    Maybe I missed it, but to what end? To angle for a mistrial? I agree that Hunter has been treated very unfairly and used as a political distraction, but there has to be a purpose for the subpoenas relevant to the case.

      From the filing, should have been included in the article:

      Mr. Biden seeks specific information from three former DOJ officials and the former President that goes to the heart of his defense that this is, possibly, a vindictive or selective prosecution arising from an unrelenting pressure campaign beginning in the last administration, in violation of Mr. Biden’s Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution.

        I mean, yeah that sounds fair I guess. Cause I absolutely think that happened.

            Watch his lawyers file literal photocopies of this motion in all of his current cases, crossing out Hunter Biden’s name and replacing it with his in Sharpie.

              Trump and his lawyers seem more like off brand crayon kinda people.

              crossing out Hunter Biden’s name and replacing it with his in Sharpie.

              The “I know you are but what am I” maneuver, bold move…

        Thank you! I tried following the other link in the article, and it just talked about the plea deals that fell through regarding his case.

        The Real MVP! TY! I’d give you worthless fake internet points if we were still on Reddit.

          I really really like to find actual documents (or courtroom videos, but don’t you dare post those to !politics), as opposed to other people’s take on the same. While journalistic experience can definitely provide context and insights, I think it’s important to have the actual thing at hand (as evidenced by this article failing to include the pertinent above quote from the filing).

            I completely sympathize. And have a similar “it ain’t much, but it’s honest work” approach to lay articles posted in science related magazines/ communities, of posting a link to the peer reviewed research article when it’s not cited or included in the lay article. Please carry on, you are making the world a better place.

            Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
