David Weiss, the special counsel in the Hunter Biden case, told House Republicans today that he was the lone, and ultimate “decision maker” and “at no time blocked” from doing anything he wanted, according to his opening remarks before a closed-door committee interview.

The Comer-Jordan-Gaetz theory is that Joe biden and Merrick Garland prevented Weiss from doing his job.
Recommended by both democratic Delaware Senators, he was one of only two District Attorneys retained by Biden, no doubt happy by Weiss's refusal to do anything with regards to Hunter Biden.
How many times are the 3 stooges on that committee going to push their ridiculous theory? The very man at the heart of it says it never happened.
"When he was specifically asked, did you ever request special attorney authority under Section 515, Mr. Weiss's response was yes, in the spring of 2022. So that that goes to the heart of the matter. He requested it was not given that request and never had that authority throughout the time and yet he pretends that somehow he did have that.
And then finally, of course, on October 8 of this year, he gets special counsel status when he requests that from the Attorney General
. So to me, that's the key takeaway. He won't answer a lot of questions. But that's the key takeaway, because this whole deposition was about the changing story we got from DOJ, regarding the authority that he had. And that answer, I think the key is, is entirely consistent with what Mr. Shapley said after the October 7, 2022 meeting, when he said USA Weiss requested Special Counsel authority when it was sent to DC and Main DOJ denied his request and told him to follow the process. So once again Shapley and Ziegler's testimony continues to stand up to every single witness we brought in for an interview."
If he had already had the authority, why did he need special counsel status? The special counsel appointment in October, 2023 makes no sense if you believe he already had all the authority he needed.
100%. And it's not even debatable. I invite anyone who thinks otherwise to refuse to pay taxes this year and see if the DOJ, when it learns of your failure to pay, will simply let the SOL expire without any punishment or even restitution, which the DOJ did for Biden in 2014 and 2015. His 2016 and 2017 taxes were paid by a Democratic donor.
It's impossible to learn the details of what actually happened and not believe Hunter Biden was protected, to an extraordinary degree. Which is why these "rebuttal" stories avoid all of the details of what happened and focus on meaningless semantic disputes.
Jim Jordan is a clown.
If you start trolling this article you are going be deleted.
Damn right! How dare he post an opposing opinion!
Yes, JR that is true, but you are forgetting where he came from
As usual, the headline misleads as the democrats trust people won't pay attention to details and will simply swallow whatever spin they were told.
Weiss actually confirmed the IRS whistleblower's testimony and contradicted Garland. He requested special attorney status in 2022 inn order to bring charges in California and was denied.
What is the point of the continuing right wing witch hunt on this particular matter?
Its simple. Donald Trump, their god, wants it.
It's called following the evidence, of which there is a lot. It's common knowledge the whole Biden clan is corrupt.
After all, the left carried investigations against Trump to hell and back.
Knowing you are from Chicago, I guess you assume that children of politicians getting special treatment from law enforcement is how government operates. Some people think that's a bad idea and entitled kids should have to follow the law like the rest of us with no strings pulled in their favor. .
Why did he request it in 2023 if he always had the power to pursue the investigation? Why didn't he mention in his opening statement that he was denied special attorney (different than special counsel) status in 2022, which he then admitted during the interview?
He's just playing semantic games to distract from his actions.
Agreed. And if he always had the power to pursue the investigations, why did he also not mention that he tried to partner with the U.S. attorney's in both the District of Columbia and the central district of California and both declined to partner with him in an investigation and/or charges.
That's the argument now? Lol.. Just pretending the lobbying industry doesn't exist?
That's literally the whole point of lobbying, exploiting political connections. It's why so many former office holders become lobbyists.
They dont need no stinking evide
Of course they have evidence, including a verified money trail.
Why won't Biden simply produce the checks and documentation to prove there was a loan?
The morons on The Five said that Biden gave favorable treatment to China from 2009-2016, and also 2021-2023, as a quid pro quo for payments to him from China. .
What is the EVIDENCE of that ?
Not speculation, evidence.
The MAGA are up in arms that Biden might have been selling his political influence in 2018. They also demand to know why he and Obama were not in the White House on 9-11 and where Biden was the night the Lindberg Baby was abducted. Need I say any more?
Not just 2018, nut also starting around 2014 when dementia Joe was Vice President.
"They also demand to know why he and Obama were not in the White House on 9-11 and where Biden was the night the Lindberg Baby was abducted"
Utter stupidity
"Need I say any more?"
Please don't

Why is he wearing a puffy shirt, is he a pirate?
The whole thing wreaks of a coverup. I don't expect to get to the bottom of it for years to come, if ever.
