'Here we go again': Internet mocks Hunter Biden as his lawyers claim David Weiss acts on 'Russian intelligence'

WASHINGTON, DC: Hunter Biden's lawyers implied on Monday, March 11, that special counsel David Weiss was pursuing charges against the 54-year-old son of President Biden to carry out the wishes of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Attorneys Abbe Lowell and Bartholomew Dalton accused Weiss of imposing tax and gun-related offenses against the younger Biden following the collapse of his plea agreement in July 2023, claiming this served the interests of the Kremlin.

Hunter Biden's lawyers criticize David Weiss for acting on ‘Russian intelligence’

The lawyers penned a harsh six-page document on Monday, March 11, "The Special Counsel has done exactly what the Russian intelligence operation desired by initiating prosecutions against Mr Biden."

Following Weiss' indictment of former FBI informant Alexander Smirnov in February, Lowell filed a new request to have the case against Biden dismissed.

The now-questionably implausible claims that Joe and Hunter Biden received $5 million each from Mykola Zlochevsky, the owner of Burisma Holdings, for their assistance in the removal of Viktor Shokin, the previous prosecutor general of Ukraine, came from Smirnov.

Hunter Biden's legal team expressed fury over the questionable bribery allegations and said that Weiss' team 'reopened' its investigation into Smirnov's charges at some point last year in response to pressure from 'extremist Republicans and right-wing press outlets,' as per the New York Post.

From there, Lowell and Dalton appeared to draw a parallel between the breakdown of the pretrial diversion deal for the weapons charges in July and the implosion of a proposed plea agreement on the tax charges.

The lawyers wrote, "By the end of that month (July), the then-US Attorney’s Office, instead of addressing with Mr Biden’s counsel the specific questions this Court asked on July 26, instead abruptly backed away from a Plea Agreement that it signed and proposed to this Court and reneged on the Diversion Agreement."

But in the dramatic July 26, 2023 hearing, US District Judge Maryellen Noreika tore into the agreement, revealing the gap between the defense and the prosecution over whether or not he would benefit from blanket immunity.

Internet trolls Hunter Biden after his lawyers' accusations on David Weiss

Several internet users ended up trolling Hunter Biden as his lawyers implied David Weiss was pursuing charges against him to carry out the wishes of Russian President Putin.

A user on X wrote, "Here we go again with the Russia myth. Lock his a** up already," while one added, "Without proof, an accusation of this caliber should be grounds for disbarment if found to be false (which it is) and no, "opinions of former intel officials" is not proof."

Another person stated, "We tired of these played-out lines of attack," whereas one mentioned, "There’s no honor in this." A user added, "Talk about a shopworn strategy."
