1. And nothing will be found. The END.

[AZSkiffyGeek]

2. And Republicans can't claim the DoJ/Biden are interfering with the investigation nt

[comradebillyboy]

14. Sure they can. They never let facts get in the way of their story.

4. Hunter Biden is a Russian talking point .... this is from the republican controlled senate ...

.... intel committee.

Attacks on Biden and his son, Hunter, were part of this operation. Through “US officials and prominent US individuals, some of whom were close to former President Trump and his administration,” the report says Russia’s intelligence services “repeatedly spread unsubstantiated or misleading claims about President Biden and his family’s alleged wrongdoing related to Ukraine.” In this way, Trump’s circle “laundered” the Russian-planted stories, which were then recirculated—and promoted by Russia’s online proxies—as American news.

10. I'm confident nothing will be found linking to Joe

I do think there is a possibility Hunter was using his name to fish for 'gifts' - peddling influence he didn't have and favors Joe would never grant.

There was a lot of money flowing to Hunter that he simply isn't worth on his own merits.

This is best. Investigate it properly, and clear the shadow on Joe. I do hate this for how hard it will be on Joe though, especially if Hunter was cashing in.

3. No, it isn't; on the contrary, it's a brilliant bit of judo.

Garland is simply making Weiss, the US Attorney on the case from the beginning, a special counsel. That way the GOP can't claim Garland, the AG, is under Biden's thumb, while Weiss can just stay on the case and finish it up without claims he's being controlled by Garland.

5. Yup!

[SickOfTheOnePct]

6. Exactly

I think it’s brilliant. If there is nothing there, then there is nothing there. And if there is, then so be it.

7. suck on that MAGA assholes!!!

[Johnny2X2X]

8. That's still not a good thing

The prosecutor who just renegged on the deal he and Hunter's attorneys had in place now has no DOJ oversight. There was a fair deal in place and Weiss caved to Republican pressure to cancel the deal.

[Botany]

9. Yes, I know that but it will give life to the "Hunter Biden and his crimes" meme

The truth be damned but the right wing will take this as a chance to pimp the Hunter Biden is
dirty story just like they pimped the HRC and her emails or John Kerry wasn't a hero in Vietnam
or .....

[LenaBaby61]

11. EXACTLY!!!

5 years of investigating and nothing but what's been found has been found.

Even that slob Bill Barr reviewed the Hunter Biden case, took a look at the evidence of Hunter's laptop which was never a laptop, but a Russian-made hard drive of disinformation, lies and pics hacked off of Hunter Biden's cell phone that pervert Rudy went over to Europe to get so that they could set Hunter Biden up. Barr was that so-called FAKE SMOKING GUN 'laptop' and what did he do?

NOTHING.

NO good judge would allow anything dealing with that fake hard drive to be admitted into court as evidence and especially not when the likes of filthy racist Rudy, child molester Gaetz and Nazi Bannon served as a major chain of custody and have ALL had their ffilthy hands on that russian, corrupt so-called laptop which is really a russian hard drive, courtesy of putin.

12. Hunter isn't president nor has a role in this admin so no biggie

[dlk]

13. Weiss was tired of Republicans haranguing him about this matter

This appointment gets Weiss out of their line of fire, for now. It also distracts rabid Republicans from Trump’s criminal hearing today.

15. When you placate the Far Wrong, er, Right, you will regret it.

[Botany]

16. It does not matter that in the end it will most likely be shown that their is no there there

.... the right wing media, right wing trolls, and the Russian backed disinformation machine will now
talk 24/7 about the new Hunter Biden investigation.

[Hugin]

17. To prepare for a Special Counsel investigation into Hunter Biden, we need to review a few things...

Trump paid hush money to a porn star.
Trump forcibly raped a woman.
Trump violated the emoluments clause six ways from Sunday.
Trump turned over a military base to the Russians in Syria lock, stock, and barrel.
Trump stole and hid hundreds of classified US government documents at all levels of classification.
Trump incited an armed insurrection on January sixth 2021.
Trump threatened to murder his own Vice President in order to overthrow the US government.

I'm sure you can come up with a few hundred more...

18. Garland, who the heck are you???

[Initech]

19. Are you fucking kidding me???

When can we collectively tell Fox News where they can go shove their bullshit?

[Botany]

20. It doesn't matter that there is no their there this will allow the right wing to push their ....

... Hunter Biden B.S..
