Alan Dershowitz claims AG Garland’s Weiss appointment in Hunter Biden case is unlawful.
Harvard Law Professor: Garland’s Appointment of Special Counsel in Hunter Biden Case Illegal
Harvard Law School professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz has raised concerns about the legality of Attorney General Merrick Garland’s appointment of U.S. Attorney David Weiss as the special counsel in Hunter Biden’s case.
Dershowitz recently shared an article on his Substack page, highlighting § 600.3(c) of the Code of Federal Regulations, which states that a special counsel should be “selected from outside the United States government.” According to Dershowitz, this requirement ensures the independence of the special counsel and their ability to view the evidence objectively.
While acknowledging Weiss’ previous involvement in investigating Hunter Biden, Dershowitz expressed suspicion due to Weiss’ association with a ”sweetheart deal” that was ultimately rejected by a federal judge. This deal aimed to protect Hunter Biden from future prosecution and was met with opposition from Republicans who have called for a special prosecutor in the case.
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner voiced concerns about Weiss’ appointment, emphasizing that it appears more limited in scope compared to the authority given to his predecessor, Bill Barr. Turner also raised concerns about Weiss allowing the statute of limitations to expire on dershowitz-ag-garlands-weiss-appointment-in-hunter-biden-case-is-illegal/” title=”Alan Dershowitz claims AG Garland’s Weiss appointment in Hunter Biden case is unlawful.”>critical felony charges
