What % of DOJ gun charges end in pre-trial diversion? Anybody know?

Looks like .5% of cases that make it to disposition.
Federal Judicial Caseload Statistics 2022
Pretrial Services
The number of cases activated in the pretrial services system equaled 74,119, an increase of 14 percent from 2021.
A total of 373 pretrial diversion cases were activated, up 17 percent from the previous year.

Cuts both ways, doesn’t it?

What is the difference between services and diversion?

Pretrial services is kind of like the bondsman. That should be a fair approximation of every case brought into the federal system.

Genuinely curious for your perspective in comparing the level of evidence involved in opening the Trump/Russia investigation vs the level of evidence currently in the Hunter/Joe extortion scheme.

From my perspective (granted you know more about the legal system than me) it seems there’s more evidence against Joe than was against Trump when his investigation began.

I’m sorry, I saw this earlier and wanted to think about it.

It seems like the evidence against Trump was basically: Papadoppolous statement to Australia, the changes to the RNC, and his public statements. Maybe a bit more I’m forgetting. I know they found more but that’s what they had when crossfire hurricane started. Plus the stuff that has been discredited.

I’m not as knowledgeable about the Biden investigation except that the House Committee members haven’t been willing to say they have anything that ties it directly to Joe.

The main legitimate differences I can see are:
1. The negative attention after crossfire hurricane taught them a lesson? A lot of this originated with Giuliani, if you ate **** for believing Christopher Steele you don’t turn around and believe Giuliani.
2. Crossfire Hurricane was technically an investigation of the campaign, not Trump directly, and there’s not really a corresponding organization to target in these circumstances.

There are a few, IMO, illegitimate reasons like politics and the fact that he’s a sitting president that also explain it.

Sorry, that doesn’t involve any real legal insight.

OK, so you guys have been all excited by the testimony of an IRS "Whistleblower" who has testified that higher-ups at DOJ had refused the request of David Weiss, the prosecutor in charge of the Hunter Biden probe, to elevate him to special counsel status.

Weiss has sent a letter to Lindsey Graham informing him that Weiss has never made such a request. In fact, he believes that the Whistleblower, Gary Shapley doesn't understand the statute because the one thing that Weiss remembers mentioning in Shapley's presence was about being appointed special attorney which is a procedural work-around when working in multiple jurisdictions. Even then it wasn't refused.

The gang that can't shoot straight misses again. I'm glad you guys don't worry about facts, it's always fun to point out your incompetence.

Maybe Comer should lose this witness.

Why does there need to be a “special counsel” to enforce the law for certain people?
