Donald Trump has faced mountains of accusations from almost the moment he descended that escalator all the way back in 2015. The former President has been accused of saying things he never said, stealing elections he never stole, and so much more.
This from thepatriotjournal.com.
And now, just days after Trump announced his 3rd bid for the Presidency, the Obiden Regime has launched a special counsel investigation. From the Wall Street Journal:
Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed a former federal and international war-crimes prosecutor as special counsel on Friday to oversee Justice Department investigations into former President Donald Trump.
Jack Smith, who once led the Justice Department unit that investigates public corruption and since 2018 was the chief prosecutor at The Hague investigating war crimes in Kosovo, will be the third special counsel in five years to examine issues involving Mr. Trump.
Specifically, Mr. Smith will head to Washington to investigate Trump over 2 issues:
His handling of documents and his role in the January 6th Capitol events.
At the moment, mainstream news organizations are calling Jack Smith a politically independent investigator of corruption, seemingly a fair choice. Selecting a Special Counsel distances AG Merrick Garland from appearances of political activity.
But some believe this action and its timing are suspect. Maybe no one feels that way more than President Trump, who responded only minutes later with a stark statement.
From Fox News:
Former President Donald Trump blasted the Justice Department’s appointment of a special counsel to take over investigations related to presidential records and Jan. 6, telling Fox News he “won’t partake in it” and calling it “the worst politicization of justice in our country,” while urging the Republican Party to take action.
President Trump told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview Friday shortly after the announcement:
I have been going through this for six years—for six years I have been going through this, and I am not going to go through it anymore.
Trump has made himself perfectly clear. After 2 impeachments, a special counsel, numerous investigations and lawsuits, he has had enough.
Even the DOJ has admitted that there is no evidence (now that the midterms are complete) that Trump took the documents with any intent to sell them. It seems he and his team had tried to be helpful with the investigation at the time.
And as for January 6th, as much as the House’s grandstanding investigation tried to assign intent to Trump’s words and actions on that fateful day, they did not seem to sway many more to believe that Trump incited what happened that day. Why? Because he did not actually tell them to go do what they did.
