Whistleblower testimony reveals that Assistant US Attorney Lesley Wolf shut down all lines of investigation that pointed

And the plea deal Weiss offered the First Son will keep him out of prison on the rest — unless the courts,
as they should , refuse to OK it.

At least as important, whistleblower testimony indicates that one of Weiss’ top aides, Assistant US
Attorney Lesley Wolf, during the Trump years repeatedly shut down all lines of investigation that pointed
toward Joe Biden’s possible involvement as well as interfering with efforts to gather more evidence on
Hunter.

Was Weiss aware of that?

And what’s his explanation for his office’s failure to take up ex-Hunter-partner Tony Bobulinski’s offer to
provide evidence?

When Garland waxes furious over claims that Justice doesn’t “treat like cases alike,” he must be
comparing the Hunter case only to other investigations of top Democrats and their families.

Then again, “you should be used to this reek by now” isn’t much of defense.

Please do not try to talk sense to these people. They are the "alternative facts" folks, who
live in an alternative reality that is only going to come crashing down on them.

There’s no way the court refuses the plea deal. There will be nobody in court making the
rgument not to. Whistleblower testimony will not be entered into evidence. And the US
will be telling the court his half truths, and Hunter’s lawyers will be singing
The fix is in.
