Special counsel dismisses Joe Biden's ‘nonsensical’ claim Hunter was ‘selectively and unfairly prosecuted’

Hindustan Times  

Special counsel David Weiss has dismissed Joe Biden’s claim that Hunter Biden was “selectively and unfairly prosecuted” for federal tax and gun crimes. Special counsel dismisses Joe Biden's ‘nonsensical’ claim Hunter was ‘selectively and unfairly prosecuted’ “The Government does not challenge that the defendant has been the recipient of an act of mercy. “No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter’s cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he is my son – and that is wrong,” he added, claiming Weiss’ prosecution of Hunter amounted to a “miscarriage of justice.” ‘The Delaware court exposed the nonsensical nature of the defendant’s selective prosecution claims’ In the filing, Weiss noted that judges in Hunter’s California tax case and Delaware gun trial rejected the “nonsensical” claim about the prosecution being selective. Noreika stated that Hunter’s claim of selective prosecution was “belied by the facts.” “The Executive Branch that charged Defendant is headed by that sitting President – Defendant’s father,” Norieka wrote.
