Hunter Biden Judge Dismisses Gun Charge

2023-10-12

[Newsmax] A federal judge moved to formally dismiss the gun charge Hunter Biden was initially expected to avoid prosecution on before his plea deal collapsed under scrutiny.

U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika accepted the Justice Department’s motion to dismiss the original gun charge because President Joe Biden’s son is now facing a three-count indictment filed last month, according to the order, which was obtained by The Messenger.

Biden, 53, had been expected to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges and to enter pre-trial diversion over the gun offense, but the deal collapsed after Noreika raised questions about an immunity clause it contained at a July hearing.

In September, Biden was indicted on one count of possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user of, or addicted to, a controlled substance and two counts of making false statements in order to purchase a gun.

The first son pleaded not guilty to the charges last week as the case moves toward a possible trial. His lawyers have said they plan to push for a dismissal of the indictment, and maintain he did not break the law.
(As expected!)

#3 Nobody is fooled or convinced. The process is useful only in identifying more corrupt actors in need or firing and or impeaching when we finally empty the trash.

#2 Two-tier justice system. They can deny it all they want but they can't hide it. She would have thrown the book at him if he'd been a J6 protester.

#1 "Dismissed" because other charges are now pending ?

Certainly a Strange bit of judicial maneuvering....conveniently timed to minimize media coverage I might add.
