Biden appoints a special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden. Former federal prosecutor Andy McCarthy says the move is a sham and illegal. Hunter Biden's plea deal with the DOJ is a sweetheart deal that gives him immunity from most of the charges brought against him.

As of today, the many nasty creatures of the D.C. swamp are thrashing in desperation.
00:00:06.960
The largest of those creatures, at least on the surface, are President Biden,
00:00:11.380
Attorney General Merrick Garland, and now his special counsel, Jack Smith,
00:00:15.940
and U.S. Attorney David Weiss, newly minted special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden.
00:00:22.660
Former federal prosecutor Andy McCarthy says that Biden's purpose in making Weiss a special counsel
00:00:31.180
This is a sham. There is no special counsel investigation, and there is no Biden investigation.
00:00:37.880
The special counsel regulations, what makes a special counsel special is that you're a lawyer
00:00:43.220
who's brought in from outside the United States government, not just outside the Justice Department,
00:00:48.860
outside the government. This U.S. attorney is being appointed, notwithstanding that he is
00:00:55.740
an attorney who's a top official in the Biden Justice Department, and Garland made clear is
00:01:00.420
going to remain a top official in the Biden Justice Department. This is the Biden Justice
00:01:05.260
Department's vehicle for maintaining control of an investigation that they are not pursuing.
00:01:12.000
They've had the case for five years. They've never indicted it. They're strategically allowing the
00:01:17.660
statute of limitations to run to the point that the 2014 and 2015 conduct, which covers most of the
00:01:24.440
$21 million that the congressional investigation report showed this week, that's already time-barred.
00:01:30.720
And it's time-barred because David Weiss himself decided to let those charges die rather than bring
00:01:37.280
an indictment. They're not doing anything that you would do if there was an actual investigation,
00:01:42.240
and he can't be a special counsel because he's inside the government. And the point of having
00:01:47.980
a special counsel is to bring in someone from outside the government who we can trust to do a
00:01:52.500
credible investigation. This is what House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith on Fox said
00:01:58.380
the corrupt Biden regime is doing in appointing David Weiss to special counsel. I think that this
00:02:04.620
should be concerning to all Americans, that this is an attempt to whitewash the Biden family
00:02:10.440
corruption. I mean, Mr. Weiss is the single architect over that sweetheart plea agreement deal that the
00:02:18.760
judge in Delaware threw out just a few weeks ago as saying it was awful and unfair. There were
00:02:24.580
provisions within that sweetheart plea deal that granted complete immunity to Hunter Biden for these
00:02:32.120
crimes and future crimes. And she even stated that she's never seen anything like that before.
00:02:37.480
And who was the architect of that? Now the person who, Garland, who President Biden's Justice
00:02:44.400
Department just appointed to be special counsel. I am very fearful that appointing the special counsel
00:02:49.940
is just an attempt to stonewall Congress's investigation of the Biden family. I've been calling for Biden's
00:02:55.920
impeachment for months, but many Republicans cynically wanted to play politics and cynically believed their
00:03:02.880
better strategy was to leave Biden in place more beatable in 2024, they reasoned. But the right
00:03:09.540
thing is always the best thing. And the right thing is to impeach Biden now. Congressman Greg
00:03:16.980
Stubbe introduced articles of impeachment this week, and Speaker McCarthy would be wise to follow
00:03:22.740
his lead. The passive low-energy RINO speaker will be swept away by the powerful forces of history
00:03:29.080
if he does not immediately do the right thing. The congressional investigating committees,
00:03:35.300
oversight, judiciary, ways and means have already produced more of the compelling evidence of the
00:03:41.600
Biden crimes. Bribery, corruption, dereliction of duty. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert in June
00:03:48.560
introduced articles of impeachment for refusing to secure the border with Mexico and inviting millions of
00:03:55.440
illegal immigrants to enter the United States. Her legislation is before the judiciary and homeland
00:04:01.420
security committees now. And the Daily Mail is reporting that one of Hunter Biden's business
00:04:06.820
partners, Kazakh oligarch Konez Rakeshev, helped supply armored vehicles to Putin-backed forces in the
00:04:14.740
invasion of Ukraine. Seems to be something of a Biden hedge on the outcome of events in Ukraine.
00:04:21.040
Millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars are being sent to 27 Chinese laboratories. Despite the China virus
00:04:28.560
pandemic, the NIH was beyond control and oversight during Dr. Fauci's reign of terror and still seems
00:04:36.160
to be operating autonomously and certainly not in the interest of the United States. And for all you
00:04:42.240
conspiracy theorists in the Great America audience, and there are more than a few, this development from
00:04:47.280
the Gateway Pundit and Jim Hoft. Senator Ron Johnson telling Fox News he believes the China virus
00:04:53.380
pandemic was planned by a group of elites. A group of elites in association with Johns Hopkins, the World
00:05:00.920
Economic Forum, and the Gates Foundation. Johnson was talking about the so-called Event 201 that occurred in
00:05:08.840
2019, a virus pandemic simulation exercise that was conducted well before we knew of what was to emerge from
00:05:16.920
the Wuhan lab. Johnson sits on the permanent subcommittee on investigations and says all of
00:05:23.420
this needs to be exposed. That few people, even in Congress, are willing to take a look at this.
00:05:29.780
Quote, they all push the vaccine. They don't want to admit they were wrong. End of quote.
00:05:36.400
We will be following this story closely, I assure you. I'm Lou Dobbs with this weekend update.
