Fox News reports that high-level officials within the Justice Department are in “ongoing discussions” on whether to appoint a special counsel in the Hunter Biden corruption case that appears to include his father, the senile president-to-be, his uncle, and his aunt.
Some in the DOJ believe it is “warranted,” and, of course, it is to anyone with any significant amount of brain activity.
Fox has two sources. With Stonewall Barr gone, this is the time to strike.
Attorney General Bill Barr said earlier this week that he had “not seen a reason” to appoint a special counsel to probe President-elect Joe Biden’s son, who is under federal investigation for his “tax affairs.” That alone should tell us which side of the bread his butter landed on.
One source familiar told Fox News on Wednesday that it is an “open discussion.”
The unidentified source reportedly confirmed, “It is an ongoing discussion. No decisions have been made either way.”
Another source said some high-level officials within the Justice Department believe a special counsel is “warranted.”
The President could probably appoint one himself.
Don’t appoint Robert Mueller. Appoint Bret Tolman.

Even a special counsel will just let Hunter off the hook. Why bother?
How about Barr and Durham? Bwahaha! Just kidding because laughter is good.
Of course Trump can appoint one. The AG position is not a constitutional position, it has no special powers, and the President is the executive.
Fox is just another mouthpiece for DOJ propaganda. It always puts out stories of the the DOJ looking into this and that. Nothing ever happens.
If the President cannot be strong enough to assert his powers then he has a problem. He has spent 4 years not asserting himself against the DOJ, and it worked out very poorly. He has precious little time to act. He was never going to be able to defeat the deep state without being very tough, and he is not exhibiting that toughness.
