DOJ mulls special counsel investigation should Trump run again

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.

Making populism great again is a direct threat to the ruling class/oligarchy(deep state)that has been plundering this country's wealth/soul over the last 70 years.

Whatever Trump DIDN'T know about them, and what they are capable of...during his first term?

...he certainly knows about them now.

It will not be easy to remove these parasites from power, let alone....hold them accountable for the damage they've done to this country.

Unfortunately, most of these cretins will not receive TRUE judgement, until AFTER they take their last breath.

When President Trump runs, and wins, I want him to go full “scorched earth” on these Commies.

Amen to that.

“When President Trump runs, and wins...]

I read a compendium piece today on Twitter employees lamenting being “Thanos-snapped” out of existence. Ahhh, the parallels.

We’ll recuse Merry Garland’s ass back to the old folk’s home.

I don't think Biden will sh**can Garland unless there is a massive public movement to do so. And even then, assistant AG is Monaco.

“How in the world did we get to this point?”

Our Congress has delegated control of our government to an unelected bureaucracy of overlords beyond our reach through elections.

What we are witnessing is their immune-response to the mass public awakening to their treachery that is now a virus upon our nation, and our collective will to cure what we see.

>>Trump’s base of support will never be eroded<<
Then you don’t understand the short-term memory of the American electorate.

I for one and probably the only one currently (lol) that believes Trump will not be the nominee in 2024.

These people are playing for keeps. Trump knows too many secrets. Knows the corruption that permeates D.C... In essence, the man that knows too much.

They cannot allow him back in their sandbox.

Trump was/is merely OUR vehicle for change. You are 100% correct. This is an attack on us. No matter our avenue for change, no matter who steps up to the plate. That is unless they’re willing to play by the rules of the D.C. sandbox.

Hint hint...Bush, Romney, Murkowski, McCain, McConnell, McCarthy, Ryan, Cantor, Boehner, Cheney and the like. All republicans playing by the rules.

I remember when Bonzo and the RATs made a big stink over not being allowed to put Merry on the Supreme Court although he has done miracles and can walk on water. According to the extreme far-leftwingnut “media”, Merry was the perfect Homo Sapien. From what I’ve seen so far, he’s a weasel doing the biding of his masters down at the DNC. Right now, he’s waiting for the go ahead to indict President Trump after the election. The only reason they haven’t done it before now is because they don’t want to piss off the voters.

Just stop funding them. Appropriate nothing. Nothing for staff salaries and nothing for operations. You must pass an appropriation with zero dollars.

The Communist Purge Continues To Grow Exponentially & Nothing Is Being Done About It!

”In your face” is our communist masters' favorite tool to rattle the chains of tyranny that they have wrapped around our necks...

No Big Deal!
Our communist masters know that the pathetically servile and indolent Aamerican people will just continue to roll over and spread their collective cheeks...

I don’t see any reason to believe that McConnel not allowing confirmation for Garland was either illegal or unconstitutional. I guess Schumer didn’t do the same to Amy Coney Barrett because he didn’t have a senate majority in 2020.

The cycle has to be broken. Have been watching public figures and private citizens marched into the abyss of illegal searches, seizures and surveillance, denials of and end runs around established due processes, ignoring Constitutional and statutory law, biased extra legal investigation processes and stacked courts. With each victim, the tyrants and their stooges get a little more confident, a little more bolder. If this trajectory continues, the decision will eventually be made by gutsy people prepared to not submit to any demands, not cooperate at any level. When people come to judge that the system is so corrupt and so rigged that they're not going to get a fair shake no matter what, maybe not even survive the ordeal, is when that decision is made to not submit and get swallowed by it, to resist instead. People organizing their own infrastructures to evade government interferences and private security forces to contest and repel seizures and kidnappings by rivals is the stuff of Third World nations and fallen societies. And that's where all the criminal outrages are steadily dragging us to.

Trump needs to declare next Wednesday morning, before these schitheels start this whole process. Let’s see if they have the cajones to investigate a declared candidate in the face of an electorate that just tossed their ass out of legislative power - because doing so to Brandon wasn’t permitted, no matter what information came out during the election process.
