Hunter Biden case: First son likely to stand trial after plea deal talks collapse

WASHINGTON — Federal prosecutors in Delaware said Friday that discussions with first son Hunter Biden’s lawyers about resurrecting a probation-only plea bargain for tax and gun charges are at an “impasse” and that there’s likely to be a trial in the case in either Washington, DC, or Southern California.

The court filings coincided with Attorney General Merrick Garland announcing that he is appointing Delaware US Attorney David Weiss to serve as special counsel in the case, meaning he will have additional investigative powers and the ability to bring charges outside of his jurisdiction.

Hunter, 53, agreed in June to plead guilty to two tax-crime misdemeanors and to a gun-charge felony that would be expunged after two years of probation.

But the plea deal dramatically collapsed during a July 26 court hearing.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

That may be the spin but not the actuality. We'll see how much Weiss slow walks it.
