The Great Cover-up is now underway. With an active investigation of Hunter Biden by a Special Counsel, Weiss, all questions by Congress will be met by flat statements....'That matter is under investigation and we have no comment at this time.'

Good for the Crime Boss, Joe Biden too because Weiss will take all congressional witnesses off the table with claims they are part of his investigation. There goes the 'laptop from hell' too....part of the Special Counsel investigation.

What the House should do in the face of getting stiff-armed by the cover-up artists is to defund the DOJ by about 25f% of their funding. Ditto the FBI and then, withdraw all funds from Jack Smith's prosecutions and totally defund his job...by name.

Fox News contributor and George Washington law professor Jonathan Turley said Friday on “Outnumbered” that Attorney General Merrick Garland appointing David Weiss as special counsel in the Hunter Biden criminal case would make it harder for Congress to ask questions in their probe of Hunter Biden.

Turley said, “This new status can slow that process down. Weiss was at the top of the list of Congress to be brought in to explain why did you allow statute of limitations to run? Why were Biden people tipped off about raids? Why was there interference with investigators trying to interview Hunter Biden? All of those questions are now likely to be delayed before they are answered.”

He continued, “The initial concern is whether Weiss is damaged goods. You usually appoint special counsel who will satisfy all sides, that is someone who doesn’t bring baggage to the question and can resolve issues. These whistleblowers were critical of Weiss. Weiss suggested that he always had this authority. The whistleblowers said he said the opposite to staff, suggested he allowed statute of limitations to run, that is not the suggestion of the Department of Justice. The reappointment of Weiss will raise questions. As for the congressional the investigation, there no question that making him special counsel will now make it more difficult for Congress to get answers from him and from the investigation.”

Turley added, “What Congress expected is that given the essential closure of the tax issues, he could respond to whistleblowers, this insulates Weiss and the Department of Justice more than moves the investigation forward. It does not appear that Garland expanded the mandate, he changed the status of Weiss and he is going to be able now to say there is ongoing investigation, I’d love to answer questions, but pound sand.”

Nope, but that's what your boy is trying to do with his own cases.

Now, let's see a special counsel looking into Ivanka and Jared, and all of the money they're *still* making after deals they made when her father was in the White House.

Oh, there will be voices who will proclaim this is the beginning of the end for Joe and Hunter, but that’s nonsense. We don’t do pretending on these pages. What happened today was an agreement between USAO David Weiss and US Attorney General Merrick Garland to fortify a silo of protection around the Biden family.

The shift in David Weiss from an investigative US Attorney to an officially appointed Special Counsel [SEE pdf HERE], is nothing more than loading the new color spray paint into the cannister. Pesky House Oversight Committee inquiry now hits the block of an “ongoing investigation,” a purposeful deployment of a DC replay we have seen repeatedly in the last several years. The cancer of corruption is institutionally metastatic.

We know the specific motives of USAO David Weiss as a result of the conflict between his public statements, letters to congress and the private statements he gave in meetings with IRS investigators. Toward the public, Weiss said he had full autonomy and power to investigate Hunter Biden; however, in private he told four investigators the decision-making was not his. The public statements were refuted and affirmed by two investigators who were witness to his private statements and gave testimony under oath.
