Garland Stonewalls Questions about a Special Counsel Despite New Evidence Tied to President Biden

Attorney General Merrick Garland continued to refuse to address questions over his refusal to appoint a Special Counsel in the Hunter Biden investigation despite new evidence tying President Joe Biden to the controversial business deals. The New York Post is reporting that President Biden agreed to cover more than $800,000 in bills of Hunter, including legal fees tied to the foreign deals. While President Biden’s denial of knowledge of Hunter’s deals has been repeatedly contradicted (including by Hunter himself), White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki declared that President Biden stands by his denials. However, she declined to explain new information showing that a key business partner in these deals visited the White House over a dozen times, including at least one meeting with then Vice President Biden.

The New York Post shows that on Jan. 17, 2019, Hunter Biden’s then-personal assistant, Katie Dodge told accountant Linda Shapero that Joe Biden was covering the legal costs. The email states “I spoke with Hunter today regarding his bills. It is my understanding that Hunt’s dad will cover these bills in the short-term as Hunter transitions in his career.”

What may be even more damaging is the new disclosure that Hunter Biden’s business partner, Eric Schwerin, made at least 19 visits to the White House and other official locations between 2009 and 2015. Schwerin was the president of Rosemont Seneca, one of the key firms involved in the alleged influence peddling schemes.

We have previously discussed the various references to the President in these emails. Indeed, it is impossible to look into these allegations of influence peddling without repeatedly running into references to the President.

As vice president, Joe Biden flew to China on Air Force Two with Hunter Biden, who arranged for his father to meet some of his business interests. Hunter Biden’s financial interest in a Chinese-backed investment firm, BHR Partners, was registered within weeks of that 2013 trip.

There are emails of Ukrainian and other foreign clients thanking Hunter Biden for arranging meetings with his father. There are photos from dinners and meetings that tie President Biden to these figures, including a 2015 dinner with a group of Hunter Biden’s Russian and Kazakh clients.

People apparently were told to avoid directly referring to President Biden. In one email, Tony Bobulinski, then a business partner of Hunter’s, was instructed by Biden associate James Gilliar not to speak of the former veep’s connection to any transactions: “Don’t mention Joe being involved, it’s only when u [sic] are face to face, I know u [sic] know that but they are paranoid.”

Instead, the emails apparently refer to President Biden with code names such as “Celtic” or “the big guy.” In one, “the big guy” is discussed as possibly receiving a 10 percent cut on a deal with a Chinese energy firm; other emails reportedly refer to Hunter Biden paying portions of his father’s expenses and taxes.

There were other connections like an office arranged for Joe Biden by the Chinese, a letter of recommendation written by Joe Biden for a key Chinese figure’s child, and expenses paid out of joint accounts.

President Biden has long insisted that that his son did “nothing wrong.” That is obviously untrue. One can argue over whether Hunter committed any crime, but few would say that there is nothing wrong with raw influence peddling worth millions with foreign entities. The public has a legitimate reason to know whether the President or his family ran an influence peddling operation worth millions.

Given this mounting evidence, the position of Attorney General Garland has gone from dubious to ridiculous in evading the issue of a special counsel appointment.  He continues to refuse to acknowledge these conflicts with the President. In a hearing yesterday, Garland again refused to address the issue, even discussing what it would take to warrant the appointment of a special counsel. There is no reason why he cannot answer such legal questions without getting into the evidence produced in Delaware.

Federal regulations allow the appointment of a special counsel when it is in the public interest and an “investigation or prosecution of that person or matter by a United States Attorney’s Office or litigating Division of the Department of Justice would present a conflict of interest for the Department or other extraordinary circumstances.”

It is hard to imagine a stronger case for the appointment of a special counsel.

  1. What about the gift tax due on Joey’s $800,000 payment for the benefit of Hunter????? Sounds like federal tax evasion by The Big Guy !!

  2. Garland cannot allow a special counsel under any circumstances. The evidence leads to him.

  3. Failed court nominee Garland was given a job in exchange for hands off the Bidens.

  4. “Don’t mention Joe being involved, it’s only when u [sic] are face to face, I know u [sic] know that but they are paranoid.”
    There is your opening salvo for a special council. F Garland.

