Merrick Garland Names Special Counsel on Trump; Still No Special Counsel on Hunter Biden
Breitbart ^ | 11/18/2022 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Posted on 11/18/2022 11:53:19 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Attorney General Merrick Garland reportedly plans to name a special counsel to investigate former President Donald Trump, though he has yet to name such counsel to investigate President Joe Biden or his son, Hunter.

Update: Garland named John L. Smith as special counsel Friday afternoon in a televised press statement. According to LinkedIn, Smith is the Deputy Assistant Attorney General of the Civil Rights Division at U.S. Department of Justice — one of the most highly politicized, left-wing departments within the agency.

Hunter Biden acknowledged in December 2020 that he had been under federal investigation for possible tax violations. Since then, the investigation reportedly broadened to include more of his global business dealings.

There is no special counsel statute. It’s in the internal self-made rules (28 CFR 600.1) of the DOJ.

…(b) That under the circumstances, it would be in the public interest to appoint an outside Special Counsel to assume responsibility for the matter...

And now you’re under investigation for personal attacks against a party member.

Merrick Garland will be impeached before his plans get started it’s a stall gig by Biden and his future isn’t looking happy now.

His marching orders are clear: Trump must be in prison (probably Gitmo) or dead before November 2024...

The communists have received what they consider absolute permission from the American serfs to do whatever it takes...

The Democrats, RINOs, Libertards, China-bots, and Cia-Fbi Corruptocrats MUST get rid of Trump—One way or another. They will do it too. Watch them as the Trump up some charge or another—arrest him as he will “Hang Himself in his cell” or be killed by a fanatic avenging that Iranian General. Its set up—It might well be that Trump will never see the Primary. That might be the plan. SO—Be careful Mr. Trump—That secret service agent, servant, pool boy or driver might well be an assassin.

This tells me the Mara Lago raid/investigation, (see latest MSM article concerning classified docs and reason for keeping them), and the J-6 investigation also found zero criminal exposure for Trump and his associates. They need to drag this out in the news but were going to have to drop it if it stayed on the current course. Now, they can say that the Special Counsel has just got started and it will take a lot of time to review the ongoing investigations and transfer all the files to the Special Counsels office. DELAY, DELAY, DELAY, LEAK, LEAK, LEAK.

It’s more than just two systems of justice. We are two countries now with absolutely nothing in common. No ties that bind.

This is why we have a unitparty. They have ZERO qualms about going after their political enemies. And they only go after those who try to get in the way of the unipartys agenda.
