Will Hunter and Trump share a cell?

Minutes after Garland announced Weiss would become special counsel, Justice Department lawyers asked the court in Delaware to allow them to withdraw the case against Hunter Biden so charges could be refiled in Washington, D.C., and California, which they said were the proper venues to resolve the allegations. They said talks about a plea deal were at an impasse and the case now appears headed for trial.

It's a race. Now we'll see who goes to jail first, Donald or Joe.

NYT ran an editorial where Hunter Biden was peddling influence just as Clarence Thomas was.

Only, one is a judge who will never get penalized.

Jonathan Chait of New York magazine has compared Hunter Biden to the Supreme Court justices who have accepted large gifts from private citizens. “In American politics, the worst abuses by powerful people usually involve clever ways to exploit the law without committing crimes,” Chait wrote.

From Threads:
This is a shot of the letter that 33 Senate Republicans sent to Merrick Garland last September demanding Davie Weiss be made Special Counsel. Today? Republicans are alarmed and furious that Garland has done as requested.
LOL

. In their subpoena letters, Republicans argue that the IRS and DOJ have not cooperated in making the individuals they requested available for voluntary transcribed interviews.

The subpoenas to IRS Director of Field Operations Michael Batdorf, IRS Special Agent in Charge Darrell Waldon, FBI Special Agent in Charge Thomas Sobocinski, and FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge Ryeshia Holley come as Republicans seek to learn more about what IRS whistleblowers revealed to Congress about a key October 7, 2022, meeting with Weiss.

Special Counsel gets to his work:
Before he was appointed special counsel, Weiss had offered to testify on Capitol Hill after lawmakers returned from August recess. However, past practice suggests Weiss’ newfound status could insulate him from doing so until the investigation is complete and he has finished the report he’s expected to deliver.

BUT
Whistleblowers all over the place.

Yeah, Jonathan Turley (author of the article) is a Republican bootlicker and a craven hack who's been bleating about Hunter Biden for years and is happy to spread misinformation. Just one example from that article:

Shokin was later fired at Joe Biden’s demand.

He knows damn well that the EU and the US both (including Biden as a representative of the Obama administration) had been pressuring Ukraine to kick Shokin to the curb for months before the Ukraine parliament did so.

[S]ources ranging from former Obama administration officials to an anti-corruption advocate in Ukraine say the official, Viktor Shokin, was ousted for the opposite reason Trump and his allies claim.

It wasn't because Shokin was investigating a natural gas company tied to Biden's son; it was because Shokin wasn't pursuing corruption among the country's politicians, according to a Ukrainian official and four former American officials who specialized in Ukraine and Europe.

Shokin's inaction prompted international calls for his ouster and ultimately resulted in his removal by Ukraine's parliament.

The dispute comes from the fact that Republicans seem to see no contradiction in calling rumors and speculation absolutely damning when applied to Hunter Biden (Where there’s smoke there’s fire, we just haven’t found the fire yet, but you better believe it exists and is the worst thing EVAH!!! Proof in two weeks. Just wait.) all the while denying objective, verifiable, repeatable proof of trump’s many and varied crimes as pure political interference that should never happen.

Simply, they think it’s not purely political to repeatedly attack your opponent’s deeply flawed son, even to the point of showing his dick pics in a session of congress, and to scream about a crime family with no proof whatsoever. But it is purely political to investigate crimes involving overturning a US election and stealing government secrets and lying about it. “Democrats are just trying to detail his candidacy, no other reason. Purely political.”
