Hunter Biden attorney Christopher Clark is withdrawing from representing the president’s son in a Delaware probe indicates he could be a witness in coming challenges over the disintegration of the plea deal, which was concocted by Delaware’s prosecutor David Weiss.......after 5 years of investigating Hinter.
The Biden Justice Department moved to withdraw minutes after Biden Attorney General Merrick Garland elevated Delaware prosecutor David Weiss to serve as a “special counsel” (at Weiss’ request) in the matter......disregarding a rule stating a special counsel must be from outside govt.
It appears that the negotiation and drafting of Hunter’s plea agreement and the deal-breaking ‘diversion agreement’ will be contested.
“Mr. Clark is a percipient witness to those issues,” Clark wrote.

Excerpt——”The special counsel shall be selected from outside the United States government.” — Code of Federal Regulations, Title 28, Chapter VI, § 600.3(c).
This requirement is the law. The regulations were authorized by Congress under 5 U.S.C. 301, 509, 510, 515-519.The attorney general is the chief law enforcement officer of the United States. It is certainly expected that he would obey the law in its entirety.

There was no agreement. The judge proved that. Additionally, any “agreement” has to have a 3rd party (judge) also agreeing/approving the agreement. What a maroon. He just wants out. It hopefully gets messier.
Liz, as always, thanks for the pings.
