Attorney General Garland appoints a special counsel in Hunter Biden probe
2023-08-11
[MSN] The Official Cover-up starts. David Weiss "Trump-Appointedâ„¢" is the- Special Prosecutor. Now everything can be covered up because it's an "ongoing investigation" that will end in nothing but a pardon by the POTATUS.
U.S. Attorney David Weiss will be appointed special counsel in the ongoing probe of the president's son Hunter Biden, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced Friday.

Weiss will be responsible for the "ongoing investigation" of President Joe Biden's son "as well as for any other matters that arose or may arise from that investigation," the Justice Department said in a statement. Weiss, who was already overseeing the Hunter Biden probe and is based in Delaware, asked to be appointed special counsel on Tuesday and Garland agreed it was "in the public interest" to do so, the attorney general said.

DOJ noted that Weiss was nominated by then-President Donald Trump in 2017 and confirmed by the Republican-controlled Senate in 2018.

#3  I think this was the trigger for this Special Counsel move by DoJ. The squeeze on the Biden family undoubtedly enraged Jojo, and the optics were beginning to overcome the Trump-Trump-Trump drumbeat!

From the Hill: "House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) said that his committee, which has been investigating the foreign business dealings of President Biden’s family members, will eventually move to subpoena the Biden family — a move Comer hinted could include the president himself."

#1  "Ongoing investigation", evidence seizure, gag-orders, witness "intimidation", all the tools of the DoJ rope-a-dope will now come into play to suppress reporting and coverage prior to 2024 election cycle. Everyone knows it's BS, but it gives cover to demokrat politicians on-the-stump and the MSM/social media propagandists. Additionally, some smart lawfare expert needs to chime in on how this might be used as a deflection/5th amendment tool for the Biden-family subpoenas planned by the Comer House Committee?
