Almost like it was pre planned huh? What a disgrace this “governing body” has become. Self enrichment is THE ONLY reason to hold office anymore.

“An individual named as Special Counsel shall be a lawyer with a reputation for integrity and impartial decisionmaking, and with appropriate experience to ensure both that the investigation will be conducted ably, expeditiously and thoroughly, and that investigative and prosecutorial decisions will be supported by an informed understanding of the criminal law and Department of Justice policies. The Special Counsel shall be selected from outside the United States Government.”

Laws created by democrats were never meant to be applied to democrats.

This is called lawfare and is a form of warfare. It is the democrat party’s favorite weapon in the ongoing CWII.

Considering Jack Smiths previous reversal by the USSC he also does not qualify. He is known for being a shady character.

You quoted a FEDERAL REGULATION (CFR).

It’s not law.

“An individual named as Special Counsel shall be a lawyer with a reputation for integrity and impartial decision making.”

This line alone disqualifies the appointment... Conflict of interest.

Doesn’t the Special Counsel need funding?

If so, where do they get it?

What do laws, regulations and justice have any force when a dictatorship (Oligarchy to be precise) is in near total control?

What do rules, laws, the Constitution matter when you have a higher purpose of preventing DJT and conservatives from having further influence in the People’s Government?

So it has no weight in a Federal Court of Law?

“CFR” stands for “Code of Federal Regulations.” It was never passed by Congress. It’s not a law. It’s a regulation established within the DOJ and can be freely ignored in any matter like this that is entirely within the DOJ.

From up the thread, there’s a pdf of Barr’s appoint of Durham. Durham omits reference 600.3 and begins his authorization at 600.4. Can Barr be prosecuted?

Is it normal for a lawyer to ask to be the special counsel? It seems odd to me, but I’m not familiar with legal proceedings (blessedly).

It’s an illegitimate approval with no force of law. Congress should request the Supreme Court to weigh in or at least this should be challenged in Federal Court.

Yes,if you going to actually do the job of investigating. But the main purpose of this is to outflank the Congress. They announced they were considering calling Hunter to testify. The next day a special counsel is appointed. Now he doesn't have to answer questions because he is currently under "investigation"
