AG Garland appoints special counsel in Biden documents probe

[iluvtennis]

Don't forget to let any MAGAts who ask about the two document situations that:
tfg took over 18 months and search warrant issues to get the documents back
Biden attorney turned over the documents immediately when they were discovered

I'm glad that AG Garland did this -- that way the rethugs can't come out and claim DOJ is biased and only persecuting tfg

1. I was repeatedly called a liar last night

because I posted a story saying that Garland was considering doing just this.

Folks, if you don't like a story, it's not the fault of the person who posted it.

6. I had a post removed for saying this

will dump cold water on trumps case. They probably assumed that I liked or wanted that. I fucking don't. This is how donny dumbshit will skate, bothsiderism! The media will run with this crap for the next month.

This is the worst situation and timing we needed at this time.

8. Yeah, it really sucks

2. Also -- is there any indication that either one sold the secrets to foreign governments?

Because what was that $2 billion for that the Saudi's paid Jared Kushner, anyways? Was it just a little gift, some 'walkin' around' money for the tRumps?

4. would think this is a question for the special counsel/team. In my opionion, tfg likely sold

docs to our adversaries.

No way did Biden sell anything. I thinbk it was just an honest mistake that the documents were at the office.

3. I have no issues with Merrick Garland's appointment of a special counsel

However, I wonder why he picked a Trump US Attorney appointee and a former clerk for SCOTUS Chief Justice Rehnquist.

Surely, he could have found someone more independent than this.

5. I do, it smacks of political pressure especially done so quickly.

7. Spoiler alert: "Rethugs will come out and claim DOJ is biased and only...

...persecuting tfg" anyway, as they already have done before this and will continue to do regardless of how this all ultimately ends up.

How about we stop doing shit based on Republican outrage? Republicans will always be outraged. Do the right thing. Why did Biden not get the benefit of the doubt that was given to Trump for WELL OVER A YEAR?

9. + agree. And dontcha know there is no benefit of the doubt for Dems. (sarcasm) n/t

[iemanja]

10. Exactly!
