‘Special Counsel Shall be Selected from OUTSIDE the U.S. Government’ – Which Weiss Is Not – Federal Regulations Say
Cybercast News Service ^ | August 14, 2023 | Craig Bannister

“This is a sham. There is no special counsel investigation,” former chief assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew McCarthy explained Friday, after Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed U.S. Attorney David Weiss as special counsel to investigate First Son Hunter Biden’s dubious, multi-million dollar financial dealings with foreign actors.

Weiss, U.S. attorney in Delaware, has already tried to give Hunter Biden a sweetheart plea deal regarding tax violations — but, was prevented from doing so when a judge rejected the unprecedented deal.

The appointment of Weiss as special counsel isn’t just a sham, because of Weiss’ pro-Biden bias — it also violates federal regulations requiring special counsels to come from outside the federal government — McCarthy explained in an interview with Fox News: […] “The special counsel regulations, what makes a special counsel ‘special,’ is that you’re a lawyer who’s brought in from outside the United States government — not just outside the Justice Department — outside the government. This U.S. attorney is being appointed not withstanding that he is an attorney who is a top official in the Biden Justice Department and Garland made clear is going to continue to be a top official in the Biden Justice Department.” …

Violating the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) is generally considered a violation of the law in the United States. The CFR is a compilation of the general and permanent rules and regulations established by various federal agencies to implement and enforce the laws passed by Congress. These regulations have the force of law and are legally binding.

Andrew McCarthy is a defender of a corrupt law system that he financially benefited from so: “Cry me a river.”

Anybody with half a brain, knows Garland put Weiss in their for a cover-up, but McCarthy is like Barr, a parasite that covers for their favorite corrupt institution.

Also, the supposedly brilliant Constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley will vouch for the character of Garland and Smith, he thinks they’re swell guys and straight shooters.

Don’t worry, this is meant to drag out delays, and the ticking clock on several of the crimes will run-out before the court can hear the case.

Did/does Durham qualify in that respect?

Violating the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) is generally considered a violation of the law in the United States.

There’s no penalty for violating a regulation unless the action is contested by someone who is affected by it and therefore has legal standing to object to it. In this case, the only person who can legally contest this appointment is Hunter Biden.

Garland also appointed Weiss for another reason: Weiss is already a U.S. Attorney, so it doesn’t cost anything to make this move.

About one week ago, a federal judge ruled that prohibiting gun ownership because of illegal drug use is unconstitutional.

Yesterday, Hunter Biden's lawyers suddenly declared that the "no prison" agreement for Hunter's drug related perjury on a gun application still stands.

That was a very convenient - and timely - judicial decision!

I assume Hunter's story is now: "I would never have lied if I had known it was completely legal."

...it also violates federal regulations requiring special counsels to come from outside the federal government...

The American Communists who seized our country in 2020 really do not care about our Constitution and rule of law.

They are carrying on with their lawless disregard for the people as though they are not worried about losing power.

So, why wasn't this appointment immediately being challenged in court? Why hasn't Congress fast-tracked to the SCOTUS? The fractured R party is all talk and no action.

Sounds like we need to appoint a special counsel to investigate the appointment of a special counsel.

Biden wasn’t charged for gun ownership while a drug addict, he was charged with perjuring himself on the Form 4473.
