Had Biden or Garland removed David Weiss, you guys would have screamed bloody murder.

Why?

The fact that Weiss screwed the pooch is pretty par for the course for a Trump appointee, no?

Obama named him interim US Attorney, so the dart you threw just stuck Barack in the ass. Good shootin', Tex.

I think I mentioned in another, earlier thread that Hunter Biden might skate on charges because of Trump's political influence -- his relentless hammering against Hunter Biden and his calls to jail him -- forensics that confirmed the laptop hard drive had been hacked and there was no chain of custody, and other poisonous tree branches that will prevent FARA evidence from ever getting into a courtroom. Oh, and statute of limitations. I mean, Jeebus, Hunter Biden has been under investigation for years now.

And this is why you're not an attorney. You're aware that by accepting a plea he's already admitted to a ton of crimes, right?

Not to mention that even the misdemeanor charges were pretty unusual... almost nobody gets charged when they actually pay the past due taxes and didn't a case just get overturned in the Supreme Court as unconstitutional for exactly what Hunter Biden was charged with in the gun license portion of the plea agreement: the "not using drugs" statement?

Actually for what Hunter did people get slapped with felonies and do hard time, especially the gun part.

While the U.S. attorney for Delaware was negotiating for Hunter Biden to plead to two misdemeanor tax charges, other things were happening in neighboring New Jersey. Last week U.S. District Judge Stanley R. Chesler sentenced Gabriel M. Ferrari, owner of a Linden auto-repair shop, to one year and one day in prison after Mr. Ferrari pleaded guilty to filing a false company tax return. His return failed to include all his income and claimed deductions for personal expenses, including gambling on horse races. In addition to the prison term, he will be required to pay restitution.

As for this:
Weiss messed this up good.

You actually got this right: Weiss DID mess up. His job was to make this alllll go away quietly, and he failed.
