the judge. I don’t believe that Republicans are unhappy that the plea deal fell apart because it now keeps Hunter Biden in the news. It’s my understanding that Hunter has already paid the fines and back taxes. The indicted charge is serious, but it’s also something that is not prosecuted often.

I know others here disagree, but I believe Garland erred in making Weiss a Special Counsel. He essentially gave him permission to stretch his investigation out for as long as he wants, just as Ken Starr did investigating every aspect of the Clintons’ lives that had absolutely nothing to do with the one thing for which he was impeached.

So now that Hunter has been indicted, Weiss can ensure that his trial takes place next year and any verdict hits before the 2024 election.
