Attorney General Merrick Garland to name special counsel in Trump criminal probe, report says
cnbc ^

Posted on 11/18/2022 10:49:44 AM PST by janetjanet998

U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland will appoint a special counsel to determine whether criminal charges should be filed against former President Donald Trump in connection with two pending investigations, according to reports Friday.

News of the planned appointment of the special counsel, which was reported by The Wall Street Journal, came three days after Trump announced plans to run for president in 2024. The Republican faces multiple criminal investigations.

NBC News reported that the special counsel, whose name has not been announced, will make decisions for two Department of Justice investigations of Trump.

One is focused on whether Trump broke the law and obstructed justice in connection with his removal of hundreds of documents from the White House, which were shipped to his residence at Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida. The other probe is related to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot by a mob of Trump supporters.

Of course he will.

See, THIS is the kind of stuff that makes me support Trump all the more.

I don’t see filthy vermin like garland going after DeSantis.

I love DeSantis, but he doesn’t evoke the blood-hate from the globalists that Trump does.

By my reckoning, there’s a reason for that, and that’s why I will support Trump over any and all contenders.

I’m sure whoever it is will be fully impartial and non-biased.

Like Himmler.

Russian collision, impeachments, Chinese billionaires doing PR for DeSantis, and now Garland doing the same.

What a bunch of hooey. As if we don’t know the results of this consideration. Trump is too dangerous for the DeepState to let him walk free. Trump needs to consider just how corrupt and desperate these people are and watch his back.

Mary Garland is a classic example of a woman scorened, acting out and seeking revenge on the men who she believes have brought her misery.

The Republican Presidential Nominee should make Garland's Stasi-like behavior part of a relentless ad campaign, splaying all of her vindictive actions across the screen.

The ending shot, should be Mary taking a seat on SCOTUS if a Dem is elected President.

Just like the Mueller investigation, this is planned to take two years into next election, will be filled with manufactured and salacious leaked side “facts,” designed to manufacture media outrage and biased headlines.

I can see it now: “Trump campaign shadowed by DOJ investigaion!”

when they need a crescendo, they will televise some public hearings, with scenes of Congressmen shouting at each other or Trump’s laywers.

The point will again be driven home - SEE HOW BAD ORANGE MAN IS?

Ever-Trumpers are always contradicting themselves.

Trump’s recent antics really put me off. But this puts me off even more.

GD Commie.
