Attorney General Merrick Garland’s announcement that he was granting special counsel status to U.S. Attorney David Weiss is quite obviously a response to the indictment of Trump, the IRS whistleblowers, and to a Delaware judge calling out the slap on the wrist that the DOJ had colluded to grant Hunter Biden.
IRS whistleblowers had testified that Weiss had been denied the authority to charge Hunter Biden in the relevant jurisdictions by local U.S. Attorneys who were Biden appointees.
Garland, the Justice Department, and Weiss denied this (albeit in very selective ways) and the media cheered.

Now Garland has announced that Weiss will have special counsel status.
Previously, according to Garland, Weiss could have charged Hunter Biden in any jurisdiction anyway. (A claim which is factually not true.) But if that was true, then why grant him special counsel status now?
As a practical matter, it’s meaningless.
Whatever Weiss might have done, he had already sold out. His response to the IRS whistleblowers demonstrated that much. Dragging the Hunter Biden matter through a more extended staged fight will ultimately have the same conclusion. It’ll just be more of a show. This time the fine may be bigger and an extended open-ended investigation, which hurtful to Hunter, will keep the matter out of the hands of Congress.
Weiss, having proven himself, will now get to be a special counsel and run out the clock.

“…bigger and an extended open-ended investigation, which hurtful to Hunter, will keep the matter out of the hands of Congress.”
And that is the objective. Period.

As expected. Thanks Daniel!!!

Actually I didn’t expect Garland to be that obvious, but leave it to the left to smash all reasonable expectations.

Another hoax.
Special Councils are brought in from the outside. This is done to assure the perception of impeccable independence.
Weiss’s submission to the court looks a trick, an attempt at fraud upon the court. Weiss’s attempted fast one in the plea submission, his stalling till prosecutable offenses are time lapsed appear prosecutable offenses themselves.
Special Council? Not a defendant?
What happened to the impeccable independence? Where’s the non corrupt outsider?
Attorney General Garland merits impeachment. Or is Constitutional governance over?
Ugly Sid says
Further I suggest the tolling of the running of the Statute of Limitations due to fraudulent conspiracy between Weiss and the defendant.
Then both can be prosecuted, as defendants for the same conspiracy charge. Garland looks “good for it” too. Maybe they can all be cellmates.

Yes, the Constitution is dead. The nation needs to prepare itself.

The operative word is WHORE.

The special counsel head-fake as to Hunter Biden shows that the D.O.J. get-Trump lynch mob is actually a tag team. Trump’s response: Supersede this!
World@70 says
Biden should be investigated and impeached, but he won’t.
Hunter should be put in jail, but he won’t.
Merrick Garland should be impeached, but he won’t.
Christopher Wray should be fired, but he won’t.
The FBI should be investigated, but they won’t.
John Brenan Should be investigated, but he won’t.
Nancy Pelosi should be investigated for J-6, but she won’t.
The entire DNC should be investigated for ethics violations, but they won’t.
So many people and so much corruption my comment could be 7 pages long all ending in, but they won’t.
Our country needs someone with integrity coupled with lots of pure guts and a love for America.

Now,”Bite Me’s”DOJ is on STEROIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The reason Weiss was given “special council” status NOW, was to immunize him from testifying before congressional committees involved in their own investigation of the Biden crime family.. Up until now, the Biden Admin. was STONEWALLING all congressional investigations, with the purpose of delaying charges until……
It’s also been shown that the crimes the special council was tasked on investigating Hunter — HAS ALREADY PASSED THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. He can NEVER be charged as a result of the ‘special council’s investigations!
It’s a whitewash/coverup. strategy with one purpose, and one purpose alone… to PROTECT JOE BIDEN!
