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.
