[HotAir] Congratulations,

Joe Biden — your scandal has officially become a "big f*****g deal," to quote you directly. After getting what turned out to be three separate notices that Biden had illegally retained and improperly stored classified information for six years, Attorney General Merrick Garland finally had enough. Garland announced minutes earlier that he has appointed a special counsel for a deeper investigation — matching up with the same step he took a month ago for a probe into Donald Trump’s alleged violations of federal law on classified material.
Biden will invoke the Schultz defense.
The timeline changed today, too. At first, all we knew is that the Penn Center documents were discovered on November 2, and the Biden claim that his team checked his other locations immediately afterward. If so, they took their time; the DoJ didn’t get informed about Biden’s garage documents until December 20, according to Garland, and then had to update that last week to include the classified document found in "an adjacent room." Not only does that sound much less organized, it leaves the impression that there may still be more to find, too.
Up until now, Garland had assigned US Attorney John Lausch, a Trump appointee but mainly a career federal prosecutor, to handle this as a normal DoJ investigation. Garland sounded as though he would have preferred to keep Lausch in place, but Lausch recommended the appointment of a special counsel after the second and third discoveries.
Instead, Garland has appointed Robert Hur as a formal special counsel, emphasizing that the former US Attorney would not work within the supervisory structure of the DoJ. Hur is also a Trump-era appointee, the NY Times notes:

#4 Hue was appointed by Trump and was one of two guys Biden kept. He is in charge of cleanup not investigation. Coney’s kid must have moved on to more lucrative opportunities.
