it appeared to me based on what i experienced, the u.s. attorney in delaware was constantly ham strung and marginalized by doj officials as well as other u.s. attorneys. i should note the u.s. attorney they are referring to was appointed by the former president donald trump and has defended his decision to let hunter biden plead guilty to tax misdemeanors and a felony gun charge. david weiss has insisted that he had the ultimate authority on what the charge would have looked like for hunter biden. the top called out his republican colleagues. one thing you will not hear today is any evidence of wrongdoing by president joe biden or his administration. like every other trial by our colleagues to concoct a scandal about president biden, this one is a complete and total bust. here to break down today s hearing, my colleague, john miller. you have a background in law

hearing, my colleague john miller, john, you obviously have a background in law enforcement and what congressman raskin was trying to say is that they basically was a tug of war between investigators and prosecutors and nothing more than that. what do you think? well i mean the problem is that caitlin, the very reason that the justice department appointed david weiss to this job was that he was a trump -appointed u.s. attorney who they left in place along the idea that whatever decision came to would not be questioned on political grounds. because he s a donald trump appointee who theoretically would have been calling it down the middle. and i have worked with the irs criminal deficient before on cases, they are very good, very thorough. and these two nations are very credible when they get their testimony and their background of the case that they ve worked on. the issue is, as you framed it that you put together your best case and then prosecutors look at and say that i would have
