This move by AG Garland is part of the Justice Department’s efforts to attempt a Biden family coverup in light of @GOP oversight's mounting evidence of President Biden’s role in his family’s schemes selling ‘the brand’ for millions of dollars to foreign nationals.

Ah, earl, your man Trump appointed Weiss, and directed him to investigate Hunter in the beginning, duh
He was selected by the two Democratic Senators from the state.
Trump appointed him, and Trump instructed him to investigate Biden, when was the last time Trump did anything any Democrat suggested
It’s true that Sens. Tom Carper and Chris Coons, both Democrats, played a part in selecting Weiss, because of a longstanding Senate policy that allows home-state senators to sign off on presidential appointments of U.S. attorneys.

More covering of the Biden's by the DOJ.
This is turning into a joke at this point.
Let me make a prediction here, Weiss will find no evidence of any wrong doing.

No true republican could ever be selected as US attorney in Democrat controlled Delaware.

This is just a DOJ ploy with two likely ideas behind it.
1. It gives them the fig leaf of "Ongoing investigation..." to dodge any and all document requests Congress / Republicans might make.
2. It gives them a reason to withdraw the plea deal while continuing to foot drag doing anything conclusive at all.
The object is likely to draw the investigation out past the 2024 election. If Joke loses, most of the Hunter thing goes away. If Joke wins, he's got four years and out, Hunter is no longer an issue to being reelected.

Indeed. Preventing Garland from being on the SCOTUS is another great accomplishment of Trump.
