1. Nope. The plea deal fell apart because the DOJ and Hunter's lawyers

disagreed about what supposedly had been agreed to once they got in front of the judge. The DOJ said the deal meant no further prosecutions on some certain actions, and Hunter's lawyers said the deal meant no further prosecutions of a larger time period/more actions.

While the Repugs did freak out about a deal existing, the judge did not reject it on those grounds or due to intimidation but because the prosecution and defense were not on the same page about how broad the future non-prosecution aspect of the deal was.

So the DOJ was intimately involved in the plea deal failure.
