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.
Hunter ended up pleading not guilty to the tax evasion charges.
The government also admitted to Noreika that it still had Hunter under federal investigation.
Garland confirmed that during his press conference with the appointment of Weiss.
But is the DOJ really still investigating Hunter? I would believe it if the DOJ didn’t appoint Weiss.
Appointing Weiss is beyond ridiculous. Just when you think the administration couldn’t get more obvious that it covers up everything they do something like this.
Weiss thinks anyone can trust him to be a special counsel and Garland agreed.
Weiss’s actions with the deal and trying to sneak it past Noreika is the reason why the probe needs a special counsel.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan went off on Weiss’s appointment: “David Weiss can’t be trusted and this is just a new way to whitewash the Biden family’s corruption. Weiss has already signed off on a sweetheart plea deal that was so awful and unfair that a federal judge rejected it. We will continue to pursue facts brought to light by brave whistleblowers as well as Weiss’s inconsistent statements to Congress.”
But the DOJ also filed “to dismiss the Hunter Biden plea deal case in Delaware.”
The DOJ said since Hunter pled not guilty, they will have a trial. The trial cannot take place in Delaware because it doesn’t have jurisdiction:
“On June 20, 2023, the United States filed a criminal information charging the Defendant with two counts of failure to pay taxes, in violation of 26 U.S.C. § 7203. ECF 2. Venue for these offenses does not lie in Delaware. Rather, venue for these offenses and any other related tax offenses lies either in the Central District of California or in the District of Columbia,” the filing also says.”The information was filed in this District because the parties had previously agreed that the Defendant would waive any challenge to venue and plead guilty in this District. However, during the July 26, 2023, hearing that the Court set on this matter, the Defendant pled not guilty,” it adds. “Since that time, the parties have engaged in further plea negotiations but are at an impasse. The Government now believes that the case will not resolve short of a trial.”
