JOHN ROBERTS: We talked about this fellow, Gal Luft, who has been arrested and charged with being an unregistered foreign agent of China. Luft insists that he told the FBI about potential corrupt ties between the Biden family and China. The fact that he's been arrested now and is accused of being an agent of China has got the left just, you know, having a field day with this, saying it shreds his credibility, but the flip side of that coin is if you're accused of being a foreign agent for China, you probably know who else is working with them.
REP. DARRELL ISSA (R-CA): Well you know the amazing thing is we don't prosecute foreign corruption and failure to register as a foreign agent when it's Hunter Biden. We do when it's somebody who specifically is accusing and says they have information about the wrongdoing of the Biden family. Again, this is the kind of questions that the FBI director won't answer. But he will be asked/
ROBERTS: The IRS whistleblower, Gary Shapley, said the U.S. Attorney in Delaware, David Weiss, had asked to be appointed as special prosecutor and he was denied by the justice department. Weiss sent a letter to Lindsey Graham on that front and here's what he said. He said, "I have not requested special counsel designation. Rather, I had discussions with department officials regarding potential appointment [as a special attorney] which would have allowed me to file charges in a district outside of my own without the partnership of a local U.S. attorney. I was assured that I would be granted this authority if it proved necessary." So, he may not have specifically asked to be designated special counsel, but he certainly explored the idea.
ISSA: Well he certainly knew that Hunter Biden investigation transcended Delaware, that in fact he needed global authority which he didn't have. The fact that he said I would be granted it if I asked for it means to me he would be granted it if he asked for it and they approved it because they then, looking at what he had, gave him an OK, and that's a long way from a special prosecutor who can go anywhere, any time, to find the truth, which is really what this administration implied was Weiss's authority, but it clearly wasn't.
