Hunter Biden is asking appellate courts in both of his criminal cases to consider dismissing his tax and gun charges, according to court documents.
Biden asked the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday to hear his arguments for dismissal after a judge in Delaware denied Biden’s requests to drop three felonies related to a 2018 gun purchase.
Biden had argued to Judge Maryellen Noreika that his charges should be dropped by claiming that a since-withdrawn plea agreement was actually active and had immunized him from being charged; that special counsel David Weiss, who is overseeing Biden’s prosecutions, was inappropriately appointed to his position; and that Weiss violated the separation of powers by charging Biden only after House Republicans demanded that he do so.
Noreika, an appointee of former President Donald Trump, denied Biden’s requests on all three fronts.
Noreika was the judge who initially raised questions about the scope of the proposed plea agreement between Biden and Weiss last summer. She found the agreement unusual and zeroed in on a dispute between prosecutors and defense attorneys about provisions of the agreement, leading to the agreement’s eventual collapse.
Biden argued that a portion of the plea deal, called a “diversion agreement,” was still in effect, but Weiss countered that it was not because a probation officer had not signed off on it. Noreika agreed with Weiss.

What a joke! A sick joke!
Wait a minute...Doesn’t he have to pay a half a billion dollar fine first before he can appeal?
I’m confused. According to all the legal geniuses around here you have to wait to appeal.
Oh, only Trump.
Why do so many Trump “supporters” buy into this legal nonesense?
This should get you just as sick.........
I was listening to the Bo Snerdley/James Golden Rush hour show on the radio today and he was talking about Hillary how Hillary said “If Trump wins the election he will kill his oppponents”
LOL! Ms. ARKANCIDE is pointing fingers?
See my tagline? I’ve had that tagline for at least 15 years on Freep. I absolutely LIVE for the day that bitch is brought to justice. When Trump won 2016 I wrote and sent him a handwritten letter congratulating him then asked him to make it a priority to see to it that Hillary Clinton is brought to justice, otherwise she will cause him massive trouble. I was proven right 1000 times over.
Everyone always says Obama is giving the orders behind the scenes when it comes to Biden. No he isn’t. Hillary is. I guarantee you SHE is THE reason Trump was indicted. It was revenge to get back at his “Because you would be locked up” comment at the debate. Hillary works two ways: If she can’t kill an opponent, she will destroy that opponents life in other ways.
Lock. Hunter. Up. For a very long time.
And it's very,very unlikely that it will even come to *that*!
It seems unusual to appeal something that has not yet had a verdict.
Just keep feeding them red meat, and they’ll never ask “why”.
Don’t they know who he is?
The future Father of the Year and his misunderstood son....
“What they’re trying to do is they’re trying to kill me,” Hunter claimed at another point in the interview, “knowing that it will be a pain greater than my father could be able to handle, and so therefore destroying a presidency in that way.” NY Post Dec.8, 2023😭
Presidential pardon would have to wait till November 4th...
The goal is to appeal everything until after the election. Hunter was caught dead to rights guilty. TPTB don’t want SloJoe to have to pardon Hunter before the election or ABCNBCCBSCNNMSNBCNYTLAT will have to report it and some not so observant voters might start questioning their support for .....you know, the thing.
