“Nonsensical”: Another Federal Judge Rejects All of Hunter Biden’s Claims for Dismissal
While some legal analysts continue to boost Hunter Biden’s legal claims, the reviews in actual courts are far less glowing. Recently, we discussed a federal judge rejecting all eight motions of Hunter Biden to dismiss his tax charges in a stinging opinion citing a conspicuous lack of actual evidence to support their claims. Now, U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika has also rejected those claims in the gun case in Delaware, calling Hunter’s arguments “nonsensical.”

Legal experts like MSNBC’s Andew Weissmann have slammed the gun charges as “an abuse.” Hunter Biden’s counsel has argued selective prosecution and a bar on charges (based on the defunct notorious plea deal) in both cases.

While these arguments were given great credence on some networks, they were stomped on by actual judges applying the law to the case.

Abby Lowell and Hunter’s defense team have insisted that he is the victim of selective prosecution, but Special Counsel David Weiss has eviscerated those claims. In a recent filing, Weiss dismissed many of Hunter’s claims as “patently false” and noted that he virtually flaunted his violations and engaged in obvious efforts to evade taxes and hide his crimes.

Weiss further noted that other defendants did not write “a memoir in which they made countless statements proving their crimes and drawing further attention to their criminal conduct.”

It was a devastating take-down of Hunter’s claims, but it did not address the conspicuous omission of charges brought against Menendez, including FARA charges.

It also does not address the fact that the Justice Department not only allowed the statute of limitations to run on major crimes, but sought to finalize an obscene plea agreement with no jail time for Hunter. It only fell apart when a judge decided to ask a couple of cursory questions of the prosecutor, who admitted that he had never seen an agreement this generous for a defendant.

Weiss noted in his filing that they filed new charges only after Hunter’s legal counsel refused to change the agreement and insisted that it remained fully enforceable.

Judge Noreika is equally unimpressed by the arguments of the Biden team. She almost mockingly noted that “Defendant’s articulated protected class is apparently family members of politically-important persons.” She later added:

“Defendant’s claim is effectively that his own father targeted him for being his son, a claim that is nonsensical under the facts here. Regardless of whether Congressional Republicans attempted to influence the Executive Branch, there is no evidence that they were successful in doing so and, in any event, the Executive Branch prosecuting Defendant was at all relevant times (and still is) headed by Defendant’s father.”

The court also rejected Hunter Biden’s effort to subpoena Trump, former attorney general Bill Barr, and two other senior officials who served in the Trump Justice Department. Again, she noted that it was the Biden administration that decided to prosecute Hunter Biden on the firearms offenses.

Here is the decision: Hunter Biden Gun Decision

  2. The only guy who ever got a plea deal like Hunter was going to get (but fortunately did not) is Richard Epstein.

    1. He did have one, he got let off light by Acosta, because men in black from government came to instruct him that he was owned by intel. THat’s on record, look it up.

      Guess what. Hunter was probably playing footsie with Intel in Ukraine too. You know who else was on the Burisma board?

  3. Interesting discussion as we teeter onthe precipice of WW3. It seems the Liberal Progressive Socialist Democrats believe they can “transform “ our Republic by social engineering unrest, flooding it with immigrants and collapsing the dollar. Reportedly their belief is that it will fail and land upon their established networks of the globalist agenda new world order, translated to no more Constitutional Republic. I firmly believe that should their efforts be fruitful in getting us into a war and destroying the Republic from within they will be very surprised. There will be nowhere they could hide from the wrath of a free people now lined for serfdom, losing their wealth, prosperity and the future of their people.

    You will own nothing and like it, I think not, not even with my dying breath.

    1. Buddy, don’t worry about devaluation of the dollar. Dollar needs to drop by at least 25% against the Yuan before re-industrialization of the USA can genuinely begin in earnest.

      Its the billionaire parastites from Larry Fink to Soros and the whole lot of them– who really have something to lose. Not you and me. Go buy some gold bars at the corner store if you’re really worried.

      As for socialism I got bad news and good news. The bad news is, it’s here to say. the good news is, if we can control it then we can defang these billionaire SOBs like Larry Fink and Soros and make a more just society for the other 99.9% of us.

      it’s going however to take a patriotic form of socialism, the likes of which the pinkos at American universities, and the freaks in ANTIFA have no clue about. The good news is, there are object lessons in history for how it can work. I’ll let you consider who those might be. …..

  4. Hunter Is Nobody Compared To Jared

    Jared Kushner’s investment fund is not especially large by global finance standards. But as he geted. it fully up and running, each step is bringing with it ethical issues that would only grow if his father-in-law, Donald J. Trump, should win another term as president.

    His $3 billion fund is financed almost entirely from overseas investors with whom he worked when he served as a senior adviser in the Trump White House. He has taken money from government wealth funds in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, as well as from Terry Gou, a founder of Foxconn, the Taiwan-based electronics manufacturer, whose role in Mr. Kushner’s firm has not been previously disclosed.

