Oh, there will be voices who will proclaim this is the beginning of the end for Joe and Hunter, but that’s nonsense. We don’t do pretending on these pages. What happened today was an agreement between USAO David Weiss and US Attorney General Merrick Garland to fortify a silo of protection around the Biden family.
The shift in David Weiss from an investigative US Attorney to an officially appointed Special Counsel [SEE pdf HERE], is nothing more than loading the new color spray paint into the cannister. Pesky House Oversight Committee inquiry now hits the block of an “ongoing investigation,” a purposeful deployment of a DC replay we have seen repeatedly in the last several years. The cancer of corruption is institutionally metastatic.
We know the specific motives of USAO David Weiss as a result of the conflict between his public statements, letters to congress and the private statements he gave in meetings with IRS investigators. Toward the public, Weiss said he had full autonomy and power to investigate Hunter Biden; however, in private he told four investigators the decision-making was not his. The public statements were refuted and affirmed by two investigators who were witness to his private statements and gave testimony under oath.
As a result, the intent and institutional alignment of David Weiss is clear. This is the cold hard truth of the matter, and it will not change regardless of how much disingenuous concrete they pour around the walls of the silo Main Justice has built. Ignore any voice who would demand us to pretend the reality is not self-evident.
Here’s the SILO as presented by Garland:
Dept of Justice – “Attorney General Merrick B. Garland announced today the appointment of U.S. Attorney David Weiss to serve as Special Counsel for the ongoing investigation and prosecutions referenced and described in United States v. Robert Hunter Biden, as well as for any other matters that arose or may arise from that investigation. Mr. Weiss was nominated by the former president in 2017 and confirmed by the U.S. Senate in 2018. In 2021, he was asked to remain as U.S. Attorney for the District of Delaware, where he led this ongoing investigation. On Tuesday, Aug. 8, Mr. Weiss requested to be appointed as Special Counsel, and today the Attorney General made that appointment.
“On Tuesday of this week, Mr. Weiss advised me that in his judgment, his investigation has reached a stage at which he should continue his work as a Special Counsel, and he asked to be so appointed,” said Attorney General Garland. “Upon considering his request, as well as the extraordinary circumstances relating to this matter, I have concluded it is in the public interest to appoint him as Special Counsel. This appointment confirms my commitment to provide Mr. Weiss all the resources he requests. It also reaffirms that Mr. Weiss has the authority he needs to conduct a thorough investigation and to continue to take the steps he deems appropriate independently, based only on the facts and the law.”
The Attorney General also said, “As Special Counsel, he will continue to have the authority and responsibility that he has exercised previously to oversee the investigation and decide where, when, and whether to file charges. The Special Counsel will not be subject to the day-to-day supervision of any official of the Department, but he must comply with the regulations, procedures, and policies of the Department … Today’s announcement affords the prosecutors, agents, and analysts working on this matter the ability to proceed with their work expeditiously, and to make decisions indisputably guided only by the facts and the law … I am confident that Mr. Weiss will carry out his responsibility in an even-handed and urgent matter, and in accordance with the highest traditions of this Department.” (more)
Impeach!!!!
74m voters have nothing to look forward to without action to remove the administration top down!!!!
This is hilarious in-your-face third world style corruption.
Weiss – the US Attorney and Garland’s pet liar – has pretended for months to be blocked from prosecuting Biden corruption.
Now that public pressure is too loud, the corrupt duo are at it again where Garland has appointed his pet dog Weiss to a special council role to make sure all the evidence is properly covered up.
This means they will leave the Bidens alone but they will use the full force of the government to go after whistleblowers.
The institutions no longer have any legitimacy and should be given the proper amount of respect – nothing.
Uh, they already ARE given no respect, by the citisenry, by our so called allies, by our so called adversaries; we have a Rodney Dangerfield Govt., ugly as heel, and gets no respect.
This is more about protecting Osama and many many more then Joe.
Veep Joe: “Call Him!”
“You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig” (!!! )
The mob led by Garland has taken over the DoJ.
whats his (weiss) incentive here?
Stall until Joe is re-elected (highly unlikely given Joe is more dead than alive), and then he can pardon Hunter.
If Joe has to back out of the 2024 election due to “health issues,” he’ll pardon Hunter on his way out.
The fun version might be if Joe suddenly croaks. Then Hunter will have to ask for a pardon from Kamala. Whether Jill would join in is anyone’s guess, given what Hunter said about her in his emails. She’s his stepmother, and without Joe, she doesn’t have to pretend to like him any more.
