<p>CNN legal analyst Elie Honig held nothing back during a Monday appearance on &#8220;CNN This Morning,&#8221; claiming that newly-appointed Special Counsel <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/alan-dershowitz-ag-garlands-weiss-appointment-in-hunter-biden-case-is-illegal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">David Weiss</a> and the Justice Department had made &#8220;an unholy mess&#8221; of the investigation into President Joe Biden&#8217;s son <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/plurality-of-americans-lack-confidence-in-dojs-hunter-biden-inquiry-poll" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hunter Biden</a>.</p>
<p>Honig <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/david-weis-doj-accused-making-unholy-mess-with-hunter-biden-case-all-over-map?intcmp=tw_fnc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spoke with host Poppy Harlow</a> about Weiss&#8217; long history with the case, noting that the Delaware-based U.S. Attorney had multiple opportunities to charge the president&#8217;s embattled son and that he had repeatedly put off doing so until whistleblower testimony and public pressure backed him into a corner.</p>
<p>Harlow began with a report from The New York Times that said Weiss had been prepared to forego any charges in Hunter&#8217;s case but that the IRS whistleblowers had forced his hand.</p>

<p>&#8220;The takeaway is that the DOJ has made an unholy mess of this whole Hunter Biden situation. I fault David Weiss, who I’ve spoken positively about on this show, given his long service as a U.S. attorney,&#8221; Honig agreed.</p>
<p>&#8220;But if you look at that reporting, first he was willing to let this thing go altogether. Political pressure ramped up, he backtracks and says, &#8216;Oh no we’re going to need to take misdemeanor pleas,'&#8221; Honig continued. &#8220;Then they go into court ready to take misdemeanor pleas, more pressure, more testimony from the IRS and then this deal falls apart, and now he says, &#8216;Well now I need to be called Special Counsel.'&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It seems like now twice, he’s tried to make this case go away cheaply, twice been called out on it, and twice backtracked, only in response to the whistleblowers,&#8221; the legal analyst concluded.</p>
<p>Weiss&#8217; apparent willingness to let the younger Biden off with a proverbial wrist-slap is one of the main reasons that many Republicans — who have long been calling for the Justice Department to appoint a special counsel to oversee Hunter Biden&#8217;s case — are at least wary that Weiss was the one chosen to take on that task.</p>
