As you now know, earlier today Attorney General Merrick Garland made an announcement regarding Hunter Biden:
"Attorney General Merrick Garland announced the appointment of Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss as a Special Counsel to investigate Hunter Biden. The news comes two weeks after Biden's plea deal, previously handed down by Weiss' office, fell apart in federal court after a judge discovered a broad immunity clause for future charges buried in the agreement -- including felony violations of the Foreign Agent Registration Act. "
Weiss, eh?
George Washington University law professor John Turley leads us off by noting how convenient that is for Weiss when it comes to House Republican investigators:
Jonathan Turley (@JonathanTurley) ~ ... The problem with Garland's announcement does not seem to expand the mandate from a narrow focus on Hunter as opposed to the broader Biden corruption scandal. The initial impact is to insulate Weiss from calls for testimony before Congress.
CBS News' Catherine Herridge also made note of the convenient coincidence in Garland naming Weiss as special counsel:
Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) ~ @CBS_Herridge on Garland suddenly naming Weiss special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden: "It is an extraordinary turn of events when you consider ... just a few wks ago...there was an effort by both the prosecutors and Hunter Biden's defense team to wrap up this ... case w/a bow."

Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) ~ CBS_Herridge sniffs out the possibility that AG Garland names David Weiss a special counsel to "delay a resolution on the Hunter Biden matter" and keep Weiss from testifying before members of Congress about what he found in his investigations thus far.

Because it's the Biden DOJ we're talking about, every move they make, even ones that might on the surface seem bad for the Bidens, needs to be viewed with the utmost skepticism that "justice" is the end goal here.

Jim Pfaff (@jimpfaff) ~ This is a delay tactic, as I said. This is injustice, not justice.
Shouldn't the Biden DOJ be dropping some fresh Trump indictments right about now?
