Department of Justice officials have reportedly discussed the possibility of appointing a special counsel to oversee the investigations related to former President Donald Trump should he opt to run again for the nation's top job in 2024.
Though they are waiting for the midterm elections to pass before making major public moves, the DOJ is reportedly bringing on additional experienced prosecutors and preparing for a potential slew of indictments against major figures in Trump world, CNN reported, citing "sources familiar with the matter."
"Now federal investigators are planning for a burst of post-election activity in Trump-related investigations," CNN reported. "That includes the prospect of indictments of Trump's associates – moves that could be made more complicated if Trump declares a run for the presidency."
Trump has previously faced a special counsel investigation from Robert Mueller, who explored the now-thoroughly-debunked Trump-Russia collusion narrative.
While the DOJ seeks to avoid the appearance of partisan political activity, federal officials have already prompted a bevy of external criticism for alleged political persecution, most notably in the wake of the FBI's raid on Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in early August. Officials reportedly hope that an independent special counsel handling Trump matters might insulate the DOJ somewhat from accusations of partisanship, though Trump-related issues are far from the only matters attracting such scrutiny.

Assuming a big Republican sweep, warning shots to their budget should be sent to the DOJ and FBI and IRS. A Republican congress should be more than willing to end their business as usual approach.
Dr. Paul Alexander talks about his inside knowledge that covid was used to take down President Trump. He is not speculating he is recounting what he witnessed.
Disband the DOJ. They serve only political tyrany. They have no value in justice for the country or public. They are a mega-sized Ultra Stasi.
Trump’s base of support will never be eroded.
“while being entangled in legal jeopardy”
And who is the #2 guy the GOP has? DeSantis. And he is being investigated by the Feds too.
Republicans need to realize this is not about Trump. It is not just about the people who are around him.
Put your #2 guy up there and the same will happen to him.
Then your #3 guy or gal, say Rand Paul or Kari Lake, then the Feds will go after them too.
Wake up.
The DOJ won’t have the money to keep the lights on if Republicans win big on Tuesday.
Yep. Good reduction of chatter into stark reality.
How in the world did we get to this point? They do not like Trump playing in their sandbox and threatening their power, so they are threatening him with more investigations for simply considering running again for President. What would THIS special counsel be predicated upon?
From them perhaps.
“DOJ seeks to avoid the appearance of partisan political activity....”
Appearance? Heck, they do it out in the open! They certainly are not avoiding the appearance of being politically biased. It’s obvious Trump was getting too close to something big. Probably bigger than we can even imagine.
Our GOP are either complicit or just happen that they are considered small fish as long as the DOJ has Trump to pursue. Our Courts are just as corrupt or too scared of the media to do the right thing. I guess it’s on us folks. If you haven’t voted, do so on Monday or Tuesday. And, pray that the Lord has his hand on this nation and the fraudsters are thrwarted in their fraud efforts.
Sounds like extortion and racketeering.
Exactly.
Thanks.
I’m certain DJT knew the Swamp was nasty and big but I don’t think he had any idea how big or how evil it is. I don’t think any of us imagined it was as bad as we’ve now seen.
For their part, the Swamp’s, I don’t think they believed that anyone existed who could survive the kinds of attacks they brought against him.
I don’t think either side will make those mistakes again.
Impeach Garfinkel.
It is odd. Great point!
Pence….traitorous, evil Benedict Arnold, of our time.
Sounds like extortion and racketeering.
Sure does.
