Garland Illegally Appointed Weiss as Special Counsel
Gatestone Institute ^ | 8/16/23 | Alan M. Dershowitz

Posted on 08/16/2023 2:22:30 AM PDT by spirited irish

"The special counsel shall be selected from outside the United States government." — Code of Federal Regulations, Title 28, Chapter VI, § 600.3(c). [Emphasis added]

This requirement is the law. The regulations were authorized by Congress under 5 U.S.C. 301, 509, 510, 515-519.

The attorney general is the chief law enforcement officer of the United States. It is certainly expected that he would obey the law in its entirety.

Garland is a dork and political tool of the Democrats. He’s like any Soviet provocateurs, doing what the Stalinist state orders/wants him to do. Siberia was full of their fake criminal charges.

Garland could not care less. He’ll do whatever he thinks he can get away with.

Republicucks will do nothing.

This won’t satisfy the need for a special counsel… Garland obviously said a special counsel is necessary… so sometime in the future we will have one - a real one… appointed by a non communist president.

This move points to them really being backed into a corner. It’s a move for momentary survival.

Hmmm,mm

There is at least one lawyer on FR who has posted that the CFR is not binding law, but rather a set of guidelines that can be overlooked.

I would imagine that Trump would be filing a lawsuit against Jack Smith if this was really firm law.

Why is there nothing being done by this congress? These corrupt bastards should already be removed from office and placed in jail.

FTA———It is within the powers of Congress to summon Garland and ask him to explain why he believes he is justified in ignoring a federal regulation that seems to limit his authority to appoint special counsels.

Garland’s end game is to get on the Supreme Court when the Dems own the House and Senate which he is working overtime to create.
