(Daily Wire) Hunter Biden faced multiple blows in court Thursday, as a judge denied his motion to dismiss his three felony gun charges and an appeals court also ruled against him.
Judge Maryellen Noreika of the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware set a three-to-six day trial beginning June 3.
The Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit rejected his appeal, in which Hunter referenced precedent about “former government officials claiming they are immunized from prosecution based on separation-of-powers principles” — even though the first son is not a former government official, and Democrats are zealously seeking to try former president Donald Trump, who is, in state courts.
Hunter also tried to have the charge dismissed by saying the government was bound to a “diversion agreement” that would have eventually made the gun charges go away.
U.S. Attorney David Weiss drafted the deal, then rescinded it last summer after being embarrassed when whistleblowers provided evidence of the DOJ seemingly hamstringing investigators on the case. Prosecutors could not point to a single case in which they had agreed to such a generous “diversion agreement” for felony gun charges for anyone else, and a probation officer declined to approve the deal.
A lawyer for rapper Kodak Black, who received three years in prison for similar charges, said, “There’s no such thing as not getting jail time on a gun charge… 2 tiers of justice?”
Nonetheless, Hunter argued to the court that he is the victim of “selective and vindictive prosecution,” and continued to demand documents to prove it even after the judge shut down the argument. He went so far as to demand information about grand jurors, which is normally secret, because “it remains possible that in this highly-politicized matter, the grand jury was selected without regard to the bias that people might have.”
