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.

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

Not if we win the House and Senate in November. We’ll recuse Merry Garland’s ass back to the old folk’s home.

The Swamp has never feared a man more than they fear President Trump. For this reason alone every Patriotic American who reveres our Constitutional Republic should support this man with every ounce of their ability.

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

The plan is to keep Trump from qualifying as a candidate or at the very least, erode his base of support with a long trumped-up investigation/indictment/show trial extending into the 2024 primary season.

Causing voters to shy away from supporting Trump while being entangled in legal jeopardy. Just a thought or two or three. lol

Them firing up the coup/impeachment assembly line again was a given. This would be the first unit off the new line.

I like Powerline blog, But Hinderacker is wrong on this one. For some reason John does not like Trump, despite admitting he was the best since Reagan. John subbed for Dennis Praeger today, not well done John, sorry to say that. Lost your connection to Tom Cotton only showed you are not a good standby for Dennis. It was probably technical issues with you in Minnesota and Dennis’ home station in Glendale, CA. Still, your beef with Trump is unwarranted. Glad that clown Mirrengoff is gone, but never donating to you again.

Well why wait? If you have something actionable, let's hear it. Tomorrow.

Cowards.
