McCarthy's inpeachment plan is to use a fake whistleblower to say Garland interfered w/Hunter probe
...but we have Merrick Garland critics falling over themselves to criticize Biden's AG for staying out of whatever Weiss is doing, or criticizing him for not denying Trump DOJ's U.S. Attorney the special counsel designation he requested.
Whatever Garland can be criticized for, jumping on him for following the lead of Pres. Biden in avoiding any perception of interference in the investigation or prosecution of his son has to be one of the most mindless pursuits out there for anyone identifying as a Democrat.
Any legitimacy House republicans may dream of achieving behind their barrel-of-monkeys impeachment scheme hangs on their Trump-linked insistence that it's Pres. Biden directing DOJ, not the independent prosecutors who've been given free reign by Garland to bring charges anywhere they find evidence.
Most of the handwringing attacks on Garland after Weiss announced the gun charges assume there's something Garland could do, should do, or would do to alter some move Weiss might make against Hunter - even falsely supposing it was the Special Counsel designation which allowed Weiss to bring or initiate gun charges which he could have leveled against Hunter at any time in his 5 year investigation.
There is nothing Garland could, can, or will do to affect the Weiss effort in any way that limits his authority or ability to carry it out as the SC sees fit, like it or not. That was made perfectly clear when Pres. Biden decided to keep Weiss, along with Durham, after letting the rest of the Trump DOJ appointees go.
No one is helping Hunter Biden, or more importantly, the President, by expecting Garland to touch the Weiss investigation with as much as a ten-foot pole.
All of the hyperbolic slinging of insults and derision on Garland for following the president's lead is just politically amateurish, and a bit embarrassing for people trying to make a legal argument; advocating what would amount to the interference republicans are desperately looking for to ignite their dud of an impeachment bomb.
