I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

So, despite mounting evidence that Hunter Biden committed major crimes and used his father's influence to grift money from foreign actors in Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan and China (with 10 percent for 'the big guy') David Weiss, DOJ lawyer, signed off on a sweetheart plea deal that was so godawful a Fderal judge rejected it.

THAT guy - David Weiss - has been assigned as Special Counsel to 'investigate' Biden family corruption!

There are three problems with this:

Special Counsels are NOT suppsed to be drawn from the ranks of working Federal government employees. David Weiss is still, in fact, working for the DOJ/

Weiss has already shown himself to be significantly biased in favor of the Bidens.

As Special Counsel, he can no longer be questioned by the House Committee, in effect shielding him from their investigation.

When justice is blatantly perverted - and that's happened a LOT whenever the Clintons and Bidens and Trump are concerned - I realize just how far we've sunk to third-world status.

Fair comparisons would be to Pakistan and Brazil.

Why Republicans Soured on the Special Counsel Investigating Hunter Biden

Some even demanded that a specific man be named to lead the inquiry: David C. Weiss, the Trump-appointed Delaware U.S. attorney who has long investigated the case.

But the announcement also gives President Biden and Mr. Garland some political cover against Republican accusations that Mr. Trump is a victim of a two-tier system of justice, placing the investigation outside the normal workings of the Justice Department. It could also undercut Republican arguments that an impeachment inquiry of the president is necessary.

“In the near term, it gives Republicans the ability to say it legitimizes what they’ve been looking into and it helps give more momentum to their different oversight activities,” said Michael Ricci, a former top communications official to two Republican House speakers and a current fellow at Georgetown University’s Institute of Politics and Public Service. “But in the longer term, the White House will absolutely use this as an argument against any kind of rush into impeachment.”

On Friday, after Mr. Garland elevated Mr. Weiss to special counsel status, Republicans in Congress reacted publicly not with triumph, but with outrage. “David Weiss can’t be trusted and this is just a new way to whitewash the Biden family’s corruption,” Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee wrote on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.

The reaction was a notable political development, one that underscored how deeply it has become ingrained in the G.O.P. to oppose the Justice Department at every turn. But in interviews, away from social media and television appearances, the reaction of many Republicans to Mr. Weiss’s appointment was more nuanced. Privately, some in the G.O.P. were chalking up the development as a victory.

The party had worked for years to elevate the Hunter Biden case — which Democrats have long dismissed as a partisan obsession of the right — to a scandal equivalent to those dogging former President Donald J. Trump, who has three indictments totaling 78 felony counts against him.

By contrast, Hunter Biden has thus far been accused of two misdemeanor crimes stemming from his failure to pay taxes on more than $1.5 million in income related to his overseas business deals, and one felony count of illegally possessing a firearm while being a drug user. Republicans have accused him and his family of corruption. But they have not produced evidence that any of the overseas money went to President Biden or that the president influenced U.S. policy to benefit his son’s business partners.

Even as they objected to Mr. Weiss, some Republicans said the appointment appeared to be an acknowledgment that the allegations they had made deserved a serious investigation. It promised to keep Hunter Biden’s misdeeds in the news and it ensured that in the minds of some voters the names Trump and Biden would both be linked to scandal, even if Republicans have not proved any wrongdoing by the current president.

In an interview with Newsmax, a top Trump adviser, Jason Miller, appeared to echo both sentiments, and foreshadowed coming attacks.

House Republicans close to Mr. Trump acknowledged they were pleased with the announcement of the special counsel. For Mr. Trump, in particular, it provided him with the investigation he has long desired to be able to depict the Biden family as corrupt, even as Hunter Biden’s alleged crimes are significantly less severe than the charges Mr. Trump is facing.

Mr. Trump’s statement did not suggest that he viewed the appointment of a special counsel as a bad development, merely that it had come late, something his advisers also argued in private.

Perhaps no longer ' independent' as originally plan and intend. It's a circus now, subverted with a deep state bureaucracy.

That Special Sexual Investigation Hollyweird Masonic Counsel the 'LIAR' aka lawyer appointed to investigate, and potentially not prospectus prosecution maybe put on a clownshow and prosecute then not a prosecute...the show must go on then a conclusion for unity party and one! Put on a stage show for a particular case of 'suspected' doings maybe wrongdoing or normal doing for which a conflict of interest exists, Kennedy was shot but special Council help get rdi of Nixon with Watergate...Tricky Dick was corrupt but then after they get Masonic dumbass Ger Ford in and a globalist elite snake oil sales family the Rockefeller, before this it was bans on Booze and Whiskey Ring or the idiot or Theodore Roosevelt years, not a terrible President but not the Greatest either and he wanted to be part of the big boys elite club. As stupid as Special Counsel has been I think it was useful investigations into the Iran–Contra affair... also impeachment of Bill Clinton over the Lewinsky scandal but then all is distracted, he finds a dictator in Europe and the focus taken away as he bombs the Serbs...debates and bureaucratic shows and Lawfare, many years ago they asked Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?.

Republican Senators wanted David Weiss as a special counsel, but once he was appointed they didn't want him because they are whiny babies. The MSM should report that whininess.

There will benot investigation, just as there has never been.

The Fake Appointment of Fake Special Counsel has 3 primary purposes.

1. to continue to delay any investigation until all of the remaining Statutes of Limitations have expired. Most of them already expired with the current delays, but some are still left.

2. To give Libtard Biden toadie Weiss protection from Congressional subpeona and testimony.

3. To prevent Congress from performing effective oversight investigation. They have been dragging their feet all this time, and now it has cost them - Obiden's handlers have outwitted the RINOs.

There will be no investigation.
Anybody who claims the opposite is obviously Fake News.

3.1 Billion dollars Comrade signym. You guys do not care about this. And that shows how corrupt and stupid you are. And unlike Hunter Biden who never worked for the government, Jared Kushner worked in the White House.

So, join with Jack and send Trump the Billionaire money moron. Then when Jared has lawyers to pay you morons can send him money as well.

Oh yeah, so far Trump is charged with 78 felonies not counting what Georgia is going to charge him with. If found guilty of one it is a life sentence. I'll say that again. If found guilty of one felony, considering his age, he gets a life sentence.
