the defense attorney started
23:19
Speaker 16: talking about immunity, and it appeared that they were thinking
23:23
Speaker 16: about immunity going into the future, not just past immunity,
23:27
Speaker 16: but immunity going into the future, which is something that
23:30
Speaker 16: is just not done unless you're at the very least
23:34
Speaker 16: cooperating and bringing in someone like a major drug dealer.
23:37
Speaker 16: So the allocution as it was supposed to go forward
23:41
Speaker 16: basically couldn't happen because once it was on the record,
23:44
Speaker 16: the Department of Justice had to say, well, it's a
23:49
Speaker 16: continuing investigation. And the judge says, so you might file
23:53
Speaker 16: more crimes, more charges, and they say possibly, and she says,
23:58
Speaker 16: like Pharah for an agent Paul Manafort. And at that
24:02
Speaker 16: point the attorneys started getting very uncomfortable because here's the
24:06
Speaker 16: here's the insult, Dana. This was a deal where everyone
24:10
Speaker 16: was in on the con, but the judge and the
24:13
Speaker 16: American people. It was a con going down. They didn't
24:16
Speaker 16: expect the judge to ask any questions, and they said,
24:19
Speaker 16: you know what, We're going to get this through and
24:20
Speaker 16: Hunter's going to walk out and he's going to be
24:22
Speaker 16: just fine. And the judge was not interested in what
24:26
Speaker 16: had gone on in terms of you know, they're saying that,
24:30
Speaker 16: you know, we're going to give him future immunity, because
24:32
Speaker 16: she knew it was continuing investigation and even if it
24:35
Speaker 16: isn't this Department of Justice, the next Department of Justice,
24:38
Speaker 16: if statute of limitations hasn't passed, and go after him.
24:41
Speaker 16: But the she then said to the to the prosecutors,
24:46
Speaker 16: is there any precedent in the Department.
24:49
Speaker 6: Of Justice for doing something like this.
24:51
Speaker 16: With both of the version program with the gun which
24:53
Speaker 16: she said was unheard of and I've never heard of it.
24:56
Speaker 6: It's one of the things I've talked about.
24:58
Speaker 16: How can a guy go to plead guilty to a
25:00
Speaker 16: gun charge when he has them in charge with a
25:01
Speaker 16: gun charge and they couldn't have They didn't have any
25:05
Speaker 16: answers to any of this. Now, this started dan at
25:08
Speaker 16: the night last night, right before the plea, there was
25:12
Speaker 16: someone who called to strike testimony of the whistleblowers. It
25:15
Speaker 16: happened on I believe on Tuesday or Monday of this week.
25:19
Speaker 16: From the transcript, the judge tracked the phone call. The
25:23
Speaker 16: judge found out that it was traced back to someone
25:28
Speaker 16: connected to Hunter Biden's lawyers.
25:30
Speaker 6: The judge is the one who found that out.
25:32
Speaker 16: So when that judge walked into that courtroom, she had
25:35
Speaker 16: a bad taste in her mouth from the beginning when
25:37
Speaker 16: they tried to strike the testimony of the whistleblowers.
25:40
Speaker 6: And in the end, the DOJ.
25:42
Speaker 16: Couldn't offer this deal and say with a wink and
25:46
Speaker 16: a nod, it's under investigation, and it was clear why
25:48
Speaker 16: they were doing it to keep Congress from it.
25:51
Speaker 11: You're probably gonna hear a lot about this judge from
25:53
Speaker 11: the left. I would imagine some pretty aggressive scrutiny you
25:56
Speaker 11: imagine is coming. Remember, interestingly, she is the one she
25:59
Speaker 11: ruled against the laptop repairman in his defamation suit. So
26:03
Speaker 11: it's not like she has been somebody who is just
26:06
Speaker 11: trying to help the anti Hunter side, if that, if
26:10
Speaker 11: we can call it that, Greg, do you remember when the.
26:15
Speaker 1: Let's just stop there for a second. This is a judge.
26:17
Speaker 1: By the way, they're going to say Trump appointed judge.
26:19
Speaker 1: They're gonna say it over and over again. These judges
26:21
Speaker 1: don't get these jobs without the liberal centers agreeing to
26:24
Speaker 1: them the same way that you don't get an attorney,
26:27
Speaker 1: a United States attorney for Delaware. He can't get that
26:31
Speaker 1: job without the two liberal centers signing off on him.
26:35
Speaker 1: So you're not getting a conservative judge, if that makes sense.
26:38
Speaker 1: This judge went against the repairman and the Hunter Biden laptop.
26:42
Speaker 1: So understand, this is not a This is not a
26:46
Speaker 1: conservative judge by any means.
26:49
Speaker 8: This is a liberal, more liberal judge.
26:51
Speaker 1: But when you lie to the court the way that
26:53
Speaker 1: the Hunter Biden attorneys did, and she figured it out
26:57
Speaker 1: because she was being misled and lie to by the court,
27:01
Speaker 1: that's when there apparently is what I would describe as
27:04
Speaker 1: hell to pay now for that, And now there's an
27:07
Speaker 1: ongoing investigation. And she's like, well, if there's an ongoing investigation,
27:11
Speaker 1: why are you treating me this way, and why are
27:14
Speaker 1: you lying to the court in essence trying to get
27:16
Speaker 1: a deal that is absurd that it gives immunity that
27:18
Speaker 1: should never be given. And that's a very very very
27:22
Speaker 1: very very important point that needs to be made. Make
