Hunter Biden changing his plea to guilty in tax evasion case to avoid tax trial.
Sweetheart plea deal, with a future Daddy pardon or commutation?
Some are predicting 1-3 years in prison.

I understand the justice department did not accept the plea. So to trial it goes. Of course, he can again plea guilty and actually say he’s guilty and then just take a trial on punishment or to the judge on punishment. Of course, he’s entitled to a PSI, which he will not wave. That should take the case past the election. After that, Daddy can pardon him.

Thankfully a Delaware Judge threw out last years sweetheart deal for Hunter on the tax and gun charges.

Well Hunter plead open, enter a guilty plea and is going to the judge for sentencing in December. He will be pardoned before then.

Hard to say, based on nothing more than a photo that apparently shows a lack of common sense. From his bio, I'd say Commander Yaste is no dummy. And is common in the Navy, he served as XO on the destroyer, prior to becoming the CO. The Navy chain of command was apparently satisfied with Yaste's performance as XO to promote him to CO.

I would suggest they had become clearly dissatisfied when they fired him. Every board selected commander of any ship, battalion, or squadron is by definition highly qualified. In the army, one out of every four or five of them will be selected to command at the next level. Some fail badly and are relieved during their command. I assume most citizens would prefer such a tough performance standard when those men and women are directly responsible for our nations young warriors.

I can not speak for the other services, but the Army is particularly wary of the Courtenay Massengale’s of this world. Most are rooted out before or during battalion level command. Some make it to brigade and occasionally beyond.
