The Department of Justice (DOJ) intervened on behalf of Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss to respond to congressional inquiries related to its probe into the Biden family business, emails unearthed from a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit show.
The collaboration raises questions about if Weiss’ responses to congressional investigators were under the direction of the DOJ and if Weiss and the DOJ colluded to mislead Congress.

The Federalist reported:
Did the DOJ’s Office of Legislative Affairs respond to Sens. Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson’s May 9, 2022, letter seeking information concerning the Hunter Biden investigation? Weiss posed that question to one of his lead assistant U.S. attorneys, Shannon Hanson.
“Not to my knowledge,” Hanson replied, followed soon after with a second email noting that Joe Gaeta, the then-deputy assistant attorney general in the Office of Legislative Affairs, was working on a response. And although Grassley and Johnson had addressed their May 9, 2022, inquiry solely to Weiss, DOJ’s Office of Legislative Affairs would intercede on his behalf, responding in a letter dated June 9, 2022, that the DOJ would not respond to the questions posed.
The following month, Grassley and Johnson dispatched another letter requesting information related to the Hunter Biden investigation, addressing this letter to Weiss, as well as Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray. Again, the Office of Legal Counsel intervened, telling Weiss’s office in an email reviewed by The Federalist that it would “take the lead on drafting a response” to Grassley and Johnson’s letter.

Ok. And?
Are we having a preposition contest?
What are your thoughts about this, E?
I’ve been pondering what Congress can do with the illegitimate David Weiss. Here’s a proposal: Demand that Weiss be removed as Special Counsel AND placed on leave while he is investigated for corruption/obstruction, etc. Garland will of course refuse and do his usual song and dance. Defund Weiss’ office-completely! Then up the demand, Garland must go on leave for obstruction, corruption, illegal appointment of Special Counsel and everything else they can throw at him, Doesn’t comply? (Of course) Defund Washington Office-completely! So they move the obstruction operation elsewhere? Defund THAT office, too. Meanwhile, McCarthy applies to SCOTUS for relief due to the unusual circumstances of DOJ corruption and corruption of the executive branch that allows no recourse under current law. Ask SCOTUS to allow Congress to appoint unbiased counsel. Of course, it will get major pushback, but bold moves might save the Republic.

What’s Kevin McCarthy going to do about it?
Naw. I’m just worn out from all the evidence that will be ignored.
Bkmk
Special counsels are supposed to be appointed from outside government.
That ain’t Weiss.
This alone proves, as we all know, the fix was in from the very beginning.
TALK TALK TALK TALK...
NOTHING
Pass another continuing resolution, evidently.
It’s despicable they are on vacation while our country burns
