Attorney General Merrick Garland announced the appointment of David Weiss (currently US Attorney for Delaware) as Special Counsel to investigate affairs pertinent to Hunter Biden the son of the President.
This is all a head fake. Allow me to tell you why.
The plea deal that got away
The DOJ/FBI claim they have been investigating Hunter Biden for five years. Fair minded people are skeptical as to whether this is indeed true. It is implied that this investigation included a laptop Hunter Biden left unclaimed at a computer repair joint in Delaware the contents of which were ill-advised, inflammatory and contained evidence of gobs of illegal behavior all across the US <<< drugs, sex, hookers, fake business expenses, and a myriad of other things including vast sums of money derived from the overseas operations of the Biden Family Brand.
This “thorough investigation” resulted in a plea deal in which the DOJ agreed to a probation only sentence for two tax charges and a deferred hand gun violation which could have earned Hunter a ten-year sentence.
This arrangement was overseen and arrived at by the same David Weiss, US Attorney, who has now been appointed Special Counsel.
The plea deal blew up, Big Red Car?
The plea deal blew up when the Judge asked questions and didn’t like the answers.
1. The sweetheart deal gave Hunter a get-out-of-jail-free card and a “no harm, no foul” deferred gun charge if he kept his nose clean for a short period of time — two years.
2. When asked by the Judge if this ended the investigation into Hunter, the Feds/DOJ said, “Well, no, Your Honor” which triggered a fit from Hunter’s lawyers as they believed it was a comprehensive settlement of everything past and present including any dental work.
3. The Big Blow Up was based Article 15 of the Diversion Agreement which said in part:
Agreement Not to Prosecute.
15. The United States agrees not to criminally prosecute Biden, outside the terms of this agreement, for any federal crimes encompassed by the attached Statement of Facts (Attachment A) and the Statement of Facts attached as Exhibit 1 to the Memorandum of Plea Agreement filed this same day.
4. Clearly the Agreement extended the get-out-of-jail card to all offenses pertinent to Hunter Biden.
5. The Judge was irked because the “Agreement Not to Prosecute” was in the diversion agreement over which she had no authority rather than the plea agreement that she had to approve.
Funny how that happened.
When queried as to whether he had ever seen such an odd arrangement, the prosecutor said, “Well, no I never have.”
6. With fresh powder burns on his ugly mug, Hunter Biden then pled “not guilty” and the DOJ in the person of US Attorney/Special Counsel David Weiss has now said this matter is likely to end up at trial. Yawn. Sorry. I just don’t believe it.
So, what’s the head fake, Big Red Car?
Here are the troubling issues — the head fakery:
1. By appointing a Special Counsel, the Attorney General has essentially blinded the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into all things Hunter Biden just as they were getting interesting.
The DOJ/FBI/IRS and others can refuse to cooperate as there is a “ongoing investigation” just as the House Oversight Committee is finding critical evidence.
2. Special Counsel David Weiss is the same guy who blessed the original sweetheart deal. Why would he end up this time with anything else?
3. The DOJ/FBI has supposedly been investigating this matter for five years; what the Hell do they expect to find now?
4. A Special Counsel is supposed to be someone from outside the government. The key words from the statute are: “The Special Counsel shall be selected from outside the United States Government.”
Clearly, US Attorney David Weiss does not come from “outside the United States Government.”
Bottom line it, Big Red Car
US Attorney General Merrick Garland has cynically appointed as Special Counsel the same man, US Attorney for Delaware David Weiss, who arrived at the sweetheart Hunter Biden plea arrangement and diversion agreement.
This will chill and stall the House Oversight Committee investigation.
This Special Counsel — who has supposedly been investigating Hunter Biden for five years — will delay the report until long after the November 2024 election. Surprised?
This is all just a scornful, mocking political farce to prevent the public from learning of the magnitude of the Biden Family Brand corruption before the election.
But, hey, what the Hell do I really know anyway? I’m just a Big Red Car.
