Last Minute Swap of Hunter Biden Prosecution Team Is Raising a Lot of Questions

People are now questioning a rather unusual move by the Department of Justice regarding the Hunter Biden case.
When the Delaware U.S. Attorney’s office listed their prosecutorial team when they filed the charges in the matter, they listed three people who had not been involved in the case or the investigation over the years: Assistant US Attorneys Leo Wise, Derek Hines, and Benjamin Wallace. They appear to have swapped out the people who had been handling it for a while — AUSAs Lesley Wolf, Shawn Weede, and Shannon Hanson — raising the question of why the very unusual switch right before minor charges were filed against Hunter Biden?
A lawyer for IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley said, “None of the three [listed] were involved in the underlying investigation during Gary’s tenure, to my knowledge.”
One of the prosecutors listed on Weiss’s letter, Assistant US Attorney (AUSA) Ben Wallace, only joined the Delaware office in March this year.
On Monday DailyMail.com revealed that another, Derek Hines, has a potential conflict having worked from 2013 to 2015 as ‘Special Counsel’ to one of Hunter’s business partners, ex-FBI director Louis Freeh.
And AUSA Leo Wise was drafted to the Delaware office after being demoted from Chief of the Public Corruption and Fraud Unit at the Maryland US Attorney’s Office to a mere line prosecutor in the same unit in March, the Baltimore Sun reported.
So why was the more experienced team switched out for these guys, and did that in any way affect the charges that were filed?
