Attorney General Merrick Garland has just announced the appointment of special counsel Jack Smith.
But Smith's team will not look into the Biden family quid pro quo syndicate nor its incriminating confessionals on Hunter Biden's laptop.
Instead, it will further investigate Donald Trump's possession of presidential records that were hauled off from Mar-a-Lago, as well as his purported role in the January 6 "insurrection."
We know the script that will follow because we suffered through it for 22 months and spent $40 million for it under Robert Mueller's special counsel team.
First, the Smith investigation will bear no resemblance to special counsel John Durham's probes. The media ignored Durham. His team did not leak to the press. And neither a Washington, D.C. nor northern Virginia jury was ever likely to convict any perceived enemy of Trump.
Second, upon the announcement of Smith's legal staffers, the media will grow giddy that their resumes portend another "dream team," "all-stars," or "a hunter-killer team."
Puff pieces will blanket the media. They will attest, just like "good Ol' Bob Mueller," that the former Obama Justice Department public integrity unit lawyer Smith is "an old hand," "tough but fair," "nonpartisan," and a "prosecutor's prosecutor."
Weeks into the investigation, the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, or MSNBC will darkly inform their audiences that "unnamed sources close to the investigation tell us that "a bombshell" is about to go off.
Perhaps the "stunning development" will be similar to the fake "walls are closing in" scoop about the conspiratorial pinging in Trump tower from the Alfa Bank in Russia, or the "game-changer" Christopher Steele-fed, pee-pee, Moscow hotel room fable.
Yet one thing that will be different this time around is that the Biden administration is in power. Garland remains an unapologetic, embittered partisan.

That's yet another phase of the Democrat/RINO Uniparty's endless investigations of the hugely successful & hugely popular President Trump 24/7/365 ..........
As the article title said, same-o, same-o ......
Oh yeah, John Durham...Mr. Tuff Guy who was gonna get to the bottom of the whole deal.
Forgot about him.
Guess that’s the way he wanted it.
We will again suffer through early voting, mail-in voting, ranked-choice voting, and majority-only voting. The more who vote, the more we will be warned of "voter suppression" and "election deniers."
"Get out the vote" left-wing, electronically fueled projects like this year's "Mind the Gap" involving Sam Bankman-Fried's family, or Mark Zuckerberg's 2020 $419 million de facto absorption of balloting collection in key precincts, will merely be replaced by new names.
There will also be more post-election, November surprises -- like the mysteriously sudden discovery just days after the voting that Sam Bankman-Fried was a multibillion-dollar con artist and huge Democratic Party donor, and the appointment of special counsel to investigate Trump.
Who would have known that prior to November 8, Trump's Mar-a-Lago presidential papers proved neither "nuclear secrets" nor designed for his personal sale after all?

Those of us that are old enough have seen this show before. It was called "The Fugitive." It was a TV show in the 1960's and a movie in the 1990's. In the TV show, the police almost caught Dr. Richard Kimble often, but he always escaped to the next episode.
In the Trump remake, usually reliable anonymous sources close to the investigation tell us an indictment is imminent. The walls are closing in. Then it doesn't happen, and Trump escapes for the next episode.
If they had anything that was real admissible evidence, they would have indicted Trump already. Since they haven't, this special counsel investigation, like the last one, is all about the leaks. Trump has to continue to escape to keep the show going.
Maybe in early 2024, too late to come to trial before the election, there will be an indictment on Trumped up charges, like the final episode where Dr. Richard Kimble finds the one armed man that killed his wife. Stay tuned. The walls are closing in!

Same old play. Meritless Garland goes to the Garbage Can of Humanity and selects John Smith as Special Prosecutor. John Smith returns to the Garbage Can of Humanity and selects fellow garbage Andrew Weissmann, etc. to perform their Mueller-esk fake investigation complete with strategic leaks and misinformation.
