Why Merrick Garland Must Appoint a Special Counsel to Investigate the Bidens

It is now clear, after the appointment of new attorney general, Merrick Garland, that he must, not may, appoint a Special Counsel to investigate Hunter Biden in public corruption matters that may substantially involve his father.

This is especially clear now that it is known, contrary to his fervent denials, that Joe Biden met with Hunter’s corrupt Ukrainian and Russian clients at least once at Café Milano in Washington, D.C. There are likely more meetings, but once is enough. He also met at length in the White House with Hunter’s partner, Devon Archer, as the two were pitching their services to the corrupt Burisma Holdings, as it was being targeted by a joint UK/US task force. As a result, they scored a deal in which they each received $1 million annually in fees, plus other lobbying and legal fees. More strikingly, an email from Hunter on his laptop states without ambiguity he was paying his father half of his fees. He need do that, of course, only if Joe was in on the game.

Why, you may ask, would this Special Counsel appointment be required if former Attorney General William Barr, clearly on the other side of the political fence, determined that such an appointment was not appropriate? That question answers itself. Barr had no “political connection” with either Biden, and therefore the Special Counsel statute, 28 C.F.R. §600.1, would not apply.

However, there can be no doubt but that Garland has a clear political connection to President Joe Biden. Garland was nominated to the Supreme Court by the Obama/Biden administration. The more obvious, inarguable connection is Biden’s appointment of Garland as attorney general.

The applicable statute requires the appointment of a Special Counsel if there is a conflict of interest:

Neither the laws nor the will of the people are in play here. This is America. Powerful people do as they please and that’s that.

Special Counsels are by nature a partisan process which should be eliminated, they rarely if ever fully investigate what they originally were created to do...they cost a lot of money and do nothing..

So NO a Special Counsel should not be appointed because it will produce no meaningful results...

Not holding my breath. Garland will say, as he did so many times during his confirmation: “I am not familiar with this case, It all happened before I became AG. See nothing, hear nothing, know nothing. Case closed.”

Yeah, well, Jill Biden “must” put her husband in an Alzheimers memory care unit.
So many “musts”, so little reality.

It is irrational to think anything that Garland would do would have anything to do with the truth or justice. Garland is a criminal running the nation’s largest criminal enterprise. The Justice Department needs to be shuttered and reconstituted in a much smaller form with a very limited scope. No current or previous employee of DOJ should be employed in its new incarnation. This is just one small step of many required to make America great again.
