Sometimes, but the charges must be dismissed. If Bound Over or an Indictment rendered, then it is almost impossible. Hire an attorney that knows what a GTLA action is.

Paying the Citation by mail is a Concviction, and adds 4 points to your MVR. If possible go to Court and act respectful to the US Attorney. It may go better.

Not sure of your "Court" fraud, but a Governmental Tort Liability Action is 1 year from injury. Probably any other applicable cause of action will also be 1 year, except some property torts are 3 years.

Hopefully your Diversion is completed, including costs. Then the Indictment and Judgment must be Dismissed. Finally you have to Expunge everything, which can take a few months. Only then will you be ready to buy firearms from an FFL and vote.

No TNSC says that is the whole purpose of expungement. But first you need to be sure you got a successful expungement. Sometimes you have to do it again with your certified order.
