Last week Attorney General Merrick Garland announced that he was appointing David Weiss to the post of special counsel investigating President Biden’s son, Hunter. Weiss was already working on the same matters in his role as U.S. Attorney. And while there are arguments pro and con as to whether this was necessary, there is no evidence that the decision was rooted in bias for or against Hunter Biden.<\/p>\n

The same cannot be said of the Republicans in Congress. From the moment that Republicans assumed their razor thin majority in the House of Representatives earlier this year, they made it their sole objective to manufacture crackpot conspiracies intended to malign Democrats in general, and the President in particular. They even said so explicitly…<\/p>\n

Seven months later, Republicans have kept their promise to ignore the issues that actually impact the lives of the American people, and instead have devoted themselves to scandal mongering<\/a><\/strong>. In all that time they have utterly failed to produce a shred of evidence of any wrongdoing by Biden or any of his Cabinet officials that Republicans are currently seeking to impeach.<\/p>\n

Consequently, it is not surprising that the GOP is exhibiting a severe measure of hypocrisy with regard to the Hunter Biden special counsel. After insisting furiously for months that a special counsel be named, they are now complaining bitterly for having gotten what they asked for. And their reasoning – if you can call it that – for their outrage is patently absurd. Take, for instance, the GOP chairman of the House Oversight Committee,, James Comer, who raged on Newsmax that…<\/p>\n

“We on the Oversight Committee, for all practical purposes, have been the special counsel for the past six months. We produced more evidence than anyone that’s supposedly investigating this criminal activity by the Biden family. And right as we get to the point that we traced it to Joe Biden, and we’re at a position that we can win in court, to fight their attorneys, and get their actual personal bank records, he comes out with this. This is another attempt to try to obstruct. They’re gonna try to use this in court when they say say ‘No, we can’t give the Oversight Committee our bank records because there’s an ongoing investigation by David Weiss.'”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
