    A judge told lawyers for Hunter Biden they could face sanctions over the allegation that one member from their law firm lied to the court clerk over the phone to get records pulled from the docket.

    The threat from Delaware U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika came the day before a scheduled hearing to consider a plea deal for tax and gun violations that could keep the first son out of prison.

    "It appears that the caller misrepresented her identity and who she worked for in an attempt to improperly convince the clerk's office to remove the amicus materials from the docket," Noreika said in an order on Tuesday, according to the Daily Mail.

    "Therefore, it is hereby ordered that, on or before 9pm today on July 25, 2023, counsel for defendant shall show cause as to why sanctions should not be considered for misrepresentations to the court," the judge added.

    The controversy stems from an amicus brief filing by lawyers representing House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO), who encouraged the court to "consider" whistleblower testimony from Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agents claiming the criminal case led by Delaware's U.S. Attorney David Weiss has been slow-walked in a way that precluded more serious charges against Biden.

    Attorney General Merrick Garland has pushed back on claims of political interference. Weiss, who has insisted he had "full authority" to bring charges, was given approval by the Department of Justice (DOJ) to testify to Congress.

    The order noted that Biden's lawyers claimed that the clerk pulled the filing from Smith's legal team "on their own accord." Biden's lawyers also indicated that they were concerned about "personal tax information" being visible and a call was made to inquire about them being placed under seal.

    Smith's attorney, Theodore Kittila, said his team "promptly contacted the clerk's office, and we were advised that someone contacted the court representing that they worked with my office and that they were asking the court to remove" their filing from the docket.

    "We immediately advised that this was inaccurate. The Clerk's Office responded that we would need to re-file. We have done so now," Kittila added.

    In the judge's order, Noreika ruled that the filing be kept under seal until at least the close of business on Wednesday, although the whistleblower testimony to the House Ways and Means Committee is already available for the public to view with light redactions.

    New York Post columnist Miranda Devine posted screenshots of various emails between the camps, including one missive that was sent to Smith's legal team from court official Sam Grimes apologizing for the "confusion" that ensued after a person named "Jessica Bengels" called and said "she worked with Theodore Kittila and it was important the document was removed immediately or they would could file a motion to seal."

    Biden's lawyers, with Latham & Watkins LLP, responded to the judge's order claiming they had "no idea how the misunderstanding occurred, but our understanding is there was no misrepresentation." They attached an affidavit from Jessica Bengels, the staff member who spoke with the clerk earlier in the day, in which she denied misrepresenting her firm affiliation.

    At the hearing, which is scheduled for 10 a.m. on Wednesday, the judge can determine whether to allow or reject the plea deal struck between Biden's lawyers and the DOJ.

Now that the public is allowed to know the truth regarding the Hunter Biden Laptop Scandal, after more that 2 1/2 years of deception by the corrupt Corporate Media Kabal, propropagandidats all, and the discredited Deep State, we have NOW learned that the infamous laptop is far less about the Biden Boy's fetish for pornography, narcotics and Russian whores, and far more about Hunter's pivotal role in the Biden Crime Syndicate's selling of deep access to our foreign adversaries, and to what extent it has compromised our national security: What is your opinion about this possible coordinated Treason?
  It is imperative that we know the truth of what may be the greatest scandal in our Republic's history, and all aforementioned parties prosecuted for their crimes against the People.
  Currently, our Two Tiered Justice System is constructed to protect all Democratic Socialists, their corrupt "Journalist" spokes-sheople, and their Deep State enablers ... so why bother.
  It is Donald Trump's fault.
  How can we be assured that the "Laptop" is real? Would NOT our standard journalists have investigated this issue thoroughly nearly 3 years ago if it was real?

In light of continued developments, primarily since 2008, there exists in these United States a Legal System which operates on a proved Two Tiered approach to justice rendered, which primarily benefits Democratic Elites and Woke Ideological Virtue Signalers, representing their co-dependent wards, to the expressed exclusion of normal hardworking American citizens: What is your suggestion in remedying this widespread injustice and, if not corrected, its existential outcome for our Constitutional Republic?
  Complete overhaul of the Department of Justice and their enforcers - the FBI - to reflect a far more honest justice system to keep patriots remaining calm.
  Disband the FBI, and request that congress investigate all unethical and non patriotic practices to partially right the wrongs of a distrusted and politically weaponized "Department of Justice."
  Continue with the current system since the two tiered justice system has been so remarkably beneficial to Democratic Socialist political hegemony; chronic distrust in institutions notwithstanding.

Understanding that this fragile Republic of the self-governed is in a precarious space in our nation's vast history: What is your honor bound patriotic duty in helping to sustain the continuance of these United States of America?
  I will depend on my Democratic Socialist politicians to continue to march hard toward the Left to provide Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for all who think and do as they are told.
  I will defend the Constitution of the United States of America, and support all elected leaders who pledge to protect and insure the continued sovereignty of this Representative Republic.
  I am very concerned about maintaining my current life style without working. I was told that as long as I vote Democrat, I had nothing to worry about ... but now I worry.

Considering how abjectly corrupt and civilly abusive the Left has become regarding the corrosive effect of their elected leaders; their entrenched and ruling bureaucracy; employing their failed Education Industry as Indoctrinators; their collusive private sector operators, such as the terminally discredited Legacy Media and Big Tech censorship of Free Speech: What will be the best course forward for hardworking Middle Americans, including the Patriot Class?
  Withdraw from society, go underground and plan for a resurgence when it is feasible to do so.
  Work within the confines of better policy by the People's government, once good sense and sanity is restored in the electorate at large, to achieve such.
  Are you a crazy, nut-job Insurrectionist? Everything is perfect within our plan to achieve our intended goals for the Socialist Left.
  Secession to form a true Constitutional Republic.
