WASHINGTON ā House and Senate Republicans on Friday ripped Attorney General Merrick Garlandās 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 āsweetheart dealā with the presidentās son and suggested that he was appointed as special counsel to inhibit congressional investigations into the Bidens and to avoid testifying before Congress.
āThis action by Bidenās DOJ cannot be used to obstruct congressional investigations or whitewash the Biden family corruption,ā Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said in a tweet. āIf Weiss negotiated the sweetheart deal that couldnāt get approved, how can he be trusted as a Special Counsel? House Republicans will continue to pursue the facts for the American people.ā
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.
āGiven 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,ā the senatorsā letter says. āThis is one important action that you can take that will go a long way in restoring faith in our governmental institutions.ā