Without Joe as Obama’s puppet in the White House, presumably Obama would have no further use for the Bidens.
You mean re-selected, don’t you? In order to be re-elected, you had to have been elected in the first place! 81 million votes my azz!
Jill can still keep rolling in the hay with Hunter. They’re technically not related.
And Weiss has submissive relations with the Deep State hierarchy.
He begged for the special counsel gig wearing a dog-faced bondage hood.
I’m thinking the stunt they pulled with assigning the Trump appointed judge to threaten Joe to step down for “health reasons” didn’t work as they hoped and got push back from the Bidens that they will throw people under a bus. Obama recently went to meet with Joe I believe it was after the plea deal unraveled. So they go with this protective silo for Hunter as a next step as insisted upon by the Bidens before Joe steps down. And as you said Wethal, I also still believe Joe will pardon Hunter at that time.
Weiss can’t be called in front of a House Committee investigating Biden.
Weiss can now vacuum up all the evidence concerning Biden and silo it. Maybe add the firewall of DOJ-NSD
McCarthy (Republicans in general) have their excuse not to impeach Biden; it would interfere with the ongoing Special Council investigation.
I can see the Comey playbook being resurrected. After the 2024 [s]election, Weiss will proclaim there was plenty of sketchy activity, bit no reasonable prosecutor would take the case. But if anyone else were to do this, expect the full force of DOJ to come down on you. Either that or a whole bunch of pardons immediately follow Weiss’ report.
Another DOJ scam on the American people! THE STATUTE OF LIMITATION HAS RUN OUT!”
Due to the nature of the crime, and how the Statutes are written, their is no Statute of Limitations, for an “ongoing conspiracy” and EVERY affirmative act, which futhers the goals of the Conspirators, is a seperate count.
So, all of the Conspirators are already looking at 200+ year sentences.
Hence, they have nothing to lose, and no incentive to stop.
The Special Clownsel will get to the bottom of this.
The statute of limitations clock keeps ticking and still no indictment.
The statute of limitations doesn’t expire if someone willfully files fraudulent tax returns to hide money from the USG.
Thank God for the final judgement where there will be real justice.
Both the criminals and the judges will face the eternal Judge who always does what is right.
None will escape the judgement and those found guilty will face a punishment far, far worse than the worst a person could face in this life.
Can you and everyone else please stop with this nonsense? It doesn’t help hoping that someone will be facing pergatory when they die when we still live in the real world and face real life consequenses of a corrupt government and peoples actions. The only thing that will give me peace is if they face penalties in this life
Exactly
It does get a little old, doesn’t it?
If that’s the case, then why do we have criminal courts at all? Doesn’t that constitute double jeopardy.
I understand, but it is not “nonsense” when God-fearing people feel/believe Earthly justice will not happen, so this is where our beliefs take us to find peace and comfort. This doesn’t mean we’ll do nothing to correct today’s evils but we know there is a better place we can and do look forward to.
Where will you turn when your requirements for bringing you peace are not met???
Here’s a link to a relevant post from GotQuestions.Org
https://www.gotquestions.org/not-of-this-world.html
but here’s some more clarification…purgatory is not the final destination of godless sinners.
After The Final Judgement, they will join Satan and demons in the lake of fire to suffer for eternity, a much more agonizing end.
I want to witness it.
That’s not the kind of judgment or punishment they deserve.
They deserve to have every single penny stripped from them and all property and then prosecuted to the full extent of true justice including a real IRS and then banned from any public office for life and then give them an appliance box.
A special kind of Carnival, they are required to work in.
Travels country wide, and st each stop, THEY unload and set up, and then are the main attraction sitting in dunk tanks, full of excrement.
What would YOU pay, to get into the tent to watch?
And how much would you pay, for the “chance” to throw the balls?
We could pay off the National debt, in 1-2 years, and with no shortage of “crews”; Pigliosi, the Clantons, the McVonnells, Bushes, Smug barstuds all!
THATS “Retribution and Reconciliation”, as hangings too good for them.
Humiliation, public ongoing humiliation for ALL of them.
David Weis is a US Attorney from Delaware. He cannot be a special council. He also has made a carreer of covering for the Biden crime family . He must be recused.
It’s my understanding that David was told Garland to appoint him special counsel. So Weiss must have some reason they’re trying to protect himself
You are correct, of course , but the odds of any recusal happening ( no one with “standing “ is going to challenge it in any event ) are about the same as me being able to throw a baseball to the moon
Mr and Mrs Hannity will get to the bottom of this
aka “Corruption She Wrote”. On your local Faux channel right after The Faux News!
