It’s back to the drawing board in the Department of Justice’s ongoing obfuscation and cover-up of the Biden Brand influence peddling scandal that is now threatening not just Joe Biden’s electoral chances, but his presidency itself.
The mendacity of Attorney General Merrick Garland’s latest move, finally appointing Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss as special counsel into the investigation of Hunter Biden, is both myriad and shocking.
Let’s start with Weiss himself, this is the same prosecutor who authored the sweetheart plea deal that nearly put this scandal in the rearview mirror of the White House for good, with its watered down misdemeanors and uncharged crimes.
But even worse than the lackluster charges themselves was the absurdly broad immunity to future prosecution that the deal offered, had Judge Maryellen Noreika not smelled a rat and quashed the bargain, Hunter Biden would have been permanently in the clear for almost all of his duplicitous dealings.
Prosecutors…
