WHAT HUNTER BIDEN MADE. The government still has not released the original plea agreement between the Justice Department and Hunter Biden, even though it was the subject of three hours of discussion and debate in open court this week. Fortunately, Politico has published a bootleg copy — cellphone photos of a printout of the document — or otherwise, we would not know the lengths to which the DOJ went to accommodate the president’s son.

The major accommodation was the DOJ’s agreement “not to criminally prosecute Biden … for any federal crimes” involving his actions during the period he was not paying his taxes and for which he agreed to plead guilty to two misdemeanor charges. The provision, buried deep inside a side document, “offer[ed] Hunter Biden broad immunity from prosecution, in perpetuity, for a range of matters scrutinized by the Justice Department during its five-year investigation,” in the words of a New York Times report. Such a provision, and the way it was offered, was “totally unprecedented,” said Sol Wisenberg, a former prosecutor with independent counsel Kenneth Starr.
