(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) In a passionate and pointed segment on Sean Hannity’s show, Fox News host Judge Jeanine Pirro unleashed a barrage of criticism directed at Attorney General Merrick Garland’s controversial decision to appoint David Weiss, the U.S. attorney general for Delaware, as special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden.
Pirro minced no words as she dissected the intricacies of Garland’s move and its perceived implications, which have been the focus of Republicans in the U.S. Congress.
“They should have picked someone, number one, outside of the government,” Pirro declared emphatically, driving home her skepticism about Garland’s selection of Weiss. “Number two, he’s already indicated he’s compromised.” Pirro’s words reflected deep-seated concerns about potential conflicts of interest that could undermine the impartiality of the investigation.
Further delving into her critique, Pirro cast a spotlight on what she viewed as glaring inconsistencies in Weiss’s actions. “He’s the one who put together a plea deal, Sean, that gave Hunter immunity for the rest of his life, but then said the investigation was continuing,” she articulated. This juxtaposition of actions and statements raised significant eyebrows and invited speculation about the true nature of the inquiry.
“Why? Because Congress, the Republicans in the House, cannot investigate,” Pirro continued. Her analysis echoed the sentiment of those who believed that the special counsel appointment might be an attempt to block Republican-led congressional oversight.
Drawing from what she perceived as contradictions, Pirro did not hold back from questioning the motivations behind the attorney general’s actions and citing Weiss’s defunct plea deal with Hunter. “[Weiss] put together a plea deal a federal judge will not allow to go,” she asserted, her voice unwavering. Such a claim implies a possible lack of legitimacy and transparency in the process.
Pirro then delved into a specific instance that she believed undermined the integrity of the investigation. “He comes back and he says, after he said he had all the power he needed to Jim Jordan, but said in a meeting with the FBI and the IRS in October 2022, ‘I’m not the one making the decision’,” she exclaimed, referring to a meeting between Garland and the FBI in 2022.
Concluding her fiery commentary, Pirro took a swipe at the credibility of Weiss. “We make David Weiss out to be a liar,” she stated boldly.
