Jim Jordan smelled a rat with the shock appointment of a special counsel to investigate Huner and the Biden family as the GOP accused Merrick Garland of orchestrating a coverup to stonewall Congress where the GOP has Biden by the tail.
Jim Jordan said: “First, David Weiss said he didn’t have the power he needed and wanted special counsel status. Then, he said he had all the power he needs. Now, he gets special counsel status because he didn’t really have the power he needs? Something’s not right.”
“This move by Attorney General Garland is part of the Justice Department’s efforts to attempt a Biden family coverup in light of the House Oversight Committee’s mounting evidence of President Joe Biden’s role in his family’s schemes selling ‘the brand,’ for millions of dollars to foreign nationals,” James Comer said.
“Let’s be clear what today’s move is really about. The Biden Justice Department is trying to stonewall congressional oversight as we have presented evidence to the American people about the Biden family’s corruption.”
Kevin McCarthy said: “This action by Biden’s DOJ cannot be used to obstruct congressional investigations or whitewash the Biden family corruption.
“If Weiss negotiated the sweetheart deal that couldn’t get approved, how can he be trusted as a Special Counsel?
“House Republicans will continue to pursue the facts for the American people.”
The House GOP said: “David Weiss can’t be trusted and this is just a new way to whitewash the Biden family’s corruption.
“Weiss has already signed off on a sweetheart plea deal that was so awful and unfair that a federal judge rejected it.
First, David Weiss said he didn’t have the power he needed and wanted special counsel status.
Then, he said he had all the power he needs.
Now, he gets special counsel status because he didn’t really have the power he needs?
Something’s not right.
