and yet, he's asking her, on the last day possible, to lift the blockade he said she had no jurisdiction to set.


And that is why I wrote what I wrote.

The report on the J6 case has been thoroughly discussed on DU


Not hardly. It was literally anti-climatic and a let down.

but unfortunately, some posters have tried to insist on overlooking the fact that Smith did not write in it anything about the first 2 years that garland was inactive.


And some posters have posted the ACTUAL timelines that refute the nonsensical talking point that the J6 investigation was "inactive" for 2 years, and naturally that continues to get ignored because it doesn't fit the narrative.

There are still people who continue to claim that he was "never prosecuted", insisting that he was never arrested nor charged (meaning the Grand jury never happened nor did the indictments, which ARE "charges" ).

(CNN)The FBI executed a search warrant on Monday at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, as part of an investigation into the handling of presidential documents, including classified documents, that may have been brought to Florida, three people familiar with the situation say.

Trump confirmed that FBI agents were at Mar-a-Lago and said "they even broke into my safe." "My beautiful home, Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents," he said in a statement Monday evening. The former President was not in Florida at the time that the search warrant was executed.

The search began early Monday morning and law enforcement personnel appeared to be focused on the area of the club where Trump's offices and personal quarters are, according to a person familiar with the matter. The Justice Department declined to comment to CNN, as did the White House. A White House official said it was not notified about the search. CNN has reached out to the FBI for comment.

The Justice Department has two known active investigations connected to the former President, one on the effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election and January 6, 2021, and the other involving the handling of classified documents. The National Archives, charged with collecting and sorting presidential material, has previously said at least 15 boxes of White House records were recovered from Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort -- including some that were classified. In April and May, aides to Trump at Mar-a-Lago were interviewed by the FBI as part of the probe into the handling of presidential records, according to a source familiar with the matter.


When 45 announced that he was probably going to run, THEN that is when DOJ went with a SC to wall the department off and allow the investigation to continue and ramp up further. Of course the RW loon Cannon believe the idiocy of Thomas that Smith was not "legal" as a Special Counsel and has used that excuse to further gum up the works and eventually throw the classified docs case out.

Attorney General Merrick Garland names Jack Smith special counsel in Trump criminal probes

Fri Nov 18, 2022, 01:29 PM

U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland on Friday named former federal prosecutor Jack Smith as special counsel for two ongoing criminal investigations by the Department of Justice of former President Donald Trump.

Smith’s appointment came three days after Trump, a Republican, announced plans to run for president in 2024. Trump’s move directly led to Garland’s decison to appoint a special counsel, who will recommend whether criminal charges should be lodged against the ex-president.

The attorney general himself was appointed by Biden, a Democrat who defeated Trump in his 2020 re-election bid. Biden could again face Trump again in the 2024 election, although the president has not yet made a final decision on becoming a candidate.

The first investigation that Smith will begin immediately handling is looking into whether any person, including Trump, unlawfully interferred with the transfer of presidential power following the 2020 election, or the certification of the Electoral College vote in President Joe Biden’s favor on Jan. 6, 2021.
