Merrick Garland Lied & Not Everything is a Conspiracy – Top 3 Takeaways – August 14th, 2023
- Merrick Garland lied. Hot takes have been flying since Friday. Some are better than others. Most that I’ve come across, on both sides, lack pragmatism. Conspiracies are conspiracies but not everything is a conspiracy. There are two sides to stories and one side to facts. That’s where I prefer to operate so let’s talk about the knowns of Friday’s appointment of David Weiss as special counsel. The first known is that this didn’t happen because Hunter Biden’s issues, are Hunter Biden’s alone. For years Democrats and their allies in news media have taken a unified tact. It’s been the Shaggy defense... As in...it wasn’t me. The me being Joe Biden. First the excuse was that Hunter Biden’s laptop wasn’t really Hunter Biden’s laptop but instead a Russian disinformation campaign. Then, after that lie and disinformation campaign fell apart, the argument was that Hunter had his issues but that they weren’t his dad’s. After all Joe Biden said he’d never once even talked business with his son – let alone played a role in quid pro quo schemes. After the recent whistleblower testimony that narrative began to fall apart too...and the official White House line shifted to ‘ole Joe never having “been in business with his son”. But that narrative too has begun to fall apart because as I identified, (sadly James Comer and Jim Jordan did not), within Devin Archer’s testimony in an unprompted moment he referred to Joe Biden as “the Big Guy”. The same language used by Hunter Biden in a 2017 email to the Chinese Communist controlled energy interest he was being paid millions of dollars “to advise”. Specifically, that 10% was to go to “the Big Guy”. My theme in the Biden Crime Family investigations over the past month was that the walls were closing in on them. Friday’s announcement that David Weiss was granted special prosecutor status, at his request, is yet another indication that’s the case. But it’s also a crystal-clear indication of my top takeaway today...that Attorney General Merrick Garland lied. Repeatedly when questioned, and as recently as June 23rd, Merrick Garland stated that David Weiss “had full authority” over the Hunter Biden case and quoting him: I don't know how it would be possible for anybody to block him from bringing a prosecution. On Friday Garland told the country point blank that he lied to us. And that he had been lying to us right along. If Weiss had the “full authority” he needed, he’d not need to be granted special prosecutor status – which allows him to charge in any jurisdiction – not just in Delaware. This is an immovable fact. And given that one of the whistleblowers had already implied that Merrick Garland had lied under oath before Congress – this effectively is an admission that’s the case. What this also tells us is that Garland realized he’d become backed into such a corner by his own dishonesty and willingness to attempt to cover for his boss – that this admission for those who’re paying attention is the lesser of two evils for him. Consider that one for a moment. The implications are deeper than any of the conspiratorial hot takes I’ve heard or read flying around. Here’s another known. We now have a record...
- Three special prosecutors. Never in American history have we had three special prosecutors active at the same time. And never in American history have two been active in investigating the same president at the same time until Friday. One of the biggest eye openers presently occurring in presidential politics is that Donald Trump, who has been indicted by Special Prosecutor Jack Smith in two separate federal cases, isn’t the one under the greatest legal scrutiny currently. Two of the three are now investigating the Bidens. What does that tell you about the extent of the smoke and fire surrounding that family? One might imagine that having two special prosecutors investigating the same person at the same time is likely going to lead to something happening. Yes, I know the question is what if anything and when. I get it. But while many are alleging that the Weiss appointment is simply to shield him from House Oversight testimony and is all part of the fix to run out the clock on any number of outcomes for the Bidens – that's only one possibility. According to the IRS whistleblowers Weiss tried to bring charges in the Hunter Biden investigation – that potentially could have implicated his dad – in two other jurisdictions outside of Delaware (including Washington D.C.) but that he was denied the opportunity to bring those charges by the State Attorneys in those jurisdictions. Ordinarily a special prosecutor being named starts a lengthy investigative process. This time it could be entirely different. David Weiss has been investigating for five years. He allegedly wanted to bring charges he wasn’t previously allowed to bring within the DOJ, that he now could. If this isn’t the coverup conspiracy theory...
- This could move much faster than most evidently realize. In life it’s the case that most often the most obvious explanation is the best explanation. I have on good authority that Weiss gave Garland a noon deadline on Friday to name Weiss as a special prosecutor in the Biden case...or that Weiss was going to come public contradicting the AG’s statement that he’d never asked for the designation. The designation which would allow for him to be able to properly try the cases the whistleblowers said he had attempted to bring. Yes, Weiss could have ulterior motives. Yes, it could be a conspiratorial coverup of sorts. But yes, it’s also possible that the whistleblowers were right, as is my source, and that Weiss has appeared to be weak in the process to date (including the sweetheart plea deal for Hunter on tax and gun charges) because he didn’t have a choice. Under his previous designation Merrick Garland had to sign off on any charges he would bring. Has anyone stopped to consider that the sweetheart plea deal was entirely a byproduct of what Garland was willing to approve as opposed to Weiss’ preference? As special prosecutor Weiss no longer directly answers to Garland.
