Looks like the high & mighty Jack Smith is headed for an enormous ker-plop into the judicial muck he's been proudly riding in.

[Mariner]

This is nonsense.

The AG can hire a lawyer and have him work under the auspices of the DOJ without POTUS appointment or Congressional approval.

He’s simply a prosecutor.

[drjimmy]

This is HUGH!

[struggle]

Nah, Garland can hire a counsel (like Mueller) or a prosecutor under another AG, but not proving prosecutor.

HUGE: New Supreme Court Filing Seeks To Strip Jack Smith Of Authority

Supreme Court filings are not huge. Supreme Court rulings are and that's a long ways from happening.

Some may take umbrage at the Taylor Swift comparison.....but I digress

[jjotto]

The referenced “law” is in the CFR, stuff made up within the bureaucracy which may or may not be enforced. Ample precedent for past special counsels appointed the same way.

Actionable law is in the US Code, not in the Code of Federal Regulations unless authorized by Congress.

[Sacajaweau]

We knw about this when the alleged appointment occurred...and they let it ride...Is it all about timing...and hsnging him high, i.e., let him do this and that and be in violation may make all his actions criminal. Don’t know. Just pondering.

[cuz1961]

what authority ?

he doesnt have any

thats the whole freaking point !!!!

he is one of too many rogues.

Works for me. I think Jack Smith is a political hack.

In order to prosecute Nixon they needed someone not under the control of the Nixon administration, so the position of special prosecutor was created. Since Trump isn’t being investigated by his own administration, why appoint a special prosecutor?

[DJ Frisat]

Well, I’m not going to argue the fine points because — I just don’t know.

But I’m willing to predict that, if SCOTUS takes up the case and it’s looking bad for Smith because of some of the issues strewn about in the article under discussion, we can count on Roberts to shine a light on what they have to do to fix it up so that the perse/prose-cutions can continue.

Finally, a well written brief that may (however remotely) be helpful to Trump. Of course the brief wasn’t drafted or submitted by Trump’s attorneys .

[devane617]

Another move on article.

If this is successful the REEEEEing from our Left will be a beautiful thing to watch.

Can you believe all the constitutional FRawyers here!

Those filing the case with SCOTUS are certainly bright and knowledgeable of the law, and I would trust what they say to be so.

My only question is, why has it taken this long????
