That the U.S. attorney Joe Biden appointed to the job, and who has since been nominated by the president to a federal appellate clerkship, is overseeing this investigation is scandalous. Likewise, that the lead prosecutor in the case is on deck for Chung’s job creates a huge conflict of interest for the office. Attorney General Merrick Garland should immediately tap a special counsel to investigate Jim Biden’s involvement with Americore.
He won’t, of course, because Garland knows the corrupt media will ignore the conflict — just as it has left unnoticed the attorney general’s refusal to provide special counsel protection to the Republican-appointee Delaware U.S. attorney overseeing the investigation into the Biden family. Instead, Garland seems ready to sit idly by while, under the protection of the president, the Biden family papers over its problems with a possible indictment of Hunter Biden on middling tax and gun charges.
