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.

Same club
Same shite
If I recall correct, Romney, Pelosi, an John Kerry’s kids left the firm because didn’t look right.
Make that, it didn’t smell right.
Bingo on the pardon angle.
Clay & buck onto that as possible out even if Biden were too lose the election
Better get someone with INTEGRITY, because our boys will have to turn over ALL THEIR EVIDENCE TO HIM/HER.
Clay & Buck with a good question
If Garland gave Weiss full authority why does he need to be “ special counsel”
Feels like some extra protection layer is afforded by that to supress subpoenas
And get information
SC MUST BE FROM OUTSIDE THE CURRENT GOVERNMENT!!GROUP IMPEACHMENT!!
Well, that’s convenient. Now, no further information can be provided as the matter is under investigation. No more info for you House committee!
They’re going to nominate Newsom.
No impeachment because Harris would run and lose in 2024.
LOL. now they can slow walk everything past the election. They are completely transparent, and not in a good way.
Perhaps.
Total sham. Weiss is not allowed to be Special Counsel. It has to be someone outside of government.
First official as SC, dropping all charges.
With the implication that charges could be filed in the future.
Maybe.
But only after more years of ongoing investigation and embargoing all evidence and witnesses away from Congressional access.
“act”

In a press conference today, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced he will be appointing a new special counsel, David C. Weiss, to investigate the Biden’s and then cover up all their crimes.
“I have given Mr. Weiss full power and authority to investigate Hunter Biden and the Biden family. We must conduct a thorough investigation so we can know which crimes to sweep under the rug,” said Garland. “After a thorough inquiry, Mr. Weiss will be in charge of destroying all evidence, bringing no serious charges, and granting Hunter Biden immunity forever. He is a man of the utmost integrity and I trust him to do this job to the best of his ability.”
The new Special Council will be given access to all damning evidence of corruption and bribery against the President, which he will retain and then destroy. All remaining witnesses will then be invited to a surprise paddle-boarding party at the President’s beach estate.
