Weiss signed off on a plea deal that would have granted Hunter immunity for charges related to guns, taxes, and who knows what else, ensuring that the president also avoided scrutiny. The unprecedentedly wide-ranging deal was so ridiculous that Judge Maryellen Noreika nixed it.

Weiss’s public contentions regarding his role, in that case, have been contradicted by credible IRS whistleblowers. They testified under oath that the prosecutor told them he asked to be appointed special counsel at least twice and that he sought to bring federal charges against Hunter in California and DC but was turned consistently turned down by Biden’s DOJ.

Each of these incidents should disqualify Weiss from being named special counsel. And yet here we are. Not exactly surprising, I guess, considering the DOJ’s mission seems to be protecting the Bidens.
