A friend tells me Special Counsels are required to be found OUTSIDE government employment.
This is what he shared with me-
"The Attorney General appointed Federal Attorney David Weiss as Special Counsel to investigate Hunter Biden and the Biden Crime Family. Code of Federal Regulations, Title 28, Chapter IV, Part 600.3 says "The Special Counsel shall be selected from outside the United States Government." Once again, Merrick Garland, who Obama nominated for the Supreme Court, proves that rules do not apply to the democrats. This is all a blatant attempt to stonewall the Republicans in the House of Representatives when it comes to their investigation of the Biden Crime Family."
