ZeroHedge–A judge ruled that Hunter Biden will need to be arraigned in person, denying his request this week to attend his hearing virtually.
Special counsel David Weiss had argued that Hunter Biden should be required to make in-person court appearances, opposing Mr. Biden’s request.
“Hunter Biden does not contend he is injured or indigent,” Mr. Weiss wrote in a response to Mr. Biden’s request.
Mr. Biden has been indicted in federal court on felony gun charges, including two counts that he allegedly made false and deceptive statements when he purchased a gun and submitted a statement that he wasn’t an unlawful user of drugs, and one count related to his possession of the gun while addicted to drugs.
“An in-person hearing is important to promote the public’s confidence that the defendant is being treated consistently with other defendants,” Mr. Weiss wrote.
Hours later, the court sided with Mr. Weiss, denying Mr. Biden’s request to attend through video conference.
United States Magistrate Judge Christopher Burke wrote that he understood Mr. Biden’s arguments that the hearing would likely be short and the travel and logistics a burden, but the event was significant.
“Although initial appearances in criminal matters are often short in duration, our Court has always considered them to be important,” he wrote. read more
C’mon man! NO ONE fucks with a BIDEN!
i bez an impotent pimp-mofo, yo!
“An in-person hearing is important to promote the public’s confidence that the defendant is being treated consistently with other defendants,”
“To promote the public’s confidence …” not, necessarily, “being treated consistently with other defendants” in fact.
In other words, show and tell. Dog and pony bullshit.
As someone pointed out earlier, the “gun charges” were opted to keep the Retarded Pedophile Usurper Joey out of the dock. Why isn’t he being charged with failure to register as a foreign agent? Or Treason? Or Tax Evasion? Or money laundering?
The whole thing stinks to high heaven.

Book him, Dano! stupidity 1.
Another exercise in futility. Bread and circuses for the masses. Equality under the law is a joke today. All the drama for nothing while the ATF aggressively pursues law abiding citizens and mom and pop gun stores, revokes their licenses for clerical errors and continues to book more unconstitutional “regulations”. Let them eat cake.
