Joe Biden should brace himself as he may face an immediate impeachment trial. If he does, he can thank Merrick Garland, the most corrupt Attorney General in history. Garland shamelessly, put the fix in for Hunter Biden by appointing David Weiss, the DA who offered Hunter a get-out-of-jail-free card with the sweetheart plea deal he offered him. The man has no shame, but his actions could prompt the House to start impeachment hearings against Joe Biden for dozens of different reasons.
Hunter is almost guaranteed to walk since Weiss has decided to move his trial to DC or California, where he will get a favorable jury. And in all likelihood a favorable judge who will grant the plea deal, including immunity from prosecution for his many crimes. It will also prevent Republicans in the House from fully investigating him as Weiss will claim an ongoing investigation. But, that will cause Republicans to go after Joe, who is not under investigation and likely will never be until Trump returns to office.
Law professor Jonathan Turley has more:
Even some liberal pundits are mystified by these moves and why Garland would not simply appoint someone in compliance with the regulations who could guarantee a new and full investigation.
So Weiss is now investigating crimes that continue to dwindle in number due to the long delays in prosecution. It is like waiting for winter to go goose hunting in Canada, long after the geese have flown South. Everyone just gets dressed up and fires aimlessly into an empty sky.
While Hunter still can be charged on the same meager grounds (and possibly the addition of a Foreign Agents Registration Act charge), the alleged fix remains in the Biden investigation.

At the same time, the Biden administration still is resisting the sharing of information with the House, including records held by the National Archives.
For months, I have discussed a potential impeachment of the president with Republican House members and have encouraged them not to repeat the abuses of House Democrats in the use of “snap impeachments” and the discarding of fact hearings in the House Judiciary Committee.
Garland, however, has effectively forced their hands.
With the investigative impediments created by the Weiss appointment and by Garland’s refusal to expressly extend the special counsel’s mandate to the allegations of Biden family influence-peddling, there is little choice but to commence an impeachment inquiry. The authority of the House is at its apex when carrying out its duties under the impeachment clause.
Republicans return to work this week and we should know better what is going on. My hunch is they will start the investigation with RINO Kevin McCarthy running interference for Joe Biden.
