called a pretrial diversion agreement. that diversion agreement is for the felony gun charge that, after two years, was going to be completely dismissed and would be re-eraseed from hunter s record. but in the diversion agreement was the behind paragraph that they didn t even show to the judge until the last minute that arguably gave him broad immunity. here s what no one s talking about. the biden defense team might very well move to enforce that pretrial diversion agreement. david schoen, who was on your show with me a few weeks ago, suggested that they do that. and, boy, if they do that, and they win, it doesn t matter who the special counsel is. laura: sol, mike, thanks so much now, one of the assumed by-products of this announcement is that it could derail or somehow short circuit the house investigations that are ongoing, and then complicate any possible
