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

I just stated...in so many words...that the DOJ is doing this for political purposes.

I am sure you think that, but what you think is moot. You immerse yourself in political porn, hence live in fact free world. I am sure you are a smart guy, but you waste that intelligence by choosing to wallow in your own ignorance. You dismiss yourself by what you read and thus neuter the effectiveness of your comments.

Trump was caught read handed with highly sensitive documents that were not his; did not return them with ordered to do so and defied a federal subpoena. There is nothing political about that. He is in deep do do and did it to himself. He most likely will be charged.

Trump ran a multi-facted campaign (conspiracy) to set aside the results of the 2020 election. A campaign that included attempts to intimidate election officials, fraudulently promote alternative electors, obstruct the election process and promote, incite and sanction violence. If you don't get that, I suggest you watch two of j6 committee hearings. His crimes are pretty well documented by some of his closest advisers and supporters.

Trump is a very bad dude. Perhaps the single greatest threat to America we have ever seen. The only thing political are his cult followers that lack the sense of decency and lack the patriotism to say enough is enough and move on. He will be prosecuted. You should decide to stand with your country and not against it.

Where was the whistleblower in 2020? You expect me to believe he self-identified to the Senate a few days ago but not two years ago, when there was an actual Senate investigation ongoing?

If you can explain that, I'm all ears. Otherwise, it's bullshit.

Maybe you missed my edit (the addition of an OP link quote) to post #165.

How long before we get a special council appointed to investigate the “Big Guy”? ;)

It remains Garland's decision to prosecute. This just separates the investigation from Garland creating an independent expert who will then recommend to Garland what should be done.

We don't appoint SC's to "investigate" obscure text messages. That would be on World #2. I hear they're running short of tinfoil. Damn Biden causing inflation on World #2 as well. Damn you Biden!!! *fist*

Mariotti reiterates that Smith isn’t hired to “wind down“ the investigation. I agree, wholeheartedly, that all of this, (6JAN included,) is happening very late in the game.

What makes this Groundhog Day for me is that I was following many of the same respectable lawyers in 2017 as I am now, and they were gaga over Mueller too.

Right now? The Durham nonsense.

You are just grasping at straws. The Durham investigation came up with zero and it does not impede Trump from releasing evidence of malfeasance if he had any. What's IS preventing evidence is lack of evidence.

To add, I must laugh at you parroting Trump, who always plays the victim, even when he's the perpetrator.

Exactly, many may be thinking of the old days of having special prosecutors (with the power to indict).

I don’t know about “gaga,” but these conditions are a little different. There is Biden’s candidacy and Trump’s recent announcement. I see the conflict of interest, but as i posted earlier, things have been delayed for too long with a very public justice system delayer. They have to have their eye on a swift closure and not letting this drag into the 2024 election cycle very much further.

Yeah, he was a sitting POTUS the last time, but he also had a hand in tipping the levers……

Big difference with Mueller. Total republican control when he started out. Obstruction coming from the WH and then eventually Barr. None of that happens this time. This guy has instructions to go after anyone who was involved in obstructing the peaceful transfer of power.

Puts this squarely on Trump's back. As far as the documents case, it's a slam dunk. Those will be the first indictments we'll see.

None of these same respectable lawyers had any idea how much obstruction would come from Trump and Barr.

Wouldn’t “figuring that out” require an investigation?

A routine investigation maybe...a special counsel? I think not.

BTW....I bet they have already investigated all that stuff. It really isn't very complicated .

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.

Here we go with the stupid posts again. These investigations into Trump have been ongoing for quite some time now. They were paused per standing DOJ policy not to take any active steps with investigations connected with political figures in the 2 or 3 month period leading up to a major election. Trump’s lawyers were reportedly convinced that indictments were going to be forthcoming shortly after the election. The pause period is over. That’s why Trump made the announcement of his candidacy nearly immediately after the election. To stave off indictments he and his lawyers believed to be imminent.

They obviously had been investigating Trump for months.
