It certainly isnt, and as the House Republicans continue to investigate hunter biden, the Justice Departments investigation, including bringing the iris whistleblowers, investigating that, its going to be a continuing thorn in the side of joe biden as he pursues reelection. Tell me more about Special Counsel david weiss and what he might do with these new Special Counwers .
