Attorney General Merrick Garland announced Friday he is appointing a special counsel in the Hunter Biden probe, deepening the investigation of the president’s son ahead of the 2024 election.
Garland said he is naming David Weiss, the U.S. attorney in Delaware who has been probing the financial and business dealings of the president’s son, as the special counsel.
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.”
“Upon considering his request, as well as the extraordinary circumstances relating to this matter, I have concluded it is in the public interest to appoint him as special counsel,” Garland said.
The move is a momentous development from the typically cautious Garland and comes amid a pair of sweeping Justice Department probes into Donald Trump, the former president, and President Joe Biden’s chief rival in next year’s election. It comes as House Republicans are mounting their own investigation into Hunter Biden’s business dealings.

They're not even hiding it anymore.
More coverup. The special counsel isn’t even needed. They already have all the evidence. The only problem is the sweetheart deal fell apart because of the judge. Now they get to judge shop again because this will be a new deal.
Not really independent. Another sweep it under the rug appointment.
Weiss- isn’t that the guy that gave crackhead hunter the sweetheart plea deal??
“I’m sorry, I can’t appear before your committee, Mr. Comer, this matter is part of an ongoing investigation...”
They have had the laptop 4 years.
Bwahahahaha. Nothing more than a cover up. Also, like was said an attempt to thwart the Congressional oversight.
The investigation frozen/buried.
No testimony before congress on the matter.
All tied up in “AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION”.
In other news, fox appointed to investigate henhouse
Weisssssssssssssss!
(Sorry, had a Rocky Horry Picture Show flashback there)
What a SCAM!
Same guy that already worked the sweetheart plea deal for Bidens.
Some “independent” special counsel!
Yep.
David Weiss, Prosecutor Who Gave Hunter Biden Sweetheart Plea Deal, Says He’s Willing To Testify
I thought it was telling that Wiess (Biden’s Delaware homeboy) requested and Garland made him the special counsel.
Yup
The Special Counsel will act as road block after road block to the House committees saying they have standing and not Congress.
Plain as the nose on my face.
Where historically ,
evidence against
the deep state District of Cartels members
goes to be lost,
hammered into pieces,
classified
and redacted.
. oh boy i feel reassured now /s
And of course there won’t be any death threats or anything like that on Weiss. That right there is the “tell”.
Yes, and now it's
Full banana republic.
LOL LOL the writing is on the wall, just watch, they will do their “Investigation” AKA< cover up and at the end of their lil bogus investigation they will come out and say “Though unethical, nothing here rises to criminality so no charges will be filed” and the commie media will say “see, the Biden family are good folks this case is closed”
Few things would edify the American electorate as would a Congressional fight with DOJ on this matter.
