President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden will appear in a Delaware courthouse Wednesday to formally agree to the plea deal he negotiated last month with federal prosecutors -- a resolution to a year's long probe that inflamed his father's political adversaries.

The younger Biden in June agreed to plead guilty to a pair of misdemeanor tax charges and enter into a pretrial diversion program that will allow him to avoid prosecution on a separate felony gun charge.

U.S. Judge Maryellen Norieka will have the opportunity to either reject or accept the terms of the deal on Wednesday morning.

Uh huh, it's either a woman or a tranny. You don't need to be Einstein to know which way that's going to fall.

The problem is, say it's rejected and then goes to trial. Would he be convicted of anything? A conviction requires that the prosecution actually do a decent job of arguing it before a jury, and if prosecutors intentionally do a half-assed job then the trial is a farse, full of holes welcoming the defense to exploit, and Hunter walks.

I mean, if they offer him a sweet deal like this, they are clearly too compromised to execute the prosecution. Reminds me of some police abuse cases. They were too often acquitted but how real was the prosecution effort?
