Attorneys for Hunter Biden on Tuesday withdrew their bid for a new trial in his federal gun case, conceding in court papers that a motion they filed last month misunderstood a technicality in the district court's capacity to carry out a trial.
Hunter Biden's legal team had argued in a filing last month that his "convictions should be vacated" because trial commenced before a circuit court formally issued a mandate denying one of his many pretrial appeals -- an argument disputing not the merits of the case, but the mechanics of the trial.

His pardon is coming... Along with a bunch of cash, drugs and hookers. As long as he gets daddy to drop out.

I think Biden brought Hunter into the White House so that the CIA could not kill him off.

Biden should do all pardons now.
There is no guarantee the Deep State does not “do the dirty” with zero warning.

They all know he is about to be pardoned. I am sure “Joe” is working on it as we type.

Can you say, “Commutation?” I thought you could. Hunter would have to be sentenced first. Biden could pardon Hunter right now.

Exactly. He wants sentencing to happen ASAP, so daddy can commute his sentence.

He probably figured his old man wouldn’t be in the White House by the time a new trial, if granted, would occur. Better take the pardon or commutation now, and get it over.

In other words dad called and wants the trial off the frontlines. “Don’t worry Hunter, I got your back.”

Of course, he now wants to get this over with as soon as possible so that he can be pardoned before Joe is gone.

Hunter lives five years tops once he’s away from the protection of his father.

You must be convicted before a commutation takes place. Joe can pardon Hunter of any and all crimes or potential criminal acts.

Hunter was convicted on the gun charges.
