U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland will appoint a special counsel to determine whether criminal charges should be filed against former President Donald Trump in connection with two pending investigations, according to reports Friday.
News of the planned appointment of the special counsel, which was reported by The Wall Street Journal, came three days after Trump announced plans to run for president in 2024. The Republican faces multiple criminal investigations.
NBC News reported that the special counsel, whose name has not been announced, will make decisions for two Department of Justice investigations of Trump.
One is focused on whether Trump broke the law and obstructed justice in connection with his removal of hundreds of documents from the White House, which were shipped to his residence at Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida. The other probe is related to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot by a mob of Trump supporters.
Do you have the link to a source that quotes him as saying that to her?
>>DeSantis doesn’t try to draw big crowds. He does, however, draw voters.<<
He will have to appeal to a wide electorate across the country which until now has not had to do.
>>Trump has proven that drawing crowds is not a guaranteed win.<< TG, come on. You know and I know Trump’s defeat was the result of massive cheating. Biden drew more votes than Obama? 81 million? Uh yea...no!
>>DeSantis has proven that you do not need to draw big crowds to win BIG.<< I’m not one of these Trump cultist. In fact, I did not vote for Trump in the primaries. Ted Cruz was my guy. You know, lyin Ted. lol
If there is a healthy primary with DeSantis and Trump, I would likely vote for DeSantis. That said, if Trump won, I’d support him with no reservations.
Bless your heart.
Think about it. The DOJ was at the point where they were going to have to make the decision to indict, or not, on the Mara Lago fiasco and the J6 committee has found nothing to tie Trump to “insurrection” so this was going to be exposed by the Reps when they take over and release the depositions showing that the committee has been cherry picking the depos. The Special Counsel allows the DOJ to ignore the lack of evidence so far and drag this out for 2 years in order to affect the 2024 election.
Wow, how did you find out about Hopkins?
“Little is known of Hopkins before 1644, but apparently he had been a lawyer, practicing in Essex. In March 1644 he alleged his first discovery of witches—six of them, in Manningtree, who he claimed tried to kill him. He thereupon became a “Witch Finder Generall,” going about Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk, and Huntingdon getting villagers and townspeople to hire him and his two assistants (for a fee) to search out witches, force their confessions, and have them hanged by the authorities. Between 1644 and 1647 the hapless victims (including a few Anglican clergymen) numbered perhaps 230 or more.”
What a “profession”!
