Part 1/9:
A Mockery of Justice and Power: The Hunter Biden Investigation and Political Circus
The Appointment of a Special Counsel: An Overdue Cover-Up
In an apparent effort to restore public faith in the Department of Justice (DOJ), federal prosecutor David Weiss has been appointed as a special counsel to oversee his own long, winding investigation into Hunter Biden. Critics have derided this move as a blatantly cynical attempt at a cover-up, given Weiss's history of missteps and the fact that he's a federal employee answerable to President Joe Biden. The investigation, which was marred by delays and mismanagement, ultimately allowed charges against Hunter to expire due to the statute of limitations before resulting in a plea deal that collapsed upon superficial court review.
