Hunter Biden's counsel faces possible sanctions after accusations of lying in criminal tax case
Fox News ^ | July 25, 2023 | Andrea Vacchiano , Adam Sabes

Posted on 07/25/2023 8:43:38 PM PDT by Reno89519

The judge presiding over the Hunter Biden criminal case threatened Biden's legal team with sanctions over allegations about lying to the clerk's office.

Hunter Biden's counsel is accused of avoiding proper court procedure to allegedly get information about IRS whistleblowers removed from the docket. Delaware Judge Maryellen Noreika gave Biden's legal team until 9 p.m. on Tuesday to explain their side.

Specifically, a lawyer from Hunter's legal team is accused of misrepresenting who she was when asking to remove amicus materials from the docket. She allegedly called to ask the clerk to seal the information instead of making a formal request to the court.

"The Court has discussed the matter with the relevant individuals in the Clerk's Office and has been informed that the caller, Ms. Jessica Bengels, represented that she worked with Mr. Kittila and requested the amicus materials be taken down because they contained sensitive grand jury, taxpayer and social security information," the order read.

BIDEN'S CLAIM TO HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF HUNTER'S BUSINESS DEALINGS IS BECOMING HARDER TO MAINTAIN

"It appears that the caller misrepresented her identity and who she worked for in an attempt to improperly convince the clerk's office to remove the amicus materials from the docket," the judge added.

"The Court will temporarily place the document under seal until close of business on July 26, 2023 to afford Defendant the opportunity to try to make the requisite showing," the order read. "Should Defendant fail to make that showing, the document will be unsealed in its entirety."

So, Jessica Bengels lie gets the document suppressed through end of tomorrow AFTER the plea deal in court. Maybe the court won't accept the plea deal then, or will turn it down.

About as likely as winning the lottery.

In a normal and just world, Jessica Bengels would be disbarred and charged with contempt of court for pulling this stupid prank. But under our two-tiered justice system, she will probably get away with it and succeed in suppressing the documents in question, and Hunter will skate.

Put her in a Cell with a Hunter Biden painting adorning the wall.

She’ll talk faster than Joe shuffling towards a young girl in a bathing suit.

Fraud, not prank.

This violates everything a lawyer swears to when taking the oath. This is grounds for disbarment and heavy fines.

Isn’t he the one smoking a Bong on the balcony with his ‘client’ Hunter Biden inside the apartment? Seems to me like he should be facing sanctions from the California Bar Association but, hey, maybe that’s just being a good little leftist officer of the court there.

“[A]t approximately 1:30 p.m., we received word that our filing was removed from the docket,” Kittila said. “We promptly contacted the Clerk’s office, and we were advised that someone contacted the Court representing that they worked with my office [emphasis original] and that they were asking the Court to remove this from the docket. We immediately advised that this was inaccurate. The Clerk’s Office responded that we would need to re-file. We have done so now.”

Nonprofit Marco Polo put emails from Hunter’s laptop online
and wrote a 630-page report summarizing its contents.

<><>MP famously said that judges are not obligated to accept plea deals
even if prosecutors and the defendant agree on them.
<><>that the plea deal, if accepted, makes a mockery of the phrase ‘slap on the wrist,’
<><>it will also send a sobering message that nepotism and proximity to political power determines outcomes in our criminal justice system.

MP found evidence for, at the very least, 459 violations of
state and federal laws and regulations on Hunter’s device as follows:
<><>140 business-related crimes,
<><>191 sex-related crimes,
<><>128 drug-related crimes.

These instances of criminal wrongdoing are supported by primary source evidence: emails, photos, videos, text messages, audio files, et al.


The plea deal for consideration is so meager that the phrase ‘limited hangout’ does not describe the situation.”

A “limited hangout” is a public relations technique in which someone who wants to cover up something major admits to a very small portion in order to claim that the issue has been put to rest.

Hunter Biden’s lawyer accused of deception
Schemed to seal bid in order to block release of damning evidence
Evidence would have blocked issuance of Hunter’s sweetheart plea deal
Washington Post ^ | 7/25/2023 | Samuel Chamberlin
Posted on 7/25/2023, 8:29:40 PM by peggybac

Hunter Biden’s legal team was accused of pulling a dirty trick late Tuesday to block the release of damning evidence ahead of his pending sweetheart plea deal

Charges of favoritism and nepotism surfaced b/c Hunter’s guilty plea to federal charges of tax evasion and a weapons crime got him off scot-free.

The drama began in the morning when the House Ways and Means Committee filed an amicus brief to Delaware US District Judge Maryellen Noreika arguing that the 53-year-old had benefited from “political interference which calls into question the propriety of the investigation” into alleged crimes including money laundering, felony tax evasion and failure to register as a foreign agent.

The filing included testimony by two IRS whistleblowers who sat for transcribed interviews May 26 and June 1.

What happened next was outlined in a letter sent to the judge Tuesday afternoon by the committee’s top lawyer, Theodore Kittila.

<><>“[A]t approximately 1:30 p.m., we received word that our filing was removed from the docket.
<><>We promptly contacted the Clerk’s office,
<><>we were advised that “someone” contacted the Court representing that they worked with my office
<><>they were asking the Court to remove the damning evidence from the docket.
<><>We immediately advised that this was inaccurate.
<><>The Clerk’s Office responded that we would need to re-file.
<><>We have done so now.”

Jessica Bengels (Hunter’s law firm) produced a sworn affidavit which throws the court clerks under the bus.
