    Default Garland’s special counsels: The mistake keeps getting worse

    Garland’s failure to draw a clear distinction between Biden and Trump has utterly confused the public. Polling from ABC News-Ipsos shows that in considering Biden’s and Trump’s conduct, “nearly a third of the public (30%) finds the actions of both to be equally serious.” That’s no doubt the result of appointing a special counsel for both, treating entirely different circumstances identically.

    Naming a special counsel for officials for whom there is no evidence of criminal intent smears the innocent and gives the potential guilty the excuse that “everyone does it.”

    Garland is incompetent. Biden needs to fire him.

    Garland evidently felt that fairness demanded he treat the Biden case as he treated the investigation of classified documents held by Trump at Mar-a-Lago. The department’s credibility would have been better served if Garland had made tough distinctions between two very different cases.

    The special counsel statute lays out three criteria for an appointment. First, the attorney general must determine that “a criminal investigation” is warranted. Second, that the investigation or resulting prosecution present a conflict of interest for the Justice Department, “or other extraordinary circumstances.” And third, that “under the circumstances, it would be in the public interest to appoint an outside Special Counsel to assume responsibility for the matter.”

    Not on the list: “I want to avoid looking political.”

    Maybe Biden can replace him with a person he recently pardoned for major crimes who isn't a lawyer, much like the guy Biden got as a replacement in Ukraine...

    The distinction being that Trump de-classified his documents and Biden didn't. Biden stored classified documents in multiple non-secure locations (a federal crime) and had his lawyers skim the documents (evidence) before the FBI arrived (obstruction of justice).

    The lawyers at a crime scene skim the evidence before the FBI arrives.

    Unbelievableble.

    Then why start a politically biased incendiary thread for nothing more than a rant of your frustration?

    We are all Frustrated, but I am not taking my frustrations out on the Justice Department

    This is just as frustrating to them as it is all of us.

    Do you realize that the Whitewater investigations went on for 5 years?
