    Uh oh. Expect the GOP House to interfere and make themselves even less respected.

    https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/18/politics/justice-department-trump-special-counsel/index.html

    Attorney General Merrick Garland plans to announce Friday that he has appointed a special counsel to oversee investigations into the retention of national defense information at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort and key aspects of the criminal investigation into January 6, 2021, according to a senior Justice Department official.

    Both investigations implicate the conduct of former President Donald Trump, who on Tuesday declared his candidacy in the 2024 presidential race, making him a potential rival of President Joe Biden.

    Justice Department officials have been debating for weeks whether to appoint a special counsel, CNN previously reported.

    Trump has sought to paint the investigations as politically motivated, including at his Tuesday presidential announcement, where he said he was the victim of a “weaponization” of the justice system.

    AG Garland is on TV right now addressing the issue.

    Righties need to listen and learn.

    If the House (R)adicals are smart, they will leave well enough alone and let justice run its course. Trumpty Dumpty has fallen, even if his base is slow to get the memo. The men behind the curtains know that he is unelectable and a major drag on their party.

    GOP megadonor Mercer family has no plans to boost Trump’s 2024 campaign as former president loses more allies
    Published Fri, Nov 18 2022

    • GOP megadonors Robert and daughter Rebekah Mercer have no current plans to help former President Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign for the White House.
    • The Mercers, who were one of Trump’s major benefactors during his first run for president in 2016, are distancing themselves from the former commander in chief’s latest White House bid and cutting back their overall campaign fundraising.
    • Federal Election Commission records indicate that after spending millions to help get Trump elected over Democrat Hillary Clinton in 2016, both Robert and Rebekah Mercer have largely cutback their support.

    Endless attempts to convict Trump of SOMETHING... ANYTHING.... ALL NOTHINBURGERS
    It never ends... getting funny now

    Mueller Report: numerous convictions
    First Impeachment: bipartisan and successful
    Second Impeachment: bipartisan and successful

    It’s so amazing to see “the party of law and order” scream it isn’t really an issue if a president that was forced to vacate due to a major election loss steals classified documents and then refuses to return them.

    "Waaaah! Witch hunt!" isn't a rational response, is it?

    The Mercers were involved in Cambridge Analalytica, Alfa Bank and are major supporters of Bannon along with the Princes' and Devos'. They are Christo Fascists IMO and the key word in your post is "current".

    Dems have been investigating Trump since before he was sworn in as President back in 2016. Does this mean they're finally getting serious about it? It's been 8 years and counting and still no charges.

    Yes it is an ongoing international disgrace that someone so blatantly criminal has yet to be prosecuted

    Of course not. They ignore facts and the law.

    "Uh, he hasn't been charged with a crime! This makes him innocent even though he couldn't have been charged with a crime while President!"

    Umm, yeah...good argument.

    Garland won't touch Hunter's laptop or relations with Burisma, showing with certainty how corrupt the creature is.

    Tell us which crimes Hunter Biden is guilty of.

    BTW, he's being investigated right now, and and Biden is showing what a real President does----not interfere in an investigation.

    So, how is the Orange Failure magically not guilty WRT his theft and possession of government documents? What are his defenses?

    I have plenty of ideas. It is my opinion that the crimes and sins here are those of the father more than the son.

    Mr. Bobulinski's information, however, shows the son to be at least as culpable as the father.

    "Plenty of ideas", but none worth sharing. Got it.
