Our justice system has been weaponized based on ideology. Merrick Garland came in as an ideologue and inculcated that culture throughout the Department of Justice. All of these policies, written and unwritten, are going to have to be reversed. This is the most dangerous thing that could possibly happen when you have the awesome powers of the federal government. It will take a lot of hard work to fix the DOJ.
With consideration to the Supreme Court's recent rulings, Jack Smith tried to recalibrate his prosecution of Donald Trump with a superseding indictment. These rulings really gutted Jack Smith's case and it's much weaker now than when we started. This case will eventually fall on its face even though the Judge and prosecution are determined to bring it to trial.
Hunter's tax trial would have opened up the Biden's business dealings to the nation 60 days before the election. There is no way we get to January 20th and Hunter Biden is facing prison time, Joe will pardon Hunter.
Hunter Biden has pled guilty to all charges in his tax case. The testimony that Hunter would have had to give would have outlined the entire Biden business practices. I believe the Biden family decided that it would be easier to eat all the charges and likely have Joe Biden give some sort of clemency to Hunter after the election.
Donald Trump's appeal to the federal court is important from a legal standpoint. The hope is that the Southern District of New York will take the case and offer a fair hearing. A removal to a federal court is not unusual and some of the charges are in fact federal.
Hunter Biden's tax trial begins this week. We know so much about this case because of IRS whistleblowers coming forward and shared inside the room decision making. Chargers were allowed to lapse due to statute of limitations and the most serious charges were never allowed to be considered. There's a lot that we don't have visibility into, but I don't expect Hunter to end up with years in federal prison.
