Guess who Biden tapped to lead the Office of Special Counsel...

A former partner, actually, because Hunter Biden hasn’t been practicing law in…forever, really. Did he actually do anything as a lawyer other than flaunt his name? He broke the law a lot, but never really practiced it.

Still, the white-shoe law firm Boies Schiller Flexner employed Hunter and, lo and behold represented Burisma when Hunter was on the Board.

Joe Biden has decided that connection to his son apparently makes him a good choice to lead the Office of Special Counsel.

Because of course he does.

They don’t even try to hide their corruption, do they?

Biden on Wednesday tapped Hampton Dellinger to lead the office, which investigates corruption in the executive branch and provides protections to federal whistleblowers. Dellinger currently serves as head of the Justice Department’s office of legal policy.

If confirmed, Dellinger could create a conflict of interest given his links to Hunter Biden. Dellinger and the younger Biden worked together at the white shoe law firm Boies Schiller Flexner, the Washington Free Beacon reported. In 2014, Hunter Biden tapped Boies Schiller Flexner to represent Burisma Holdings, the Ukrainian energy firm where he served as a board member.

Hunter Biden and Boies Schiller Flexner’s crisis management and government response team developed a public relations and lobbying strategy to help Burisma, according to emails from Biden’s laptop. Dellinger served on Boies Schiller Flexner’s Crisis Management and Government Response team, though it is unclear if he did any work for Burisma.

In theory, the fact that two lawyers served at the same law firm doesn’t mean that there is anything necessarily unethical about a potential adversarial relationship between them, although it always looks bad. Assuming that both lawyers are completely ethical and above-board it is conceivable that integrity could override loyalty. Conceivable.

But c’mon. We are talking about Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, Burisma, and a friend of Hunter’s being in charge of a government office that is charged with investigating corruption.

As I said, they aren’t even trying to hide the coverups. They are that confident that the MSM and Democrats will defend them to the death.

Among the potential targets for Dellinger could be the IRS whistleblowers, who are being accused of committing crimes for blowing the whistle on the Hunter Biden tax case coverup. So not only could Dellinger cover for Hunter and Joe, he could also be in a position to retaliate against the very people who are exposing just how corrupt the “investigation” into Hunter Biden has been.

It is striking how incurious the MSM has been about the vast miasma of corruption emanating from the Biden Administration, the Justice Department, the FBI, and the US Attorneys’ offices. Nobody seems to give a damn about all the stink and the circumstantial (and stronger) evidence that Joe was in business with his son to sell influence and policy and is now engaged in a coverup through obstructing justice.

Political corruption is something of a constant, and the media is supposed to be our watchdog. They aren’t. They have partnered with the Democrats, and are even more responsible for selling out the country than Biden.

In that sense, they are worse than the Democrats. Everybody knows to distrust politicians; many people still haven’t figured out that the media lies to them even more than politicians.
