House Rs calling for special counsel.

Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan to me on Hunter Biden: “If a special counsel is not warranted here, when is it?”

Rep. Don Bacon, swing district Republican: “I think it's serious. I think we need a special counsel to look at this,” he said pic.twitter.com/yHwqiGlE1Q

[I hate the special-counsel law. In this case, though, it’s tough to argue with Jim Jordan. Whistleblowers are alleging that the DoJ deliberately interfered with David Weiss’ investigation by having US Attorney Matthew Graves refuse to indict Hunter Biden on felonies in his jurisdiction. Normally I’d say it’s better to have the House conduct its own investigation, and that still may be the better option, but it’s still tough to argue with Jordan. — Ed]
