And more the BS that "Garland sought to avoid a conflict of interest". To avoid a conflict of interest the DOJ should have given Trump every favorable advantage they gave to Hillary, Obama, and Biden's classified documents cases.
Trump can pardon himself and all Of Jack Smith’s other victims and then fire Jack Smith on the first day. The President is the executive, full stop.
Jack Smith has no authority.
Firing Smith is risky.....
Remember the Saturday Night Massacre....
During a single evening on Saturday, October 20, Nixon ordered Attorney General Elliot Richardson to fire Archibald Cox; Richardson refused and resigned effective immediately. Nixon then ordered Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus to fire Cox; Ruckelshaus refused, and also resigned.
He can fire the entire executive branch if he wants.
Let’s focus on winning. This confrontation can wait.
Eleventh Circuit’s Ruling on Aileen Cannon Decision: What to Know
Trump appointee Cannon dismissed the charges against the former president and ruled that Smith had been illegally appointed. Smith is now appealing that decision to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.
He also needs to see if he was lawfully appointed!
There was a federal court ruling that seems to indicate he wasn’t. If that’s the case every action take by Smith and crew after that ruling is potentially in legal jeopardy.
Federal prison and fined to recover ALL monies he has spent and received in his non legal lawfair against president Trump.
My guess is Smith will resign on 11/6 if Trump wins the election. He will be getting the hell out of Dodge.
If Jack Smith wasn’t properly hired as in being confirmed by the Senate, remove him on that basis. Easy peasy.
Smith’s illegally appointed anyway so his days are numbered.
Trump’s real problem will be choosing an AG who will fire Smith.
The first AG he picked, Sessions, folded like a cheap suit, recused himself from the Russia! Russia! investigation, and was basically worthless.
Trump’s second pick, Bob Barr, well we all know that story...
Fire Jack Smith? No! I have the answer:
Somebody get a rope!
Wasn’t there something ‘hinky’ about how Smith was hired in the first place?
“if the Justice Department is not prosecuting Trump directly, then it does not look as if the Biden administration is persecuting Trump.”
Oh, so it does not “look” like the Biden Admin is persecuting Trump. Wink, Wink, Nudge, Nudge, say no more!
If I recall correctly, the Clintons fired the whole Justice Department when they took office. I could be wrong it has been a long time ago and I am old.
The biggest lie is that Garland was trying to “avoid a conflict of interest”.
You don’t do that by appointing an extremist Democrat to prosecute your opponent.
proper use of independent counsels is to investigate your own side.
