Special Counsel Nominee
-
Today, President Joe Biden announced his intent to nominate Hampton Dellinger to serve as Special Counsel, Office of the Special Counsel.
The U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC) is an independent federal investigative and prosecutorial agency. OSC’s basic authorities come from four federal statutes: the Civil Service Reform Act, the Whistleblower Protection Act, the Hatch Act, and the Uniformed Services Employment & Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA).
Dellinger, who was previously appointed to a position in the Justice Department, once worked with Hunter Biden while on the crisis management side of Boies Schiller Flexner, an international law firm. Hunter Biden served as counsel at the firm, and “tapped [it] to provide public relations and business consulting for Burisma” in 2014.
“Emails from Biden’s laptop show he worked closely with lawyers on Boies Schiller Flexner’s crisis management team,” the Washington Free Beacon’s Chuck Ross reported in 2021, when Dellinger was appointed to the Justice Department. “Biden’s laptop emails also indicate he attended a private dinner party with Dellinger and several other Boies Schiller Flexner lawyers in March 2014.”
Hunter Biden was hired onto the board of Burisma in 2014, raking in excessive compensation from the Ukrainian energy company while his father was the Obama administration’s point man on Ukraine. In 2018, Joe Biden bragged about pressuring the Ukrainian government to fire a top prosecutor who was investigating his son’s firm. Months after the Ukrainian prosecutor in question was fired, Hunter Biden signed an official letter from Burisma complaining to the new prosecutor about his investigation into the company. The Biden name on the letter lent its weight, and its intimate connection to the American vice president, to the company. Former Biden family business partner Devon Archer told House lawmakers that building the company’s “brand” to intimidate the firm’s opponents was the entire point of hiring Hunter Biden.
