Rep. Duncan Hunter requested dismissal of criminal charges

For nearly a year Rep. Duncan Hunter has dismissed prosecutors and the criminal charges against him as politically motivated.

Now he’s asking the courts to do the same.

On Monday Hunter’s attorney filed a motion of dismissal in federal court, asking the judge to throw out the criminal case against him on the grounds that the U.S. attorneys prosecuting him lacked “impartiality” and improperly conducted themselves, thus violating his Fifth Amendment right to “due process.”

Or, alternatively, Hunter asked that the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of California be removed from further participation in the case.

Is the prosecution treating you and your activities like common criminality? That's gotta be terrible for a well-connected white guy! I think we can all agree that poor Duncan has now suffered enough.
