 Hunter Biden Probe Will End With ‘Very Sympathetic Plea Agreement,’ Former Federal Prosecutor Predicts

As the federal investigation into Hunter Biden and his tax affairs wraps up, the fix appears to be in, according to former federal prosecutor Jim Trusty.

Yesterday, it was widely reported that the investigation had reached a “critical stage,” and Justice Department officials were looking into whether to charge Hunter with various tax violations, possible foreign lobbying violations and more.

Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, a prosecutor appointed by former President Donald Trump, is conducting the investigation, which reportedly began in 2018.

Trusty—currently an attorney and Fox News legal analyst—told America’s Newsroom hosts Bill Hemmer and Sandra Smith that he was “skeptical” that anything other than a whitewash is in the works.

“It sounds like we’re trotting out a guilty plea, not an indictment,” he said, going to explain that a plea deal would involve “very narrow facts” that “deflate” the case.

“It could deflate everything into a little silo for Hunter Biden, and a very sympathetic story about addiction,” he said, adding that he had heard that there was “open fretting by prosecutors on the case” that “Hunter Biden’s drug addiction was somehow a defense to a bunch of white collar crimes.”

Trusty told the Fox hosts why he thinks using Hunter’s drug addiction as a defense is not applicable.

Basically, yes.

However, a federal plea agreement generally would not prevent a subsequent state proceeding, including a criminal indictment, on the same set of facts, under the dual sovereign theory.

So perhaps some enterprising state DA who wants to do the "right thing" and who can find sufficient nexus with her/his state, will step up and prosecute this bastard.
