Pretty detailed explanation here of what happened with the attempted plea deal, and why it blew up:
That pretrial diversion agreement as written was actually MUCH broader than just the gun charge. If Hunter were to complete probation, the pretrial diversion agreement prevented DOJ from ever bringing charges against Hunter for any crimes relating to the offense conduct discussed in the plea agreement, which was purposely written to include his foreign influence peddling operations in China and elsewhere.
Wow!
I think if the actual plea agreement is published, I don't know how the Democrats in congress and the corporate media don't get laughed into oblivion.
