Attorney General Merrick Garland expected to name special counsel in Trump criminal probe, report says

[upsideguy]

I don’t think they will do it. Not for documents.

The documents case will be a slam dunk. It is the easiest case to bring and prove. There is nothing political about it: Trump took the documents, did not return them when asked and failed to comply with a subpoena. His obstructing the 2020 election process is a bit trickier, but I suspect he faces charges on both fronts.

Again, it would be a dereliction of duty to their oaths of office to look the other way on this and not prosecute.

Such pathetic whining and wishful thinking. You shouldn't do this to yourself.

When MyCrofts' posts start to become incoherent, you can tell he's beginning to worry about his cult leader. Perhaps this is a sign we should all look out for.

 

[Mycroft]

That’s exactly what we are talking about-the presidential records he illegally stole and possessed at MEL. His personal property-and there was some-has been or will be returned to him. It’s of no concern. The issue is the presidential records he stole.

Again...we are not talking about Presidential records. We are talking about executive branch documents and other information that has been declassified by Trump and ordered released to the public by Trump while he was still President.

Such embarrassing, demonstrable lies. Just, terrible.

Are you really not aware that Trump ordered a slew of documents declassified and released to the public?

You have allowed yourself to be ignorant of current events...more than four years ago.

President Trump Reportedly Ordering Declassification of 'Obamagate' Intel Documents

Excellent!

Unfortunately, the corrupt DOJ refused a direct order from the President.

Any rational American with a modicum of sense should be terrified, outraged and ultimately revolutionary in the wake of the treasonous Democrat take-down of the American constitutional republic.

It makes me wonder what else you have allowed yourself to be ignorant of.

Irrelevant nonsense.

 

[soap box]

Barr didn't "kill" Mueller, just his report. Garland didn't kill Durham, vague memory it's been so long but I think that's his name . I think this is the best move. The GOP won't be able to get at him as easy as it will be to get Garland. On the other hand will this drag things out?

It may delay ordinary steps through the courts only a few months or maybe more than a year. Heard it on the radio.

 

[EnigmaO01]

How likely is it that this Special Counsel will indict the Republican front runner for 2024?

Almost a 0% chance regardless of the evidence imo.

Front Runner?

 

[TomFitz]

If Trump releases the information while there is an investigation going on, he'll be charged with obstruction of justice.

The Mueller investigation stopped him.
The Durham investigation stopped him.
And now, this Garland special counsel will stop him.

What? trump never had any qualms about obstruction of justice.

Again...we are not talking about Presidential records. We are talking about executive branch documents and other information that has been declassified by Trump and ordered released to the public by Trump while he was still President.

A. Trump has not made any legal filing that asserts that he declassified any documents. What he says to Fox doesn’t count.
B. There are no records that indicate Trump declassified the documents at Mar a Lago or ordered the same made public. The few that you cited weren’t the full compliment of documents taken.
C. Whether they were declassified or not is irrelevant. Taking government documents is a crime. Hiding that fact is another crime. Obstructing the return of those documents is another crime.

This case is open and shut.

Are you really not aware that Trump ordered a slew of documents declassified and released to the public?

You have allowed yourself to be ignorant of current events...more than two years ago.

Is that because Kash Patel told you he did? I'll bet he never told that to the grand jury. Is there any proof of it anywhere? No Trump attorney has ever said that once in all the court filings since MAL was searched.

Beside the fact that the documents case does not rely on 'classified' documents.

 

[Stealers Wheel]

Here we go again. Trump announces and the investigations start up. They did this since 2015 and yet they have failed to prove criminal acts despite all their claims. Are democrats that afraid that Trump will not only run but will be the nominee and win the election. That's certainly what it looks like.

You've got it all wrong. If it were up to democrats (rank and file), Trump would already be on trial.

The fact is, there is no intention to prosecute Trump. This all just for show. Now the SP can take his sweet time, run out the clock, and hopefully there will be a republican in the WH before he releases his report. In which case, the new AG will dismiss the case and it goes away. Nobody in Washington wants Trump prosecuted. It will set a bad precedent as far as they are concerned.

Remember, there is one set of laws for the politically elite and another for the rest of us.

 

[Mycroft]

A. Trump has not made any legal filing that asserts that he declassified any documents.

He doesn't have to.

B. There are no records that indicate Trump declassified anything or ordered anything made public.

Not true. Hell, even the media reported what he did back in 2018.

C. Whether they were declassified or not is irrelevant. Taking government documents is a crime. Hiding that fact is another crime. Obstructing the return of those documents is another crime.

Again, not true. He ordered those declassified documents to be released to the public. When he left the WH, he became a member of the public. He is legally able to possess those documents, just like anyone else in the public.

This case is open and shut.

Open, dismissed and shut.

Hell, why do you think Garland hasn't indicted Trump after all this time? He doesn't have a case.

 

[Mycroft]

Is that because Kash Patel told you he did? I'll bet he never told that to the grand jury. Is there any proof of it anywhere? No Trump attorney has ever said that once in all the court filings since MAL was searched.

Actually, the news media said he did. Don't you keep up with the news?

 

[The AntiDonald]

Actually, the news media said he did. Don't you keep up with the news?

If you heard it on Fox, it came from Kash Patel. Absolutely no proof of any of it other than the word of known liars.

 

[Logician Man]

Hell, why do you think Garland hasn't indicted Trump after all this time? He doesn't have a case.

Did Garland tell you this^ in person, or via some other form of communication?

 

[TomFitz]

Rich from someone that believes Biden is competent.

Pathetic attempt at deflection. He accurately pointed out to you that your failed fuhrer announced that he was going to break the law. (He has plenty of practice).

 

[TomFitz]

When MyCrofts' posts start to become incoherent, you can tell he's beginning to worry about his cult leader. Perhaps this is a sign we should all look out for.

How can you tell?

 

[TomFitz]

If you heard it on Fox, it came from Kash Patel. Absolutely no proof of any of it other than the word of known liars.

He was just deposed by the Committee. He was part of the trump plot.

 

[blue scorpion]

Rich from someone that believes Biden is competent.

Biden's competency may be a matter of debate, but one thing is clear, he did beat the loser Trump and even what he craps is more competent than Trump.

 

[yankintx]

Turtles move faster than Garland

 

[blue scorpion]

Again...we are not talking about Presidential records. We are talking about executive branch documents and other information that has been declassified by Trump and ordered released to the public by Trump while he was still President.

Another brain fart you can not support.

 

[Stealers Wheel]

Open, dismissed and shut.

Hell, why do you think Garland hasn't indicted Trump after all this time? He doesn't have a case.

Actually, he does. The SM stated in court, either Trump produces evidence of declassification or the DOJ's primae facia case that the documents are still classified is how it is.

Trump's "order" is impotent if it was not carried out. There are protocols that Trump's underlings have to follow in order to carry out his order. Those procedures were never carried out. Now you can bitch slap someone for not following orders, but that doesn’t mean the documents are declassified.

 

[Ethel2]

Again...we are not talking about Presidential records. We are talking about executive branch documents and other information that has been declassified by Trump and ordered released to the public by Trump while he was still President.

Again, the topic of the discussion is the appointment of a SC to investigate the fact that the jackass stole presidential documents and kept them at MeL.