  5. Anyone that has half a brain sees and knows how corrupt and ignorant Biden & associates have always been. Garland is a complete poser, a cog if you will. He does his masters bidding like a good apparatchik. America dodged a poison pill by Garland not getting onto SCOTUS. Just look at the actions of this cog….. he is thoroughly bought and paid for .

      1. When Someone violates Our CONSTITUTIONAL Social Contract in such a way that Hillary orchestrated.
        It is ‘prudent to the security’ of that Constitution (Its Contract with the People) that the Characters involved in its desecration be brought to Justice.

        I can only presume that Garland has taken the Bullet because George Tenet won’t.

        OK – Got It – Are we straight Man?

        1. Where in the hell were you people when Trump was telling all the lies he was telling EVERY DAY?

  6. IN:
    6 months 13 days
    or 28 weeks 1 days
    or 197 calendar days
    [Today May 1st 2022]

    Merrick Brian Garland turns 70 years old (On November 13th).

    He had a chance to resign and walk-away three weeks ago.

    He didn’t (to late), instead He choose to remain and in so doing made himself complicit in this/these Cover Up(s) [Clintons’ & Bidens’].

    Garland chooses to follow the foot steps of John N. Mitchell so be it.

    The Deep Politicians whom think that They are “Too Big To Jail”, will drag this out,
    and the Corporate Media will do Their best to bury it (as They have been doing).
    Until a time that the Producers of this ‘production’ are ready to fill the ‘broadcasting airtime’,
    with Nationally televised Hearings and Trials [i.e.: Watergate Hearings/Trials, O.J. Simpson Trial, … ].

    Their day of reckoning is coming.

    History repeats Itself:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watergate_Seven

    Starting From:
    September 15, 1972: Hunt, Liddy, and the Watergate burglars are indicted by a federal grand jury.
    -and-
    Ending:
    September 8, 1974: President Ford ends the investigations by granting Nixon a pardon.

    The time between Sep. 15, 1972, 0:00:00 AM and Sep. 8, 1974, 0:00:00 PM is:
    723 days, 12 hours, 0 minute, and 0 second
    723.5 days
    17,364 hours
    1,041,840 minutes
    62,510,400 seconds

    Ref:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_Watergate_scandal

    That’s 723.5 days/17,364 hours of available Airtime – You can $ell “alot” of Soap within that amount of time!
    And in so doing, Waste a lot of Our TIME.

  7. Days of our Live [The Cover-Up Saga Continues]
    (The American Soap Opera)

    THEY:
    Hillary will drag this out, taking out Other lives with Her.
    She could just admit She did it (Called-the-Shots),
    and the County could get on with getting on track.

    Hunter & Joe will do the same thing, drag this out, and not come out now and admit they did wrong.

    And all the Others, Players in the Scheme-of-Things, will drag this out.
    When their making an Admission would spare Us from a useless waste of TIME.

    Bottom-line: WASTING OUR TIME.

    I keep wondering, Who will be the John Dean amongst Them [?].
    Who is that Stand-up Person that will come forward and say:
    The President/Hillary was directly-involved and knew what was going on.

    The List of Whom that may include, is getting longer by the day.

  8. its all brea and circus material. it distracts the ignorant sheeple so they ignore reality. its the “woman in the red dress’ program.

  9. Merrick is career criminal who was appointed by rapist and gun runner Bill Clinton. It makes perfect sense to protect his pal Joe.

  10. It needs to be said over and over and loudly and over and over again: Joe Biden is and has always been a stupid, arrogant, corrupt, lying, m*therf’ing dick. Now he is a demented, stupid, lying, corrupt, m*therfing dick. So is his wife, the “doctor.” So is his disgusting family full of lying, greedy, sellout grifters and losers.

    1. Joe Biden is a filthy, corrupt, dumb and disgusting embarrassment to the United States of America.

    2. All one has to do, is look at Biden’s character, (or lack thereof), his history, the way his kids turned out and the way his demented “Obama Style” sickness is turning the USA into a perverted Sodom & Gomorrah. “Sic Semper Tyrannis”
