In December, Hunter Biden’s lawyer filed a motion to dismiss felony gun charges against him.
His attorneys argued that the charges were ‘politically motivated’ and accused Weiss of having ‘buckled under political pressure to bring more severe charges.’
However, top prosecutor [Special Counsel David] Weiss slammed the ‘conspiracy theory’ as a ‘fiction designed for a Hollywood script.’
‘Stripped of its bluster, the defendant’s theory of vindictiveness is simply not credible,’ prosecutors wrote.
‘Left with the inconvenient truth of trying to explain how this could happen during the Biden Administration, the defendant suggests that evil motives are lurking deep within the Department of Justice.
‘This theory is a fiction designed for a Hollywood script,’ they added.
The court filing also delves into into the fact that he chose to write a memoir where he ‘made countless incriminating statements about his years-long drug usage’ at the time when he bought the gun.
‘He recounted his interaction with a drug dealer who pointed a gun at him during a drug deal before he decided to buy his own gun,’ it continues.
‘Investigators also obtained messages from his Apple iCloud account in which he discussed buying thousands of dollars’ worth of crack while also taking videos of himself weighing crack and smoking it.
‘Furthermore, a chemist was able to confirm the presence of cocaine residue on the brown leather pouch in which defendant stored his firearm. The evidence against him does not end there.
‘The charges in this case are not trumped up or because of former President Trump—they are instead a result of the defendant’s own choices and were brought in spite of, not because of, any outside noise made by politicians.
‘The defendant cannot prevail on his selective prosecution claim because he does not identify any individual who chose to make similar choices as him who was not prosecuted, and he cannot establish any link between statements of politicians and a discriminatory purpose by current DOJ officials.’
