Attorney General Merrick Garland announced he appointed a special counsel in the Hunter Biden investigation.
Whoa, are they actually taking the case seriously?
Oh, wait.
Garland chose David Weiss, who brought the charges against Hunter:
“I’m here today to announce the appointment of David Weiss as a special counsel consistent with the Department of Justice regulations governing such matters. In keeping with those regulations, I have today notified the designated members of each House of Congress of the appointment,” Garland said at a press conference in Washington, D.C.
Weiss is the federal prosecutor who has investigated the business dealings of Hunter Biden and brought charges against him in Delaware. His appointment as special counsel indicates that, contrary to Biden’s defense lawyers’ claims, the Justice Department investigation into President Biden’s son is not over.
Garland said on Tuesday that Weiss told him that “in his judgment, his investigation has reached a stage at which he should continue his work as a special counsel, and he asked to be appointed.”
The thing is, Weiss is the one who offered Hunter the sweetheart plea deal. Hunter would plead guilty to tax evasion charges to avoid a federal gun charge.
It’s not just that. Weiss tried to slip past the court that the agreement included immunity for Hunter in any future prosecutions.
Thank goodness U.S. District Court Judge Maryellen Noreika saw through everything and told them as such.
Poster Comment:
Mike Rivero: Again, David Weiss is ineligible to be a Special Counsel. 28 CFR § 600.3 - Qualifications of the Special Counsel. "The Special Counsel shall be selected from outside the United States Government."
