In the game of high-stakes poker that is the presidency, every move holds crucial importance. This sentiment holds true for the House Republicans as they navigate the Biden family scandal, facing both opportunity and peril with their next bet.
The appointment of Delaware prosecutor David Weiss as special counsel in the probe of Hunter Biden by Attorney General Merrick Garland emphasizes the cynical nature of Garland’s actions. It is evident that his aim is to divert attention away from the Biden case, safeguarding Joe Biden’s reputation ahead of the election.
One aspect of protecting President Biden is the requirement for Weiss to produce a public report as part of the special counsel rule. Garland and Weiss will likely use this as a means to justify offering Hunter Biden an incredibly lenient plea deal, which fortunately fell through under scrutiny from the judiciary.
However, the evidence uncovered by House GOP-led investigations so far reveals massive amounts of foreign money flowing through shell company accounts linked to Hunter Biden, involving numerous family members. Furthermore, testimonies from IRS whistleblowers have accused Garland’s Justice Department of favoritism towards President Biden and Hunter Biden.
Recent revelations have shown that Weiss was prepared to allow Hunter Biden to go free without pleading guilty to any crime until the whistleblowers came forward. At that point, the prosecutor quickly changed course, demanding a guilty plea for two misdemeanors.
The surprising aspect of this discovery is that it emerged from The New York Times, a publication that has largely ignored the scandal until now, acknowledging its potential as a political problem for the president. The Times based its findings on hundreds of pages of correspondence between prosecutors and defense lawyers as well as anonymous sources.
Hence, it becomes clear that Weiss is unsuitable for any role in this case or any other. The blatant favoritism shown towards the Bidens, coupled with the repeated prosecutions of Republican Donald Trump, highlights a despicable double standard within the FBI and federal law enforcement. However, the situation also presents a dilemma for Republicans.
While impeaching Weiss through a party-line House vote may seem tempting, it would likely prove fruitless due to the requirement of 67 votes for conviction and removal in the Senate. Additionally, it is unlikely to prompt any action from Garland. Instead, one alternative suggested by an insider is for House leaders to use all available tools to force Weiss to testify about the case, showcasing a newfound dedication to pursuing felony charges against Hunter Biden.
Given Weiss’ national jurisdiction as special counsel, he could argue that he is following leads across multiple states, including Washington, DC, and California, and that he is willing to pursue them all the way to the Oval Office if necessary. If Weiss refuses to cooperate, the GOP could adopt a confrontational approach, blocking spending measures and bombarding the White House and Justice Department with subpoenas.
Another avenue for investigation lies in the curious absence of Garland’s involvement in Weiss’ decision-making, as highlighted by The New York Times. It is nonsensical to think that the Delaware US attorney can make decisions on such a prominent case regarding the president’s family without input from the attorney general. This raises questions about Garland’s role in approving Weiss’ lenient decisions on Hunter Biden, leaving Garland vulnerable now that Weiss has been exposed for playing politics with the case.
Garland must now make significant decisions regarding his course of action. The omission of his role in Weiss’ actions by The New York Times could serve as a wake-up call. Ultimately, the GOP’s message to Garland should be that he must treat the Biden family the same way any other family would be treated or risk serious damage to his reputation as evidence continues to emerge implicating the President.
The Republicans hold the trump card in this situation. They are aware that Joe Biden essentially sold his vice presidency to the highest bidder, and their task now is to provide the proof. Once that happens, it will be game over for the Bidens and their defenders.
