The U.S. attorney general and FBI director, as well as all their D.C. staff, must recuse themselves from every investigation into Trump’s assassination attempt.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The White House, Congress, and FBI immediately announced investigations into how a 20-year-old who couldn’t make his high school gun team nearly killed the former and potentially future leader of the free world Saturday. In a city as corrupt as Washington, D.C., “investigation” is politico-speak for “cover-up.”

That goes double for Merrick Garland or Chris Wray, the heads of the DOJ and FBI, respectively. Any investigation into this assassination attempt from which they do not recuse themselves is irrevocably poisoned. In fact, any involvement even from their headquarters and D.C. offices is a sure sign the investigations are cover-ups. It’s not even clear that field offices are credible investigators. The best option would be a genuinely independent commission or special prosecutor.

Here’s just a short recounting of the voluminous evidence showing that these men and their D.C. fiefdoms are rife with corruption and anti-Donald-Trump animus — as well as patent incompetence — to such a level that it has already repeatedly caused them to use their incredible federal powers for political snuffouts.

Merrick Garland’s Long Trump-Persecution Rap Sheet

Trump’s election in 2016 is the reason U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland is not a justice voting on the U.S. Supreme Court for life. In fact, scuttling Garland’s nomination may have won Trump the presidency, as it allowed him to promise a better justice to voters. Those are some pretty sour grapes, and Garland has obviously drunk them repeatedly.

Garland personally authorized FBI agents dressed in street clothes to perform the same maneuver the assassin attempted against Trump Saturday: to shoot to kill Trump, should he interfere with their unprecedented raid on a cooperating former president’s home...

No such thing exists.

[Henchster]

Exactly. You can’t have the prime suspects investigating themselves.

[rolling_stone]

Loke the Warren report????lol.

[wny]

In 8 months or so, the Trump DOJ can investigate the assassination attempt and the coverup.

[Presbyterian Reporter]

I would recommend that Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro be co-chairs of this investigation committee. They would get to the bottom is this SS mess in 2 days.

[bigbob]

“Must”…hahhah

[SisterK]

I heartily agree
it is like the fox guarding the hen house

The 47th President absolutely need military tribunals. The Dept of Justice will be of no use to him at all.

The days of the federal government “investigating” the federal government must be ended. A private investigatory organization, perhaps composed of retired, decorated law enforcement officers with NO political affiliation would be a sensible idea.

[Bob Wills is still the king]

Perhaps you can share how that would happen, given that there is nothing in our Constitution or laws outside of actual martial law to accomplish it. Martial law can only be invoked in the district where civil authorities are unable to discharge their legal duties.

Military tribunals are some kind of fever dream here.

The fox is in charge of finding out what happened to the hen

[drypowder]

Recuse?! Nice try. How else will they cover their involvement then? Ain’t gonna and never will happen.

[grumpygresh]

Why couldn’t the House a run the investigation?

[TChad]

The fox is in charge of finding out what happened to the hen

And blaming it on the hen.

[Cen-Tejas]

Joy Pullmann nails it!

The FBI should not be allowed to investigate anything other than a car wreck with no injuries. Plus, no pistols or badges. They might accidentally shoot somebody.

[suthener]

Here’s where we are as a country; today I asked a guy I talk to periodically at the gym what government agency did he think tried to kill Trump. He immediately said, “The FBI”. His answer wasn’t important, it’s the fact that he did not hesitate to answer, or ask what kind of question was that. It’s seems everybody knows this was an attempted government hit, and no one is surprised.

[Jane Long]

AGREE!!

Get this to Sneaker Johnson, stat!

[sjmjax]

Yeah, all findings sealed for 50 years! Then extended indefinitely.
