When I say my prayers tonight I’ll thank the baby Jesus, once again, that Garland isn’t a SCOTUS justice, albeit he’s effing things up at a high level as AG.

Love it:

Jake Tapper questions 'odd' special counsel appointment of David Weiss: 'Maybe the whistleblowers were right'

quote:

Apparently federal statute requires that Special Counsel be selected from outside the United States government.

Doesn't this guy work for the US government?

Seems to me his appointment isn't legal

https://www.ecfr.gov/current/t.../chapter-VI/part-600

quote:

§ 600.3 Qualifications of the Special Counsel.

(a) An individual named as Special Counsel shall be a lawyer with a reputation for integrity and impartial decision making, and with appropriate experience to ensure both that the investigation will be conducted ably, expeditiously and thoroughly, and that investigative and prosecutorial decisions will be supported by an informed understanding of the criminal law and Department of Justice policies. The Special Counsel shall be selected from outside the United States Government. Special Counsels shall agree that their responsibilities as Special Counsel shall take first precedence in their professional lives, and that it may be necessary to devote their full time to the investigation, depending on its complexity and the stage of the investigation.

David Weiss is the United States Attorney for the United States District Court for the District of Delaware.

Comer says he's ready to subpoena Bidens' phone and bank records, give witnesses immunity

https://justthenews.com/accoun..._campaign=newsletter

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer on Friday night pointedly dismissed the appointment of a special counsel in the Hunter Biden criminal probe as "another maneuver... to obstruct" Congress and vowed to escalate his investigation by subpoenaing Hunter and Joe Biden's phone and bank records and offering witnesses immunity.

"We're getting closer every day to showing that Joe Biden was the ringleader in this, not Hunter Biden," Comer said in an exclusive interview with the "Just the News, No Noise" television show just hours after Attorney General Merrick Garland shocked Washington by announcing that he was upgrading Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss to a special counsel after four years of investigating the Biden family finances.

Comer dismissed Garland's decision as ineffective, noting Weiss had years to bring serious charges and instead managed to construct a plea deal that spared Hunter Biden prison for tax evasion and gun charges that even the trial judge could not accept.

"It's another maneuver by the Justice Department to obstruct our investigation. I find it odd that, the day after I announced that we had put together a case that would win in court to subpoena Joe Biden's personal bank records, then lo and behold, Merrick Garland strikes again," Comer said.

"I assumed he would try to indict Trump or something. But no, he appoints a special counsel and he appoint the same person who had supposedly been investigating Hunter Biden for years, who let the statute of limitations expire on all of his obvious tax crimes, who tried to negotiate a sweetheart plea deal that led him off scot free. And less than two weeks later, after a judge rejects that sweetheart plea deal, Merrick Garland appointed special counsel for the sole purpose to obstruct our credible, effective oversight House investigation of Biden corruption."

Comer said he is now prepared to subpoena the credit card and bank records of the president and his son as well as their phone records to check witness allegations that Joe Biden got financial benefit from Hunter Biden's clients and talked and met with them at various times.

"We're at the point to where we put together a case where we have emails, we have text messages, we have pictures, we have bank records. Now we have sworn testimony from associates like Devon Archer. We are ready now to be able to subpoena the personal bank records of the Bidens," he said.

"What we've got now are their shady shell company. Now, we need the personal records," he said. "Because when we show... that chart that shows China and Romania and Russia and the arrows go into shell companies and into the Biden's family, we think there may be another arrow beyond the Biden family. And that would go to Joe Biden himself. And that's what people have told us. That's what the emails suggest. And that's what we're trying to determine now. And that's where our investigation is headed."

The White House dismissed Comer's probe anew, issuing a lengthy statement personally attacking the congressional probe.

Comer said he wasn't concerned by such attacks and declared it was time to give some key witnesses immunity, an act that would take a vote of the full committee and House.

"We're going to continue to exercise our subpoena power. Hopefully, when we move to impeachment inquiry, that'll be able to give us tools like granting immunity," he explained. "If we could grant immunity. I think people like Devon Archer would have would have said a whole lot more. I think people like Eric Sherwood would tell a lot of things that that the Bidens have done that we know they've done, that everyone in America knows they've done."

That seemed pretty clear to me too. Stated in plain English, unlike a lot of legal text.

He's a political hack but it's hard to believe the Attorney General and onetime Supreme Court nominee could be so unaware, ill-informed or whatever you want to call it.

