A particular counsel being named to probe the Hunter Biden mess had Republicans rapidly calling out the DOJ — and former VP Mike Pence knocking the president’s son for his boozing and dealing methods.
“To be honest, I can’t relate to what Joe Biden’s son was doing when he was Vice President. When I was Vice President, my son was flying an F-35 for the Marine Corp defending this country,” Pence mentioned in a marketing campaign assertion.
Former President Donald Trump wasn’t as restrained.
“Crooked Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, and the entire Biden Crime Family have been protected by the Justice Department for decades even though there is overwhelming evidence and credible testimony detailing their wrongdoing of lying to the American people and selling out the country to foreign enemies,” a Trump spokesman mentioned Friday.
Attorney General Merrick Garland introduced earlier that he’s appointed a particular counsel — David Weiss, the U.S. legal professional in Delaware — to look into Hunter Biden’s dealings.
Garland mentioned he expects Weiss to get cracking in an “even-handed and urgent” method.
It all comes because the 2024 presidential election is as sizzling as this summer time with Trump approach forward in all of the polls on the GOP aspect — and in a statistical tie with Joe Biden head-to-head, in line with a Real Clear Politics common.
Some, in a single New Hampshire ballot, say they’d nonetheless vote for Trump even when he was in jail. Trump faces 4 prison instances. They embrace the Jan. 6 Capitol riot case; classifieds paperwork in Mar-a-Lago; a New York hush cash case; and, Georgia election meddling probe.
Others within the GOP are equally suspicious.
“This action by Biden’s DoJ cannot be used to obstruct congressional investigations or whitewash the Biden family corruption,” House Republican speaker Kevin McCarthy tweeted. “House Republicans will continue to pursue the facts for the American people.”
Pence echoed that sentiment, additionally.
“I think it’s about time that we saw the appointment of a special counsel to get to the bottom of not only what Hunter Biden was doing, but what the Biden family was doing. The American people deserve answers and I welcome the appointment.”
