So much for the claims of the “sweetheart” deal…..

It appears that Hunter’s counsel tried to pull a fast one — twice. First, yesterday the Clerk of the Court claims that Hunter’s counsel attempted to get a filing pulled through misrepresenting that they were the counsel of the people who filed it. They now claim that was a “misunderstanding” but it got the judge royally pissed off, and with good reason. The filing in question came as an Amicus from Congress, so there is likely some further inquiry headed in the direction of said “counsel” from that general direction as well.

But then today the hearing fell apart. It appears that Hunter’s counsel tried to get on the record that the “scope” of the deal was that this was basically over for Hunter. The DOJ was having nothing to do with that and stated that the investigation is not closed but refused to specify what other areas of concern and potential charges might be out there including possible FARA violations, which can be (if willful, and this quite clearly would be) serious stuff — a 5 year felony, to be specific.
