Congressional republicans are already saying weisss new status makes him a Fire Wall Insulating President Biden and his Justice Department and could actually impede congressional efforts to get to the truth. Look into that. Also tonight, the Justice Department has moved to officially dismiss the now defunked plea deal with the president s son. Correspondent dazed spunt has the details from the Justice Department. Good evening, david. Reporter bret, good evening to you. The legal jeopardy for the president s son only deepens now that this case has Special Counsel status, and we can say tonight that it appears hunter biden is headed for trial. I have concluded that it is in the Public Interest to appoint him as Special Counsel. David weiss, the u. S. Attorney who had been leading the Justice Departments probe of Hunter Bidens tax and Business Dealings now getting a new job title and new legal responsibilities. Reporter mr. Weiss has the authority he needs to conduct a thorough investigat
Announcement that he appointed a Special Counsel to investigate hunter biden was like a really bad practical joke. Here today to announce the appointment of david weiss as a Special Counsel consistent with the Department Of Justice regulations governs such matters. In keeping with those regulations, i have today notified the designated members of each House Of Congress of the appointment. Laura yes, thats the same david weiss who tried to give hunter that Sweetheart Plea Deal before a smart judge stepped in to say not so fast. Now, droned weiss isnt even eligible to be named Special Counsel under the regulation governing his appointment according to section 600. 3, he has to have a reputation for integrity and impartial Decision Making. Now, thats obviously in question, the impartial Decision Making part after how he handled the initial phases of this investigation. And the Special Counsel shall be selected, it says, from outside the government. Okay. Garland is not a stupid man, so im
suggestions. we might use one of yours. we are making these lumps of coal, polishing them into diamonds of questions for the debate. we don t know who s going to be on the stage yet but we re getting closer. thanks for inviting us into your home tonight that s it for yourr special report. fair balanced and still unafraid. the ingraham angle starts next. reporter: okay. . i m laura ingraham this is the ingraham angle thanks for joining us tonight. more signs that democrat panic is building about joe biden s political viability and that it s driving top members of his cabinet to make really dumb moves. also in the angle we ll talk about that, but moments first. just when you thought that biden s justice department couldn t be any more of a laughing stock they surprise you. merrick garland must have thought that august 11th was april 1st because his
around the inflation problem. what we need is a little bad economic news. that would help the marks at this point in time. neil: that s interesting. something that hints at a slow down, something that hints that people are capitulating. what do you tell people that look at this and say oh, no, this is overdone? i m going to dip in? i have a feeling that this is my moment? what do you tell them? well, you know, hope springs eternal. there s always opportunities, neil, as we know. otherwise we wouldn t get up in the morning. this time of year is particularly interesting for investors because the weak stocks tend to get weaker because of tax selling. i don t know why folks wait to the end of the year to take tax losses. it takes to take the weak stocks that have been done most of the year and make them weaker. so in those lumps of coal by the way, neil, they re trading at the year end lows for a
reason. they re usually not positive. you take those lumps of coal, i make a shopping list every year. i m pretty agnostic in terms of what sectors or what the companies do. i look at stocks trading at this year s lows or hopefully multiyear lows and you go through the lumps of coal in the hopes that you find a few diamonds. every year we do manage to find a few diamonds. the problem is this is a short-term trade type of tactic. it s not a fundamentally long-term trade kind of tactic. within this year s list, i must say there are some pretty interesting companies, some good companies that for one reason or another are trading at their lows. there s tesla and apple.
