A good, although bit long, explanation how Hunter Biden’s plea deal fell apart:
“Will Scharf
@willscharf
Based on conversations with people who were in the courtroom today, and my experience as a former federal prosecutor, I think I know the full story of what happened with the Hunter Biden plea agreement blow-up this morning.
Bear with me, because this is a little complicated:
Typically, if the Government is offering to a defendant that it will either drop charges or decline to bring new charges in return for the defendant’s guilty plea, the plea is structured under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 11(c)(1)(A). An agreement not to prosecute Hunter for FARA violations or other crimes in return for his pleading guilty to the tax misdemeanors, for example, would usually be a (c)(1)(A) plea. This is open, transparent, subject to judicial approval, etc.
In Hunter’s case, according to what folks in the courtroom have told me, Hunter’s plea was structured under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 11(c)(1)(B), which is usually just a plea in return for a joint sentencing recommendation only, and contained no information on its face about other potential charges, and contained no clear agreement by DOJ to forego prosecution of other charges.
Instead, DOJ and Hunter’s lawyers effectively hid that part of the agreement in what was publicly described as a pretrial diversion agreement relating to a § 922(g)(3) gun charge against Hunter for being a drug user in possession of a firearm.
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.
So they put the facts in the plea agreement, but put their non-prosecution agreement in the pretrial diversion agreement, effectively hiding the full scope of what DOJ was offering and Hunter was obtaining through these proceedings. Hunter’s upside from this deal was vast immunity from further prosecution if he finished a couple years of probation, and the public wouldn’t be any the wiser because none of this was clearly stated on the face of the plea agreement, as would normally be the case.
Judge Noreika smelled a rat. She understood that the lawyers were trying to paint her into a corner and hide the ball. Instead, she backed DOJ and Hunter’s lawyers into a corner by pulling all the details out into the open and then indicating that she wasn’t going to approve a deal as broad as what she had discovered.
DOJ, attempting to save face and save its case, then stated on the record that the investigation into Hunter was ongoing and that Hunter remained susceptible to prosecution under FARA. Hunter’s lawyers exploded. They clearly believed that FARA was covered under the deal, because as written, the pretrial diversion agreement language was broad enough to cover it. They blew up the deal, Hunter pled not guilty, and that’s the current state of play.
And so here we are. Hunter’s lawyers and DOJ are going to go off and try to pull together a new set of agreements, likely narrower, to satisfy Judge Noreika. Fortunately, I doubt if FARA or any charges related to Hunter’s foreign influence peddling will be included, which leaves open the possibility of further investigations leading to further prosecutions.”

If anyone wants to buy a Tesla, don’t believe the driving range claims. Frankly the same goes for other electric cars.
“Tesla years ago began exaggerating its vehicles’ potential driving distance – by rigging their range-estimating software. The company decided about a decade ago, for marketing purposes, to write algorithms for its range meter that would show drivers “rosy” projections for the distance it could travel on a full battery, according to a person familiar with an early design of the software for its in-dash readouts.
Then, when the battery fell below 50% of its maximum charge, the algorithm would show drivers more realistic projections for their remaining driving range, this person said. To prevent drivers from getting stranded as their predicted range started declining more quickly, Teslas were designed with a “safety buffer,” allowing about 15 miles (24 km) of additional range even after the dash readout showed an empty battery, the source said.
The directive to present the optimistic range estimates came from Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk, this person said.
“Elon wanted to show good range numbers when fully charged,” the person said, adding: “When you buy a car off the lot seeing 350-mile, 400-mile range, it makes you feel good.”
Tesla’s intentional inflation of in-dash range-meter projections and the creation of its range-complaints diversion team have not been previously reported.”

I tuned into the PA rally this afternoon, once everyone had passed thru the tight security and the rally had begun. The 9000+ stadium appeared to be jammed and at full lcapacity with people. This was unlike an earlier photo and estimate given by JeffP earlier in the day. Also, the night before, at the Iowa event, Trump’s hospitality area, set up for each speaker following their speeches, had Trump personally doing a greet-and-meet with people coming from a line stretching far longer than anyone else.
Finally, I am not shaken by Trump using some of his fund-raising money for the cost of him doing business – IOW legal fees. With all the grief being thrown at the man, those funds will hopefully protect his ability to remain in the race. In the meantime DeSantis has had a little blow back from those saying he is commingling monies designated for his primary vs the GE on private airplane flights.

The emails claimed the ‘Left-wing mob was undermining the election,’ implored supporters to, ‘Step up to protect’ the integrity of the election, and encourage them to, ‘Fight back.’

According to CBS, the Republican Party in Massachusetts is now proposing a similar change to their distribution of delegates in the 2024 primary election in order to help support the non-Trump corporate approved candidate, likely Ron DeSantis.
Before getting to the CBS report, it is worthwhile remembering none of this is without precedent. Factually, when the RNC -a private corporation- first constructed the roadmap for Jeb Bush at their winter meeting (December 2014), the state of Florida was the key. Prior to the Trump entry, Florida changed their primary date for 2016 and aligned to deliver a winner take all distribution as part of the Jeb roadmap. Marco Rubio was designed to deliver an endorsement and then skyrocket Jeb through the remaining states.
The people who organize and control the RNC Club never forgave Donald Trump for upsetting their 2016 “illusion of choice” system. Everything thereafter has been a Big Club operation to counterattack that takeover. What we witnessed in the past seven years and what we witness today, all stems from that initial thundershock
Most candidates have their red flags. JeffP is armed with all kinds of negative tweets and accusations regarding Trump. However, what casts shadows around DeSantis are his tight political associations with highly visible anti trump establishment republicans such as Jed Bush and Paul Ryan.

