If Attorney General Merrick Garland thought he could restore trust in President Joe Biden’s Justice Department by appointing a special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden, he should have chosen a special counsel who didn’t try and let Hunter Biden off scot-free just two weeks ago.
In a classic Friday news dump, Garland announced Friday that U.S. Attorney David Weiss, the same U.S. attorney who signed off on Hunter Biden’s now-revoked plea deal, has been appointed as special counsel to investigate his alleged criminal activities more fully.
UP FOR DEBATE: WHERE TRUMP, DESANTIS, AND REST OF REPUBLICAN 2024 FIELD STAND ON KEY ISSUES
While Weiss is a Republican who was appointed by former President Donald Trump, Republicans have every reason to be suspicious of his motives since it was just two weeks ago that Weiss tried to close out his investigation of Hunter Biden with a plea deal that was rejected by a federal judge because of its unprecedented nature.
The Justice Department still has never made the terms of that deal public, and it is only because of a leak to the press that anyone outside of Hunter Biden’s lawyers, the court, and the DOJ has seen it. And once one reads the plea deal, it becomes readily apparent why the DOJ wanted to keep it a secret.
As the federal judge who rejected the deal pointed out in court, the scope of immunity being offered to Hunter Biden by the plain language of the document was unprecedented. She literally asked the DOJ lawyer if there was any precedent for the breadth of the agreement not to prosecute and the DOJ lawyer said “no.”
And Weiss is the man who signed off on that deal.
And now Republicans are supposed to believe he will fully investigate Hunter Biden after trying to sweep the entire investigation under the rug two weeks ago?

No way.
From persecuting and spying on Catholics to prosecuting political dissent, the Biden Justice Department has made it clear it has one set of rules for Democrats and another set of rules for Republicans. Appointing the same guy who just tried to end the investigation of Hunter Biden in charge of expanding the investigation isn’t helping.
