Distrustful Republicans rip Hunter Biden special counsel appointment
House and Senate Republicans ripped Attorney General Merrick Garland’s decision to appoint a special counsel in the Hunter Biden probe.www.yahoo.com
WASHINGTON — House and Senate Republicans on Friday ripped Attorney General Merrick Garland’s decision to appoint U.S. Attorney David Weiss as the special counsel in the ongoing investigation into Hunter Biden.
Republicans accused Weiss of signing off on a “sweetheart deal” with the president’s son and suggested that he was appointed as special counsel to inhibit congressional investigations into the Bidens and to avoid testifying before Congress.
“This action by Biden’s DOJ cannot be used to obstruct congressional investigations or whitewash the Biden family corruption,” Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said in a tweet. “If Weiss negotiated the sweetheart deal that couldn’t get approved, how can he be trusted as a Special Counsel? House Republicans will continue to pursue the facts for the American people.”
Nothing to see here folks. Just more of the same from the circus that never ends.
Can we smell the horse shit.....
And that September, more than 30 Senate Republicans sent a letter to Garland requesting he designate Weiss as a special counsel in the investigation.
“Given the politicization of the DOJ under your watch and the importance of avoiding any appearance of impropriety, the undersigned request that you provide U.S. Attorney Weiss the full protections and authorities of a special counsel,” the senators’ letter says. “This is one important action that you can take that will go a long way in restoring faith in our governmental institutions.”
