Hunter Biden has been charged with unlawfully purchasing a revolver while using illicit drugs, allegedly lying on federal forms about his drug use when he bought the weapon.

Prosecutors believe their case will last three to four days and Hunter Biden's attorneys expect their case to potentially go over two days.
...
During a status conference Wednesday, Judge Maryellen Noreika told the parties she was "working through the motions" filed by Hunter Biden.

"We're trying to get something out as soon as we can," the judge said. "I haven't completely figured out what I'm going to do with all of them."

Euler, I fully expect the 6/3 start date for Hunter's trial to be pushed back so that it doesn't "interfere" with the November election.

 

After all, they don't want to cause any embarrassment for "the Big guy". 🤮

A federal judge has rejected several attempts by Hunter Biden to throw out his felony gun indictment in Delaware.

The trial -- the first-ever against the child of a sitting US president -- is scheduled to begin in early June, as his father, President Joe Biden, campaigns for reelection.

Federal Judge Maryellen Noreika issued the rulings Friday in the closely watched case. Hunter Biden has pleaded not guilty to charges of lying on federal firearm forms and owning a gun while using illicit drugs.

On claims from Hunter Biden's attorneys that he was being selectively prosecuted because he is the son of President Joe Biden, the judge noted that the attorney general who appointed special counsel David Weiss -- who is overseeing the two cases against Hunter Biden -- was appointed by his father, who is in charge of the executive branch of the government.

"The Executive Branch that charged Defendant is headed by that sitting President -- Defendant's father. The Attorney General heading the DOJ was appointed by and reports to Defendant's father. And that Attorney General appointed the Special Counsel who made the challenged charging decision in this case -- while Defendant's father was still the sitting President," the judge wrote.

"Defendant's claim is effectively that his own father targeted him for being his son, a claim that is nonsensical under the facts here," she added.

The judge also ruled that Hunter Biden's defunct 2023 deal with Weiss didn't give him immunity from the current prosecution and rejected his argument that the charges were politically motivated.

The judge concluded that Hunter Biden "has failed to offer clear evidence" that Weiss abandoned last year's proposed deal to resolve the matter, and instead pursued an indictment, because of Hunter or Joe Biden's "political affiliations."

In fact, "there appear to be legitimate considerations that support the decision to prosecute," she wrote.

The docket doesn't show a ruling yet on a key motion from Hunter Biden challenging the constitutionality of the gun laws used to charge him.

If he was just some random guy, we'd be hoping all charges were dropped.

Go Hunter?

Nope...  Although I may not agree with the 4473 questions and current policy, I would also not be hoping charges were dropped against anyone and I mean anyone who chose to deliberately and intentionally lie on a 4473 to illegally obtain a firearm...  I simply do not support perjury...

If he were just some random guy, we'd be hoping that a fair application of the law might let him go, since the law is unjust.

But since he's a member of the ruling elites, we're hoping for a fair application of the law, which would be to do to him what the law usually does to random guys.

Frequently the only way to get a bad law changed is to get the ruling class to realize that it can be used against them the same way they use it against everyone else. Unfortunately that doesn't happen very often.

I have to admit that it's kind of nice to be in a win-win position when it comes to firearms and the legal system. I'm still pretty sure they'll find a way to cheat.

Hunter Biden's latest attempts to throw out his federal gun case were rejected in back-to-back rulings Thursday, teeing up a high-stakes criminal trial next month in Delaware.

The president's son had asked the 3rd US Circuit Court of Appeals to dismiss the charges by overturning prior decisions from the trial judge that let the case move forward. But the appellate panel instead rejected Hunter Biden's appeals, which related to his defunct plea deal and his claims that the case was tainted by political bias.

Hours later, the trial judge, Maryellen Noreika, rejected Hunter Biden’s remaining motion to dismiss the case based on Second Amendment grounds.
...

I guess he can still appeal the 2nd Amendment ruling after he's convicted.

There are plenty of illegalities that Biden the Younger could have been charged with. No, this one isn't a strong case and if he evades conviction, it spreads the idea that this was the best they had, and lost.  Some of it might be intentional, I don't know.

If Trump doesn't go 4 for 4 in his trials, he'll at least run out the clock, and we see the results right now of his rise in the polls and public perception.

Democrats right now are wondering how their people could have screwed up a simple hanging and a win for Biden; well, there is plenty to second guess with the cases against Hunter.

I don't think this is a weak case I do question the why. To try to convince the the public of equal justice under the law?

Illinois no longer blocks sale if you have a cannabis license (or they have started to fail miserably doing so) so the list of people who could be charged is probably long. 

I however still believe that question is extremely weak and easily subject to multiple interpretations.  

Nope gave it up yesterday pretty much eliminates that question.  

A license doesn't mean you've actually used it even if you purchased you could have disposed of it. 

Prove otherwise.

Exactly I don't know but I have proof, the blocked the first time and not several times after. 

I don't have the license anymore, I couldn't get it cancelled without a certified letter when they kept renewing without paying during covid.

IIRC you have to have your card cancelled for a year before they stop infringing.

Hunter wants an en banc rehearing to throw out the GCA 1968 charge.

His lawyers on Monday asked a federal appeals court to rehear his bid to throw out the indictment. A three-judge panel unanimously rejected his appeal earlier this month, but he's now asking for the full 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals to review the case.
