Comment on Romanian oligarch hired Hunter Biden to influence US policy, special counsel says
Lauchs@lemmy.world 1 month agoAnd that way, without Senate confirmation, is the same way in which David Weiss was appointed special counsel in the Hunter Biden case.
So, are you defending/citing the work of an illegal appointee? And if so, shouldn’t we also care about Jack Smith’s charges?

David Weiss was appointed legal.

What do you see as the difference that made one appointment legal and the other illegal? (Other than one is investigating a Biden and the other is investigating trump.)

Yes I see the differences. One was a government employee appointed and confirmed in the proper channels. The other was not.

Huh, so in other words Jack Smith was appointed in the exact same manner as Nicolas Bua, Malcolm Wilkey, and Frederick Lacey.
But, I am glad you get the silly technicality that has been rejected by every other judge who has heard this nonsensical defense.
