OPINION | Attorney General Merrick Garland would be doing the country and tax payers a big favor if he simply pulled the plug on any further investigation into Hunter Biden, and simply took the heat for doing so.

did Hunter Biden no favors in this case by leaving the original Trump-appointed prosecutor on the case, and approving a plea deal on charges that for anyone else would likely have resulted in no criminal charges being brought.

Biden’s legal team was no doubt well aware of that and probably hoped the payment made—plus the fact that the liability was not that great—would cause the DOJ to decline to bring any criminal charges at all. In exchange for Biden pleading guilty the prosecutors will seek only probation and no jail time.

Despite various analyses that indicate some evidence actually came from the laptop, it is hard to imagine any prosecutor wanting to rely on evidence that was already handled by scores of others, including Rudy Giuliani.
