Now THAT Is Ridiculous

Guest Post by Karl Denninger

There is a point that the in-your-face fraud reaches where one must that there is no longer a functional law enforcement capacity within a part of the government.

In this case that’s the entire Federal government, as this is the DOJ itself and the AG of the nation, Garland:

Attorney General Merrick Garland on Friday appointed U.S. Attorney David Weiss a special counsel in the Hunter Biden probe, as well as any other matters that arose or may arise from that investigation.

Weiss is the US Attorney who presented a negotiated plea agreement to the judge over Hunter’s conduct that the judge rejected as it appeared to have included terms intended to mislead both the court and the justice system generally.

She sent that back, correctly flagging two provisions including an apparent undisclosed immunity deal that was out-of-scope of the charges that were negotiated.  This is flat-out improper and what’s worse is that it appeared both Weiss and Biden’s defense counsel colluded to place said terms in an addendum that was not disclosed in advance of the hearing to the judge which was clearly intended to keep her from knowing about it until, they hoped, she’s signed off on it.

Further there are allegations that Biden’s counsel attempted to tamper with the evidentiary chain by trying to represent themselves as being related to counsel for parties that filed other briefs and have them either sealed or stricken from the record entirely.  There was quite a tap-dance around that (as its a crazy-level breach of ethics, a violation of the duties of an officer of the court, as all counsel are, and also arguably criminal fraudulent misrepresentation) but as far as I know there hasn’t (yet anyway) been any serious consequences — although the judge was clearly inclined to hammer the responsible parties for very good cause.

That alone is enough to drag Garland out of office by his hair.  But there’s more: The appointment appears to be facially-illegal and Garland knows damn well that it is.

(a) An individual named as Special Counsel shall be a lawyer with a reputation for integrity and impartial decision making, and with appropriate experience to ensure both that the investigation will be conducted ably, expeditiously and thoroughly, and that investigative and prosecutorial decisions will be supported by an informed understanding of the criminal law and Department of Justice policies. The Special Counsel shall be selected from outside the United States Government.

Weiss cannot be appointed to this position as he is a sitting US Attorney!  It is explicitly unlawful under the CFRs for Garland to appoint him — or any other sitting US Attorney.  By definition a “Special Counsel” must not be a person inside the US Government; that’s the entire point of a Special Counsel!

This act by Garland is not only impeachable it is void as Weiss is not qualified and thus the appointment is an open, public, in-your-face fraud.

Where does this leave us as Americans?

Nowhere good — and at some point we, as Americans, are going to have to deal with this problem whether we like it or not.

PS: BTW Durham’s appointment was invalid for the same reason — remember that?  Where was the screaming then?

“All governments rule by a combination of force and farce. When the people finally wake up to the farce, then they rely solely on force” Orwell

My guess is we’re very near the force treatment.

They gunned the poor man down perhaps, like the Clinton Death Count to remind everyone who’s the boss.

that is exactly why it was done as it was. we are to be reminded of our place in this nation transformed into a gulag.

i wonder if they are aware of two words that always come back to haunt their types: merciless, compassionless.

Craig Robertson’s mistake was in blabbering about it, maybe even too much talk for someone who couldn’t or wouldn’t walk the walk. The FBI has killed many, many citizens for 1st Amendment positions that they deemed rose to threatening language. Robertson wasn’t prepared for the response when it came. He was like the evil mastermind in a movie script who explains everything he plans to do before doing it, only to be taken out by the “good guys” before he can execute his diabolical plan.

We are well into the use of force, CC. What they have done to many of the J-6 defendants is totally unconstitutional and just last week, they assassinated an old crippled keyboard warrior by sending an FIB Swat team to kick in his door at 0600.

The only thing stopping them from full on force are the 100 million or so armed individuals spread throughout the country.

I hear the J6 victims in that D C gulag sing the Anthem every night before taps. Meanwhile, the scum who ran the George Floyd riots breathe free air. BTW:Where’s Trump?

Trump is practicing the National Anthem so he can sing it when he gets locked up in Super Max.

I don’t know if other states are doing a similar political move but, MI, supposedly, has drafted firearms regulations that will be voted on in 2024 that will allow the confiscation of your fire arms if you are found non compliant. Has anyone else heard this about MI or any other state? Does anyone have a bill number that we can look up to see what trickery or skullduggery they are planning in any or all states.

If it is in MI, the pro 2-A groups need to make sure they have plenty of poll watchers and vote tabulation monitors in Detroilet. That is where state elections are stolen.

Here in TN, the governor, a republican, is calling for a special session of the legislature to consider red flag laws. Many of our representatives and senators say they will vote down the red flag law and use the session to strengthen laws on criminals with mandatory punishment.

We are slowly warming to that. Don’t want to shock the frog.

Ethics? What’s this “ethics” that Mr Denninger speaks of?

Incessant in-your-face humiliation and mockery of anything even near honorable or loyal-to-the-Law remaining in the institution of the U.S. government is the objective here.

I read Denninger until he started haranguing others for doing nothing while refusing to be a leader himself. I don’t follow people that lead from behind.

How much money is Garland/Garfinkel getting to protect the Bidens? Is it a percentage of the take from the billions supposedly going to Ukraine?
