A quick prediction about Weiss

[Glennfs]

I have another 300 miles to run here is a quick prediction.
The first time he finds damning evidence against Hunter every lefty here will declare him a republican plant or a Russian operative or some other such nonsense.

I believe not one progressive here will go on record today saying they will accept his findings no matter where they lay.

No. I will NOT. On neither. I will happily go on record that I will trust what the Special Counsel has to say and do. Let the chips fall where they may. You can mark my words. I think David Weiss is a honest, respectable investigator. Your problem is you think he'll put Joe Biden in prison, and you won't accept any less.

And the right has already gone into orbit about this! https://www.rawstory.com/james-comer-2663359031/

Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed David Weiss as special counsel to oversee the investigation into Hunter Biden -- but Rep. James Comer (R-KY) is still not happy.

Fox News' Chad Pergram reports that Comer lashed out at Garland for appointing a special prosecutor to investigate the president's son, despite the fact that such an appointment makes it more likely that Biden will face prison time for his alleged misdeeds.

"This move by Attorney General Garland is part of the Justice Department’s efforts to attempt a Biden family coverup in light of the House Oversight Committee’s mounting evidence of President Joe Biden’s role in his family’s schemes selling 'the brand,' for millions of dollars to foreign nationals," Comer said, according to Pergram. "Let’s be clear what today’s move is really about. The Biden Justice Department is trying to stonewall congressional oversight as we have presented evidence to the American people about the Biden family’s corruption."

In fact, Republicans in the House of Representatives have not yet found any direct link between Biden and his son's overseas business dealings.

So it sounds to me like it's YOUR side that won't accept the findings unless they are what you want.

[Glennfs]

That is a fact true of both sides

[gounion]

No, your side just makes shit up.

Like Comer going nuts because Weiss was made a Special Counsel. He said his committee was about to uncover all kinds of evidence of Joe Biden’s bribery, but this appointment blocked them.

He’s a lying sack of shit. And this is the party you support.

[Toonces]

The GOP don't think he's going to find anything damning.

They kept calling for Weiss to have special counsel privileges and now they're upset he has them. Possibly, it might be that the complaining was the thing, making accusations of favoritism. It's a great opportunity to cry foul, to complain about the process. Of course, should any investigation return anything less than damning evidence, they'll have lost this particular battle. It's much easier to score political points with the outrage they were enjoying, now it's been snatched away. Once again, the dog has caught the car.

The proper response would have been to say "We support this appointment". But anger about it seems to indicate, to me, that they know how it will go.

Yep.

Republicans demanded David Weiss be appointed Special Prosecutor and the GOP Senate even sent a letter to Merrick Garland. You can view the document below, and all the Republican signatures. So their bluff is called and now theses exact same people are complaining about the appointment. This is nothing but sham theatre. These are not serious people and the cons who post here enjoy being played.

the signatures include folks such as Rubio, Graham, Blackburn, Cotton, Cruz, Grassley, Coryne, McConnell, Ernst, Johnson, Rick Scott, Hawley, Lee, etc.

Wow, you hit the nail on the head. The Committee has found NOTHING, they’re just twisting in the wind. Now that the Special Counsel has been appointed, they’re going to say he’s blocking them from their investigation.

What a fucking joke they are. It’s just a crazed snipe hunt.

So, Special Counsel David Weiss has indicted Hunter Biden on three gun-related charges. https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/14/politics ... index.html

Glenn blows it again, I have no problem with these. Of course the right DOES, in that they've been fighting such laws on gun ownership, saying that these laws interfere with Constitutional rights to gun ownership.

As a matter of fact, one has already been knocked down by an appeals court:

The gun possession law Hunter Biden is accused of breaking is already on shaky legal ground after an August ruling by an appeals court covering three southern states that declared the statute unconstitutional.

Last month, a New Orleans-based federal appeals court struck down the decades-old law, saying it violated the Second Amendment in a case concerning a man who was convicted under it in 2022.

