Special Council to Investigate Trump very Disappointing

There is mo reason for Garland to appoint a special council and drag this out another 3 or more years.

It is obvious that Trump has committed multiple crimes. Either charge him or not based on whatever is best for the country.

Another two or more years of investigating is not need and a waste of time and money. The only upside is it keeps trying from saying he is innocent of no charges would be filed and from becoming a martyr if they are. As this new investigation will surely last beyond two years

...and if he HADN'T appointed a Special Counsel, you would have attacked him for that.

They will attack hom anyway. Whomever he appoints will be vilified the way you folks vilified Ken Starr

No, it's YOUR side that will be vilifying him. Just like Trump is vilifying the Special Master he demanded to be appointed to his case.

And you'll believe Trump on all of this.

[ProfX]

If Garland indicted Trump on his own, the cries of "partisan witch hunt" would reach the Moon.

A Special Counsel allows investigation, and/or possible prosecution, from as independent a source as our system allows.

If they find somebody as decent, independent, and thorough as Robert Mueller, I'm fine with it.

And if they dig up Judge Parker you will claim hom.to be non partisan

I am sure much of the country is getting Trump fatigued and now we get 2+ more years of it.
He should have appointed a special council a year ago

He owns the party. They'll never get rid of him. The GOP has that Trump funk on them it'll take decades to get rid of.

Nope. Appointing a special council on Trump is a good thing. Of course Glenn doesn't like it.

He would have complained either way.

[Drak]

He would have complained either way.

I also suspect this has something to do with protecting the investigations into Trump, since the House GOP claims they are going to defund the DOJ. But I'm not 100 percent up on how that works.

[Drak]

Oh look. Someone scared.

If Merrick Garland didn’t think there was a serious possibility that Trump would be indicted, he wouldn’t have appointed a special counsel.

He didn’t appoint Jack Smith to wind down these investigations.

Don’t think this is a coincidence

But I think this action of appointing him means there will not be an indictment. Reason is simple, while he is guilty of all crimes alleged, if you get ONE trumper, ONE board con, they will let him off and that would be a disaster.

But I want him indicted anyway.

Oh, board cons emailed trump to see what they could do to help him with this ...

A lot of the legal minds think the opposite. That this means indictments. It also won’t slow things down or impede anything. Smith will pick up from where things currently stand.

Hope so...Tribe himself said the opposite 4 days ago...but I will be happy knowing this is stressing out the traitor.

Yes. Time's up, DOJ. I know that Merrick Garland, who has devoted his life to the rule of law, will do the right thing. But that requires him to indict now. Even waiting till the Dec. 6 runoff would be wrong, and there's no excuse for delaying things by naming a special counsel.

WHY ARE we in a thread started by a trump supporter


I will start a new thread, please stay off this one...not addressing my friends, but you know what i mean

The justice system moves at a glacial pace. Adding time to the process in order to get everything right harms nothing.

President Trump's duty is not to prove himself innocent. It is the job of the prosecutor to prove him guilty beyond any reasonable doubt.

This is a case that must be stand up to the most rigorous levels of scrutiny and appointing a special prosecutor only serves to protect the process.

I fully support this decision.

Personally I think the investigation of any high ranking elected official is way to susceptible to political influence and will most always be questioned by the opposing party. Appointing a special counsel is an attempt to remedy that to some degree. I agree with the decision and I think it should apply to any such investigation. People need to be able to trust the justice system is apolitical.

Well, the Donald apparently just isn't going to comply. Isn't that special?

If he's convicted, I can see him fleeing the nation for Russia or Saudi Arabia. Or maybe even fleeing to his lover Kim in North Korea.

Won't that speak well for the GOP? They took years to live down Nixon, wonder how long it'll take for them to get people to forget how they lionized Trump?

The Trump's are freaking out over this, so I'd say it's a good deal.

And the Special Counsel doesn't have to start over, he's got all the current investigation to work from. He could put out indictments in a very short amount of time.

But don't worry, the people YOU voted for will be trying to defund the DoJ for the guy you supposedly don't support.

[Drak]

Yep. The fact that Trump and his allies are shitting the sheets over this and totally freaking out shows it’s the right move.
