Republican senators want special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden
Washington Examiner ^ | 10/27/2020 | Kerry Picket, Senior Campaign Reporter

An increasing amount of Republican senators say Attorney General William Barr should appoint a special counsel to investigate allegations surrounding business dealings by Hunter Biden.

In the final weeks of the presidential election, Republicans have increasingly focused on Biden, son of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. Rudy Giuliani, President Trump's personal attorney, claims to have obtained Hunter Biden’s private emails, photos, and texts from a Delaware computer repairman and given them to the New York Post.

Tony Bobulinski, an ex-business partner of Hunter Biden, revealed at a press conference Thursday night in Nashville, immediately before Joe Biden debated Trump, that he would be turning over three cellphones to the FBI on Friday.

Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn, a member of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s leadership team, told the Washington Examiner, “Well, I think I'm not a big fan of special counsels, but I'm worried if Trump loses the election, then that will all be just swept under the rug.”

Sen. Ron Johnson, chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said the panel that has been investigating the matter echoed Cornyn's comments.

"I'm not a fan of special counsels. In this case. It might be the only solution to make sure that we finally get to the bottom of this," Johnson told the Washington Examiner. "Again, it all depends on the election result, but that might be appropriate in this situation."

Wrong investigation. The special counsel investigation should be for the fake Russian collusion and the fake dossier. The FBI shroud be the target.

If I had been disappointed about Democrats facing justice for 4 years (well...much longer) I might be excited.

Why pussyfoot around saying it’s about Hunter Biden when it involves the entire Biden crime family?

Tell them to go pound sand.

The only purpose for a special conceal is to cover things up. I have never seen one do anything useful. Including Ken Star. And they take years to do nothing except gather all the evidence so they can create a fake story and hide the truth. They are their to protect politicians. In the mean time no one can investigate anything even closely related because the SC has the power to claim that everything is part of their investigation just like Muller did. His job was to obstruct and delay Trump.

It is the job of the DOJ to handle these things.

They’ve had the info on Joe and Hunter since 2016.

Lindsey Graham lobbied four Republicans to vote with him and the Democrats to prevent Hunter from being subpoenaed.

This is Fake BS that Charlie Brown Idiots will line up to swallow.

Enough special investigators. They will pick 12 Dems to bury it for the next 3 years.

Well, if involves Wray....it certainly could be a cover up.

Lots of Congresspeeps probably on this Hunter/CCP dole.

I hope. Could go either way.

If they say anything to discredit the drops from HB’s computer (all those emails, documents), the left will scream for the next week it’s all CCP propaganda and the news will repeat the mantra 24/7.

But I hope for the best. The fact that the President said Biden would get some bad news in the morning gives me hope.
