paulinstl 296 Posted August 11, 2023 Attorney General Merrick Garland appoints a special counsel in the Hunter Biden probe | AP News Good deal. Let's find out. This is why you appoint a Special Counsel, to get to the truth. Smart move, right call. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Strike 5,185 Posted August 11, 2023 What a load of crap. He appointed David Weiss, the same attorney already working the case and who's office tried to weasel in a special deal for Hunter. He's compromised. This impedes congress' investigation. If they really wanted to "get to the truth" they would have appointed a NEW person as special counsel. That's the whole point of a special counsel. To have someone both sides are happy with performing an independent investigation. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paulinstl 296 Posted August 11, 2023 And Congress is still going to do an investigation. In every Special Counsel investigation, there has been cooperation between both investigations. This might be the best chance to find out the truth. It is convenient that the MAGAs already have reasons to blame this investigation if it turns out to show Biden had no part in his son's actions.

This is the same type of investigation that Garland has issued for Trump. You can't have it both ways. David Axelrod did a fluff piece on Nancy Pelosi. Greasing the wheel, so to speak. Gavin Newsom and Nancy Pelosi go hand in hand in politics. Everyone knows that. It's not a huge secret anywhere. The ONLY reason the majority of the MSM is even covering the Biden scandal and criticizing him now in public is because Axelrod ( as a front for Obama) wants Newsom to win the DNC ticket for 2024 POTUS. That's it. Otherwise these scandals would be buried. The DOJ is driven by public opinion. Public opinion is driven by what they see in the MSM and on Big Social Media. This is why the assassination attempt of SCOTUS Kavanaugh got little to no real coverage. It was wholly suppressed as much as possible by most of the MSM.

I have stated from the start and quoted myself saying it over the last few weeks over in the Biden thread. We will not get the same treatment for Biden as we are with Trump. The SP over with Trump is ramming it through with ferocity, doing what he can to ensure the investigation impedes the Trump election. Now, watch what we get with this one.....it will not be the same. The DOJ will work to protect Joe Biden at all costs. They even chose Wiess as the special prosecutor .....removing him from any potential testimony....very clever.

They have no restraint in terms of the buse of, or sense of obligation to, the spirit let alone the letter of law. And in their minds the actions are justified because anyone else with an opposing idea is evil.....so they empower themselves to do anything.... Keep in mind, if they had not set this up.....Comer was going to start calling people in to the room to testify.....this had to be done to protect the Bidens and others.

Dizkneelande 1,085 Posted August 11, 2023 Let me get this straight, the guy who colluded with Hunter's lawyers to write a sweetheart deal of all-time, who never seemed interested in pursuing the case, only complained it was out of his hands, is now, out of nowhere, going to suddenly be granted Special Prosecutor, which will keep everyone in the "investigation" sealed and off-limits until after 2024, right?