Starring JB Gooland and backed up by the DC GooGirls. Cackling provided by HeelsUp.
Did something happen here that wasn’t expected. Weiss will come out with his report in 2 years when Joe is in retirement spending his millions and he will say that Joe did some things that bordered on criminal but really wasn’t so we are closing the investigation.
Hunter and the rest of the relatives will be doing the spending , otherwise totally agree -Guessing Joe will be in increasing protective health seclusion , but who knows really …
I know Jim Jordan is happy about it.
PROVE that the ONLY reason Joe demanded Ukraine fire shogin, was because of the Burisma bribe/job of Hunter, as an example.
You can’t. And without that ADMISSABLE evifence leading to proof beyond a reasinable doubt, you can NOT convict, hence no reasonable prosecutor would take thr case to trial.
This non case, will make that clear, to the American people, and it will likewise be clear that without similar proof, Mitch, Pelosi, McCarthy and all the rest of the barstuds that have been ripping off the American people, lo these many years, are also not legally prosecutable.
And that might be a “bridge too far” with that realisation by the American people leading to wholesale change.
You can push people only so far,..
Keyword is “reasonable” doubt. Convictions do occur when all the dots line up in a nice neat row even when there is no DNA evidence.
A “reasonable” person looking at all the dots would be hard-pressed not to convict.
“…due to the ongoing Special Counsel’s investigation” is going to be the new MSM keyboard macro.
That wall oughta stand until the Dead Elephant party runs out of rocks for its trebuchet.
So in the quest to destroy belief in the country:
Destroy 1st amendment and censor dissent. -Check
Destroy 2nd amendment and implement work around with limited ammo. – Check
Dispel belief in equal justice. – Check
Dispel belief in newspapers or 4th estate to hold government in Check.- Check
Destroy the critical thinking of population with drugs and social media. – Check
Destroy the ability to vote them out of office. – Check
Frighten the population that resistance is futile. – Check
So many goals of the few accomplished.
The Lord has a long history of dealing with arrogance. Noah, Sodom, tower of Babel……
Have faith and find joy.
Maybe someone can verify this but her and Attorney on another site said that the appointment of Weiss is not consistent with the law. That the law says the special council must not must be appointed outside the federal government
True. Federal statute. But when did the Biden/Obama administration care about the law?
Must be from outside government
28USC600.3
“. . . .the Special Counsel . . . shall be selected from outside the United States Government. . . .”
Black and White illegal action by the Obama/Garland Dept of Justice.
Who’ going to challenge Garland?
The precedent was set with, I think, the bearded guy, name escapes me at the moment.
Who’s paying for this fiasco?
You and me. Pony up.
Well you, not me. By adjusting our lifestyle, am not paying for this or any Fed. govt. foolishness.
They hadn’t completed the sentence on ABC announcing Weiss and I knew what the deal was… Like you said, SD a while back, Truth is the best disinfectant and I hope that we and those in the know keep educating the American people on the facts…
This is a panic move, They have no where else to go.
I agree. More and more that’s what we are seeing.
It IS interesting that, given the clear wording of the Statute, they didn’t reach “outside the Govt.” for this SC appointment.
Are they running out of dorks?
= probably got the material on this Weiss guy
Or he got a phone call like this: “That’s a nice little family/house/career you have there, Dave. Be a shame if something happened to it.”
The House could also continue its investigation into Hunter’s dealings, and if Weiss raises the “ongoing investigation” objection, point out that he cannot be a special counsel under the special counsel law because he is already a federal employee. Thus, his appointment has no validity.
Withal,
We have stopped pretending, remember?
That means stop pretending that the House is in any way interested in anything morethan playing its kabuki theater roll.
Gaetz, MTG, Boerbert etc. are just the “NEW” (just like the old!) ‘controlled opposition”.
Please, ..get with the program.
Lemme guess, Barr gave him the idea…..
Garland & Weiss feed off the same table as “Table Scraps” Barr.
The era of pretending continues (for some, not all).
Special Counsel = cover up (dc obfuscations, of which there are many prior examples, not good works, nor love.)
(the russia hoax special counsel had a public said task (with a hidden, from public, actual scope of work)
to pretend to find collusion with russia (uk, ccp)
but the unsaid task was to protect the image via coverup the actual collusion etc. etc. etc.)
(politically) Some might call that ‘special’.
Then Durham spent year$ investigating (obfuscation), that investigation (obfuscation).
