Whell, sometimes I think Repube pols are even dumber than you. I know, hard to believe, huh?
Timing is everything. Garland could have appointed a Special Counsel a year or more ago but he didn't. Now as more of the evidence against the Biden crime family is seeing the light of day, Garland decides its time to come to the party and appoint an SC.

If I had to guess, I suspect this is all about the Hunter Biden plea deal that crashed and burned, and not for the reason that your slanted article provides. The Justice Dept was forced to admit in front of a judge that the FARA case against Hunter was still on-going. That's a huge admission, and probably forced Garland's hand.

And where is this evidence that you speak of? In Comers head or Gym's jacket?

The evidence that's there but so well hidden that they can't find it. Maybe if they could only find a reliable whistleblower first? Whell seems to know where it's at so maybe he could share it with the new special council?

Amazing isn't it?

Three indictments handed to crooked TFG which includes 78 felony charges and total silence. On the other hand president Biden who I believe is doing a very good job leading the country, and instead of supporting or at the very least leave him alone, has to ward off "trumped" up charges and by extension absorb his son's legal entanglements. Now I know how Hillary felt from the "trumped" up Benghazi.

I am using the term 'trumped" up deliberately since all this is done in service of a crook that could not even manage a dog kennel let alone America, which he made far worse from his one term rather than better, or great as he promised.

MAGA my ass.

It appears there's sufficient evidence to trigger the appointment a special counsel...unless I'm imagining that too. (roll eyes)

One other point to ponder - can Weiss even serve as a SC in this case? He's a DOJ employee, correct?

https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-2...er-VI/part-600

An individual named as Special Counsel shall be a lawyer with a reputation for integrity and impartial decisionmaking, and with appropriate experience to ensure both that the investigation will be conducted ably, expeditiously and thoroughly, and that investigative and prosecutorial decisions will be supported by an informed understanding of the criminal law and Department of Justice policies. The Special Counsel shall be selected from outside the United States Government. Special Counsels shall agree that their responsibilities as Special Counsel shall take first precedence in their professional lives, and that it may be necessary to devote their full time to the investigation, depending on its complexity and the stage of the investigation.

But according to Chickie, I'm apparently too dumb to point something like this out.

Here is what I found and is factual reporting dated August 11, 2023.

Quote:
Attorney General Merrick B. Garland announced today the appointment of U.S. Attorney David Weiss to serve as Special Counsel for the ongoing investigation and prosecutions referenced and described in United States v. Robert Hunter Biden, as well as for any other matters that arose or may arise from that investigation. Mr. Weiss was nominated by the former president in 2017 and confirmed by the U.S. Senate in 2018. In 2021, he was asked to remain as U.S. Attorney for the District of Delaware, where he led this ongoing investigation. On Tuesday, Aug. 8, Mr. Weiss requested to be appointed as Special Counsel, and today the Attorney General made that appointment.

“On Tuesday of this week, Mr. Weiss advised me that in his judgment, his investigation has reached a stage at which he should continue his work as a Special Counsel, and he asked to be so appointed,” said Attorney General Garland. “Upon considering his request, as well as the extraordinary circumstances relating to this matter, I have concluded it is in the public interest to appoint him as Special Counsel. This appointment confirms my commitment to provide Mr. Weiss all the resources he requests. It also reaffirms that Mr. Weiss has the authority he needs to conduct a thorough investigation and to continue to take the steps he deems appropriate independently, based only on the facts and the law.”

The Attorney General also said, “As Special Counsel, he will continue to have the authority and responsibility that he has exercised previously to oversee the investigation and decide where, when, and whether to file charges. The Special Counsel will not be subject to the day-to-day supervision of any official of the Department, but he must comply with the regulations, procedures, and policies of the Department … Today’s announcement affords the prosecutors, agents, and analysts working on this matter the ability to proceed with their work expeditiously, and to make decisions indisputably guided only by the facts and the law … I am confident that Mr. Weiss will carry out his responsibility in an even-handed and urgent matter, and in accordance with the highest traditions of this Department.”
Sounds to me by the book. You notice that Mr. Weiss continued in his investigative role after President Biden assumed his office.

INDICTMENT COUNT: BIDEN FAMILY --> 0. TRUMP --> 78

Middle school or Glen Beck, no doubt.

Its like the dumber than rocks Freedumb Creatures dared Garland to appoint a Special Counsel, but they really did not expect him to do so. But then Garland double dared them and now their sham investigation will have to take a back seat to the DOJ investigation of Hunter and along with it immediate plans to "impeach" President Biden.

Poor Kev,he will now catch the ire of the treasonous moron while Bobo and MTG who are chomping at their bits are ready to take his head off. Poor poor Kev.

And how about giving equal treatment to Crooked Kushner?
Heard that George Conway is available if Garland is looking for another Republican Special Counsel.
