Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1:

  • On Friday, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced that he has appointed U.S. Attorney for the District of Delaware David Weiss as Special Counsel in the Hunter Biden investigation. At the conclusion of his press briefing, Garland was asked: "If Weiss had the authority he needed, why does he need to be a special counsel?” He refused to answer the question.
  • FLASHBACK: In June 2023 Attorney General Merrick Garland told the press that U.S. Attorney for the District of Delaware David Weiss has “more authority than a Special Counsel would have…he has complete authority.” If that were true, why has Garland decided to appoint Weiss as Special Counsel now?
  • Appearing on Fox News following Merrick Garland’s announcement, George Washington University Law School Professor Jonathan Turley noted that the Department of Justice waited to appoint a special counsel until after the statute of limitations had “run” on several “critical crimes.”
  • Dr. Carrie Gress— Fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center and a scholar at the Institute for Human Ecology at the Catholic University of America—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss her new book, “The End of Woman: How Smashing the Patriarchy Has Destroyed Us.” It releases on August 15th and can be pre-ordered now: https://www.regnery.com/9781684514182/the-end-of-woman/
