Thought that august 11th was april 1st because his announcement that he appointed a Special Counselee to investigate hunter biden was like a really bad practical joke here today to announce the appointment of David Weissea as a Special Counsel consistent with the Department Of JusticeRegulationrts Governing such matters. In keeping with those ofgulations, i have today notified the designated members of each House Of Congreshouss of the appointment. Yes, thats the same david weiss who tried to give eethearthunter that Sweetheart Y Deal before a smart judge stepped in to say noott so fast. Now, beyond that, weiss isnt even eligibls isnt e to be nam Special Counsel under the relevant Regulation Governinunseg his appointment. First, according to section 600. 3, he has to have a reputation for integrity and impartial Decision Making. Now, thats obviously in questioin n is the impartial Decision Making part after how he handled the initial phasesl of this investigation. N and the Special Counsel shald tl be, it says, from outside the government. Okay. And is garland is not a stupid manll. So im asking you this tonight in all in all candor, is he blinded by a desire to muddy the waters here, the election . M i dont know what could have motivated him here. Andy in National Review put itvw bluntly, there could not be as l more serious, blatant Conflict Of Interest than a situation in which the President Satlictta Department is conducting an investigation of the president ion ofs that implicates the president in potentially impeachable conduct. Well, the conflicts, of course, dont ene conflid there. Remember what one of the irs to thel owers testified Justice Department allowed the president s Political Appointeesh to weigh in on whether theyre charged the president s son. I was united statee uniteds atto still room for senior fbi and irs senior leadersd ir on october 7th, 2022, that he was not the deciding person and whether charges were filed. That was my red line. And garlands appointment is eve n more devious than that. Now, for weeks, members of the house and numerous environmental guests have been calling on weiss to testify before congress. His appointment to this Rolepo Meanintmen S that hes potentially now protected against having to Testifynst Havi until he rela his report. This insulateses weiss and Te Department of justice, more than it necessarily moves investigation forward. And hes going to be able now to say that theres ongoing investigation. Id love to answer these questions, but pound sand. T the appointment of a Special Counsel would have the effect of Delayinofng Ag a resolution on the hunter biden matter, and it would certainly delayu. S. Any anticipated testimony from the u. S. Attorney iny in to republicans on capitol hill. Good for katherine herridge. And while jack smith wants to move expeditiously so that trump can be hobbled durins g ao election year, do we really expect that weiss is going wecan beto have that same sensef urgency now . Dont bet on it. Iveisthe same never seen a fedo criminal case travel this strange path. Nt five years. You know, a u. S. Attorney from a a prior administrationttorne. Theres a Plea Agreement that seemed like it was about to wrap everything up and now its Falleaboung Un apart in th rather dramatic fashion. And from here, its very fae. Where we go next what is clear, i think, though, is that this move was meant to protect joe biden, which is allieh his in. Congress and the media wanted to be sure to point out it wasnt a scintilla of evidence to show that President Biden anything wrong in connection with hunter biden. And i that mr. Weiss has notsuce surfaced any such evidencevi because. There is none. You know, my constituents arent asking about it. I do want to say i aboutt, is t top of mind for a lot of constituentsti when cnn is calling out their lame defenses, you known that the bidens are in trouble, which is what obamas old architect, david axelrod, alluded to. Im sure didnt land all that well over at the white house because i think love this Hunter Biden Case to be behind them. Anything that Extendshing T the Hunter Biden Case into bi year is is not welcome news for joe bidens spelled out in a piece published by politico today about. The biden team resigned to a campaign shadowed by hunten to r drama garlands friday night bait and switch, i think followswitchs yesterdays news a his other special prosecutor, jack smithl pr, had asked the ct to begin trumps january 6 trial on january 2nd, 2024. Now obvious, right . There. What hes up to. Theyre taking off the trail just as the gop primary season kicks off. Nice going. These people are shamelessng. Se nothing but bad faith as far as the eye can seee. Art, the but as weve been saying fromr the start, the hunter drama, while its important, is its own