George Washington University Law School professor Jonathan Turley persuasively argued the Biden Justice Department was being too cute by half when prosecutors crafted a very lenient plea deal for Hunter Biden.
The deal appeared to come together quickly in June as the GOP-controlled House Oversight Committee's hearings into Biden's overseas business dealings continued to heat up.
The deal fell through Wednesday when U.S. District Court Judge Maryellen Noreika called into question the blanket immunity from future prosecution that Biden's attorneys believed the agreement involved.

Biden then withdrew from the plea deal and pleaded not guilty to the crimes.
That's what Biden's attorneys thought they had that all matters related to his overseas business dealing are exempt from further prosecution.
So they're trying to have it both ways: protect Biden from future criminal charges from past overseas business deals and protect the Biden family from damaging information coming out through Congress.
