(via David Weiss Named Special Counsel to Investigate Hunter Biden – Rolling Stone)
they get exactly what they wanted...and immediately start whining again:
Rep. Jason Smith (R-Mo.) went on Fox News to call the appointment an “attempt to whitewash the Biden family corruption” and stymie the congressional investigation into Biden. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) agreed, telling Weiss he’s “not off the hook” and that this “Friday afternoon gambit is not going to work.” The House Oversight Committee offered a similar take, releasing a statement alleging that the Justice Department was trying to obstruct its work and calling the appointment a “Biden family coverup.”
The lesson, of course, is that nothing will satisfy Republicans short of Garland appointing Trump himself to investigate Biden. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) whined in February about the Justice Department’s failure to appoint a special counsel, before Fox News reported on Friday that he’s among those upset that it actually did, claiming Weiss isn’t the right man for the job. Sen. Graham was pushing for Weiss to become a special counsel as recently as last month.
The GUY they wanted as special counsel gets appointed, and they get super pissed. I guess that says a LOT about the GOP.
