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."

@Ryderbike "Kamala Harris promoted fund that bailed out Minneapolis rioters and a twice convicted rapist
Aided by endorsements from prominent public figures like Harris, the Freedom Fund quickly raised $35 million in the weeks following Floyd’s death. While the charity appeared to simply pocket a massive portion of that money, some of its funds were used to post bail for accused criminals.
Among these criminals are a woman who was charged with murder after stabbing a man who didn’t want to have sex with her, a twice-convicted rapist accused of sexual assault and kidnapping, and a woman who was arrested after allegedly shooting at police.
The MFF paid $100,000 cash to bail out accused murderer Darnika Floyd, $350,000 for rapist Christopher Boswell, and $75,000 for the woman who allegedly fired at police, Jaleel Stallings, the Fox 9 investigative team recently found.
The group has bailed out 184 people at an average cost of $13,195 since the Minneapolis riots began. The MFF’s typical bail payment is just $132, per documents examined by Fox 9.
“I often don’t even look at a charge when I bail someone out,” the president of MFF’s board, Greg Lewin, told Fox 9. “I will see it after I pay the bill because it is not the point. The point is the system we are fighting.”

@sunsporter1649 makes you wonder why the Republicans didn’t call the only witness. Why wouldn’t they get the third person in the room to testify? It seems to me a Blasi was lying she wouldn’t of said there’s a third person in the room. And all Republicans have to do is say OK let’s get that third person to testify. But the Republicans refused to call the only witness. You know why and so do I
@sunsporter1649 It’s pretty clear why they didn’t call the witness isn’t it? Imagine that. An actual witness to the event and Republicans refused to call the only witness