There are states where the professional [GOPe] republican grip is tight, and there are states where the MAGA insurgency has gained strength loosening that corporate club grip. Georgia is a state where the party apparatus is gripping the reins tight and not willing to let the populist movement impede their professional political stranglehold.
Governor Brian Kemp is to Georgia in 2024 as Govenor Haley Barbour was to Mississippi previously. Kemp controls the party machinery and Kemp has always despised the popular support for Donald Trump, an unacceptable republican in the eyes of the party apparatus. It is not coincidental that Sea Island Georgia is the epicenter of the Wall Street assembly against the populist insurgency. Georgia is a battleground state for Republican power and control.
I’m not going to repeat the examples of the Sea Island reference points, the Mike Pence rally to support Kemp, George W Bush rallying support for Kemp, the intentional non requests for Trump ’22 campaigning, True the Vote’s Catherine Englebrecht documenting the systemic vote system corruption by Georgia Republican Governor Brian Kemp and his entire administration, or the MSM push to use Kemp as an example of a Trump slayer.

Agree Phil, running a campaign, beleaguered by political smears and legal bills, is a big disadvantage for a candidate. However, that’s the primary goal of the anti Trump, establishment republicans, leftist democrats to neutralize Trump, if not take him out altogether. I’m frankly surprised DJT has not only been able to hold his own during this unprecedented onslaught of negativity, but has even risen higher in his ranking with the populous, outstripping his opponents more and more, each day.
I’m kind of mesmerized by this inverse reaction in today’s political climate. This morning, throughout various news programming, people were scratching their head over the weekend polling showing a consistent lead by trump over everyone else. Despite DeSantis retooling his campaign, giving stronger speeches mostly mouthing his biggest opponent’s policies, he continues to slip downward. At the same time there is an increasing tension within the elite fractions to retrofit election policies, laws, keep questionable software in voting machines etc. in order to find any “legal” gimmick that can undermine Trump. What seems to keep Trump afloat, though, are “the people,” the commoners who are snidely called “cultists,” by those typically wanting ABT. However, if anyone ever listened to those waiting in line for one of his events, the reasons for liking him is they see him as an ally, someone who keeps promises, has their back and best interests at heart.
Finally, this morning the movie “Braveheart” came to mind, in how one individual can galvanize a loyal following into a movement capable of turning the tables on a government people no longer trust. Mel Gibson starred in that movie, later on produced “The Passion of Christ,” – a world wide phenomena where religious movies usually fail. Now there is the “Sound of Freedom” film that was given the thumbs down treatment by the elite, but has gone on to be super successful, primarily on the shoulders of the “deplorables,” carried even further by Trump’s private screening of it at Mar a Largo. Going the opposite direction from consensus thinking, the Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney “cult” is the road less traveled that Trump has taken – one resonating with regular people not the establishment.

10 Reasons I am bigly against Trump.
1. He is a habitual liar.
2. He is damaging the true conservative movement in the GOP.
3. He is not a effective leader. 40 out of 44 cabinet members don’t support him.
4. He craves the approval of our enemies Putin, XI, Etc…
5. He is no moral character.
6. He hired Chris Wray when the FBI ended a house cleaning.
7. He added 8.2 Trillion to our national debt in 4 years which matched Obama in 8 years. He is a major reason for our inflation.
8. He hired Bill Barr when the DOJ needed a house cleaning.
9. He allowed Fauci to destroy our liberties and was too afraid to fire his ass.
10. He failed to secure the border.”

Heh, JeffP is already shilling for Biden and is here faster than a maggot on roadkill to regurgitate the MSNBC talking points.
But not so fast..
“But former FBI official Chris Swecker, who led the bureau’s criminal investigations division from 2004 to 2006, said that things didn’t look good for President Biden, noting the many alleged speakerphone calls.
“As head of the criminal division, we saw this quite a bit in bribery cases, it’s called stream of services,” Swecker told Fox News as Archer left Capitol Hill.
“You sell access or something of value and you get something back in return, but it’s not an express quid pro quo. It’s just an understanding, but if you can match up the services within a reasonable period of time — with the thing of benefit, in this case, $10 million, or whatever it is — then you then you have bribery,” Swecker said.”

JeffP is here dutifully shilling for the Bidens.
Why?
Because he thinks that somehow proving the Bidens were running an access operation (the “Brand”) would be good for Trump.
So he gives the Bidens a pass because otherwise Trump might somehow, somewhere, sometime have a benefit of some kind.
And JeffP has the balls to comment on someone else’s “lack of of moral character”. I guess he doesn’t own a mirror

The Devon Archer Testimony
SASHA STONE
JUL 31
Miranda Divine, who has been breaking the story on Joe and Hunter Biden, gives an update on today’s testimony by Devon Archer (whose name sounds like a character in a suspense novel):
Miranda Divine already reported this story in the New York Post on July 23.
Means: Joe Biden as a career politician who has been in government since the age of 30.
Motive: Unlike Barack and Michelle Obama, or even Hillary and Bill Clinton, there is no path to wealth for Joe Biden.
Opportunity: His son was willing to get the dirty job done.
Page One of today’s New York Times — all Trump all the time. No mention of Biden or Devon Archer.

“Twenty-two days after Moscow canceled a deal with Kyiv—which had allowed Ukraine safely to export tens of millions of tons of grain—and then threatened to halt maritime traffic to Ukrainian ports, the world has called the Russians’ bluff.
“Reports of three civilian ships sailing to Ukraine unhindered may suggest that Russia is either unwilling or unable to enforce such searches at this time,” the Institute for the Study of War in Washington, D.C. noted.
A flock of NATO aircraft carefully monitored the ships as they sailed toward Izmail, a small Ukrainian port just across from Romania on the Danube River. The vessels presumably will load grain in Izmail then sail back into the Black Sea and onward to foreign ports.”
