Attorney General Merrick Garland to name special counsel in Trump criminal probe, report says
cnbc ^

Posted on 11/18/2022 10:49:44 AM PST by janetjanet998

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.

Next time with a different AG we can target Garland and Biden too. Easy peasy.

The deep state took out Trump. Time to pick a stronger candidate.

Not many are going to be able to take that kind of punishment. I like DeSantis but I think he’s one of those elite types who likely strolled down ease street most of his life. He wont have the fortitude to take the onslaught Trump has seen.

Trump is the only one I know of that can take all the punches. Trump deserves one more crack at the White House.

“Do they see Desantis as such a threat?”

Yes!!!

“He better get in the game if he wants to be taken seriously.”

No one is in the game more than DeSantis. And people already take him very seriously.

He’s not a Nazi.

He’s a damn Communist just like his family was back in the Pale of Settlement.

Who do you think created all that crap in Eastern Europe? Lutherans?

He’s a Red Diaper Baby, two steps out of the October Revolution. And those people made the SS look like pikers: 20 million dead from their monstrosities within 25 years.

—————REALLY?——————

DeSantis’s mother was a nurse and his father installed Nielsen TV rating boxes.[

Why would Trump appoint a communist?

Hi is odd, Garland looked and acted like he had a gun to his back during the whole time he read that.

I do agree with others that it would have had a more truthful ring to the “announcement” if he had done it with a German accent.
