DOJ considering special counsel to investigate Trump
"Attorney General Merrick Garland is considering naming a special prosecutor to investigate Donald Trump as to insulate the Department of Justice as the former president makes an expected 2024 comeback attempt.
CNN's Erin Burnett on Thursday noted that Kellyanne Conway said we should expect Trump to "announce soon" a third White House campaign.
"These are conversations they are having behind the scenes because, obviously, the possibility that the former president announces his candidacy for office again is real and is coming most likely after the election," Perez reported.
"And so one of the issues for the Justice Department is the prospect of having a department that answers to Tump's potential rival in 2024 doing an investigation of a sitting candidate, an ongoing candidate," he explained.
"And so, one of the ideas is, does a special counsel insulate the department from political criticism," he explained."

Well of course they are. All of their over-the-top political bias and expenditures on "investigations" that lead to televised kangaroo courts because they couldn't walk into a court of law where Trump's constitutional rights are protected and present any of the nonsense the believe they have. If they do pull another stunt like that I think that the new congress will pull their funding and ask the administration, why are they worried about Trump when 5 million new illegals are roaming free in the US and fentanyl is flooding across the nonexistent border, and important materials and supplies are being withheld from the American people and kept floating in the ocean in cargo containers instead of being off loaded and sent to markets. They will likely want to know why they are punishing Americans instead of serving them. Merrick Garland can be impeached. Aren't we all glad that sniveling wimp isn't on the supreme court like Obama wanted? Who else sends jack booted thugs with automatic weapons to arrest people for praying in an abortion clinic?
