Not only did the arrogant SOB Hunter Biden plead not guilty (as he was expected to plead guilty in his pathetic plea deal), the Judge, Maryellen Noreika “apologized” to the crackhead for some odd reason. Since when do judges apologize to felons? If you weren’t already convinced we are a banana republic, this should erase any more doubts.
Ultimately, Hunter Biden pleaded not guilty because Noreika could not accept the plea deal as it was constructed. She repeatedly expressed her concerns about the constitutionality of the diversion deal related to the felony gun charge, specifying that the main issue with the agreement was that if Hunter breached the deal, the judge would need to make a finding of fact on the matter before the government could bring charges.
Judge Noreika said she saw that as being “outside of my lane,” noting that if the diversion agreement might be unconstitutional, then the entire plea deal would be unconstitutional, meaning that Hunter Biden would not be getting the immunity he thought.
The judge apologized to Hunter Biden near the end of the hearing.
“Mr. Biden, I know you want to get this over with, and I’m sorry,” Noreika said. “But I need to get more information to do Justice as I’m required to do.”
