Hunter Biden's plea deal has appeared to collapse in a stunning turn of events in a federal court in Delaware.
The president's scandal-hit son has said 'yes, your honor' when asked by the judge if he was going to plead guilty, and admitted he's been to rehab six times in 20 years for addiction to drinking and drugs.
But then the judge demanded a recess when an agreement between prosecutors and attorneys for the president's son appeared to fall apart.
He said he was first treated for alcohol abuse in 2003 and was last in an in-patient facility in 2018, but insisted he's been sober since 2019 when warned he faces random drug testing under the conditions of his release.
Prosecutors recommended probation for Hunter for not paying between $1.1 million and $1.5 million in federal taxes in 2017 and 2018, despite his substantial income from Ukrainian and Chinese energy companies.
They also scolded him for continuing to 'spend wildly' on his lavish lifestyle while he had the funds to pay back what he owed.
Hunter could have faced up to 12 months in prison for the tax crimes, and ten years for lying about his crack cocaine addiction on a federal form when buying a gun.

BIDENSKYYYY COVERUP!
Ain’t collapsed til it’s collapsed...
But we’ve had to eat so many s### sandwiches, seeing Hunter’s get out of jail free card cancelled would be highly satisfying.
No plea deal? Then go to trial.
The that's what his sentence should be.
They are in RECESS!! It has NOT TOTALLY FALLEN APART!
No matter what happens...Joe and Jill are proud parents of their little boy. They'll probably tell you that on the evening news.
Crackbuki theater
.
There’s a recess.
Not over.
There was a Judge in Arkansas that told Hunter’s team to get in line, you’re going to be treated like the other defendant in Court.
A week later, in a highly unusual move, he quietly filed papers to remove himself from the case without explanation.

START PRAYING!!!
They need to get their stories straight in the back room
“The president’s scandal-hit son...”
“scandal-hit”??
How about “scandalous low-life”?
Apparently Hunter wants a better deal. This is getting surreal. I would be embarrassed to be part of this charade.
Looks like judge was concerned about future case (double jeopardy)
Maybe the judge required an on the spot drug test? That’s what I would do.
Maybe there is some hope there is at least one judge left in this country that is not corrupt. Then again, maybe not.

None of this matters. When the dust settles, the Big Guy will pardon him.
They charged Paul Manafort with that. You know Hunter never registered as a foreign agent with the State Department, because the Biden Crime Family needed to keep their foreign business dealings a secret.
Section 3 Treason
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
The ‘Travis Translation’ of Article 3, Section 3:
Treason, or betraying the United States, is making war against the United States, or being loyal to an enemy of the United States, or giving that enemy help or comfort. Nobody can be found guilty of treason unless two people describe the same obvious act of treason in open court, or unless the accused person says in open court that she/he did it.
Congress decides how to punish treason. If someone is guilty of treason, their family cannot be punished. The disgrace of the traitor, and any fines they owe, will go with them to their death, but not past that.
This clause is unique in that, unlike many of the other general constitutional provisions relating to criminal law, this clause is quite specific. It defines the crime of treason, and enshrines it in the Constitution. This both serves to impress the gravity of the offense, as well as ensure that its parameters are anything but unclear.
The definition here works to set the American definition of treason apart from the earlier British version. According to British law, there were several different actions that could be defined as treason, many relating to Kings and Queens. Here, the Constitution narrowed the scope of treason to two offenses: waging war against the United States, or helping an enemy of the United States. Additionally, under British law, treason was such a terrible crime, that the convicted traitor’s property could not even pass to his or her heirs upon death (and any money owed by the traitor would remain the obligation of heirs). The United States Constitution undid this as well. The punishment of the traitor ends at death, and goes no further.
