Is Special Counsel Jack Smith's office Constitutional? Unlike U.S. Attorneys, he wasn't appointed by the President and wasn't confirmed by the Senate.
Congress never even authorized a Special Counsel office to exist. We shouldn’t pretend this position is legal or independent.

Meese and Mukasey mentioned it in support of the immunity case. It was not part of the appeal on Presidential immunity because it was mentioned in a different filing, but Trump's lawyers told Thomas they fully agreed with Meese and Mukasey.
They didn’t forget. They included it in the appropriate case.
Nothing happens? You and they find out what is going on despite efforts to hide it.
They are not the executive branch. They don’t even control both houses of congress.
I just though it should be known that Thomas Massie is not the only person who has raised this issue.
Some of these congress critters are finally getting up off their asses and representin’ for a change!
Sadly you are correct, but that had better change because it will filter down to them at some point in time. Some of those cheering now because it is happening to Trump, may rue that when it filters down to them personally.
“An ignorant comment, but not unexpected”
What’s ignorant about it? I just don’t know. Perhaps those people mentioned in post 14 weren’t actually representing Trump.
Where's some action to go with it?
So please, point out what was incorrect about what I wrote in that response. Or are you just bloviating.
What’s ignorant about it? While factual, it doesn’t meet your narrative?
Simply stated, absolutely nothing will happen to abhorrent creatures as long as the Democrats control the Senate.
Regardless of whether DJT wins a landslide victory against FJB, as long as the Senate is controlled by the Democrats they will prevent any investigations from occurring and changes PROPOSED by the HoR (assuming it is still in Republican control) from ever making it to the desk of the POTUS.
We have been and continue to be screwed . . .
The function of news media is to inform, but it’s used to hide things as well. How often has it been reported that Vladimir Putin has endorsed Joe Biden in the 2024 election? Correct there is no Constitutional provision of “special council.” Smith wasn’t nominated by President or confirmed by the Senate. It’a not possible for AG to create an office with more powers than he has himself
Please check your freepmail. Thanks!
Did, & responded.
It took them this long to ask. 🙄
Judge Cannon as of TODAY has agreed to expand the case into the legality of Jack Smith’s position requested by the Trump attorneys!!!
My understanding is that privately they are also afraid of the 3 letter agencies coming after them.
Now the Supreme Court needs to find the courage that Judge Cannon has shown. Very disappointed in them to be quite honest.
“Our regime leader Pedo Joe Biden is ignoring a SCOTUS ruling which says he has NO authority to cancel private debt instruments (loan contracts) and pay off student loans from public debt (i.e. - taxpayer money), thereby willfully violating the Constitution and his oath of office.
Yet Thomas Massie expects him and his lackeys in DoJ to follow the law?
This isn’t Kabuki theater, it’s Kafkaesque, theater of the absurd.”
Exactly. This administration DOESN’T FOLLOW THE RULE OF LAW OR THE REPUBLIC. They call it “Democracy”, very similar to the Democracy that Mussolini and Hitler had..
