Flotsam and Jetsam - Hunter Biden Guilty

After taking yesterday off, I'm just drowning in links, I hardly know where to start, so let's just go to the Biden crime family. 

Fresh from WaPoo, Hunter Biden reaches deal to plead guilty in tax, gun case "The president’s son would get about two years probation and enter a diversion program, people familiar with the negotiations said." No felony charges. Can a pardon be in the works?

President Biden’s son Hunter has reached a tentative agreement with federal prosecutors to plead guilty to two minor tax crimes and admit to the facts of a gun charge under terms that would likely keep him out of jail, according to court papers filed Tuesday.

Any proposed plea deal would have to be approved by a federal judge. Both the prosecutors and the defense counsel have requested a court hearing at which Hunter Biden, 53, can enter his plea.

From the Free Bacon, ‘Whatever You Need’: How Hunter Biden Helped the CCP’s Premier Influence Group Gain a US Foothold, "Emails reveal how Hunter got Obama to officially recognize partnership." PJMs Kevin Downey thinks The Bidens Are About to Get 'Harvey Weinstein-ed,' and Here Are Joe's 'Secret Audio Bribery Tapes' You've Been Dying to Hear! "Everyone knew Harvey Weinstein was a pig and no one said a word…Until one person started talking about it…Soon everyone was talking about it…Then cops had no choice but to stop playing dumb and arrest him." At HE, Corrupt news media can’t save Biden from Ukrainian bribery scandal, but they're more than willing to shred any remaining credibility in their effort to do so. Matt Margolis wonders, Gee, How Did More Than $10 Million End Up in Biden’s Bank Account? At Da Wire, Dan Chaitin reports Comer Plans To Bring In ‘Key Witnesses’ In Biden Family Probe.  From the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 06.19.23, at Twitchy,  Sen.

At Twitchy, Senator Kennedy Schools Durbin on Biden Bribery Allegations.

Breitbart highlights a Harvard Poll: Most Voters Say Trump Indictment Is Election Interference, Believe He’ll Be Acquitted. Jonathan Turley, Harvard Poll: 55 Percent of the Public View the Trump Indictment as “Politically Motivated.” "The Justice Department and the media appear to have “lost the room” with the American people. They are primarily appealing to Democrats who (at 80%) support the indictment." At Town Hall Paul Kamenar explains Why Special Counsel Jack Smith Is Unlawful. At NYPo Jon Levine reports the Top Trump prosecutor Karen Gilbert has checkered past: ‘Sorry sack of lies’, witness tampering. “I have no reason to believe that she will behave ethically in any circumstance,” he said. “I do not find it appropriate for her to still be employed by the Department Previous Target of DOJ’s of Justice.” Cathy Salgado at PJ Media, Trump Legal Hit Squad Alleges Witness Payoff Scheme

William Sullivan at Am Think thinks we're Beyond a Banana Republic.  Breitbart reports Bill Barr reports Trump Will Likely Be Indicted on January 6 Case this Summer "I think the January 6 case will be a hard case to make because of First Amendment interest. But I am actually beginning to think they will pull the trigger on that. I would expect it to be this summer.” They don't really care whether it sticks, as long as they can stick it to Trump as long as possible. They're not playing with they're money, they're playing with ours. What Am Think's David Zukerman thinks about The real William Barr (not good). At Da Wire, Asa Hutchinson Says GOP Should ‘Back Off’ Claim That DOJ Has Been Weaponized Against Trump. FU and the horse you rode in on. At Am Great Roger Kimball worries about Tearing Apart the Governing Consensus. "A victory for the administrative state in the war on Donald Trump won’t be a victory for the rule of law."

The New Neo likes Dershowitz on that anti-Trump-lawyer group The 65 Project. "For decades, the left screeched about McCarthyism. They got a lot of mileage out of that, but in reality their main objection seems to have been that they were the targets rather than the ones behind the threats." Hat Hair's Dave Strom says This kind of lawfare is evil.

A quartet from sundance at CTH, The Deep State Document Hunt Against Donald Trump in Context, Apparently, President Trump is Aware of Lisa Monaco’s Purpose, Same Magistrate Judge That Authorized FBI Mar-a-Lago Raid Now Limits Trump Public Defense Against Secret FBI Evidence and President Trump Interview With Fox News Brett Baier (video). Regarding the last, Capt. Ed at Hat Hair wonders Did Trump just admit to obstruction -- on national television? 

This Ain’t Hell: When a politician tries to give proper journalism hints to a reporter regarding classified documents. Virginia Kruta at Da Wire want you to WATCH: Democrat Corrects Herself After Saying Trump Should Be Shot. "Plaskett made the comment during an appearance on MSNBC, during which she discussed the federal charges against Trump relating to his alleged mishandling of classified documents following his departure from the White House in January of 2021."

WaPoo whines (extensively)  FBI resisted opening probe into Trump’s role in Jan. 6 for more than a year "In the DOJ’s investigation of Jan. 6, key Justice officials also quashed an early plan for a task force focused on people in Trump’s orbit" HE, Jan. 6 Prisoner Down 30 Pounds on Hunger Strike: Those Who Know Him Share Their Thoughts. "“His hunger strike is about releasing the videos. We all know that if all the videos were released that there would be no case against most of the prisoners. In some videos of the protesters, it’s debatable if they were actual protesters or plants. But there were people being violent against the police, and Larry stopped them." On Da Hill Jonathan Turley writes of The utter failure of Merrick Garland. "Merrick Garland began his tenure as attorney general with the stated intention of restoring faith in the Justice Department and the rule of law. By that standard, Garland has been a failure. In fact, if anything, the crisis of faith surrounding his department has only deepened on his watch, and he bears some of the blame."

At PM, IRS used false name to obtain entry into taxpayer's Ohio home to demand payment. "A press release from the Judiciary Committee reveals that an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agent visited an Ohio taxpayer's residence under a fake name in order to gain entry to their home on April 25, 2023." At Da Wire, Missionary Held Hostage By Islamic Extremists For Over 6 Years Says FBI Withheld Info, Misled Wife. 

At the Con Brief has a poll Tucker Carlson Most Popular Individual Americans Follow For News. Bob Hoge at Town Hall cites a Tucker Biographer: Fox Staffers Jumping Ship to Work with Carlson. Chadwick Moore@Chadwick_Moore "My sources have now told me *NINE* former Tucker Carlson Tonight staffers have left Fox News to join Tucker on his next venture. There are others who are waiting to leave as soon as a role opens up for them with Tucker. Each of the 9 approached Tucker, not the other way around." "Moore believes “Chyron Guy” might be one of those joining forces with Carlson, who, until his departure from Fox, pulled in the highest ratings of any cable news show." Sarah Weaver at Da Caller reports on how Fox News Encourages Employees To Read ‘Gay Erotica,’ Support Pro-Child Castration Groups, In Leaked Docs. 

The Free Bacon does a Fact Check: Nearly 100 Percent of Political Contributions From Fact Checkers Go to Democrats. "Free Beacon review of federal disclosures contradict claims of neutrality from top fact-checking operations." I'm shocked, shocked. Hat Hair's Jazz Shaw reports on how YouTube jumps on the RFK trans censorship bandwagon
