"This week, federal government whistleblowers allege massive DOJ/FBI corrupt obstruction to protect Hunter and Biden family," tweeted Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch. "And Biden regime sweetheart plea deal with Hunter is announced. Joe Biden's response? Bring Hunter to WH for a State Dinner and then off to Camp David for the weekend with him."

Tom Fitton, who founded Judicial Watch, a conservative advocacy group in Washington, called the plea deal and diversion agreement “a miscarriage of justice whose chief beneficiary is President Biden.” He questioned why Mr. Garland had not appointed a special counsel who might have produced a public report explaining why prosecutors did not seek a harsher penalty, as did John Durham, the special counsel who investigated the origins of the inquiry into the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia.

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton told Secrets that Biden’s plea agreement was “outrageous” but “not surprising.” He said that in cutting a deal, Attorney General Merrick Garland has pushed aside Biden family scandals to make reelection easier.

Tom Fitton, one of Trump’s most vocal supporters, said the judge’s order was so vague as to virtually guarantee a confrontation between Trump, the Justice Department and the judge who ultimately oversees the case.“When Trump starts talking about the case, which he has every right to do on the campaign trail, what are Nauta and all of the other people around Trump every day supposed to do: Cover their ears so they can’t hear it?” asked Fitton, president of the conservative public interest group Judicial Watch.
