President Biden selected an old legal colleague of his son Hunter Biden to helm the US Office of Special Counsel, whose primary purpose is protecting whistleblowers — like the ones who have alleged political interference in the five-year-old probe of the presidential scion.
Hampton Dellinger, nominated by Biden for the post of US Special Counsel Wednesday, worked on the Crisis Management and Government Response team at Boies Schiller Flexner in 2014.
Hunter Biden tapped that firm to assist Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings in 2014 and had dinner with Dellinger and others in March that same year, emails from his abandoned laptop show.
The younger Biden served on the board of Burisma from 2014 to 2019. It is unclear whether Dellinger did any legal work on Burisma’s behalf.
Back in July, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), and other Republicans urged current Special Counsel Henry Kerner to probe claims of retaliation by IRS supervisory agent Gary Shapley and agent Joseph Ziegler.

Does this mean there will be another Trump indictment in the next couple of days?
I think what it means is that Biteme just appointed a guy that is already on his team. Any potential whistleblower will be damn careful what he brings to this administration!
Fox, keep an eye on the hen house.
They don’t even try and hide this shit anymore
Geesh, talk about stacking the deck.