There is still no ones held accountability (underling clinesmith got a pass for miss writing a report while knowing otherwise, as did others) was assigned for the pretending, the overlay of public misinformation etc., that started in 2015 (and then some), 8 years ago.
But there are other words in the political environment – some not in the english dictionary – for the corruption by ‘they’ (as cth wrote in April 7, 2023)
Lord help us, to help you to
Heal this land,
via
love
thy
neighbors
When there is a will,
then,
there is a way.
been there, done that ( as have many, many, many others for centuries ).
There is strength in numbers
It (the process of finding truth, working with others, to help HIM etc.) does seem to help to fulfill HIS purpose…
Love thy neighbors
Someone may have said this already, but the happiest people in DC today are the GOP members (including the pandering “conservative” wing). The establishment definitely didn’t want to go after Biden because he didn’t do anything most of them haven’t been doing. The Senate GOP is especially offensive to me. They just got their built-in 2024 excuse for doing nothing (again). It’s as predictable as the sunrise.
There will be lots of expensive steaks and wine getting consumed tonight in the fancy-pants restaurants in and around DC.
100% correct. This was a RINO-approved move.
Mitch definitely on board.
He’ll be eating a steak made from his race horse tonight, but he’ll be convinced it’s beef.
He is at the point that he wouldn’t know the difference.
There is only one way the House can stop this coverup, the Weaponization of the DOJ, FBI, and IC, and PROTECT ITSSELF and PDJT from these weaponized attacks (at least the Republican Members of the House.
That is to Defund all of these entities entirely with the next budget.
Just go complete Regular Orders on the Budget of each of these departments in turn and cut them off at the beginning of October.
This was prevented Last Year by backstabbing Mitch McConnel making a deal with the DIMMS and passing a omnibus continuing resolution.
This year if McConnel and Schumer send an Omnibus budget to the House, the House should send it back without consideration, and inform the Senate that the House, per the US Constitution, originates ALL spending bills.
The House should then continue with Regular Orders funding each department as needed.
This would be a good time to shut down funding to some other bad actors as well, such as the Department of Energy, the Department of Educations, the EPA, FDA, any other corrupted ‘health’ departments, etc.
Shut them down and lock the doors.
Then go Extreme Federalist and inform the Governors and the Attornies General of the Various States hey will be responsible for enforcement within their own State as they see fit. After All we have 50 other Governments in this country, let them carry the load the Constitution envisioned for them.
Just refuse to consider any Justice, FBI, DOJ, Defense Intelligence, Intelligence, or any other weaponized funding until 2025.
Shut off the spigot or we will be drowned by this criminality.
Big Al, the only thing that is above water now is the tip of the straw. The House doesn’t want to stop this coverup. This coverup is not just for Joe and Hunter. There are 535 other individuals breathing easier this afternoon
What part of stop pretending, DON’T people understand?
Run as many MAGA candidates for Senate and House in 2024, while seperately a major “throw all Incumbents OUT, PARTY does not matter to THEM, WHY should it matter to US” campaign.
The SC will finally get to the truth/ sarc.
Weiss was already caught lying to Congress (under oath) protecting Garland and Joe Biden that he had the final decision authority on the Hunter Biden investigation!
Garland appoints Weiss who’s the same guy caught lying to Congress that HE MADE THE FINAL DECISION on and it was Lisa Monaco which is really Garland!!!
Now Garland the guy he lied to protect appoints Weiss as Special Counsel???
Weiss tried to scam the judge and throw the case!
How do Republicans allow this blatant corruption to continue?
They are part of it, that’s how. They’re all corrupt, compromised, and bought out.
This will definitely be used to kill all future House efforts to investigate the Biden Crime Family. Taken in that light, if Garland were smart, he would have appointed a special counsel 1 year ago.
Actually he could have waited in order to make the republicans look like the buffoons they are(?). A “two-fer” for the marxists.
At what point do we decend on the devils den? Have you not had enough already? I’m sick of my taxes funding evil.
You could see it coming from a 1000 miles and that’s the good news. People are not buying the hooey.
per THE LAW, this is an illegal appointment as “the Special Counsel SHALL . . . be selected from outside the United States Government”
28USC 600.3 does not allow for Weiss to have these powers.
§ 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 decisionmaking, 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.
I expect this Special Counsel will go on until about a year after Election 2024. Herr Weiss will have to contact Herr Weissmann and Herr Mueller to ask about fun things to do while pretending an investigation is going on for two years.
