Attorney General Merrick Garland announced the appointment of United States Attorney David Weiss as special counsel in the investigation of Hunter Biden yesterday. The Department of Justice has posted Garland’s statement here.
Why Weiss? That is a difficult question to answer honestly in public. Indeed, Garland took no questions — ignoring a reporter who asked why Weiss had been elevated to special counsel if he had “ultimate authority” to prosecute, as Garland claimed in sworn congressional testimony earlier this year.
Weiss is special. On that we can agree:
• Weiss is the “prosecutor” whose plea deal with Hunter Biden failed to pass muster with Judge Maryellen Noreika, the federal judge presiding over the case.
• “These agreements are not straightforward and they contain some atypical provisions,” Judge Noreika observed.
• Weiss is the “prosecutor” whom IRS whistleblowers have just called out for abetting the suppression of of the investigation and lying about his authority to Congress, among other things.
• Weiss is the “prosecutor” who has spent five years on the investigation and never gotten around to seeking an indictment of Hunter Biden as the clock has ticked to bar the most serious tax felonies Biden’s has committed.
• Weiss is a United States Attorney and therefore ineligible for special counsel appointment under the applicable regulations.
• Given his disqualifications, one might reasonably infer that Weiss’s appointment is a pretext to assure that the cover-up continues — that minimal harm befalls Hunter Biden and that no roads lead to Joe Biden.
• It’s good to know we have a law-abiding administration to restore regular order.
The first thought that occurred to me upon learning of Weiss’s appointment was what a farce. ***However, it isn’t funny and it does not promise a happy ending.

Because Weiss made the crooked plea deal with Humper and will whitewash this whole thing for President Retard and his bribery
That’s why
To protect Weiss. They need to go after that nasty thing, Lisa Wolff.
Because Weiss did a great job “aging off” the felony tax evasion charges from 2014-2015.
For the same reason why the left came out to defend him, they own his ass that’s why
This is largely unimportant.
This provides the GOPe some sort of cover in that they are anti Biden and excuses them for not taking action to stop all interference in the election via Trump prosecution.
These people are not Republicans. They are not conservatives. Conservatism has nothing to do with taxing and spending. It focuses entirely on draining the Swamp and Building the Wall.
Any pretend Republican who does not make those issues the focus of all his activities is a left wing progressive.
yup. Bought and paid for
Because he is already corrupted…
They wanted a trump judge so that’s who they chose. Very easy.
Problem 1: He works for the government. So violates law.
Problem 2. He has been a DNC lackey and coverup guy for the Biden’s
Problem 3. Blocks investigative power of Congress
Problem 4. He isn’t timely. He will run out statute of limitations on crimes.
Basically, it’s just another cover up and distract move that’s a result of bogus elections, propaganda media, out of control government.
Congress just needs to impeach Biden with the evidence they have, no point in trying to drag it out to sink Trump anymore. Nobody, and I mean Nobody with a two brain cells to rub together can not see through this. Just another deep state move. The people want control of the government, and they don’t want to give it up.
THAT and they're Synagogue blood brothers perhaps.
Because Weiss is a "made man" inside the Biden Crime Family?
Naming someone new exposes the Bidens. Omertà keeps Weiss' knowledge of the family business inside the family.

The Devil (Peter Cook) to the nerdy victim (Dudley Moore) in Bedazzled:
(asked why didn’t you do something bad to that vicar down there?)
“Him? Oh, he’s one of ours.”
It’s a giant “FU! And, what are you going to do about it?” to the American people.
Why Wiess?

Exactly. Why not? Is anyone going to do anything about it, like cut off funding to the DOJ/FBI like McCarthy could do on 1 October by simply refusing to pass any bill that funds the DOJ/FBI. Quite simply all the House republicans need to do is nothing. Absolutely nothing. Something very simple for their sorry deepstate swamp lazy RINO backsides. Yet they can’t even threaten to do that which they are very good at. N-O-T-H-I-N-G. Simple sweet nothing. Dolce Far Niente. Do sweet nothing.
Great post.
Asking our GOP leaders to develop courage, character and a sense of responsibility to the citizens is apparently too much.
