Merrick Garland Appoints David Weiss Special Counsel -- Which He Should Have Done Years Ago -- in Apparent Bid to Protect Weiss From Being Investigated Over His Attempt to Defraud the Court to Covertly Confer Blanket Immunity on Hunter Biden

If you missed how it all shook out, David Weiss hid the covert blanket immunity provisions for Hunter Biden in a separate document, as an addendum to the alternative sentencing agreement for the gun charge. He kept this out of the actual plea deal so that the judge would not see it.

His scheme was to confer blanket immunity on Hunter Biden for all crimes he committed in the past, including those never named or referenced. Immunity deals are read in favor of the defendant by judges -- so Hunter, by merely showing this secret codicil could be read as conferring blanket immunity, would in fact have blanket immunity. A judge would say, "Well the prosecutor wrote this sloppily, but we construe these agreements against the prosecutor and in favor of the defendant, so congratulations, you have blanket immunity for all crimes in your entire past!"

But of course this arrangement was not done "sloppily." David Weiss wanted to give Hunter Biden blanket immunity for all past crimes, but he knew a judge would never, ever agree to that, given that he was already giving Hunter a sweetheart deal on the three crimes actually named in the plea agreement (lying on a gun application and two of his tax evasion charges that Weiss had not yet allowed to lapse via the statute of limitations).

He also knew that the public would be outraged by not only giving Hunter an undeserved sweetheart deal on the three named crimes, but blanket immunity for all other crimes as well, so he stuffed this Double-Secret Immunity provision into the alternate sentencing memorandum.

The judge asked him (or his prosecutor) if there was any precedent in all of legal history for putting the bulk of the plea deal into a document that was not the plea deal, but a side document, and Weiss (or his prosecutor) had to admit: "No." There was no legal precedent for what Weiss was attempting to do, give a secret, backdoor Get out of Jail Free for All Past Crimes card, and give it in an alternative sentencing memo to boot.

And that's why the plea deal fell apart: When the judge asked him directly if he was trying to give Hunter blanket immunity for all crimes he may have committed in the past, Weiss had to claim he wasn't trying to do that, because then he'd be admitting he was committing the crime, and the disbarrable level vioation, of attempting to perpetrate a fraud on the court.

So he lied and said "no, this confers no immunity for anything except the three named crimes," which therefore is an explicit statement which a later judge would not read in Hunter's favor, and Hunter Biden then backed out of the plea deal. Without the Double-Secret Immunity for his FARA violations, drug violations, prostitution violations, possible Mann Act violations -- it just wasn't what Hunter wanted.

He wanted full complete from birth-until-the-present moment immunity. And Weiss tried to give him that, covertly. But the judge sniffed it out and exposed the scheme.

And in that context, Merrick Garland now appoints Weiss special counsel, so that he won't have to answer questions about his own criminal behavior.

From redridinghood:

@amuse
OBSTRUCTION of CONGRESS: Merrick Garland appoints David Weiss as special counsel to prevent the House from investigating the DOJ's sweetheart deal with Hunter and his sale of Joe's influence. The special counsel will block Congressional oversight until after the 2024 election.

Before, Weiss could not investigate any crimes that occurred outside of Delaware.

Now he can do that -- hypothetically.

But he's not being appointed special counsel so that he'll have the power to investigate all crimes Hunter committed in other jurisdictions.

Oh no. Oh no no no no no.

He's being appointed special counsel so that he'll have the power to grant immunity to all crimes Hunter committed in other jurisdictions.

Banana Republic. Illegitimate tyrannical junta.

Update: This may be -- get this -- illegal, as "Beautiful Hillary Clinton" tips.

Sure, sure. I'm sure the "prosecutor" that just committed a fraud on the court to keep Hunter Biden out of jail is really coming after him with every tool at his disposal.

75 I assume at some point that we'll discuss that the FBI just executed a guy in Provo, Utah, just to show that they can?

