Special Counsel is still under the supervision of Biden's AG and he could cancel it at any time.

When Trump said he would push for congressional term limits and strict lobbying reforms he essentially tripled the size of the bullseye on his back. Lol

If they ARE going to move forward with an investigation, appointment of a special counsel is really the only way to do it. Conducting such an investigation under the supervision of Biden's AG would be entirely inappropriate.


Exactly. Think back to the Ken Starr investigation. A sitting president or a presidential candidate is best investigated and prosecuted by a special prosecutor who does not report to the administration.

Isn't this like 2017-2020 all over again? How many millions of taxpayer dollars have been sucked up by this crap? Ten percent could go towards investigating the big guy but no one wants those answers.

About the only parallel between the two situations is the special counsel part. Only those two words. This situation has already been egregious and turning it over to a special prosecutor doesn’t and won’t change that.

not really.
1. Mueller was under Trumps doj.
new guy Smith does not come under the guilty party's controls.

2. the mal crimes are simple.
+ mishandling. defense is "I already declassified by saying or thinking."

+ the only interesting piece is proving trump knew that there were still docs IN HIS OFFICE AND HIS DESK even while his representative signed there were none.


we probably get a supreme court ruling whether Mr trump could in fact reclassify verbally.
I know there's a Clinton era case related.

Word is that they it's going to be a man with an impeccable reputation as being a non-partisan upholder of the law - Eric Holder.

The term you people invented “whataboutism” is not a defense against hypocrisy, double standards or selective prosecutions. Y’al didn’t invent a force field with that word they way you believe, everyone else sees it as the obvious fascist tactic it is.

It is just a “look”, as Garland is 1000% biased.

Then again, you are a lying POS communazi that has no problem with political persecution.

It is what your idols did in Soviet Russia, Nazi Germany, and Mao in your own homeland.

November 9th, 2022, Biden was asked about Trump getting back to the White House. His response:
THE PRESIDENT: Well, we just have to demonstrate that he will not take power by — if we — if he does run. I’m making sure he, under legitimate efforts of our Constitution, does not become the next President again.


The word 'conspiracy' comes to mind.

US District Court Judge issues bench warrant for Garland. Claims he is interfering in the special master review of Mar a Lago raid documents.
