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.

Of course not. He failed the first time around. They will pick a fair nonpartisan. I predict Eric Holder.

What I find kind of ironic about your statement is that the DOJ/FBI bullsh!t we’ve seen with Trump in recent months was another big factor in my assessment that Ron DeSantis should never be elected President. After the Mar-A-Lago raid I decided that I will never vote for a lawyer for president.

Trump was beaten by the onslaught.

Trump is still standing tall. Pence's political career is deader than a snitches finger in a MacDonald's fryolator.

Time for a better man.

There is none.

“And you supported an open borders globalist who looted the American treasure, didn’t ya TexasTrumpHater?”

When you can’t argue the facts you resort to lying and name calling.

Grow up.

So the dumbs lose the house and now a special counsel is needed? Were a real legal mind appointed, it would take them nanoseconds to determine Trump was impeached for what ever he may or may not have done as president, not once but twice and acquitted both times.

“Answer the question slick.”

Your post was rhetoric.

—————rhetoric-—————

language designed to have a persuasive or impressive effect on its audience, but often regarded as lacking in sincerity or meaningful content:

Yer Welcome

Always happy to help with educational info

Like a reference to one of Garfinkel's political predecessors, the Communist Mass Murderer Genrikh Yagoda,

Strong family resemblance, huh?

Yes.

Trump is more conservative than DeSantis too.

He also fights.

Garland is a ferret faced Himmler wannabe. All that is missing is the Totenkopf and Sam Browne belt

"...can’t find any real negatives about DeSantis."

There is trend among some Trump-or-die folks which is very unhealthy personally and politically. They accuse him of future sins. Ron, they say, MUST be planning to be bad because Paul Ryan hearts him. Or something. Yet we have history to show Trump already loving up with Ryan - TrumpRyanCare. And with McCarthy now.

Trump is a populist. DeSavage, from the start of his political career, has been a Freedom guy. Founding member of the HFC. The group that saved us from TrumpRyanCare.

I do believe Big Ron's treasure chest benefits from Trump's high negatives. That is the nature of politics. Just like Trump driving sky high Dem turn-out, he also drives high funding for non-Trump candidates.

It is no crime for Ron to benefit from the political gravity of donation flows.

It is unlikely Don or any other politician would turn down the money going to Ron.
