Rand Paul has come out against a special counsel being appointed to investigate Hunter Biden:
FOX NEWS – Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said Thursday that Hunter Biden “deserves the same justice that Paul Manafort got” but opposed appointing a special counsel to oversee the investigation into his tax affairs.
“Hunter Biden deserves the same justice that Paul Manafort got. Nothing less, nothing more,” he said, referring to President Trump’s former campaign chairman who was imprisoned for various financial crimes.
Some Republicans have called for the Justice Department appointing a special counsel before Biden takes office to look into the matter, but Paul said he opposed it because those kinds of prosecutors were “too powerful.”
Instead Paul calls on Biden to leave in place the US Attorney that is already investigating Hunter Biden:
Responding to President-elect Joe Biden’s “confident” claim that his son did nothing criminal, Paul said he should show it by bucking tradition on new presidents removing all U.S. attorneys. The younger Biden is under federal investigation for, among other things, his overseas business dealings.
“If he’s confident, he should leave in place the U.S. Attorney [in Delaware] who’s investigating Hunter Biden,” Paul told “Fox & Friends.” “Traditionally, when a new president comes in, they fire all the U.S. attorneys. If he wants to show that this is going to be an upright, upstanding Biden administration … he needs to leave that U.S. attorney in place.”
Paul said if Biden did fire the prosecutor in the first weeks of his presidency, justice wouldn’t be served.
I must say I disagree with Paul on this one. I believe a special counsel needs to be appointed, not because Hunter Biden himself was conducting overseas business deals, but because it was all apart of Joe Biden’s scheme to sell his influence.
As I mentioned on Twitter a few minutes ago when a hack reporter claimed that this is just payback for what was done to Trump:
What a hack.
It's about Joe Biden using his crime family to sell his influence to commies and other corrupt governments in order to make millions. Ukraine was the perfect example, which the garbage media you're apart of ignored.
That's why we need a special counsel! https://t.co/Xa8uV3haal

The media is garbage. They refuse to see the forest for the trees because they don’t want to see it. They want to pretend that there is nothing illegitimate to the Biden crime family’s business deals, which Joe has been lying about for years now.
Regarding Paul’s challenge that Biden keep the US Attorney investigating his son to prove he’s confident, that’s a nice sentiment. But he’s delusional if he believes that’s even a possibility. As soon as Biden is inaugurated, his first act will be to fire U.S. Attorney Scott Brady in order to stop the investigation into his son. This is simply another reason why we must have a special counsel to find out the truth here.
