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."

@ElwoodBlues Hillary and the DNC were both fined for their roles in promoting the fake Steele Dossier, do you really think a politician would go to prison? Lol
The bipartisan election commission also dismissed a complaint against Christopher Steele, the author of the dossier that caused a firestorm of allegations and investigations that shook the early months of Trump's presidency.
The campaign mislabeled Steele's work as "legal services" and "legal and compliance consulting" in campaign filings, the FEC concluded.
Yep, it was oppo research, and the DNC opened their records so the FEC could see they had mislabeled it. Meanwhile, Trump continues to fight all the way to SCOTUS to keep any and all records secret, LOL!!!
Igor Danchenko, the primary source for the infamous Trump-Russia dossier, was acquitted Tuesday of four counts of lying to the FBI in an embarrassing defeat for special counsel John Durham.
Durham has taken two cases to trial, and both have ended in acquittals. After more than three years looking for misconduct in the FBI's Trump-Russia probe, Durham has only secured one conviction: the guilty plea of a low-level FBI lawyer, who got probation.
Christopher Steele and the dossier vindicated again
@Ryderbike is why Republicans are going to end the extremes of the progressive nit wits that dont even know they are following in the footsteps of naizis' Germany 🙄
@Ryderbike To be fair, they're holding up one finger. It's a Qanon salute, meaning "where we go one we go all." But I'd say Qanon is just as dangerous as Nazism in that it's an authoritarian movement that's totally detached from reality and worships a psychotic criminal.
the middle finger is much older then quanon, i appreciate your honesty, but quanon is a left wing propaganda pipedream
They're not holding up the middle finger, they're holding up the pointer finger. This was at a Trump rally. And Qanon is definitely real. Tons of people openly admit to believing in Q.
@BohemianBabe it stems from central intelligence, its the welfare republicans, just like the welfare democrats believe george floyd was murdered in police brutality. Ive had police officers far more aggressive then that, at my own home.
@BohemianBabe he died of drug overdose. He was a looser. Ive been stabed by an Adderall abusive loved one, when i went to authorities they more then put a knee on me and blammed me for an addictive action, i do not believe any of you!
