David Weiss, the US attorney for Delaware, seems to be leading a genuine
investigation of Hunter Biden: Prosecutors taking the case to a grand jury
the other day even asked a witness about �the big guy,� for whom Hunter
and his partners had reserved a 10% cut of one potential (and lucrative)
deal.

No one familiar with the case has suggested who the �big guy� might be if
not now-President Joe Biden, and at least one of the partners has
confirmed it was Joe.

Then, too, Weiss is a veteran of the Delaware office, appointed US
attorney in early 2018 by President Donald Trump � not a political hack.
The only thing at all questionable about his Hunter investigation is why
it has taken so long, when the probe actually began long before the last
election. Hunter�s bank records on his dealings with the Bank of China,
for example, got subpoenaed back in May 2019.

For the long wait, you have to assume the blame rests with his superiors
in Washington. It would�ve been standard procedure to hold off making
headlines in the runup to the 2020 vote, but delays since then likely came
at the order of central Justice, namely Attorney General Merrick Garland
and his top aides.

And that�s where we really start to worry about a finger on the scales of
Justice. What if Weiss is ordered to, say, accept a plea bargain that
seals all the evidence he�s gathered, no matter where it points?

The pro-Biden press will rush to justify such a move, arguing, Hey,
Hunter�s already paid the IRS what he owes, so the case would be hard to
win anyway. Swept under the rug would be any other crimes, such as
lobbying for foreign interests without registering as such � not to
mention all the �big guy� questions.

Garland himself is usually deemed beyond reproach, but the nation already
has clear proof that White House hacks influence his office, and even him.

We�re talking primarily of Garland�s outrageous press conference last
October siccing the FBI and all US attorneys on parents who dare to cross
the establishment at local school board meetings. It eventually came out
that the whole thing was ginned up by a cabal of White House and
Department of Education staffers, who got outside activists to write and
demand such action, with the staff then getting Garland�s staff to bring
him on board.

Even then, the AG proceeded to dissemble, telling Congress that Justice
had never actually used counterterror tools to target parents, when in
fact the FBI had asked agents to �apply� a �threat tag� and �track�
threats against school officials.

It�s easy to imagine White House demands for Garland to leash and muzzle
Weiss: Chief of staff Ron Klain, for example, last weekend told the
nation, �The president�s confident that his son didn�t break the law,�
when it turns out that Klain himself asked Hunter for donations to help
out the then-veep back in 2012, which suggests he knows full well that Joe
has long relied on Hunter�s dubiously gotten gains.

We�ve said before that Garland and his entire office should be cut out of
the case, with a special counsel named to oversee it. Now that the
investigation is clearly closing in on actual indictments, that need has
grown urgent.
