Okay, first things first. CTH will not play the pretending game or structure the discussion of the special counsel appointment through the prism of MSM references. Instead, we will stick to the facts as they are presented, explain the events as they are factually reflected within the actual documents, and avoid the pretending constructs.

The overarching Lawfare framework has been transparently created by President Obama’s former White House Legal Counsel and current U.S. Asst Attorney General Lisa Monaco. To wit, earlier this afternoon Joe Biden’s Attorney General, Merrick Garland, announced the appointment of DOJ Attorney Jack Smith as special counsel to investigate two specific areas:
♦ First, to investigate current republican members of congress (House and Senate), former President and current candidate Donald J Trump, former Trump administration officials, former White House staff, and other individuals, groups and organizations for their role in supporting an insurrection on January 6, 2021, against the incoming administration of President-Elect Joe Biden. In essence, the J6 investigation – with an emphasis on congress – transfers to Special Counsel Jack Smith:
The Special Counsel is authorized to conduct the ongoing investigation into whether any person or entity violated the law in connection with efforts to interfere with the lawful transfer of power following the 2020 presidential election or the certification of the Electoral College vote held on or about January 6, 2021, as well as any matters that arose or might arise directly from this investigation or that are within the scope of [Special Counsel Regulations 28 C.F.R. § 600.4(a)]. (pdf)
This is an extension of the January 6th Committee special investigation that transfers the committee’s investigative findings, ie phone records, text messages, transcripts, emails, prior testimony and all evidentiary records, into the newly appointed Special Counsel.
However, all prior and current DOJ prosecutions against citizen individuals will remain within the control and direction of Main Justice. This structure frees up Jack Smith to target the new republican controlled congressional members, their staff, families and/or communication network. Main Justice keeps focus on the citizen insurrectionists, Jack Smith now appointed to go after the public officials.
J6 Committee staff, committee investigators, FBI agents and DOJ lawyers will now transfer from the committee to the special counsel office. Watch. (More on why later)
♦ Second – and this is ancillary to the first priority – DAG Lisa Monaco has written, and AG Garland has appointed, Jack Smith to target Donald Trump with the same special counsel process previously used by Robert Mueller and Andrew Weissmann.

That’s the alarming part of this maneuver:
The FIB can refuse to answer any question put to it by by Congress, claiming that it falls under the purview of this new investigation. At the same time it can harass individual congress members over supporting the’Insurrection.’
It’s a shield as well as a weapon. It brings to mind the Terror conducted by the Jacobins in the French Revolution: criticism of the administration becomes proof of treason or collaboration, and it will take years to resolve in the courts. By that time those courts will be packed with democrat appointments.
The juries will be pulled from inside the beltway.
Every agency should receive funding votes on a monthly timeframe. If they stray, the next month’s funding should fail in the House, never making it to the Senate. The next timeframe after rejected funding should become weekly.
Thank you.
He also persecuted Va governor Bob McDonnell and worked for the corrupt Hospital Corporation of America in 2017.
Maybe Congress can conduct an investigation into these as well? At least they may be able to undermine his credibility.
Of course he’ll have a head start, as Sundance points out.

Those guys in the House better wake up. They are under a full scale attack, and they better fight back.
The Republicans need to set up a parallel investigation of the DOJ, the DNC and Joe Biden’s family.
Biden’s options have ended he’s a rat looking for a place to hide he’s the one that needs to be investigated with the paper trail that Hunter left behind Ukraine........................
The Dems/Deep State/Globalists are taking down all opposition. It’s as simple as that.
There will come a day when the old guard of the DNC falls from grace. It will be preceded by much ado with them demanding they be free of prosecution for any possible crimes. It would serve the country well to give them their promises and then promptly prosecute them with vengeance. Break into their property and use the same tactics they have prefected. Put the richest and most powerful in the gulag under the Capital Building. Again treat them exactly the same. Enact new laws that bring back the death penality and hang them like commom criminals.
The demise of the DNC is going to be followed by years of citizen administered justice. I doubt any of us old cis white males will be around to see justice melted out - but maybe our children will have the pleasure.
Hide from what? Biden is untouchable.
From November 2016 until Jan 2021, there was an ongoing insurrection within the military, state governments and the bureaucracies of the Federal government. There is no other word for this purposeful action.
For all DJT’s positives, he never spoke out about it directly, or initiated legal procedures against it. Now that he is a civilian, he is royally fuqqed in that way, but it is his fault. He should have grabbed control of the military, retired any brass that refused a direct order, and had them investigate the FBI and the people within government working AGAINST THE LEGAL HEAD OF STATE. Either he controlled things outside the Legislative and Judicial, or he was a figure head. Since he couldn’t control Judicial, he could have a Military tribunal investigate, try and convict them.
Those who conspired to work against the President outside of the Legislature were committing an insurrection.
All the investigations into Trump are just busy work, to keep those who are REQUIRED to investigate crimes, such as slow walking, working against official government policy behind the scenes and treason... to occupy their time and budget.
Either Trump controlled things outside the Legislative and Judicial, or he was a figure head. Even Biden is a figure head, but one who does what he is told. THAT is a battle most Americans could get behind. It is not Trump v Dems, it is THE POTUS, against official DC.
Instead of calling it the Deep State, call it what it is. It is treason, and an insurrection to overturn the duly elected leader of the country. PERIOD .
Well…THAT didn’t take long!
Emboldened by their second successful theft of an election, the communists are merely taking the next logical steps...
They know that there is absolutely no chance that the American serfs will attempt to do anything to stop them...
Not a chance his number is up it’s only just getting started he’s lost a lot of power with the loss of the house.
Hunter and FTX casts a big shadow over him the thumb screws are on.
We only have the House by one or two seats, part of the plan here is to indict and have removed a couple of Republican House members.
