Continued from my last post... So Fox News is not going to "dwell on" the actual background of Brett Tolman and his "client" Jeremy Hutchinson, not while there is the unindicted Hunter Biden to "chew toy" to their eager, braindead audience!
So, Fox News's clumsy recent attempt to further smear Biden and son is built around a quote by "no friend of the U.S. Constitution,
(see Tolman's involvement in the 2005 renewal of the Patriot Act and his sneaky maneuver to remove the timely requirement for Senate
confirmation of U.S. Attorney nominees) Brett Tolman, reported new deep in a scheme to "pay for a Trump pardon" to help Arkansas Gov.
Asa Hutchinson's nephew, Jeremy escape all punishment, including a lengthy prison sentence Jeremy has been waiting to receive since he
plead guilty in 2018 to literally a truckload of federal felony charges.
The president’s allies have collected tens of thousands of dollars — and potentially much more — from people seeking pardons.

WASHINGTON — "As President Trump prepares to leave office in days, a lucrative market for
pardons is coming to a head, with some of his allies collecting fees from wealthy felons or their associates to push the White House for
clemency, according to documents and interviews with more than three dozen lobbyists and lawyers.
The brisk market for
pardons reflects the
access peddling that has
defined Mr. Trump’s presidency as well as his unorthodox approach to exercising unchecked presidential clemency powers.
Pardons and commutations
are intended to show mercy to deserving recipients, but Mr. Trump has used many of them to reward personal or political allies.
The pardon lobbying heated up as it became clear that Mr. Trump had no recourse for challenging his election defeat, lobbyists and lawyers say. One lobbyist,
Brett Tolman, a former federal prosecutor who has been advising the White House on pardons and commutations,
has monetized his clemency work, collecting tens of thousands of dollars, and possibly more, in recent weeks to lobby the White House for clemency for the son of a former Arkansas senator; the founder of the notorious online drug marketplace Silk Road; and a Manhattan socialite who pleaded guilty in a fraud scheme...."
Career criminal and federal convict Jeremy Hutchinson makes Hunter Biden resemble an altar boy in comparison and Trump and
Brett Tolman also make Hunter look better than they do!

Another legal complication for Jeremy Hutchinson: back taxes
January 25, 2022
"Among his cases awaiting sentencing is one for overspending campaign money on himself and filing false federal income tax returns from 2011 to 2014 to conceal his misconduct. He also took bribes from an orthodontist sentenced yesterday in Fayetteville and has pleaded guilty in a sprawling federal grand jury indictment in the Western District of Missouri for his role in a multi-million-dollar public corruption scheme that involved embezzlement, bribes and illegal campaign contributions for elected public officials.
The governor’s nephew has been out of the public eye since his various guilty pleas, resignation from office and loss of his law license. He remarried in 2017. Some of his work — or lack of required work — remains the subject of civil litigation..."