distraction. And republicans who think theyre going to defeat the bidens with investigations,i think theyre likely to be disalooknted that angle does not think youre going to get the justice youre looking for, not with garlandin not wit in c you need to defeat biden and the democrats by going after them at the ballot box. Winninllotg after all, would be best justice of all. Joining us now, esau isenberg, former Deputy Independent Counsel and assistant u. S. Ne attorney, and mike davis, founder and president Ofd Mike Article Three project. So how does garland, an experienced lawyer and judge, not know about the Special Counsels requirements . S ab oh, he knows about it. Ou and it was just the height of hs hypocrisy for him to say in his press conference, pursuant to the regulations im appointing im appointing weiss as Special Counsel because its laid out right there. O beyou have to be not just oute the Department Of Justice. You have to be Outsideo Be TUnited States government. I think the answer to your questionur is whether or not hes blind or corrupt. Ththe the answer is hes really doesnt seem to be in charge of the Justice Department. I think the number two person there is in charge, and sheeral is lisa monaco, the Deputy Attorney general who i is thendi one who got on the phone with david weiss and said,d, youre not going to have authority to bring this case Ority Tohis Casein any districte you want to bring it in. With e and of course, its i agree with Everyone Else who has commented that it is ridiculous. You have a tainted investigation that clearly has been tainted and compromistaint and david weiss has been the person in charge of it. Now,w, he even he might not be responsible for all of the mistakeskes an and slow walg that have been made. But he is ultimately Tely Resresponsible because hee person in charge and his integrity has been compromised by this. The letters he wrote sayin g was in complete authority, totally inconsistent. What he know, we know he tolds. His investigators so it is a the continuation of the cover up to, have him as Special Counsel. Now, mikesel. , on today, noturpris surprisingly, perhaps they were in praising this decision to appoint weiss. S to make weiss a Special Counsel is another marker that doj is renewing its independence during the biden ce dadministrationurin. Ecision and this insulates Decision Making about the president s Son Fromabout NFr Appointees Lt and msnbc that theyre happy of tells you all you need to know here. Why did attorney genera herel Merrick Garland wait 30 months to make a special appointment here . And why did he pick david weiss . And the answer is that he picked david wiese, because david wiese has Provene S Becau A Loyal Biden foot soldier within the justice departmenrtm and they did it now because they ran into a roadblock in delaware called judge nebraska, who called into question this Sweetheart Deal for hunter biden that we put together. So theyre using this specia lr to appointment as cover to make garland look tough whe me gan. Actually, what theyre doing is theyre going to move this case to d. C. Ca, california, to protect biden. Well, at this point, saul, is there any way to challenge ay or any point in challenging weisss eligibility to behe Special Counsel, given the regulations . No, in fact, you cant do that. Its a part of the regulations. You theyre not enforceable in court. But heres a ver y key key thing that nobody is talking about, laura. That ple. A deal that mike wasthe plea talking about that blew up had to pass the plead agreement p and whats called a pretrial Diversion Agreement thatre. Diversion agreement, it was is for the Felony Gun Charge Cha that after two years was going to be completely dismissed and in would be erased from hunters record. But within that Diversion Agreement was the was the paragraph. S the paragraph that they didn even show to the judge to the last Minuteven Thee that ary gave him broad immunity. And hered is what no onesabou. Talking about that the Bidene Tt Defense Team might very well move to enforce that pretriaprle Diversion Agreement. David schoen, who was on your meshow me a few weeks ago,hat. Suggested that they do that. And, boy, if they do that. R wh it doesnt matter who and they win. It doesnt matter o who the special is. So, mike, thanks so much. Now, one oonf the assumed byproducts of this announcement is that it could Derai Thal Orn Somehow Short Circuit the house investigations that are ongoinge ,then complicate any possible impeachment inquiries. Bu t t today, the House Oversighthe Committee Released A Statement Overing in part, the Biden Department is trying to stonewall congressional oversight. The Committet Commitll E continue money t to follow the biden familys money trail and interview witnessew witns. Here now is the chairman