Yep. It's a sham. You would think Garland would know the rules:

§ 600.3 Qualifications of the Special Counsel.

(a) 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.

Hmm, pray tell, what was Durham’s job right before he was appointed SC? And what other job did he have for the first 8 months of his SC tenure?

You can ask the same about Mueller.

Fact is.... Weiss is part of the DOJ. This is not a special counsel, but a DOJ investigation and it stinks to high heaven.

You didn't complain about Horowitz or Durham being DOJ employees. How is this any different?

Durham was retiring and giving up all other cases. Will Weiss?

Merrick Garland is NOT allowed to appoint David Weiss as special counsel. Garland is defying federal regulations. He only can name someone “outside the United States government” (28 CFR 600.03). So, the fix is in. Weiss will continue the obstruction & Biden protection.

Who selected Durham and Mueller? Who selected Ken Starr?

The GOP House letter calling for a special counsel specifically asks for Weiss. Garland did so, and the right is STILL complaining, proving they will make EVERYTHING an issue.

You should complain to Bill Bare who set the precedent of picking a current US Attorney.

So why as Trump's DOJ able to appoint Durham?

I am old enough to remember a 100+ page thread in this forum about that investigation where not one person raise this as an issue.

Ultimately, there were no transactions to Joe Biden. His income and reporting is fully accounted for, unless you believe he was committing tax fraud on the eve of his presidency.

Comer is PO'd because he can't run his dog and pony show/telethon anymore.

True, however in those 8 months he didnt work on any other cases and the retirement date is predetermined for pension. Weiss will remain in his position

According to his publicly available tax filings that go back several decades.
