    Hunter Biden pleaded not guilty to alleged tax crimes in a stunning reversal in federal court on Wednesday after a plea deal his lawyers reached with prosecutors stalled in court.

    The proposed deal involved Hunter pleading guilty to two misdemeanor tax counts of willful failure to pay federal income tax and entering a diversion program in lieu of pleading guilty to a felony gun charge.

    U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika, a Trump nominee, said that she could not accept the plea deal in its current form. "I cannot accept the plea agreement today," she said.

    "These agreements are not straightforward and they contain atypical provisions," she said. "I'm not in a position where I can decide to accept or reject a plea agreement and I need to defer it."

    The deal hit a snag when Noreika asked federal prosecutor Leo Wise whether there was an ongoing criminal investigation into Hunter.

    "There is," Wise responded, noting that he could not give further details.

    When Noreika asked if the ongoing criminal investigation could result in the DOJ potentially bringing charges related to the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), Wise responded, "Yes."

    Defense attorney Chris Clark said that he believed that the plea deal had closed the door on the possibility that any additional charges would be brought. "As far as I'm concerned, the plea agreement is null and void," he said.

    Hunter Biden reportedly hired new attorneys recently who "specialize in FARA and Foreign Corrupt Practices Act cases," according to investigative reporter Chuck Ross.

Considering that the 2024 Presidential Election has fully begun, and the Biden Administration has consequently fully weaponized the Biden DOJ /FBI to attack all political opponents under the penalty of felonious judgement for many of the same alleged crimes, or worse, committed by Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden himself: Are you comfortable with this level of overt corruption within the Executive Branch?

  Yes; if Democratic Socialists are to complete the remaking of this "Democracy," the End will Always Justify the Means.

  No; in a Constitutional Republic, the Rule of Law is paramount, which means the law MUST be administered evenly

  Who cares; I am just so ambivalent to all this grown-up stuff.

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.