ofme that committee, james colmer. Congressmar. N. David weiss, i know you wantedet to bring him up for questioning at some point in the near futuree. How is that going to work now . And donw t you his saying not now and not until t the investigation is complete. Ae right. R well, this is another example, the Department Of Justice stonewalling and obstructing our investigation. Been complaining about this for months, but yet we continue to deliver evidenced that shows of Massivene Biden Wrongdoing and more evidence that Showmores Joe was right front and center in this from day one. What this does , It Protectsth david white from coming in front of the which is fine. J this is an investigation about joe biden. I donbideink we n t we need anyr more evidence to show that the Department Of Justice is trying to obstruct investigation. I think Merrick Garland made that argument fok merricr us. Llt were going to continue to follow the money. Were going to continue to interviewheey the witnesses t we know have firsthand knowledge of what exactlyg to the bidens were doing to receive the millions ndand millions dollars from badn actors in bad countries around the world. And what role played in this scheme . And thats whats important to every american. D thats whats role joe played becauswee we believe that we ha a president United States thats compromised because of the millions and millionns and i dollars his familys taken in. N. Now, Congressman Dana Bash cn over at cnn mentioned you today when the Bidens HuntertoJoe B Waden Probe and the connections to joe biden himself. Watch. So so far, there is no evide. James comer, the head of this committee, just told my colleague, jake tapper, yesterday pretty much admitted that they dont have evidence to show that joe biden did anything wrong. Congressman, your responser to that . Pretty much didnt admit that pretty much that evidence shows joe biden lied the american o people when he said he had never spoken to any of these people about anything where joe bide an was meeting with these people. We have emails, we have text wre messages, we have pictures. We have travel logs. L we have travel. O we have sworn testimony from devon archer, who is fronties, and center in a couple of these Shell Companies that joe biden communitn y did with thesey people, in fact, communicated with every Single Person who wired the biden millions and millions of dollars. He even had dinnernner on more n one occasion with these individuals, which we didnt he l lieknow. So joe biden lied when he said his family never got money while he was vice president. Hisamilmoney frhe when he said never got money from china and he lied whenhe le said he r communicated with any of these higoks who were sendin his family, the millions and millions of dollars. So weve proven over and over again that joe biden lied. What i think the evidence shows is joe biden was front and center in this from daywhat one. Devon archer said what they were doing because we want doant to they doy were to receive the millions of dollars. Devon archerns of dos. Said thes selling the brand and the brand biden. Bide congressman, will you commit tonight to Callin G David Weiss to testify before Congress Despite this appointment . Absolutely. Of course we will. Were not going to stowere p. D this is just another day in thef office for us leadinficeg. This investigation of biden corruption. They have obstructed everye obsp of the way. Theyve intimidated our witnesses. Look, when devon archer was sett to come in on monday morning, the doj sent him a letter a saturday and a letter againd sunday. Thats never happened beforebef never has the Department Of Justice sent a letter on a weekend and they camtheye to ona two separate days for the sole purpose of Intimidating Hite Dm they have intimidated every one of our witnesses. The Biden Legal Team intimid abl lowell and company. They have more than crossed l an Crossthe Lineed of witnessh intimidation. You saw what the legalat the tee in the Delaware Court trying to intimidate another personers to something off the website. Theres example afteexamplr the church, but were going to continue to move this inaura yeinvestigation. But the question is, what areknw they trying to hide . And trying to i think everyoneis knows what this is. E i mean, even if theres notxp a check that went to joe biden, whether expenses o weres gett covered for his home or hes just happy his son is getting all this monethis mon y. Sman forwan, we all kind of know what this is. But, congressman, we look forward to that testimony and hes going to give you the heisman. Not going to do it, but were. Going to look forward to it anyway. Congressman, thank you. All right. Jyidens True Priorityou is what are they . Are they on the home front or somewhere else . My discusses that.
