Will This Appointment Set A Precedent?
A quote from Garland.
“It is in the public interest to appoint a special prosecutor to independently manage an investigation and prosecution based on recent developments including the former president’s announcement that he is a candidate for president in the next election and the sitting presidents stated intention to be a candidate as well,” Garland said.
So if President Biden comes out and says he is not running for reelection then Garland will not appoint the SC? I'm confused. President Biden still nominated Garland whether he runs in 2024 or not. What if Garland had scheduled Trump to appear before a grand jury and the next day Trump announces he is running for president? What would Garland have done?
Stupid questions?

No such thing as a stupid question (stupid assumptions, perhaps, but not questions)
