"This is a sham. There is no special counsel investigation," former chief assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew McCarthy explained Friday, after Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed U.S. Attorney David Weiss as special counsel to investigate First Son Hunter Biden's dubious, multi-million dollar financial dealings with foreign actors.
"This is a sham. There is no special counsel investigation and there is no Biden investigation."
"The special counsel regulations, what makes a special counsel 'special,' is that you're a lawyer who's brought in from outside the United States government - not just outside the Justice Department - outside the government."
An individual named as Special Counsel shall be a lawyer with a reputation for integrity and impartial decisionmaking, and with appropriate experience to ensure both that the investigation will be conducted ably, expeditiously and thoroughly, and that investigative and prosecutorial decisions will be supported by an informed understanding of the criminal law and Department of Justice policies.
The Special Counsel shall be selected from outside the United States Government.
Special Counsels shall agree that their responsibilities as Special Counsel shall take first precedence in their professional lives, and that it may be necessary to devote their full time to the investigation, depending on its complexity and the stage of the investigation.
"And, he can't be a special counsel, because he's inside the government - and the point of having a special counsel is to bring in someone from outside the government who we can trust to do a credible investigation."
