But the Cocaine Hunter is still free. Why? How can this be? We call this political interference by the DOJ. This case is now six years old. Anyone else would be spending time in the Iron Bar by now. But not Hunter, a Mother F..k.R. is still Walking the Line.
Hunter Biden’s defense team took shots at David Weiss’s credibility in a court filing on Tuesday, arguing the special counsel has “gotten much wrong” since charging the first son last year with illegally purchasing a firearm.
Defense attorneys’ claims that Weiss has made mistakes came as part of their fight to obtain additional discovery in the case, and they could signal that the first son intends to chip away at Weiss’s credibility piece by piece as a strategy to undermine his prosecution.
Defense attorneys, for example, accused prosecutors of misrepresenting a photo from Biden’s computer data that they included in their most recent court filing.
The photo was among three photos and several text messages prosecutors shared in the filing in part to demonstrate that Biden “took multiple photographs of videos [sic] apparent cocaine, crack cocaine, and drug paraphernalia” in 2018 at the time of his alleged gun crime.
While Biden’s attorneys did not confirm the authenticity of the photos and messages — they continue to contend that Biden’s now-prolific laptop data have been manipulated — they said that after reviewing discovery Weiss had provided to them, they found that the photo in question was of sawdust rather than cocaine.
“The prosecution was reckless in making such a hyperbolic and sensational claim in a public filing, which it surely realized would prejudice Mr. Biden in the public eye,” Biden’s attorneys wrote.
The defense attorneys did not address the other photos and messages, some of which indicate that Biden was indeed using drugs in 2018 around the same time he purchased a revolver. Weiss has alleged that Biden lied on a gun form about his drug use to purchase the firearm. Biden has pleaded not guilty to the charges and is pushing to have his case dismissed.
The defense attorneys also seized on the recent arrest of Alexander Smirnov to raise questions about Weiss’s credibility.
