Trump confirms his attorneys met with the special counsel "explaining in detail that I did nothing wrong, was advised by many lawyers, and that an Indictment of me would only further destroy our Country." He says no notice of a pending indictment. (Though the target letter is… pic.twitter.com/g50mYDXPgK

I have stayed away (mostly) from the Hunter Biden stuff because it really is in the news because of Joe Biden (Jimmy Carter had the same issues with brother Billy, whom the media sought out and stayed with because he was a "character." He deserved better.). But this is an excellent summation of what happened in that attempted plea agreement yesterday, and part of the reason it went pear-shaped has to do with the threat of Trump in office again.
So I recommend it. The title is the last line of the post, a reference to the fact these are misdemeanor charges which several former AUSA's have said publicly would never be prosecuted (waste of resources on such small beer), much less warrant a special prosecutor and a high-profile plea deal.
The whole thing stinks to high heaven, and the judge acted like a judge, to the credit of her and the legal system that actually exists to see justice done, which also means protecting people from persecution. Why, then, did I post the tweet about Trump and his lawyers? Because he is the dead opposite of the situation with Robert Hunter Biden: he is the reason a justice system seeks justice against the unjust.
The damage to our country is done by prosecuting people who have famous last names and close connections to public officials, especially for crimes which judicial economy says aren't worth the time of those involved in the system. Again, kudos to the judge for taking it so seriously, but it never should have come to that.
Trump is getting his just desserts. Hunter Biden is being pilloried for being his father's surviving son.
