Republican chairmen from three separate House committees sent the letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland, giving the top DOJ official until Sept. 11 to comply with their demands.

“Your appointment raises numerous concerns considering earlier statements from you and Mr. Weiss that Mr. Weiss already had ‘ultimate’ authority — free of any political pressure — to pursue the investigation” however he wished, the lawmakers wrote.

“Now, recently reported information raises additional concerns about the Department’s unusual actions in this matter, and suggests that the Department under your leadership has been attempting to circumvent the rule of law in favor of Hunter Biden, President Biden, and the Biden family,” the lawmakers wrote. “Given the extremely serious nature of these issues, the Committees expect unfettered cooperation with our oversight from both you and the Department.”

Thirty-three Republican senators on Monday demanded Attorney General Merrick Garland give the attorney probing Hunter Biden special counsel powers and protections.

So the GOP demanded that Weiss be given special counsel powers and protections and when that happens they want to investigate that because it looks suspicious?

It’s like they’re not even trying anymore.
Or alternatively, this is the best that they can do given the inmates have taken over the asylum.

so much political/legal wrangling going on with the goings on with the Bidens .... it really does need to be investigated throughly and if there isn't full cooperation within the government system then that is of deep concern as well .... if there isn't anything to "hide" then whats the problem?

Hmmm... just some musing here....

The prosecutor who allowed some charges to go past the Statute of Limitations and then help orchestrate a failed plea bargain because of the clause that guaranteed no further charges could be filed on any other investigation - is now the special prosecutor and we think that is a good thing?

You have issues with the prosecutor Trump appointed?

Would you prefer a Biden appointee?

I shan’t accuse you of feigning ignorance.
Shan’t? Who says shan’t in 2023?

You still have not answered the question. It’s not like everyone thinks the same as you do.
