Okay, so I might be blowing things out of proportion a little with that characterization, but the fact that Judge Noreika rejected the plea deal means that Hunter Biden might actually see some accountability for his actions. True, he did plead not guilty to the tax charges, and the cards are stacked against Lady Justice when it comes to the Biden Crime Syndicate, but Wednesday’s developments do give us a glimmer of hope.
Judge Noreika might have made her way onto quite a few conservatives’ Christmas card lists — my friend and colleague Athena Thorne called her the "bravest judge ever" in a Slack chat — because she asked many of the questions that we’ve been asking about that unreal plea deal.
Athena reports that Noreika "questioned lawyers during the hearing about her many concerns: Why was the deal presented to her as a binding plea with global immunity, the terms of which she could not modify? Why was a tax plea linked to a firearms charge? What about FARA charges for Biden, who had clearly been acting as a foreign agent? Noreika asked if Hunter Biden was still under investigation and was told he was. She also noted that the diversion program deal was ’unusual,’ saying it included ’non-standard terms’ like ’broad immunity’ from other potential charges."
