    Yea right, as the FBI director said under oath 70% of the violence over this Roe deal has been against Pro Life centers, has Garland prosecuted one? Has he arrested one? Nope instead he has 27 cases he's prosecuting in violence against pro choice centers. You guys and your political persecutions are going too far, it's going to bite you in the ass. Americans like their fairness.

    That's probably the best way to go. this from an article about the appointment.


    https://news.yahoo.com/garland-appoint-special-counsel-trump-184223079.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall


    “According to Garland’s order, Smith will take over the entirety of the probe into the presence of numerous White House records and documents with classified markings at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida after he left office in January 2021. Smith will also take over the ongoing investigation into “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 related matters.


    However, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Washington, D.C., will retain control over investigations and prosecutions of people “physically present on the Capitol grounds” on Jan. 6, 2021, Garland’s order said. About 900 people at or near the Capitol that day have been charged criminally with offenses ranging from trespassing to seditious conspiracy against the U.S. government.”


    I think this was the right thing to do in the right way.

    Nobody denied people died in Benghazi. The “investigation” and subsequent hearings were about what Hillary said was the motive in an interview shortly after the attack. The SOS has no authority to deploy troops. In those hearings it was clearly defined and proven that she had no culpability in what happened, except in rightwinglandia she shot them all herself ;)

    Hillary paid Russians to influence the election ?
    https://www.justice.gov/archives/sco/file/1373816/download

    You will find in that report that it was the Trump campaign that they proved had contacts with Russia, but hey, you do you


    Trump: You seem to be ill informed as they DID try for over 2 months to get Trump to bring them back, they tried negotiating with Trump and Trump told them to piss up a rope, so they went in and took them. The current reporting shows that he had more than they knew, and the investigation now is into how/what he used them for

    Go ahead in investigate Biden. Ill bet you here and now $1000 that they find NOTHING on Joe, but the committee run by republicans will claim they did, and show no real proof. See, Im all for rooting out corruption, but I dont like political persecutions. Trump is only running in this election so that when they do go after him for the top secret docs he can claim “political persecution” and the rubes will follow suit.

    As of today, we know for a fact that:

    1. Trump DID take top secret docs.
    2. He kept them in an unsecured facility that the public had access to
    3. We know he did NOT declassify them as their is no paper trail to prove it
    4. We KNOW that the Saudis gave a $2 BILLION $$$ “loan” to Jared when he was working in the White House


    You find something on Joe and Ill get right in line behind you to prosecute him. But stop acting like what Trump did is just political. He’s running in this election to keep those investigations at bay, and also to pause the financial fraud investigations into the Trump org that are finding things that are very serious for him.

    Not sure how it's going to play out, but it looks like once Republicans take their seats in the House, there'll be an investigation to examine JOE Biden's active role in HUNTER Biden's 'business' schemes.

    That's when you'll see 'the shoe on the other foot' -- and it'll be DEMOCRATS who are screaming that it's all a 'witch hunt', exactly as the Trump forces have about "Russia, Russia, Russia" in the past. As it turned out, the "Russia, Russia, Russia" fable turned out to be nothing but cobbled-together bullshit with a basis in nothing other than some bunch of Democrats' wishful thinking. But, will the escapades of the Biden family 'crime syndicate' amount to no more than a variety of the same, or will there be LEGS to these Biden family stories?

    And, to the point of the thread -- will the Department of Justice be open to the idea of going after Joe if evidence is brought forth suggesting that he was actively involved in criminal activity with his son and others...? Is "Justice" blind...?

    Whitewater right? As I recall that was investigated during the election by a special counsel Robert Fiske who was later replaced by Ken Starr.
    Special Counsel law lapsed under Clinton in the early 90s and he was the first since carter to champion it and signed it back in to law. Where it was immediately used on his admin 7 separate times by the late 90s.

    Its only been used like 11 or 12 times. I suppose 13 now.

    Hillary Clinton wasn't a presidential candidate when Whitewater was investigated.

    When was the last time a President ran for a 3rd Term after taking 4 years off?
    It was Grover Cleveland...
    And, Cleveland Was a Honorable Man...
    Not a Career Criminal (like the Orange Trump Stain)...
    You're very welcome to the History Lesson...:flagus:

    Aaaaah!.... You can almost hear the most senior right wingers in this forum screaming "No! No! Don't ask him that!".

    Too late! They know it makes me sooooo happy whenever somebody asks me that question. It gives me the opportunity to show off my famous "Trump Crimes or High Crimes and Misdemeanors" Sheet.

    I should clarify that I haven't removed High Crimes and Misdemeanors (this chart was started at the start of Trump's Presidency) because he can STILL be impeached. And I have kept the other Trump family crimes for reference. I might remove this the next time. I'll think about it...

    Hire Duuham and we can punish some errand boy with 30 days of probation and call it an explosive investigation.

    Well... here's a news flash for you: They have! The DOJ just named a special prosecutor!

    And they asked me to thank you for the tip. They would have forgotten, if you hadn't reminded us. You can read all about it here
