[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is almost comical watching people fall over themselves to say that someone that Trump appointed and who was *asked for by name* by the GOP to be appointed social counsel is all of a sudden a lackey of the Biden administration and is now unqualified to do the job. Maybe, just maybe this guy knows a little more about the situation than you do.

Garland did exactly what the right has been clamoring for.  So sit down. [/quote]
Yea, I'm confused why the Rs are upset about Weiss being appointed **[b]WHEN THEY SPECIFICALLY ASKED FOR HIM TO BE APPOINTED[/b]**.   I try not to get into the Rs heads too much these days, but this one is a real head scratcher.

Can a R explain why now Weiss is unfit when he was appointed by Trump and Rs wanted him?[/quote]

1.  They didn't. 
2.  A special prosecutor should have been appointed YEARS ago because of the conflict of interest.  We have Biden's DOJ investigating a member of Biden's family in which Biden himself could be implicated.  If this doesn't scream conflict of interest, I don't know what does. 
3.  It should have been someone from OUTSIDE the government BECAUSE of the conflict of interest. 
4.  Weiss has demonstrated through his actions... letting the statute of limitations lapse, agreeing to a sweetheart deal, not allowing investigators do a complete investigation.... that he should not continue in this role.  [/quote]
They did ask for Weiss to be the special counsel.

More than 30 Senate Republicans asked Attorney General Merrick Garland on Monday to give the federal prosecutor [Weiss] who has been investigating Hunter Biden for several years “special counsel protections and authorities.”

The group, which includes Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, wrote in a letter to Garland that the move is warranted because the criminal investigation involves President Joe Biden’s son. They also contended it would “avoid the appearance of impropriety.”

Giving U.S. Attorney for Delaware David Weiss special counsel authority would also “provide additional assurances to the American people that the Hunter Biden investigation is free from political influence,” the letter argued.[/quote]

Weiss was the special investigator, and Rs wanted him to be given "special counsel authority".

Once again, R revisionist history.

THAT WAS A FRICKING YEAR AGO!
And, long before Weiss proved that he was not up for the job.  [/quote]
