I think you’ll find that the whole “Trump sold secrets” narrative is just that. They have the papers and they would have charged him. A special counsel would not be needed. But go ahead and hope. |

A special counsel is actually more likely to be needed when the evidence supports charging. Garland doesn’t want to do it himself. Let a neutral third party do it. I’m not surprised you can’t figure that out though, based on your general lack of reading comprehension, it’s hopeless. |

You are correct. They were informants paid by the FBI. Entrapment is a real concern. |

Or when you want to state “I can’t comment on an ongoing investigation” when you are called to testify. |

Hadn’t read that they were paid anywhere but even if they were, the bar to establish entrapment is high. You’d have to show that these guys wouldn’t have stormed the Capitol on J6 on their own. Very unlikely a few informants were more motivating than the actually ringleaders of the plot, including Rhodes and DJT himself. |

No. You don’t need to appoint a special counsel to say that. |

| This isn't just about Trump. A bunch of people who were involved with the insurrection were just elected and reelected to Federal and State offices last week. |

The last few years made me wonder whether obstructing justice using the powers of your public office was very criminal. Guess I’m gonna find out! |

Oh God, you are so confused. You think that means that “the FBI announced something to the public”? Lord Almighty. |

DOJ isn't supposed to be political but even an amomeba would understand that you don't appoint a special prosecutor for Trump before midterm election. It would garner sympathy for Trump which would bring out the MAGA Deplorables in droves to vote. |

Trump is never going to be "brought down." The MOST that will ever happen to Trump is a non-public plea and a fine. No jail time. I'm just jaded and tired at this point. A Special Counsel doesn't matter. Who cares? They still report to the DOJ so what's the point? I don't know why anyone on earth would take this job and then be subject to the rantings of Jim Jordan and Marjorie Taylor Green while you rack up enormous legal fees. |
