The Biden Crime Family (a.k.a. "Biden is an honest guy"

Look at the timeline of Hunter Biden influence peddling. Oops, my bad. It was the Cheeto Benito and the daughter he wants to bang.


Whell seems to believe that the children of famous and powerful people never thought of cashing in on their family name until Hunter Biden came along.

Suspicions, of which the GOP has plenty of. Evidence, of which the Comer & Jordan Follies still have none of. The appointment of a special counsel kinda' takes the wind out of Comer's "no proof needed to prove Biden's corruption" BS.

One would think this would provide an incentive to restrain from consuming wingnut news in favor of more credible/reliable sources. But he seems convinced, notwithstanding overwhelming proof to the contrary, that the likes of Fox News are credible and stalwarts of the MSM are not.

I suppose the truth and facts are simply too disconcerting for someone who has bought into Trumps bullshit for so long.


Of course you realize finn every not-Reich-wing media source is, what's the word.... fake news.

And I just read that the Special Counsel regulation has only been used once as the authority to appoint an SC (on September 9, 1999, to appoint ex-Senator John Danforth to investigate what happened in April 1993 in Waco) and it was AG Janet Reno who did so (under whom the regulation was written). No AG since then felt bound to follow her lead.

Middle school or Glen Beck, no doubt.

So, our friend Mike has proven himself a gullible tool once again. Figgers.

Sad.

Yep. Republicans have become so whiny that they whine even after getting exactly what they want (Weiss being appointed as SC).

What are the statues that you're referring to? Why would these "statutes" conflict with: 28 CFR § 600.3 – Qualifications of the Special Counsel?

There's no question that the AG has the authority to rearrange the reporting relationships and/or workload in the DOJ and dedicate an attorney - in this case Weiss - to focus his efforts only on a single case. But that's not, by definition, a "Special Counsel" under 28 CFR § 600.3 – Qualifications of the Special Counsel.
