AG Merrick Garland Appoints Special Counsel To Conduct Criminal Probe Of Former President Donald Trump’s Handling Of Classified Documents

November 19, 2022 admin News 0

Attorney General Merrick Garland on Friday named a special counsel to oversee the criminal probe of Donald Trump’s possible mishandling of classified documents at his Florida home and key aspects of the sprawling Jan. 6 case, acknowledging the political sensitivity of investigating a former president who is again seeking office.

For the past 6 years, the Democrats have used the Senate as well as the Congress as their own personal police force in an attempt to stop Donald Trump on whatever level they can stop him on. Their abuse of their own power is at once egregious and sickening, and I believe is in itself a crime on multiple levels. But what happened yesterday goes far beyond partisan politics, now the Department of Justice has stepped in with the appointment of a special counsel to see about putting Trump behind bars. Now it’s serious, with real prosecutors instead of fake politicians.

“For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:” Romans 13:3 (KJB)

One reason why the Congress and Senate don’t spend a lot of time investigating each other is because the vast majority of them are guilty of something. Politics as practised in America in 2022 is like a Roman circus, complete with the Temple prostitutes who will do anything to retain power. Joe Biden infamously called himself a prostitute for political power back in 1974. But I digress. Is the latest move against Donald Trump politically motivated? It sure is. But will the investigation show criminal activity was performed? It just might. America is at the end of her rope, having rejected God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Bible, there is really nothing left but judgment. That’s where we are right now.

Garland names special counsel for Trump Mar-a-Lago, 2020 election probes

FROM MSN: The appointment of Jack Smith, a longtime federal prosecutor who has in recent years been working at the International Criminal Court at The Hague, comes three days after Trump formally declared himself a candidate for president.

Garland said “extraordinary circumstances” — namely Trump’s candidacy and President Biden’s stated intention to run for reelection — necessitated the appointment of an independent prosecutor to oversee the investigations, which are focused on alleged high-level breaches of national security and could place Trump in legal peril unprecedented for a one-time commander in chief.

“Based on recent developments, including the former president’s announcement that he is a candidate for president in the next election, and the sitting president’s stated intention to be a candidate as well, I have concluded that it is in the public interest to appoint a special counsel,” Garland said.

A special counsel appointment “is the right thing to do,” the attorney general continued. “Mr. Smith is the right choice to complete these matters in an even-handed and urgent manner.”

Both Garland and Smith pledged that the appointment will not slow down the investigations, suggesting that the career prosecutors already on those cases would continue to work them.

“I intend to conduct the assigned investigations, and any prosecutions that may result from them, independently and in the best traditions of the Department of Justice. The pace of the investigations will not pause or flag under my watch,” Smith said in a written statement. “I will exercise independent judgement and will move the investigations forward expeditiously and thoroughly to whatever outcome the facts and the law dictate.”

A few hours later, Trump denounced the special counsel as politically motivated.

“This horrendous abuse of power is the latest in a long series of witch hunts,” he told attendees at a black-tie gala for a sympathetic think tank that was held at Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s Florida home and private beach club. “The corrupt and highly political Justice Department just appointed a super-radical left prosecutor.”

Garland signed a two-page order authorizing the special counsel to take over “the ongoing investigation into whether any person or entity violated the law in connection with efforts to interfere with the lawful transfer of power following the 2020 presidential election or the certification of the Electoral College vote held on or about January 6, 2021, as well as any matters that arose or might arise directly from this investigation.”

The order said the special counsel will not be responsible for cases involving those who were physically present at the Capitol on Jan. 6 — leaving those to the U.S. Attorney’s office in Washington, D.C., which has charged more than 900 people so far.

Friday’s order also authorizes Smith to pursue the investigation of possible mishandling of national defense secrets at Mar-a-Lago, as well as possible obstruction or destruction of government records related to that probe. Smith is authorized to investigate any potential cases that arise from that investigation and to refer to other federal prosecutors any potential cases that may fall outside the scope of his work.
