NEW: Hunter Biden Team Used Threat of Joe Biden to Pressure and Coerce the DOJ

In a stunning bit of Saturday evening news, a new report is shedding light on the negotiations that took place between Hunter Biden’s legal team and the DOJ. In late July, the two sides were mere moments away from securing a sweetheart plea deal until Judge Maryellen Noreika started questioning the arrangement.

Things quickly deteriorated after the judge questioned whether there was any precedent for offering broad immunity in the diversion agreement related to Hunter Biden’s gun charge. At the time, one of the questions surrounding the agreement was why the president’s son was being offered pre-trial diversion in the first place.

As some pointed out at the time, any person distributing drugs while being in illegal possession of a firearm is supposed to be charged with a felony. Further, the DOJ is supposed to seek a mandatory minimum of five years in prison as part of “Project Safe Neighborhoods.” Instead, a gun charge that could have brought ten years behind bars was brushed under the rug, with the diversion agreement serving as a vehicle to offer an arguably improper amount of immunity.

Now, we get to the jaw-dropping part of this. According to Politico, which examined previously unknown communications between Hunter Biden’s legal team and the DOJ, there was an actual threat issued to call Joe Biden as a witness if Weiss dared to charge the gun crime in question.

Then he issued a warning: If the Justice Department charged the president’s son, his lawyers would put the president on the witness stand.

“President Biden now unquestionably would be a fact witness for the defense in any criminal trial,” Clark wrote in a 32-page letter reviewed by POLITICO.

According to Hunter Biden’s lawyers, if the DOJ charged Hunter Biden with a gun crime (which was by far the most dangerous for the president’s son as far as possible prison time), they would force Joe Biden to testify and bring about a “constitutional crisis.”
