CNN Legal Analyst on Hunter Biden’s Sweetheart Deal: ‘This Is Not a Sweetheart Deal’

BERMAN Obviously you are ░░░░░░░░ hearing a lot of ░░░░░░░░ Oh sweetheart deal oh ░░░░░░░░ or that None of ░░░░░░░░ really knows the details ░░░░░░░░ the possible charges here ░░░░░░░░ exactly what was agreed ░░░░░░░░ as part of this ░░░░░░░░ Jennifer but how does ░░░░░░░░ assess whether this is ░░░░░░░░ type of deal that ░░░░░░░░ normal person not a ░░░░░░░░ s child would get ░░░░░░░░ this circumstance RODGERS So ░░░░░░░░ would look to other ░░░░░░░░ cases So on the ░░░░░░░░ form charge it s ░░░░░░░░ very standard for someone ░░░░░░░░ this situation who lies ░░░░░░░░ the form because they ░░░░░░░░ an addict The gun ░░░░░░░░ long gone apparently he ░░░░░░░░ had it for a ░░░░░░░░ of week and it ░░░░░░░░ very standard in these ░░░░░░░░ for this diversion to ░░░░░░░░ and to wipe out ░░░░░░░░ charges assuming he successfully ░░░░░░░░ it So that s ░░░░░░░░ standard And the tax ░░░░░░░░ is similar as well ░░░░░░░░ mean he paid those ░░░░░░░░ back a long time ░░░░░░░░ and that is something ░░░░░░░░ the DoJ takes very ░░░░░░░░ seriously when negotiating these ░░░░░░░░ And I ll also ░░░░░░░░ that Hunter Biden was ░░░░░░░░ addict at the time ░░░░░░░░ there was discussion of ░░░░░░░░ back when this investigation ░░░░░░░░ going When you re ░░░░░░░░ about a drug addict ░░░░░░░░ have to think about ░░░░░░░░ you can prove the ░░░░░░░░ rea If this goes ░░░░░░░░ trial is he going ░░░░░░░░ be able to undercut ░░░░░░░░ case about whether he ░░░░░░░░ and willfully didn t ░░░░░░░░ his taxes So given ░░░░░░░░ of that and given ░░░░░░░░ cases with tax fraud ░░░░░░░░ is not a sweetheart ░░░░░░░░ It s a deal ░░░░░░░░ think it s a ░░░░░░░░ deal for Hunter Biden ░░░░░░░░ that he will stay ░░░░░░░░ of prison and end ░░░░░░░░ with only two misdemeanors ░░░░░░░░ his record but it ░░░░░░░░ certainly not a sweetheart ░░░░░░░░ out of line with ░░░░░░░░ happens in the rest ░░░░░░░░ the country.”
