Surprise: Biden Demands Resignations From All US Attorneys ‐ Except These Two

[Hot Air] All of the top presidentially appointed federal prosecutors will get pink slips in the mail as early as today, a fairly usual part of any change of administrations. Excuse me, I meant to write that it’s fairly usual when a Democrat comes into the White House. Asking appointees to clear out their desks is a scandal when a Republican takes over the presidency, at least in the media.

Two lucky members of the club will get a pass, however — because Joe Biden doesn’t want to look corrupt:

The hall pass given to John Durham and David Weiss is far more interesting, politically if not legally.

Durham’s probe involves the partisanship and politicization of the FBI and DoJ during Operation Crossfire Hurricane and the FBI’s potential spying on a major-party presidential candidate. ... If Biden removed Durham at this point, especially with the public record of Crossfire Hurricane already at its present stage, it wouldn’t suggest “partiality” — it would smell of a cover-up.

That’s even more obviously true with Weiss, whose investigation involves the Biden family directly. The DoJ’s Hunter Biden probe got partially exposed by the New York Post before the election and confirmed shortly afterward by William Barr.

#1 They are so arrogant and certain of the permanence of the coup that the need to disguise corruption and payoff is disappearing. This and the introduction of secret ballots moments before the impeachment starts made feel like watching soviet government at work in the Union of Soviet States of America.

#3 I realize it probably won't end well, but there's just something heartwarming about lawyers getting their arses fired.

#4 I thought Durham had special counsel status?
