Is Hunter Biden's plea deal in danger? John Ratcliffe thinks it might be

If former DNI John Ratcliffe is right, who appeared on Trey Gowdy's Sunday Night in America program, the judge in this case might reject the deal. Ratcliffe said "the judge in this case shouldn't accept the plea because, as you know, judges are required to look at all of the defendant's conduct. In this case, you start with some of that conduct being on videotape and showing felony possession of a firearm while using a controlled substance. That's a felony that carries a maximum penalty of 10 years and depending on who you talk to, the judge is probably going to be aware that either never in the history of the Department of Justice or rarely in the history of the Department of Justice has that resulted in a misdemeanor with pretrial diversion."

Ratcliffe continued, saying "But even if you get past all that, Trey, the judge is going to be aware of all that, uh, is going to be aware of whistleblower testimony that the very prosecutors in this case, according to the whistleblowers, did more than exercise more than prosecutorial discretion. They obstructed parts of this investigation, including shutting down an investigation into a WhatsApp text message text message that shows that the vice president's son and possibly the vice president, threatened a Chinese businessman with ties to the Chinese Communist Party and received a $5,000,000 payment 2 days later. So based on all that, I'd be surprised if, on all that, I'd be disappointed if a judge would accept a plea in this case."

It's important to remember that Ratcliffe isn't just the former DNI but a former federal prosecutor, too. Ratcliffe isn't some wet-behind-the-ears prosecutor, either. He had a pretty sterling record, too. Check out the entire interview here:

It's time for Hunter's life to experience some turbulence. The median sentence length for a felony gun charge is 3.69 years. Hunter's gift of a plea deal contains no jail time. Merrick Garland said that Hunter wasn't treated any different than anyone else. That's a bald-faced lie. The only reason it isn't perjury is because he said it at a press conference microphone, not in a hearing room while under oath.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Image
Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
