This\u200d blatant disregard for DOJ policy suggests\u200c that both \u2062Attorney General Merrick Garland and Weiss intended \u2063to obscure the\u2064 truth about Weiss&#8217;s involvement in the \u2064case.<\/p>\n<p>The email\u200c revealing the DOJ&#8217;s policy was obtained through a Freedom of\u200b Information Act\u2063 (FOIA) lawsuit filed by the Heritage Foundation&#8217;s Oversight \u2063Project. It confirms that only the OLA\u2063 is authorized to\u2062 respond to requests from the legislative branch.<\/p>\n<h3>Questionable Actions and Violations<\/h3>\n<p>This\u2062 violation of policy is not an isolated incident. In May 2022, Republican Senators Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson wrote to\u200d Weiss inquiring about various aspects of the Hunter Biden investigation. Despite being instructed\u200b to forward the correspondence to the OLA, \u200cWeiss\u200d failed to do so.<\/p>\n<p>After the senators \u200csent\u200d a follow-up email \u200crequesting a response, Weiss&#8217;s office sought clarification from the DOJ. The \u2062<a title=\"Email reveals Weiss breached DOJ policy by sending letters to protect Garland.\" href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/exclusive-email-shows-weiss-violated-doj-policy-by-sending-letters-to-cover-for-garland\/\">subsequent email exchange explicitly stated<\/a> that\u2064 only the OLA could respond on behalf of the department.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this clear instruction, Weiss continued to act independently. The OLA eventually\u200d responded to Grassley and Johnson&#8217;s letter,\u200b but Weiss himself sent a \u200dletter to the senators, as well as to Garland and FBI Director Christopher \u2062Wray, further muddying the waters.<\/p>\n<h3>Unusual Responses and Misleading Statements<\/h3>\n<p>When House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan questioned \u200dGarland about the removal \u2062of\u200d IRS whistleblowers from the Hunter Biden investigation,\u2062 Weiss once again stepped in \u2062to respond on behalf of the <a title=\"BREAKING: AG Barr Authorizes Federal Prosecutors to Pursue \" href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-ag-barr-authorizes-federal-prosecutors-to-pursue-substantial-allegations-of-voting-irregularities-before-2020-election-is-certified\/\">attorney general<\/a>. This raised eyebrows, \u2063as \u200cit was \u2063a departure from DOJ \u2063policy.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan expressed his concerns about Weiss&#8217;s \u200dresponse and \u200crequested information about the drafting and dispatching of the letter. It is now\u200c evident that Weiss&#8217;s actions were in violation of the DOJ&#8217;s policy, which\u200d only authorized the OLA to handle legislative inquiries.<\/p>\n<p>The content of Weiss&#8217;s\u200d letter also\u2064 sheds light on the DOJ&#8217;s motives.\u200c It appears that Garland needed Weiss to \u200bconfirm his previous statement to Grassley during\u200d a hearing, where he claimed that Weiss had full authority over the investigation. Weiss&#8217;s assertion in the letter seemed to support\u2062 Garland&#8217;s testimony.<\/p>\n<h3>Contradictions and Cover-ups<\/h3>\n<p>However, <a title=\"Former Black Democrat Governor Of Virginia Blasts Democrat Candidate Terry McAuliffe Over Racism Scandal\" href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/former-black-democrat-governor-of-virginia-blasts-democrat-candidate-terry-mcauliffe-over-racism-scandal\/\">subsequent revelations<\/a> from \u2062the IRS\u200c whistleblower \u2062contradicted Weiss&#8217;s earlier claims. Forced to address this inconsistency, Weiss \u200dpenned a follow-up letter to Jordan, where he backtracked on his previous statement of having &#8220;ultimate authority.&#8221; Instead, he stated that he had only been &#8220;assured&#8221; that he would \u2063be granted authority if necessary.<\/p>\n<p>This contradiction raises further questions about the DOJ&#8217;s\u2062 involvement in\u2064 these letters. It is clear that Weiss&#8217;s actions were orchestrated by the department,\u2064 as he would have been in violation \u200cof policy otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>The DOJ has yet to respond to inquiries about Weiss&#8217;s violation of policy.\u200d This disregard for established procedures and the apparent\u2062 attempts to obfuscate \u2064the truth\u2064 only deepen the concerns surrounding the Hunter Biden investigation.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>What policy did David \u2062Weiss disregard by handling the inquiries instead\u200c of Ssley and Johnson, and why did \u2062he choose to do so?<\/h2>\n<p>Ssley and \u2062Johnson, confirming\u2062 that it\u2062 was their responsibility to handle the inquiries. This raises serious questions about why Weiss\u2062 chose to disregard the policy and why he falsely claimed to have authority over the investigation.<\/p>\n<h3>The Need for Accountability<\/h3>\n<p>The DOJ&#8217;s disregard for its own policies raises significant concerns about transparency and accountability within the department. It is essential that the American public can\u2062 trust\u200c that their government is \u200dacting in accordance with established rules and regulations.<\/p>\n<p>By ignoring the established protocol for responding to congressional inquiries, Weiss and potentially others \u2062within the DOJ\u200b have\u2063 created an environment of\u200c confusion\u2062 and mistrust. \u2062This lack of transparency undermines the integrity\u2064 of the investigation and casts doubt on the motivations \u200dbehind Weiss&#8217;s actions.<\/p>\n<p>It is also essential to examine the role of Attorney General\u2062 Merrick Garland in this\u2062 matter. As the head of the DOJ, Garland bears responsibility for ensuring that department \u2063policies are followed and that the actions of its employees are in line with\u2062 the law. If Weiss&#8217;s actions were contrary to established policies, it\u200b is crucial that Garland address this misconduct and take appropriate disciplinary action.<\/p>\n<h3>The Importance of the Hunter Biden \u200cInvestigation<\/h3>\n<p>The Hunter Biden\u2062 investigation has been a subject of great interest and controversy. The American people deserve to know the\u2063 truth about any potential wrongdoing involving the son of a sitting president.<\/p>\n<p>By disregarding policy and potentially\u200c seeking to obscure the truth, the DOJ undermines the legitimacy of the investigation. It is \u2062imperative that the department conducts this investigation with the utmost\u2063 integrity, ensuring that all evidence is thoroughly\u200c examined and that any potential violations of the law are held\u2063 accountable.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>The Department of\u200c Justice&#8217;s disregard for its own policy regarding congressional inquiries raises serious questions about transparency, accountability, and the integrity of the Hunter Biden investigation. It is imperative that Attorney General Merrick Garland address the misconduct of U.S. Attorney David\u2064 Weiss and take appropriate disciplinary action.<\/p>\n<p>The American \u200dpublic deserves to know that their\u200c government\u200c is acting in accordance with established \u200drules and regulations. The DOJ must prioritize transparency and uphold the\u2064 principles of justice for the benefit of the American people.
