I will. And I will only let Bill know anyway.

How? By DM I presume.

Great. Nothing more to talk about until the evidence is presented then.

 

Please, no more talk from the GOP about the existence of evidence that never materialises. We had enough of that from Rudy, Sidney and the Pillow nutter.

Jolly, who recently said voters are rejecting Republican extremism in record numbers, appeared on American Voices with Alicia Menendez where he was asked about the political ramifications of Republicans demanding a special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden, only to call the appointment of one a "sham."

 

"They will run the messaging through November even if David Weiss never actually brings charges. Republican messaging is locked in on this."

OK. I'll let you know.

Thank you.

 

I still won't be holding my breath though.

Yep, prolly better not. They do say that requested evidence has been regularly held up by the holders of it.

It's precisely because they keep saying that we have now got a special counsel.

For now, yes.

Just saying no isn't enough. If you don't provide a rationale why it's not, then I'm not obliged to explain further.

Nothing has 'fizzled'. Link to Hannity please.

If I supply the link to Hannity will you concede their case has fizzled?

Sounds good. I can't stand any more of that.

Are you related to Weiss?

Thanks for making it clear that it's pointless to supply you with information.

I doubt that has FA to do with it.

It just rang of another dodgy deal is all.

if a Special Counsel were assigned to investigate me (or anyone else), given enough time, they will find something to charge. So, Hunter Biden will probably go down for something.

 

And I certainly won't vote for him for president.

Lol, republicans themselves, including the ones shouting hardest now, asked for Weiss to be appointed special counsel.

Yes, a year ago, in the hope that there would be some action - before it was plain that Weiss had no intention of doing his job - it seems the opposite if anything.

I gave a reason. Care to put up yours?

Yes. I don't see Garland caring what the GOP says. Now Weiss has been 'promoted' to SC then I see that as increasing the chances that nothing will happen and that the clock runs out.

Now, eleven months on since that request, the same group can see that it is obvious that Weiss was working to protect Hunter Biden. They suspect Weiss because he was the one who negotiated the ridiculous immunity plea deal, that was rejected by a judge recently.

 

So, as far as the GOP is concerned, as a US Attorney, and after four years on this case, Weiss is not special at all and should not be SC. Now Blackburn et al are saying just that, as per the Yahoo story: 

 

Attorney General Merrick Garland “knows Weiss will protect Hunter,” Blackburn scoffed in a social media post on Saturday. 

 

 

“If Weiss negotiated the sweetheart deal that couldn’t get approved, how can he be trusted as a Special Counsel?” McCarthy said in his post.

Looks like Republicans have already made up their minds that Hunter is guilty and are frustrated by their inability to find evidence of a major crime.  Worse still, they can't connect President Biden to anything illegal.

 

Rather than accept that there is nothing there, they choose to believe in a deep state conspiracy.  I'm not surprised.

Yet Wiess and Hunter Biden’s attorneys also clashed over whether the agreement would protect the president’s son from additional charges in the future. At one point, Weiss said the investigation into Hunter Biden was ongoing, but he would not share details on the inquiry.

 

It was not just the judge but also a dispute with the prosecutors and Hunters attorneys.

I really don't think the Republicans would make the claims they are making if no evidence has been found. Comer says their hearings have been frustrated by the slow pace, obstruction and stonewalling of the DOJ and FBI.  Any connection to President Biden may or not emerge once the oversight committee is given all of what it has requested - of course the way things have gone so far, if all that information ever gets to Comer, that would be a huge surprise.

Why don't you? Which republicans are on this oversight committee who aren't famous for telling lies. Space lasers!
