BREAKING: Garland Caves, Appoints Special Counsel For Hunter Biden Probe
In a sudden and unanticipated move, Attorney General Merrick Garland has appointed a Special Counsel to oversee the Hunter Biden probe. This decision marks a significant turning point in the ongoing investigation, but there is a big catch: the appointee is U.S. Attorney David Weiss.
According to IRS whistleblowers, charges against Hunter Biden were mysteriously dropped by Weiss even after he approved them. Weiss also appeared to not have total authority in his investigation as he had previously led Congress to believe.
There are also allegations that Weiss hid damning evidence from investigators and that his office actively prevented its probe from exploring Joe Biden’s prospective role in his son’s business dealings.
Garland said on Friday, “Upon considering his request, as well as the extraordinary circumstances relating to this matter, I have concluded that it is in the public interest to appoint him as Special Counsel.”

"If Weiss had the authorities he needed, why does he need to be a special counsel? Do you still have faith in U.S. Attorney Weiss after the [Hunter Biden] deal fell apart?"

Attorney General Merrick Garland announces a special counsel for Hunter Biden has been appointed. Should have happened a long time ago. Judge Noreika is a hero. If she had agreed to the plea deal this would have never happened. The heat on the Biden crime family is growing.

Some are already questioning the legitimacy of the special counsel, given the loopholes the Biden DOJ has already gone through to protect Hunter. “This is fake and so now they can refuse to hand over documents to Congress as there’s an “ongoing investigation,” wrote Mike Cernovich.
Testimony by whistleblowers within the IRS who were on the team probing Hunter Biden state that their investigation was hamstrung by politics from the top and that previously approved charges were mysteriously not present in the charging of the president’s son.
These whistleblowers also observed that the man tasked with investigating Hunter Biden, U.S. Attorney David Weiss, only had limited powers and jurisdiction despite failed attempts to obtain greater authority.
There is also the matter of the uncomfortably close ties that the Biden family had with one of the prosecutors in Weiss’s office. Another questionable act that occurred during the course of the investigation was that the Biden transition team was tipped off ahead of a planned interview with Hunter Biden with FBI and IRS agents.
The team managed to shut down this interview before it began, and Hunter would never be interviewed. The president’s son was also tipped off ahead of a search of his storage unit.
According to their testimony, the DOJ frequently delayed proceedings, lacked transparency and defended Hunter against tax liability claims despite clear evidence.
