Unlike the rabidly anti-Trump MSNBC legal analyst Glenn Kirschner, whose legal instincts would be in line with a Keith Olbermann, CNN's senior legal analyst Elie Honig sometimes tosses out curve balls at variance with the liberal narrative usually taken by his network. One such occasion was on Saturday morning during Honig's appearance on Smerconish. He told the host that Jack Smith appeared to be in violation of the Department Of Justice policy that prosecutors should not select the timing of any action with an election in mind.

Here is the dilemma on that topic that Attorney General Merrick Garland is facing according to Michael Smerconish:

BTW, since the J6 trial can't be scheduled until 88 days AFTER the Supreme Court rules on the immunity appeal. , the Florida documents case could easily be scheduled BEFORE it meaning that J6 case can't start until AFTER the Florida case is finished. And the judge in Florida is in no hurry to conclude her trial before the election which means a very very FRUSTRATED Jack Smith could end up pulling out his hair and punching his pillow.

[ComputerGuy]

He is one morose-looking individual.

In the old days, when cops were cops, they would watch him like a hawk. He looks guilty, of something, and probably is.

Bu..but he went to Subway and bought a sandwich! Didn't you see the incredible significance in that? It was such a big feature last year in the media as if Jack Smith victoriously proved some sort of point.

He looks like an unkempt dog to me. He has demon eyes.

[silent majority rising]

He did prove a point. Media are idiots.

Trump has another card up his sleeve. All he has to do is fire his lawyers and hire a new one. There is no law against this and he is able to do this once, I think. What does firing his lawyers do? Since the case is so complicated they would have to give him and his new lawyers over 6 months just to get up to speed. Likely, they would give him a year.

He also made up law. Targets Republicans selectively.

They’re just criminals with badges at this point.

No different than the Federales in Mexico.
