Sen.LindseyGrahamSC calls Garland's announcement of David Weiss being appointed special counsel the 'dumbest dumber-than-dirt political move' READ: LindseyGraham DavidWeiss HunterBiden BidenCrimeFamily JoeBiden Left Democrat Republicans US…
Weiss was appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland on Friday after he led the investigation since 2019 based on allegations of"certain criminal conduct by, among others, Robert Hunter Biden," according to Garland. Graham called the announcement a"dumbest dumber-than-dirt political move" for its timing on a Friday afternoon.
Republicans in Congress have shared criticism over Weiss's authority in the investigation that appeared to limit him. Criticisms were partly based, at least in part, on testimony from two IRS whistleblowers who had worked with the Department of Justice on the Biden case. "Does anybody in their right mind trust the Weiss team to continue to fairly and impartially investigate the Hunter Biden-Joe Biden matter? I don’t," Graham went on to say."So, you change the title, but the problem is still the same.”"This was a political decision, not a legal decision," Graham posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, after his interview."They were trying to put out a fire, but they actually poured gasoline on it.
It will be up to Weiss to write a report on whether to prosecute Biden or not. Biden recently had his plea deal fail and has pleaded not guilty to both tax charges against him.
