I always love these behavior and body language “experts”.  Interesting profession that cannot be verified, but the Democrats love that.

[Dashinka 24,505]

This was much more accurate on FoxNews.

Yep, it is sad when one is fired for telling the truth.  I understand he may find employment with Tucker Carlson.

I heard a commentator (Clay & Buck?  Hannity?) say that Federal trials have to occur within a certain time frame.

Hunter listened to his attorney and took a plea. 
Donald did not.
 

 

It's mine": Trump rejected own lawyers' advice to avoid criminal charges — and it badly backfired

Seven Trump advisers told the outlet that Trump "misled his own advisers," insisting that the boxes he took only contained newspaper clippings and personal items, and repeatedly refused to give the documents back, "even when some of his longest-serving advisers warned of peril and some flew to Mar-a-Lago to beg him to return them."

Last fall, Trump hired former Florida Solicitor General Chris Kise to represent him in the documents case, paying him a $3 million retainer. Kise wanted to quietly approach the Justice Department to try to negotiate a deal to avoid charges and "take the temperature down" by returning all of the documents

Trump ignored his legal team's advice to settle the classified documents case. Instead, he listened to a conservative activist

Former President Donald Trump rejected his legal team's proposal to try to settle the classified documents case with the Justice Department — and instead took the advice of a conservative activist who urged him to fight, according to a new report

Hunter should have never been offered a deal on the gun charge, and to my knowledge I am not aware of any plea bargains being offered to Trump.  Besides, I think Trump is doing this for the attention and to show the sad political state of the DOJ as evident by how they treated Hunter.  I do wonder how Wesley Snipes feels.

In any given year, 98% of criminal cases in the federal courts end with a plea bargain — a practice that prizes efficiency over fairness and innocence, according to a new report from the American Bar Association.

It is just how it is done in the US, pleas for almost all.

Hmm…relieved ?
 

At the time, Snipes argued the IRS was an illegitimate government agency and cited an obscure section of the tax code that establishes that foreign sources of income for U.S. citizens are taxable. He also claimed he was a non-resident alien. Snipes was born in the U.S. in 1962, however

He owed the government about $7 million in unpaid taxes after accepting the arguments of his two co-defendants, an accountant and an anti-tax ideologue.

Efficiency?  How many years did it take for the politicized DOJ to come up with the Hunter Biden plea deal?  Also, there is nothing wrong with plea deals, the stats are correct, but most of those deals include some level of incarceration for the same crimes the Biden family and other Democrats seem to get away with.
