Well this is nice - the system dishing out a little bipartisan justice.
Not for lack of trying by the the Trump-appointed AUSA trying to get a diversion for ALL OTHER CHARGES for Biden if he pled this case down.
Judge Norieka was having none of that BS.

Trump's bipartisan umbrella, on full display. Would that the Biden administration was as open minded.

I can't believe Joe Biden would weaponize the DOJ like this.
Absolutely.
How many gun-toting, influence peddling, crackheads can walk away from the DOJ with a plea deal that contains no jail time and no felonies in a deal type that has never been done before?

The question you probably don’t see pondered that much is whether he’d even have been indicted if his name were Hunter Smith. This almost never gets charged, and when it does there’s usually another crime involved.
Some legal analyst said they could find no other cases where a first offender was charged for this with only one gun and no other crimes involved.

I'm sure a creative Manhattan DA could have found another crime to link it to.

If he wasn't Hunter Biden, he'd be on the hook for a heckuva lot worse charges than a simple lying in a federal 4473.

He has tax charges too.

Unfortunately influence peddling by family isn’t illegal. Hence Jared and his $2B of gulf money.

The part about being a spy could get tricky
But his team shredded the plea agreement in a Delaware federal court the following month after prosecutor Leo Wise mentioned that the deal’s terms did not include immunity from future charges — including potential violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).

Different case, but
Hunter Biden pleaded guilty to federal tax charges Thursday, heading off a trial that was expected to further shine an unflattering light on his past business dealings and freewheeling lifestyle.
Biden’s surprise plea capped a whirlwind morning in Los Angeles federal court, where jury selection was set to begin for Biden’s tax trial.At the outset of Thursday’s court proceedings, Biden’s lawyer proposed an unusual deal where President Biden’s son would maintain his innocence while conceding that the evidence was sufficient for a guilty verdict.
Prosecutors said they were shocked by the proposal of a so-called Alford deal and wouldn’t support any plea without an admission of guilt. “Hunter Biden is not innocent. Hunter Biden is guilty,” prosecutor Leo Wise told U.S. District Judge Mark Scarsi, a Trump appointee presiding over the case.
Later Thursday, a lawyer for Biden came back from a break and told Scarsi his client would abandon the Alford plea and plead guilty without any negotiated deal with prosecutors working under special counsel David Weiss.
