Will Trump special prosecutor backfire on Democrats? Some think so, and here's why

Many in traditional news media have suggested the Biden Justice Department's appointment of Special Counsel Jack Smith to investigate Donald Trump is an ominous sign for the former president. But famed television journalist and best-selling author Bill O'Reilly has a different take, predicting it will boomerang on Democrats.

O'Reilly told the "Just the News, Not Noise" television show that Attorney General Merrick Garland's appointee will have to probe what the FBI knew in advance of the Jan. 6 riot, whether law enforcement could have done more to prevent the tragedy, and why a reported eight bureau assets were embedded among the protesters who went to the Capitol that day. Those are all issues the Democrat-led House Committee on Jan. 6 failed to address.

Garland's appointment of another special counsel to investigate Trump is "a drastic mistake," warned O'Reilly.

"In order for [Jack Smith] to investigate what Trump did or did not do on Jan. 6, he has to get into the FBI and what the FBI did or did not do," O'Reilly explained in a wide-ranging interview Tuesday night. "He has to. He can't bury it."

Noting that the New York Times reported that "there were at least eight FBI agents embedded in the most virulent protesters that day," the former longtime anchor of Fox News Channel's prime-time ratings hit "The O'Reilly Factor" said: "They were there. The FBI was there. Well, what the deuce were they doing?"

That very issue came up at a recent House committee hearing during questioning of FBI Director Christopher Wray, who pointedly refused to answer whether FBI assets were dressed in pro-Trump garb at the Capitol when the riots occurred but adamantly denied any FBI personnel instigated the attacks that day.

Attorney General Merrick Garland's appointee will have to probe what the FBI knew in advance of the Jan. 6 riot...

I think the author of the article really meant "should" instead of "will have to". And Dems and RINOs are not likely to be impressed by "should."

Very little backfires on the Democrats because they are currently the only team on the field competing. The GOP is still in the locker room trying to find their jock straps.

The GOP are the RAT team's water boys

While they can defund the SP, I’d be surprised if they did.

Speaking of Special Prosecutors, what’s junkyard dog John Durham up to these days?

That's because Mueller himself was a figurehead lending his name for credibility. He was going senile and knew very little about what was going on in his name.

This is the precise reasoning Sean Hannity used with Mueller - but Mueller just said - Not my purview, don’t know anything about it.

O’Reilly seems to think they are going to work as homest brokers to find the Truth.

Come on, O’Reilly’s reasoning doesn’t hold up even a little bit.

In Hillary’s case four of the Prime Witnesses’ interviews weren’t documented - as required - Barr and the whole lot said, doesn’t matter.
