33 senators call for Hunter Biden special counsel, cite DOJ 'politicization'
2022-09-20
More on this story from yesterday.
[NYPOST] One third of the US Senate has signed a letter asking Attorney General Merrick Garland
...Attorney General of the U.S., who classifies indignant parents as domestic terrorists. The is the respected legal scholar Obama nominated for the Supreme Court...
to give US Attorney David Weiss the powers of a special counsel to investigate first son Hunter Biden
...son of President Joe: cashiered from the Navy, a crackhead, wheeler dealer, leg humper, horn dog, and general all around ne'er do well. We're supposed to feel sorry for him...
’s foreign business dealings.

In the Monday letter, the 33 Republicans cited the "politicization" of the Justice Department, a lack of public trust in the authorities, and recent whistleblower allegations of a coverup within the FBI
...Formerly one of the world's premier criminal investigation organizations, something for a nation to be proud of. Now it's a political arm of the Deep State oligarchy that is willing to trump up charges, suppress evidence, or take out insurance policies come election time...
of evidence and testimony damaging to the first son.

"Given the politicization of the DOJ under your watch and the importance of avoiding any appearance of impropriety, the undersigned request that you provide U.S. Attorney Weiss the full protections and authorities of a special counsel," the letter says.

"This is one important action that you can take that will go a long way in restoring faith in our governmental institutions."

...the Internal Revenue Service; that office of the United States government that collects taxes and persecutes the regime's political enemies...
about $2 million in back taxes — using either a loan or gift from Hollywood attorney Kevin Morris — in an attempt to avoid prosecution.

Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) organized the letter, which was signed by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell
...Senate minority leader from Kentucky. A politician's politician, Mitch is smarter than he's given credit for, not as smart as he thinks he is. He is married to former education secretary Elaine Chao, whose father has extensive shipping interests, including a company in China, which makes sense since he's Chinese. He is sometimes maligned as Cocaine Mitch because a few million bucks' worth of the drug was once found on one of his father-in-law's ships in Colombia, which is kind of a tenuous assertion, to say the least...
(R-Ky.) and a diverse group of others.
