The investigation is in response to a complaint filed by US Representative Bill Pascrell, who represents New Jersey, on Election night. Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh said in a statement that "The war room needed to be in close proximity to the President and there is no expense whatsoever to American taxpayers"

Bill Pascrell is a NJ dirtbag democrat who will be voted into elections until he’s dead. I used to live in his area in Passaic county.

What? “Special Counsel” is an appointed prosecutor, and it isn’t appointed by legislators...

This is nonsense. There is NO “special counsel” appointed to be investigating anything at this time.
But we definitely need one to investigate the massive vote fraud occurring in 6 states right now.

The previous 42 occupants of the White House never used it for any political purpose. That's why Trump is considered unpresidential.

Compared to the obscene amount of taxpayer money Joe Biden has appropriated for himself and his family over the decades? Please! Biden got Secret Service protection for everybody and his dog in his family while he was VP, and then, of course, there are the taxpayer funded trips where he took family along for the graft.

Now anyone who holds office who does not go along with the establishment will be investigated for invented “crimes.” They will try to imprison Trump over some made-up thing as a message to anyone who fights the system. Are purges and show trials next?

The claim is that he violated the Hatch Act, however:

The Hatch Act of 1939 limits the political activities of federal employees, except the president and vice president.

Kerner received a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in history from the University of California, Los Angeles, before obtaining his J.D. at Harvard Law School in 1992.

He spent 18 years as a prosecutor in California before becoming staff director for U.S. Senator John McCain at the United States Senate Homeland Security Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. In 2011, Kerner joined the United States House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, working beneath Under Chairman Darrell Issa and Chairman Jason Chaffetz.

Kerner went on to become Assistant Vice President for Investigations at the small-government advocacy organization Cause of Action Institute. In June 2017, President Donald Trump nominated Kerner to become Special Counsel at the United States Office of Special Counsel.[5] He was confirmed by the 115th Congress with final voting from the U.S. Senate in October 2017.

How about a special counsel in regards the Biden laptop?

OTOH, how much of it is just ridiculously shady, and not actually illegal.

Communist plan: After taking power, ‘prosecute’ and execute all enemies!

They will not stop at just killing Trump, they will kill all of us too!

Russia, China, Cambodia, everywhere communists take over they kill their enemies.