    In total, 99 percent of the money placed with him by investors has come from foreign sources, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission in late March.

    Mr. Kushner’s firm, Affinity Partners, is collecting approximately $40 million a year in management fees from those investors even before any share of profits earned on investments. He has made 10 investments to date, totaling $1.2 billion, many of them in companies based abroad.

    Near-do-well Hunter can’t hold a candle to Jared, as evidenced by this article from Tuesday. It’s odd that Professor Turley never compares Hunter to Jared. Is Turley just not interested by Jared’s success?

    1. Kushner negotiated the landmark Abraham Accords arrangement that saw Israel, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Morocco establish diplomatic relations. The accords were a massive success, boosting Middle Eastern security cooperation, political stability, trade and tourism. They also provided a foundation for a possible Saudi-Israeli normalisation agreement. And while Rhodes plays to populism with his criticism of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, he belies his false claims to foreign policy credibility in doing so.

      After all, the vast majority of US diplomats, intelligence and military personnel focused on Middle Eastern politics believe that the Trump administration was right to prioritise Saudi relations beyond the scope of Khashoggi’s obviously terrible murder. Bin Salman was responsible for that murder, yes, but the Trump administration rightly recognised that more US interests are at stake with Riyadh than the fate of one man.

      It’s not just about trade, energy security and balance of power politics. Saudi Arabia has been a keystone US counter-terrorism partner since 2003, providing invaluable intelligence assistance in the fight against both al Qaeda and ISIS. Saudi intelligence officers and agents have died to save Western lives. And though his autocratic tendencies and repression of certain officials is lamentable, bin Salman’s domestic reform program is critically important.

      The crown prince is diversifying his economy away from oil, seeking greater cultural connectivity with the West and strengthening women’s rights. These are the facts. But if bin Salman fails, Saudi Arabia will be left with a very young population that lacks opportunity and hope. This will be a goldmine for Salafi-Jihadist recruiters. Indeed, it will pose the threat of a supercharged ISIS 2.0, and– if the Iranians develop a nuclear weapon – an ISIS 2.0 kitted out with weapons of mass destruction. Is that an acceptable cost for Rhodes’ creative scorn?

      President Obama willfully ignored Iranian human rights protesters as they were brutally subjugated. He endorsed the Arab spring then backed down when things started getting complicated. He compared ISIS to a junior high school team, only acting against the terrorist caliphate when it had seized a vast area of Iraq and Syria. And he ignored the Sunni Arab monarchies in both form (deeply offending Arab sensibilities) and action (negotiating the Iran nuclear agreement without any serious collaboration with these close US allies). Rhodes didn’t simply play an intimate role in all these failures, he often revels in his record as the supreme conductor for them.

      1. REGARDING ABOVE:

        “The accords were a massive success, boosting Middle Eastern security”.

        Apparently this ANONYMOUS has been in a cave since October’s 7th.

        No, Anonymous, there’s no “Middle Eastern Security”.

        1. Post the Abraham accords there was a substantial boost to Mideastern security.
          Biden’s botched policies – both and the Mideast and elsewhere undermined that.

          Even now a major factor in thus far preventing this conflict from massively expanding has been the Abraham accords.

          It has been reported – even by the left that Post Oct 7, MBS argued that SA should not take sides in the Gaza conflict and quietly continue its relations with Israel. While MBS lost that argument to King Feisal – SA is publicly supported the Palestinians and reslations with israel haven been strained, thus far they have quietly held. The nations that are all part of the Abraham accords have all quietly maintained their relations with Israel – though some have publicly condemed Israel. Conversely their support for palestainains and Hamas has been confined to words and humanitarian aide.

          So yes – despite Biden’s idiotic foreign policy – which Rhoades was instrumental in initiating under Obama, The mid East is more peaceful that it would have been without the Abraham accords.

          At the same time – thought the WHEN is the responsibility of Kushner, just as the WHEN of the US retreat from the Mid East and the US retreat from Europe and the US shift of focus to Asia and China where because of Trump.
          Something like the Abraham accords was inevitable. The shifts in US foreign policy from the mideast, Russian and Europe to China were inevitable.

          Trump and Kushner made the inevitable occur sooner rather than later, while those like Rhoades engaged in stupid policies that merely delay the inevitable. Or in some cases worse. Proir to the end of the Trump administration Iran was cash starved and incapable of large scale exports of terror. But for Biden’s energy policies, his bad miseastern policies, his bad iranian policies – Oct 7 likely would never have occurred.

          Actions have consequences. Kushner made the world safer, Rhoades has made it more dangerous.

      1. And Rhoades is a democratic policy expert that has been WRONG about pretty much everything – not merely wrong, but actually destructively wrong. People are dead as a consequence sof the bad policies he is responsible for.

        1. Rhoades has the perfect resume for the Biden administration, failure begets failure!
