(51,815 posts)Hunter was trying to settle the financial, tax and gun crimes that were the subject of Weiss' investigation, not piecemeal it. It is very normal to have that expectation when you make a plea deal with a prosecutor.
Where do you get your information? Seriously. Where? You are repeating right wing talking points.
The deal fell through because prosecutors didnt like what people were saying about the deal they approved. That is they made an offer, and later changed their minds due to criticism from Republicans. https://www.vox.com/2023/8/17/23828938/hunter-biden-plea-deal-special-counsel-weiss
The deal remained out of public view until Trump appointee Judge Maryellen Noreikas hearing on it in Delaware on July 26, 2023. Both sides had hoped Noreika would accept the deal, but it turned out she had quite a few questions about it, and proceeded to rip it apart. In public. Then, once Republicans knew what the deal was, they ripped into Weiss, claiming the deal was too easy on Hunter. And that is what killed it.
