🧵 THREAD - Two systems of justice.

1/5

Judge Noreika asked USAtty––five times––if there was any precedent for such a one-sided plea agreement, like he gave to Hunter. He said no all five times and even admitted, "this was crafted to suit the facts and circumstances."

🧵 2/5 - Judge Noreika had never seen the type of agreement "Not to Prosecute" like the one she was being asked to sign off on. There was and is no precedent for @USAttyWeiss to give Hunter Biden such special treatment while strictly enforcing the law on everyone else.

🧵3/5 - Hunter gets a lifetime "Get Out of Jail Free Card" from @USAttyWeiss.

JUDGE: "Do you have any precedent for agreeing not to prosecute crimes that have nothing to do with the case or the charges being diverted?"

U.S. ATTY: " I am not aware of any, Your Honor."

🧵4/5 - For agreeing to plead guilty to misdemeanors and no jail time, the DOJ agreed never to prosecute Hunter again for the rest of his life. The actions taken by the @DOJCrimDiv and @USAttyWeiss are an insult to every other citizen.

🧵 5/5 - In fact, Judge Noreika was so surprised by the plea and diversion agreements, that she questioned their constitutionality and what role she would play going forward. It appears that @USAttyWeiss rigged the outcome for Hunter. Are you still a prosecutor, Mr. Weiss?

ADD-ON: 🧵 6/8.
These are from the U.S. Attorney's Criminal Tax Case Procedures Manual. It directs @USAttyWeiss to do the exact opposite of what he did in the Hunter Biden case. @Jim_Jordan - Please ask what is the reason he deviated from his training and policy directives?

🧵7/8 When @USAttyWeiss prosecutes people not named Biden, he says:
"General deterrence is primary consideration. A sentence of incarceration for tax cheats helps promote respect for the law and deter others. ... Guidelines reference need for sentences in tax cases to deter."

🧵 8/8 Who is @USAttyWeiss referring to here? If this does not apply to Hunter Biden, I cannot imagine a case that does. He added "This case, quite simply, is one many people are watching. A term of imprisonment will send a strong message...and deter others from acting the same.