“The sins of the father are visited on the children” or the acorn do not fall far from the tree. David Weiss’s father worked for the IRS and accepted a bribe of $200,000 to look the other way on a businessman’s tax obligation. He was convicted and sentenced to four years in prison in 1985.He and David admitted that some of that bribe was used to pay David’s law school tuition. Apparently he was the only one available to handle Hunter’s case.🤪
America used to fight the Evil Empire.
Now, America is the Evil Empire.
The upside such as it is…it’s AG Garland, and not US Supreme Court Justice Garland.
This is about protecting Biden and his corrupt enterprises, as the ENTIRE LOT of Washington D.C. are likely implicated in operating the same schemes to line their pockets.
Another $13 Billion to Ukraine, to siphon off into various schemes.
Bury It Barr entertained us with the bagpipes. What instrument does Garland play ? Skin flute ?
Garland: I am appointing David Weiss as Special Counsel. Excuse me, I didn’t mean to snort while laughing. Nothing to see here. Moving on.
8 months the Boneless Turkey Republicans had to do SOMETHING. They knew this was coming. They wanted this to happen. They hoped this would happen to take the heat off themselves. They intentionally moped along giving Garland all the time he needed to make this happen. The fake phoney Republicans are going to lose in ’24. And that’s intentional also.
If they are going to continue to play like this, then I suggest that Congress follows Matt Gaetz plan of bringing Trump in to testify in Congress, and giving him immunity. The corruption in the US is behind absurd
What more can possibly be said on this topic?
Surely Comer et al saw this coming. Been expecting it since IRS whistleblower testimony. It was inevitable. Surely Comer and Jordan have a strategy prepared for this obvious tactic.
Surely you jest. “And don’t call me Shirley.” (sorry, Airplane)
Garland and Weiss.
Different day, same tribe.
So a prosecutor who spent four years investigating Robert Hunter Biden is named a “special” prosecutor. What the hell didn’t he learn about Hunter Biden over four years that more time now will inform.
Also, Joe Biden said he never talked business with his son. He also said the Bidens never made money from China. How does he know that if he never talked business with his son.
I am amazed how not one government stooge can actually speak without a teleprompter.
“The Special Counsel shall be selected from outside the United States Government.” https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CFR-2016-title28-vol2/pdf/CFR-2016-title28-vol2-part600.pdf
Weiss does not meet the qualification to be special counsel.
The republicans meanwhile will give JoeBama more money to launder in Ukraine and taking care of homeless illegal immigrants. If we had fair elections we could defeat them .
The problem is that both parties met on this special counsel agreement about a year ago and came up with plan and put it out today.
Now the party of the GOP will do their part in retaliation and they are really mad this time.
Hey Chuck this is Mitch.
Give me a call when you get time. I can’t stop laughing.
Thanks Mitch

When are Jim Jordan, Comer and Gaetz’s Committees going to put Wray and Barr under oath and question them about:
FBI Director Chris Wray and AG BARR had three years to investigate:
The 170 Suspicious Activity Reports (SARS) filed by a dozen banks detailing tens of millions of dollars being wire transferred from foreign banks in China, Russia and Ukraine to the Biden Crime Family.
On top of that incredible malfeasance, FBI Director Wray and AG BARR had a full year to investigate:
The Hunter Biden Laptop which described:
Bribery
Money laundering
Sex crimes
Gun possession crime
FARA violations
Sex trafficking
Cocaine possession
Don’t forget the Weiner laptop which had top secret CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS!
Don’t count on any elected republicans giving a fluck about this.
If they did McCarthy wouldn’t be speaker and McConnell would be in a silo.
This is the best way to think about the Democrats – they are the world’s largest criminal syndicate, answerable to no one but the few globalists above them on the totem pole.
If a Republican ever gets back in the White House, the Department of Justice has to be completely dismantled from the roots.
How Garland hasn’t been impeached tells me the Republican leadership in the House and Senate are completely controlled opposition.
Definitely CONTROLLED and not much OPPOSITION!
This was way beyond predictable, once again the Dem admin. providing cover for the R wing, as they ALWAYS do, because the D wing knows, without the R wing, that their bullshit just won’t fly.
Thing is WE are onto their game, and the R wing, one way or another, is going DOWN.
What is going on with that other special councel for Joe’s Documents.
Hur? Not a peep not a word…is he even still doing anything.. NO one
I mean NO ONE Mentions him..not even the repubs..
Hur has probably gone fishing with Durham
They would enjoy hunting much better!!
I saw a headline yesterday saying that they were “negotiating” – whatever that means.
Deciding who will be driving when they head to lake to go fishing.
