Fritz has that, and lots more
Michael Goodwin at NYPo thinks AG Merrick Garland is the great pretender for thinking the appointment absolves him from the charge of politicization of the DOJ. Power Line’s Paul Mirengoff at Substack says Garland appoints a special counsel, but can’t hide behind him. Jonathon Turley pens The Lords of War: The Perils Facing Trump, Garland, and Smith in Washington’s Legal Arms Race.
In making that case for a Trump special counsel, however, Garland may have made a case against himself for refusing to appoint a Biden special counsel in the Hunter Biden scandal. Garland’s department is investigating potential wrongdoing that could involve the other referenced candidate, President Biden, in the Hunter Biden matter. That investigation should be looking at numerous alleged references to the president using code names such as “the Big Guy” in the context of receiving percentages on foreign deals and other perks. Yet Garland has refused to appoint a special counsel in an investigation that not only could prove highly embarrassing to the president but, in the view of some of us, could implicate him as well.
LOTS, and lots more at the link. Fritz has a lot to ponder, so please go ponder away
