Tucker Carlson reports DOJ hired ex-business partner of Hunter Biden criminal defense attorney
washington examiner ^ | 1/29/2021 | daniel Chaitin

Fox News host Tucker Carlson reported a former business partner of Hunter Biden's criminal defense attorney has been picked as a top Justice Department official in President Biden's new administration.

It has already been revealed that Nicholas McQuaid, a former federal prosecutor, was picked as acting chief of the Justice Department’s criminal division. Hunter Biden confirmed in early December, after his father won the 2020 election, he was under federal investigation.

Carlson said on his show Friday night that McQuaid worked with Christopher Clark as partners at Latham & Watkins and worked on cases together right until McQuaid took the job at the Justice Department.

"On Jan. 21st of this year, the same day Nicholas McQuaid was featured in the justice Department press release, Latham & Watkins filed a motion in court to withdraw McQuaid as an attorney [in a case] he was working on with Christopher Clark. So that means Joe Biden put at the head of the criminal division the partner of the guy his son had hired to defend him against the criminal division. Whoa," Carlson said.

"We reached out to the justice Department for a comment on this," Carlson added. "They refused to say whether McQuaid would recuse himself for matters involving Hunter Biden and his former partner, who is representing Hunter Biden. It's all pretty amazing. Another reminder, there's a lot going on within the Biden family."

In a statement shared in a December press release from the Biden transition team, which announced that the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Delaware reached out to Hunter Biden's legal counsel the day before, the younger Biden said, "I am confident that a professional and objective review of these matters will demonstrate that I handled my affairs legally and appropriately, including with the benefit of professional tax advisors."

I doesn’t matter.

I am sure he will be ruthlessly prosecuted.

Might even be fined $100.00

If you missed TUCKER CARLSON’S dynamite show tonight (1/28), here’s a link. If he keeps calling out these radical Marxist creeps, I fear for him.

Incredible. Despite the titular head of the Administration being unable to string two sentences together or knowing what he had for dinner, this outfit is more corrupt from one end to another than the Clinton and 0bama administrations were, put together. (even though a lot of the same people ‘served’ in all three Administrations).

But.....didn’t Tucker say he wasn’t going to report on Hunter any more? After the Big Steal he said he was backing off reporting on his good friend, Hunter???

I fear for you if you think anyone at FAUX is going to call out any marxist/Democrats.

How and who did he call out exactly? Some no-name crooked lawyer?

Hunter's friend Tucker Carlson is a fake media fraud.

Hunter is a worthless shiny distraction fools have been trained to focus on.

Sorry you fell for it.

Corruption pays very well under Biden and the Democrats. Trump should have fired every top DOJ official from the Obama regime because he should have known (or his advisors should have) that they were corrupt as hell.

It is just a family affair.

Trumps friends and family were deeply involved too. Just ...well...most of them were wanting to MAGA

Your Omnipotence, Oh wise and all-seeing one, please advice those of us of lesser intellect and perspicacity a link to your most active social media site so that we of lesser intellect might avail our unworthy selves of the brilliance of your superior insights.
