Yeah, he's special all right. So a few days after US Attorney for Delaware Devid Weiss took at deal to court which would have let Hunter Biden off for all possible past crimes with a lightly slapped wrist, only to be rebuffed by a sharp-eyed judge who saw what was happening, Merrick Garland finally thought it might was safe to appoint him "Special" Counsel status, which, at least in theory, allows him to prosecute cases outside of Delaware (DC and California, most notably), so he can clean of the rest of Hunter's messes. Of course, it was a Friday afternoon news dump, to get minimal attention. Andy McCarthy at NR, AG Garland Press Statement at 12:15 P.M. The Peacock, AG Merrick Garland appoints a special counsel in Hunter Biden probe. Capt. Ed at Hat Hair, BREAKING: Garland upgrades Weiss to special-counsel status in Hunter probes; Update: Plea deal dead?

The (Democrat) Fix Is In: David Weiss Appointed Special Counsel for Hunter
Biden, Twitchy, Megan Kelly Explains Why AG Garland’s Appointment Of David Weiss As Special
Counsel Is A Total Joke and at Da Fed, Dave Harsanyi,
Garland’s Special Counsel Gambit Confirms Hunter Investigation Was Always
Shady. Insty, ONCE I WOULD HAVE ASSUMED THIS WAS AN INVESTIGATION, NOW I ASSUME IT’S A
COVERUP:
Attorney General Garland Appoints a Special Counsel in Hunter Biden
Probe. UPDATE:
It’s David Weiss. Mark Tapscott at Insty has TWO BIG PROBLEMS WITH WEISS AS SPECIAL COUNSEL:
"The law says a
Special Counsel
must be impartial and must be from outside the government. David Weiss
arguably is anything but impartial, as evidenced by his endorsement of the
sweetheart plea deal offered Hunter Biden. And Weiss obviously is a government
insider, according to Rep. Pete Sessions (R-Texas) and multiple others." Ace
gives it a flaming skull,
Merrick Garland Appoints David Weiss Special Counsel -- Which He Should
Have Done Years Ago -- in Apparent Bid to Protect Weiss From Being
Investigated Over His Attempt to Defraud the Court to Covertly Confer
Blanket Immunity on Hunter Biden. At Hat Hair a thread from Tad Pergram, Comer: Special counsel appointment part of the Biden admin cover-up. Charles Lipson at Da Spec,
Hunter’s new special counsel also needs investigating
"As US attorney, David Weiss slow-walked the Biden case for years." Capt. Ed,
"Catherine Herridge astutely pointed out that the new status for Weiss will
likely be used to refuse to testify to Congress about these issues.
Technically speaking, Congress could impeach Weiss from both of his offices,
but the Senate would almost certainly refuse to remove him. The whole thing
smells like a bureaucratic stonewall project." Sundance at CTH, Here We Go – Garland and Weiss Throw Bag Over Hunter Biden Investigation
with Declaration of Special Counsel Status and Devin Nunes – David Weiss is Another John Durham Protective Silo – The Deep
State Operation Tracks Back to Obama Weaponizing Intel and DOJ. At NewsBusters, CNN, MSNBC Spent 36 Min. Dismissing Comer, Then Special Counsel Gets
Appointed. Althouse reads the NYT, "They thought it was over, that they could put it in the rearview mirror.
All that Hunter Biden had to do was show up in a courtroom, answer a few
questions..."
"... sign some paperwork and that would be it. Not that the Republicans would let it go, but any real danger would be past. Except that it did not work out that way. The criminal investigation that President Biden’s advisers believed was all but done has instead been given new life with the collapse of the plea agreement and the appointment of a special counsel who now might bring the president’s son to trial.
Babylon Bee, Garland Appoints Special Counsel To Cover Up Biden's Crimes "
"I have given Mr. Weiss full power and authority to investigate Hunter Biden and the Biden family. We must conduct a thorough investigation so we can know which crimes to sweep under the rug," said Garland. "After a thorough inquiry, Mr. Weiss will be in charge of destroying all evidence, bringing no serious charges, and granting Hunter Biden immunity forever. He is a man of the utmost integrity and I trust him to do this job to the best of his ability."
I fear the Bee has stumbled onto the truth, again, and this is, in fact, a cover up, not an investigation. Weiss and Garland have a chance to prove me wrong, though, and I hope they do.
At Fox Business, House GOP to subpoena Biden family: 'Bank records don't lie,' Rep. Comer says "Rep. James Comer, GOP eye subpoenas for Biden, Hunter in influence peddling case."

Insty, PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS. Paul Sperry at Am Great, For Washington Post’s Feared ‘Pinocchio’ Fact Checker, Forthrightness Dies in ‘Updates’ to Biden-Burisma Story. "Kessler’s fact check has not aged well."
The Peacock reports Biden attorneys in talks with federal prosecutors over terms of his interview in classified documents case. "Special Counsel Robert Hur, appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland, is investigating the president’s handling of classified documents after his term as vice president ended." PJM's Matt Margolis reports Biden Legal Team Negotiating With Prosecutors Over Classified Documents Investigation. Capt. Ed, "HUR LIVES! That’s certainly a new development in a case that had largely gone dark for months. This is a different situation than the Hunter Biden probe under David Weiss; Hur actually has special-counsel status. DoJ doctrine prevents an indictment of a sitting president, but he could still embarrass Biden by refusing to close the case while he’s in office. But somehow I doubt that’s what Hur will do."

From the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 08.11.23, Twitchy, LOL! The looks on their FACES! WATCH as CNN finds out just how WRONG they really are about everything.
Gonna stop here for now, even though the other bins are still grumbling to be cleared.
