Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz ridiculed Attorney General Merrick Garland’s machinations, such as making Delaware US Attorney David Weiss a special counsel, to protect President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and his son R. Hunter Biden in his most recent episode of the podcast “Verdict with Ted Cruz,” which dropped Aug 21.
“The idea that David Weiss is now the special prosecutor is utterly absurd,” said Cruz, who sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee, to his podcast co-host Ben Ferguson.
Beyond being absurd, Cruz said Garland skated around Justice Department regulations when he gave Weiss his new title.
Appointing David Weiss is, on its face, objectively illegal because he is a sitting U.S. Attorney, so he doesn’t meet the DOJ guidelines of being from outside the DOJ. But Merrick Garland wants him; he knows he has his patsy here. He knows he has a guy that will protect Joe Biden no matter what.
“David Weiss, when he was leading this investigation, was prepared to sign off on zero charges whatsoever for criminal conduct that Hunter Biden unquestionably had committed,” he said.
Cruz, a graduate of Harvard Law School, said he dismissed the idea that Weiss, who ran the case against Hunter for the previous five years, would suddenly become a hard-edged prosecutor now that he is a special counsel.
David Weiss was perfectly prepared to give not just the sweetheart deal but the super, super sweetheart deal, the sweetheart deal where Hunter Biden pleads guilty to nothing. That’s what Weiss was prepared to do. And it was under Weiss’s leadership that the obstruction of justice occurred, that they gave repeatedly heads up to Hunter Biden to enable him to frustrate the investigation. It was under David Weiss that DOJ officials inserted themselves into the investigation to make sure that zero questions were asked about Joe Biden.