“In short, our history and tradition may support some limits on an intoxicated person’s right to carry a weapon, but it does not justify disarming a sober citizen based exclusively on his past drug usage,” Circuit Judge Jerry Smith, a Ronald Reagan appointee, wrote for the three-judge panel. “Nor do more generalized traditions of disarming dangerous persons support this restriction on nonviolent drug users.”

The ruling by the Fifth Circuit, which oversees Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas, means that other defendants convicted under the law in those states could seek to bring new challenges to their convictions, but it has no legal bearing in Biden’s case, which was brought in Delaware.

So where do you stand, Conservatives? Are you for gun rights, or just not for them when it concerns people you don't like?

Let's remember that it was Ronald Reagan who said blacks shouldn't have the right to have assault weapons.

If Hunter broke the law, punish him accordingly. The same type of sentence someone not named Hunter Biden would have gotten.

I agree. But not sure someone else would have gotten a federal indictment via a Special Counsel.

Gonna get expensive moving forward for a Special Counsel for each federal gun charge, eh?

[gounion]

Lots of experts are saying these charges are unheard of for what this was.

I have a question for our conservatives, which, of course, they won't answer: Should you go to prison on federal charges any time you lie on a federal document? Does it matter if they are the son of a a President? Yes or no?

[gounion]

Okay, here's the proof that this isn't about justice in any way, it's about getting Joe Biden. https://www.rawstory.com/james-comer-hu ... 665402042/

ep. James Comer (R-KY) lashed out at the Justice Department on Thursday after Hunter Biden was indicted on gun-related charges.

"That's one of about a dozen crimes that Hunter Biden's committed," Comer snapped after learning of the indictments. "And ironically, that's the one crime that he committed that you cannot tie Joe Biden to."

"You wanted an indictment," Fox News correspondent Chad Pergram noted.

"You've never heard me say anything about gun charges," Comer griped. "That was an easy charge. You've heard the IRS whistleblowers testify on the Oversight Committee as to all the tax evasion crimes."

"Are you suggesting there's something nefarious there, that they're trying to keep it in that lane and keep it away from your investigation?" Pergram pressed. "That sounds like you're suggesting there's some foul play going on with how they're handling these."

Comer insisted he was "not suggesting anything."

"I'm just stating that you can't tie Joe Biden into it," he said.

That's all this is about for the right. They want to put Joe Biden in prison, and this isn't getting it done, so they are pissed.

On another note, Congressman Jim Jordan says the GOP should shut the government down if they don't cut the funding of Special Counsel Jack Smith.

NONE of these bastards care about the people of this country.

The proper thing to do would be for Garland to appoint someone who hadn’t been working on the case for 5 years and who was currently outside of DOJ. Since you brought it up.

What fucked-up bullshit.

Let's go to the reactions board and see if the right is content with these indictments.

Of course, they're not. It's all a cover-up, they're saying, to protect Joe Biden. (somehow)

Joe himself said he wouldn't accept ANYTHING except Joe Biden impeached and imprisoned. This proves it.

Damnit, we missed the opportunity to say "The proper thing to do would be for Barr to appoint someone who [Mueller] hadn’t been working on the case for 5 years and who was currently outside of DOJ. Since you brought it up".

Not sure what you mean. Mueller when he was appointed was retired as I recall.

Yeah, you don't get much, do you?

So, you've shown all you care about Joe Biden, not Hunter.

Please show where he has said that. Of course you can't because you are lying

Yes, he has, and he PROVES it with every post. If this was about Hunter, he’d be cheering. But instead he’s pissed.

No you are lying or you could produce a link showing him saying those words.
This is your old I know what you really mean deal.

[gounion]

He fucking says them every day.

He has said if nothing is done to Joe Biden, it would “Never go away”.

He’s not interested in facts. Like you, he believes the shit that Rudy has fed you guys.

You KNOW there is NO EVIDENCE of ANY wrongdoing by President Biden, but you just don’t give a shit. You want him gone anyway.

As predicted you are trashing the charges and the prosecutor