The guy needed a cane, weighed 300 lbs, and drove everywhere - the FBI could have just picked him up away from his house when he drove to the store or something.

Instead, they did a NKVD-style pre-dawn raid on his house with a SWAT team, killed him, and left his body outside on the street for hours.

This may have some interesting political ramifications - the guy was a devout member of the LDS Church, and was well-liked in the community.

I guess the message the FBI wanted to send was that it doesn't matter if you are a Trump Republican, or a Utah Republican - the Deep State wants you dead either way.

Be interesting to see if Mitt Romney can avoid commenting on the fact that one of his constituents and co-religionists was just gunned down in cold blood.

77 Jonathan Turley comments:

I was not surprised, but I was not nearly as delighted as I would have been two years ago when many of us were calling for this appointment.

They waited for the appointment of a special counsel after the statute of limitations has run on critical crimes, like the tax violations in 2014, 2015. They waited until Weiss himself was accused of slowing or suppressing efforts.

At least the whistleblower suggested that he was not able to pursue cases and didn't aggressively push back on that.

So there's going to be a lot of questions here if this is occurring as Congress is moving aggressively to pursue some of these issues. This new status can certainly slow that process down.

This was crafted to provide the congressoinal GOP thunder cucks a fig leaf of "we don't need to impeach, we have an ongoing investigation!" I will say this has been unraveled very quickly because it is totally unlawful. Weiss is disqualified by law to serve as special counsel because the statute was crafted to assure no one inside the government could serve as such. Not that the law matters one goddamned bit in this garbage tier police state, but people know this is illegal. That knowledge puts pressure on the thunder cucks. They'll try to maintain the pretense, and may do it, but everyone realizes at this point they are controlled opposition, frauds, and liars.

However, the direction will include that Biden is supposed to take the fall for a bunch of DC scum-- probably from both parties, that all the most lucrative crimes are to remain hidden, and that the methods of theft being employed are to remain undiscussed.

I'll just leave this here:

"Executive Order 11110 was an executive order issued by President John F. Kennedy (JFK) on June 4, 1963.This order granted the Treasury Department the authority to issue silver certificates, an alternative to the traditional paper currency issued by the Federal Reserve System.

This order caused a stir in the political world, as it was seen as an attempt to bypass the Federal Reserve and create a new, separate monetary system. This executive order was issued to fix the US economy, which was in a state of stagflation due to rising prices and a decrease in the value of the US dollar. The goal of executive order 1110 was to create a sliver-backed currency that would be in competition with the Federal Reserve dollar."

How much he got tricked into things, and how much he was the trickster, I don't know. The Gold Standard stuff though, yeah, there are some who consider that the beginning of the end for us.

Live, on national TV-- the judge said I can't talk about this case because she doesn't want you to hear the truth. She thinks she works for the Democrats, not you, the people paying her salary. So when the Democrats said, "don't let him tell America what really happened," she snapped to attention and tried to shut me up. Well, here's the truth the Democrats and their judges don't want you to know:

The problem is that the Ds didn't want to do this. So they were forced to go here. I still think they are fighting a rear guard action, we just don't yet know how successful the retreat will be. But even if it is successful, there will be casualties along the way. I'm interested who those will be. Because the next retreat will expose more victims.

Chinese green lasers my ass. All you need is a box of road flares, a pickup truck and GoogleMaps to plan your route so that you can get out before everything goes up in smoke.

Back in the day, there were a couple of bad brush fires in the coastal mountains above Santa Barbara that we all suspected were set in just that manner. There's a road at the top of the ridgeline, E Camino Cielo, that would be perfect. Just drive slow, and throw lit flares out the window, or better yet get your accomplice to sit in the truck bed to toss them even further out. Let the wind and the chapparal do the rest.

You can't trade a threatened prosecution in exchange for somebody's Constitutional Right. If President Trump broke the law, he should be charged, prosecuted, and convicted.
