Trump attorneys file motion to dismiss 'failed lawfare' case in New York, citing Hunter Biden pardon
Fox News ^ | 12/3/23 | Brooke Singman

Lawyers for President-elect Donald Trump have officially requested to "immediately" dismiss charges against him in New York v. Trump, declaring the "failed lawfare" case "should never have been brought."

"President Donald J. Trump respectfully submits this motion to dismiss the Indictment and vacate the jury’s verdicts...," they wrote in their official motion to dismiss submitted to the court on Monday. "The Presidential immunity doctrine, the Presidential Transition Act, and the Supremacy Clause all require that result, and they require it immediately."

Trump attorneys said Biden’s "comments amounted to an extraordinary condemnation of President Biden’s own DOJ."

"This is the same DOJ that coordinated and oversaw the politically-motivated, election-interference witch hunts targeting President Trump by disgraced Special Counsel Jack Smith, the other biased prosecutors in Smith’s Special Counsel’s Office ("SCO"), and others. This is the same DOJ that sent Matthew Colangelo to DA Bragg to help unfairly target President Trump in this empty and lawless case," they wrote. "Since DA Bragg took office, he has engaged in ‘precisely the type of political theater’ that President Biden condemned." "Yesterday, in issuing a 10-year pardon to Hunter Biden that covers any and all crimes whether charged or uncharged, President Biden asserted that his son was ‘selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted,’ and ‘treated differently,’" they wrote. "President Biden argued that ‘raw politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice.’"

Here’s a though that will REALLY explode liberals’ heads...

When Trump goes in for his colonoscopy, JD Vance is temporary president. JD pardons him while Trump is under anesthesia.

"President Biden argued that ‘raw politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice.’"

Resident Joe "Urkel" Biden says "Did I screw up again? Did I do that?".

A month and a half to go, and leave to Joe to f' things up again and again.

Merchan has already balked at dropping the case. He’ll do whatever the Dems want to do, unless he feels some very strong outside pressure.

That’s fine. I hope Merchan’s taxes are in order.

Should have been filed long ago. They used testimony that is protected by the pres immunity. Nothing to do with Biden parden really.
