Judge Maryellen Noreika, an appointee of former President Donald Trump, put the proceedings on hold as she asked the parties to work out their dispute.

Hunter Biden’s plea hearing on two federal tax misdemeanors Wednesday was thrown into chaos by a last minute disagreement between prosecutors and defense attorneys over a separate deal for a felony gun charge against President Joe Biden’s son, NBC News reported.

 

The 53-year-old Biden initially appeared in U.S. District Court in Wilmington, Delaware, to enter his guilty plea a month after federal prosecutors first revealed the criminal tax charges against him. His attorneys reached a separate pretrial diversion agreement with prosecutors on an unrelated firearms charge, court filings showed.

 

Prosecutors said the agreements on the tax and gun charges were distinct, but during the hearing, Hunter Biden said he wouldn’t agree to plead guilty to the tax charges without the diversion program and dismissal of gun charges, per NBC.

 

Judge Maryellen Noreika, an appointee of former President Donald Trump, put the proceedings on hold as she asked the parties to work out their dispute.

 

More than an hour after the hearing began, the judge called a recess while the two sides decided on whether to hash out their disagreement now or else set a pretrial date for September.

On the eve of the hearing, House Republicans and conservative groups attempted to file briefs urging the judge to consider rejecting the plea agreement, citing allegations from whistleblowers about potential meddling in the case.

To me, Joe doesn't come off particularly well in this situation at all. Waiting for a "green light" from his dissolute son to acknowledge his grandchild? That just strikes me as wrong.

The president has told people close to him that he hopes to eventually meet Hunter Biden’s 4-year-old daughter.

In recent weeks, President Joe Biden realized that his silence was no longer tenable — that it was time for him to publicly recognize his 4-year-old granddaughter caught up in a bitter child support case involving his son Hunter

Biden, people familiar with the matter said.

 

But before he could do so, he wanted to take one final step: getting the "green light" from his son, which he received last week, one source said. And on Friday, Biden finally spoke out about his seventh grandchild whom, for years, he wouldn't so much as acknowledge in public.

 

Now, the president wants to meet little Navy Joan Roberts of Arkansas and dispel the notion that he was ignoring a vulnerable member of the Biden family tree that is at the root of his political identity, according to the people familiar with the matter.

I believe the green light was to PUBLICLY acknowledge the daughter which makes more sense

Even if that's the case, it's just disappointing that Joe couldn't tell Hunter that he's going to publicly acknowledge the child because it's the right thing to do, regardless of the consequences to the paternity case.

Nah. Grandparents should respect their kids wishes as parents and not override them. 

 

this has none of our business written all over it. 

This right here. I know plenty of people who wish/wished their parents would respect their wishes regarding their children/grandchildren, before many ultimately cut the (grand)parents out of their kids lives.

Should the kid have ice cream, sure. Pretend they don't exist, ehhh. Even if just publicly, it should be the mother's call since she's got custody.

Respecting the parent’s wish regardless of custody is what’s important. If you told your parent to not do x, and they went ahead and did x anyway against your wishes, it would probably damage (or further damage) your relationship with your parent. 
 

like, Hunter has a hard enough time dealing with all of his very obvious issues like addiction, legal problems, and being the target of a right wing smear campaign for years on end without his father, the most visible and powerful person on this planet, publicly and openly undermining his wishes in a clearly delicate personal matter

 

and for all the professed unconditional love that Joe has for his son, by far and away his best quality as a person, it would all be just words if he went against his wishes for something that, again, appears to be so clearly delicate and personal to Hunter. And Joe being so high profile absolutely changes the stakes compared to a similar situation that you or I would have.

The difference is Hunter is actively trying to not be a parent. If Hunter was even somewhat involved and didn't want the child in the limelight, completely his call. But him not being involved creates a void where the relationship is now between the mother and the Biden family. If that strains the relationship between Joe and Hunter, so be it, you prioritizes the welfare of the child in accordance with the only active parent's wishes. If the mother wants to stay out of the limelight, her call, but Hunter doesn't get to pull the parent card solely to make Thanksgiving less weird for himself.

Yeah, no. It’s not that simple. Family dynamics are too complicated to make a judgement like this

Attorney General Merrick Garland has appointed Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss as a special counsel in his investigation of President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden

Attorney General Merrick Garland has appointed Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss as a special counsel in his investigation of President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden, Garland announced on Friday.

 

Weiss asked Garland to be appointed special counsel on Tuesday and Garland said he concluded it was in the public interest after considering the request.

 

A senior Department of Justice official told reporters that this is the first time Weiss has asked to be appointed special counsel. Weiss himself has said the same before, pushing back on claims by an IRS whistleblower.

 

"This appointment confirms my commitment to provide Mr. Weiss all the resources he requests," Garland said. "It also reaffirms that Mr. Weiss has the authority he needs to conduct a thorough investigation and to continue to take the steps he deems appropriate in dependently based only on the facts and the law."

 

Garland said Weiss "will continue to have the authority and responsibility that he has previously exercised to oversee the investigation and decide where, when and whether to file charges."

It’s barely even been 30 minutes and the Republican and right-wing consensus is that appointing a special counsel … is Biden and the DOJs attempt to coverup Hunter’s wrongdoing.

 

What's amusing is that David Weiss is a Trump-appointee with impeccable conservative credentials.

No. This isn’t the parents wishes on what time a child can go to bed or if they can have sugar. Deadbeat Parents don’t get to decide if the child can be acknowledged or not, that’s disturbing and disgusting.

 

 

it’s also an attack ad that writes itself. “Family man Joe Biden wouldn’t acknowledge granddaughter”.

That seems to be the Republican SOP; no matter what is done that benefits conservatives, they'll still complain its some conspiracy/plot by the Democrats to undermine them.

Maybe I am just tired but I am chuckling that someone would have the audacity to guillotine this thoughtful post. Like disagree, sure! But guillotine? The fuck?
