Townhall Media

Special Counsel David Weiss, who was appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate First Son Hunter Biden for his business dealings, failure to pay taxes, and gun law violations, issued a blistering report Friday which was transmitted to Congress by the Department of Justice Monday evening.

Weiss absolutely nuked President Biden for questioning the motives of the investigation and for the controversial pardon of his son despite his many promises not to do so.

Special Counsel David Weiss blasted President Biden in his highly-anticipated report on his years-long investigation into Hunter Biden, saying the commander-in-chief's characterizations of the probe into his son were "wrong" and "unfairly" maligned Justice Department officials, while admitting that the presidential pardon made it "inappropriate" for him to discuss whether any additional charges against the first son were warranted. 

Rep. James Comer (R-KY), Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, reacted on social media and said the report proves what we already knew: that Joe Biden is "corrupt."

The tweet continues:

This sweeping pardon prevents the Special Counsel from holding Hunter Biden accountable for the international influence peddling racket only made possible by Joe Biden. Let’s be clear: the Biden DOJ was never going to prosecute the Biden Crime Family. The House Oversight Committee’s investigation of the Bidens’ influence peddling schemes revealed how Joe Biden knew about, participated in, and benefitted from his family cashing in on the Biden name.   

“Two brave whistleblowers, Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, blew the whistle on DOJ’s misconduct and politicization in the Hunter Biden criminal investigation and revealed they were prevented from following evidence that could have led to Joe Biden. Joe Biden will be remembered for using his last few weeks in office to shield his son from the law and protect himself. The president’s legacy is the same as his family’s business dealings: corrupt.”

Biden Says He 'Meant What I Said' About Not Pardoning Hunter... Before He 'Found Out Two Factors'


The special counsel was unsparing in his criticism of the lame-duck president, who mercifully will soon be out of office.

Weiss, in his report, chided President Biden for his Dec. 1, 2024 decision to grant his son a "Full and Unconditional Pardon" covering nearly eleven years of conduct, including conduct related to both convictions the special counsel obtained.

Hunter Biden was found guilty of three felony firearm offenses stemming from Special Counsel David Weiss’ investigation. The first son was also charged with federal tax crimes regarding the failure to pay at least $1.4 million in taxes. Before his trial, Hunter Biden entered a surprise guilty plea.

The charges carried up to 17 years behind bars. His sentencing was scheduled for Dec. 16, but his father, President Biden, pardoned him on all charges in December.

George Washington University Professor of Law Jonathan Turley called the report "hard-hitting":

 “Other presidents have pardoned family members, but in doing so, none have taken the occasion as an opportunity to malign the public servants at the Department of Justice based solely on false accusations."...

Weiss further alleged that Biden's criticism of the DOJ and the special counsel and said it was flat-out "wrong":

Weiss, in the report, blasted the president's decision to pardon but also the press release that was sent out to the public that "criticized the prosecution of his son as ‘selective,’ ‘unfair,’ ‘infected’ by ‘raw politics,’ and a ‘miscarriage of justice.'"

"This statement is gratuitous and wrong," Weiss wrote in his report. "Other presidents have pardoned family members, but in doing so, none have taken the occasion as an opportunity to malign the public servants at the Department of Justice based solely on false accusations."

It's just one more nail in the coffin of Joe's tainted legacy. Seven more days to go in this circus, folks—just seven more days. 

January 20 can't come soon enough.