I'm waiting for the lawyers her to chime in to see if there's something us non-lawyers are missing.

Otherwise, it seems clear as it can be. Could he think nobody would notice? Could he be that inept?

The left simply plays by a separate set of rules and as we've seen over the last decade, nothing happens to them. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! There's no accountability even when caught, so why would this be any different.

Attorney General Garland is NOT unaware, ill-informed or inept. He's a political hack. He's attempting to do the political thing, to protect the Biden Crime Family, and to protect the Deep State, which includes the Department of Justice and the the FBI which have also become political.

This appointment is an attempt to deceive. The House Republicans, Comer and Jordan, see right through it and hopefully there are enough of the American people paying enough attention to see right through it too.

Since when did Tapper get a conscience?

https://www.breitbart.com/clip...and-and-weiss-didnt/

IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley said the announcement that U.S. Attorney David Weiss has been named as special counsel in the Hunter Biden case vindicates his contemporaneously-documented claim that Weiss didn’t have full charging authority and contradicts repeated assertions by Weiss and Attorney General Merrick Garland that Weiss had full charging authority.

Shapley said, “So, the announcement today really vindicated Special Agent Ziegler and I coming forward. And — because some of these issues that were basically admitted to today were the crux of why we came forward. So, when Attorney General Garland comes today — comes forward today — and what he did is he admitted that the American people were misled by what DOJ continually told them about this investigation.”

Shapley further stated, “[T]hen you have the June 7 letter, before our testimony to the House Ways and Means Committee was released, where United States Attorney Weiss says he has full authority. After our testimony is released and he realizes what was released by [the] House Ways and Means Committee, in the June 30 letter, he says, again, he has that full authority. But, in the next paragraph, he immediately says, but my authority is geographically limited to Delaware. And then he says, well, he has to partner — it’s departmental practice to partner with a U.S. attorney of venues elsewhere. And that’s what we’re really seeing here, we’re seeing a correction by DOJ, because the statements that they have said all along are not consistent with the decision that was just made by Attorney General Garland, or he wouldn’t have had to make it.”

I liked this little nugget from that article…

”On the same day, Steube introduced legislation to require the Secret Service chief to write a report on the illicit use of controlled substances in the White House. The move comes after the Secret Service closed its investigation into cocaine found at the White House last month without identifying a person of interest. Steube named the bill the "Helping Understand Narcotics Traces at the Executive Residence (HUNTER) Act."…”

From CBS Catherine Herridge

CBS News corespondent Catherine Herridge suggests Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Delaware US Attorney David Weiss as special counsel to protect the Biden family by blocking Weiss from testifying.

Once the DOJ realized they wouldn't be able to push Hunter Biden's sweetheart deal through the finish line, the DOJ quickly sprung into action.

As suggested by Herridge, Weiss was appointed to "delay a resolution on the Hunter Biden matter" and to also stop Weiss from testifying before Congress.

Herridge says this opinion came from a former federal prosecutor

This particular speculation isn't new, but it was reported by CBS

Devin Nunes – David Weiss is Another John Durham Protective Silo – The Deep State Operation Tracks Back to Obama Weaponizing Intel and DOJ

The former House Intel Committee chairman outlines the appointment of David Weiss as another DC silo creation similar in construct to John Durham.

Obviously, Nunes is correct. Additionally, as Nunes accurately outlines the entire weaponization process traces back to when Barack Obama took office and unleashed the apparatus of the intelligence agencies to target domestic political opposition. At the same time, Obama’s AG Eric Holder created the DOJ National Security Division and then weaponized surveillance under the auspices of FARA and FISA Courts to target one side of the political dynamic.

I don't get it

The magician puts the "biden" in his closed hand. When the magician opens his hand, the "biden" has been transformed to obama.

It fits in w the video posted by chellim.

Nunes explains the obama administration stacked the DoJ, FBI, and CIA w their leftist operatives. What played out since about 2012 was an increasing coordination to use the federal offices to attack the political opposition and protect the far left DEMs.

The “Hunter” act, also introduced by Stuebe, from the M peach ment article…

I will tell you what besides the 31 Abrams we have already pledged they are prepping another 30+.

Waste of men and material.

ETA:
I have been in touch with the guys overseas. Broken tanks. Old M1A1SA's. Configured for export.

Export means we don't give them the armor, we don't give them the thermal, we don't give them the ballistic software for US rounds.

Have fun.

I have been behind an armored column with US goodies....

...and yea. we won.
