Merrick Garland appoints special counsel for Hunter Biden, skeptic's edition

Ed Morrissey's article on the appointment of a special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden reminds me of Charles Krauthammer's old saying to Bret Baier. Charles would frequently chastise Bret, saying, "You aren't cynical enough." Ed wrote "Perhaps I’m being skeptical, but this looks more like a way to retroactively justify Weiss’ earlier moves than a fresh start of the Biden corruption and influence-peddling probes." I'd just ask Ed 'what's with the perhaps?'" 😉

To be fair, Ed later wrote that this felt more like a CYA move than anything else, something that I totally agree with. According to this article, "U.S. Attorney David Weiss will be appointed special counsel in the ongoing probe of the president's son Hunter Biden, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced Friday."

The article continues, saying "Weiss will be responsible for the 'ongoing investigation' of President Joe Biden's son 'as well as for any other matters that arose or may arise from that investigation,' the Justice Department said in a statement. Weiss, who was already overseeing the Hunter Biden probe and is based in Delaware, asked to be appointed special counsel on Tuesday and Garland agreed it was 'in the public interest' to do so, the attorney general said." What a pile of BS.

Weiss should be terminated immediately as special counsel. He's obviously compromised. If Weiss was dedicated to finding out the truth no matter what the damage is to Joe Biden, Weiss wouldn't have let the 2 biggest felony tax evasion charges lapse due to them running past the statute of limitations. Further, Weiss's assistant U.S. Attorney wouldn't have called Hunter's defense attorneys when IRS whistleblowers wanted to search Hunter's storage unit in northern Virginia.

This, in my opinion, necessitates an impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden. Weiss can't be trusted. It shouldn't have taken 5+ years to charge Hunter with felony gun charges. That should've taken a week, not 5+ years. Further, Hunter should've been charged with multiple counts of violating FARA, the Foreign Agents Registration Act years ago. There's no excuse for Weiss to have not charged Hunter already.

The minute the House returns to DC, they should vote to authorize an impeachment inquiry. The House Oversight Committee has unearthed more criminal or unethical information on the Bidens in 9 months than Weiss found in 5+ years. That's shameful. Merrick Garland's announcement is shameful, too:

Weiss wrote 3 different letters to Jim Jordan, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, on what authorities he had for prosecuting Hunter's tax evasion felony charges. As such, he should be removed from consideration to be a special counsel. Let's remember that Weiss was widely criticized for negotiating Hunter's "sweetheart plea deal." There's nothing worthwhile about Weiss being special counsel. This should be grounds for an impeachment inquiry into Merrick Garland, too.

Tim Walz's hostile work environment at DHS

Image
It isn't a secret that Tim Walz is running for a third straight term as Minnesota's governor. What's been a secret up until this tweet appeared is that Tim Walz's Deparment of Human Services is a hostile work environment. According to the tweet, "Tim Walz is utterly dishonest, malicious at heart & has dangerous intent. The 'folksy' public image Tim Walz portrays is not even remotely what he is like to work with. Despite repeated warnings about fraud, Tim Walz opted to ratchet up the retaliation and silence any ethical voices. Besides fraud, Tim Walz has allowed agencies to spend thousands, possibly millions on retaliation efforts to scare, threaten, and silence concerned employees." The tweet continues "Worst of all, despite unprecedented funds awarded or appropriated to DHS, our agency is now a hollow shell of incompetency as our programs have been destroyed & most ethical staff have left." Don't think that this much fraud happ...

Has Sue Ek come face-to-face with DFL hijinks?

Apparently, Minnesota state and county employees aren't that attentive to details. Last night, a frequent reader of this blog sent me a statement from House Speaker-designate Lisa Demuth, R-Cold Spring ." She issued the following statement regarding vote tabulation errors, malfunctions, and discrepancies that have taken place in Sherburne and Scott Counties: The errors and discrepancies we've seen this cycle are intolerable and unacceptable. A free and fair election demands sunlight on the process. These incidents fuel distrust and raise questions about the integrity and accuracy of election results. Without an opportunity to observe or respond Sherburne County added newly-found votes to the total. Just a day later, Scott County announced an unspecified "ballot distribution error" and "ballot scanning malfunction" that triggered an abrupt re-scan of more than 20,000 ballots. There was less than two hours notice between the public announcement and the be...

BREAKING NEWS: counterfeit ballot alert in Minnesota

How Difficult Should it be to Get a Ballot? By John W. Palmer November 4, 2024 Securing an official ballot for your ward and precinct normally requires registration to vote and either showing up at a polling place or securing an absentee ballot. Ballot security is a cornerstone of an election free of fraud. When the tailgate of a vehicle was left open and unattended revealing a large stack of blank ballots, Minnesotans were appalled. Imagine how you would feel when you learn that all it takes to get a reproducible ballot for your ward and precinct is to download a file from a government website. In Stearns and several other Minnesota counties, imagination is not needed. Right now, all you have to do is go to Minnesota’s Secretary of State’s website and download a file. Go to this website and select “Get a sample ballot”. Then enter your zip code and address and your ballot appears. Now you are able to download the ballot as a PDF file. Once you have the PDF file you can print as many ...
