Attorney General Merrick Garland has appointed David Weiss as a Special Counsel to investigate Hunter Biden. Weiss is the Federal Prosecutor who has looked into Hunter Biden’s tax affairs for years and was willing to cut him a sweetheart deal that let him off with misdemeanors only. That deal fell apart in court recently when the Judge asked piercing questions about the propriety of the deal. Now, Garland makes the same prosecutor the “Special Prosecutor” to investigate Hunter.
It’s murky what is going on here. This could just be the Biden Justice Department’s way of covering for Hunter. Weiss can avoid answering questions of Congress because of the “ongoing investigation.” He’ll drag it out for months and then issue a report before the election next year saying Joe Biden had nothing to do with Hunter’s dealings. That is one possibility. It also could mean they are getting ready to push Joe out as Democratic nominee in favor of someone else – like Gavin Newsom. It will be interesting to see.
