(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) The partisan and corrupt Department of Justice has floated the idea of appointing a special counsel to oversee active federal investigations into former President Donald Trump if he decides to run for president again in 2024.
Currently, Trump is under investigation for his so-called attempt to overthrow the 2020 election, as well as for the militarized FBI raid of his Mar-a-Lago home this past summer.
The selection of a special counsel would serve to ensure that the accusations against Trump will not be perceived by the nation as partisan display, enforced by President Joe Biden’s hacks at the DOJ, but rather via a nonpartisan actor, the New York Post reported.
Such an action would be merely for rhetorical purposes because those on the special counsel would of course be carefuly curated.
According to a former DOJ official, the DOJ may have to rush its normal process in order to ensure that Trump is an invalid candidate for 2024.
“They’re not going to charge before they’re ready to charge,” the former offical said. “But there will be added pressure to get through the review” of cases quicker than the five years the DOJ has to bring charges.
Attorney General Merrick Garland will make the final decision.
Earlier this year 100 Republican members of Congress sent a letter to Garland urging him to appoint a special prosecutor in the Hunter Biden case.
Biden and his son have thus far gone entirely unpunished for the corruption and fraud that they both allegedly engaged in over the course of several decades, including taking more than $100 million in property investments over the past several years from a Russian oligarch.
Nonetheless, Garland has chosen to keep all investigations related to Biden and his family in-house, so that they can be overseen presumably by Garland himself.
