I Learned Something About A Jack Smith Indictment

[gab13by13]

If Jack Smith decides to indict Donald Trump he does need the approval of Merrick Garland, BUT: if Garland disagrees with Smith he can't just let the indictment die. If Garland disagrees with Smith he must give a reason why he overruled Smith and it must involve something that Smith did wrong in his investigation, it can't just be he thinks it's a weak case.

Once Jack Smith pulls the trigger the indictment isn't locked in stone, but darned close.

If you want to know what's going on, watch only Nicolle Wallace.

I have a feeling about this Friday, but maybe it's just gas? 😊

1. I doubt that he would try to over-rule the Special Counsel.

He would let it run its course, in my opinion.

17. It's happened before. But this makes me feel much better.

19. I agree, he didn't bring in the big gun to override him.

2. so it can't be "for the good of the country" Gerold Ford crap?

7. Not according to Andrew Weissmann.

9. Woo Hoo!!!

But, I still got the pessimism part of my brain that is very skeptical.

10. Of course the good of the country would be

to repudiate that bigoted shit mouth and all his followers and their motives.

"The good of the country" always means appeasing criminality, racism, misogyny, and greed. Not indicting Donald Trump is condoning White Supremacy.

11. You are not disagreeing with me. I just was wondering if it could happen.

[LuvLoogie]

12. I understand where you are coming from

I speak of the actions of the PTB, the choice before them, and the larger ramifications of that choice.

3. But my birthday is on Thursday and I was hoping to receive a certain gift. nt

4. It will be a huge gift no matter what day it happens.

Thursday would be super awesome, but how about a Friday belated gift? I'm sure you would still be very happy, as would most of the rest of the USA.

[TexasTowelie]

5. I'll take it whatever day it happens, but like most people I am out of patience. nt

[niyad]

16. Wishing you an early Happy Birthday. May you receive all that you desire.

6. Interesting, and good to know.

Ty. Presumably, that's a rule in general, not just a Jack Smith rule. ?

Regarding the impaneling of a GJ in Florida , I'm wondering if that was a Garland decision.

The issue of stolen documents is a national security matter, not a matter pertaining to the state of Florida.

So, i'm puzzled by that news, and of course pessimistic about the outcome resulting from a panel of trump worshipers.

8. Yes, it's a rule re: special counsels in general.

The Florida grand jury could have been done for numerous reasons. It could be to prosecute, interrogate under oath, Mar-el-Loco workers who may be involved in crimes.

13. Garland knew what he was getting with Jack Smith

He may not have wanted to be the heavy, but he would not have chosen this guy if he didn't want to get results.

If you don't want to kick someone's ass you don't hire an asskicker.

14. The Cassidy Hutchinson testimony lit the fire.

15. If Garland refuses, he will also be hauled before Congress to explain.

[inthewind21]

20. To whom will he do the explaining?

Jordan? And which part of Congress?

[Sneederbunk]

22. The Senate Judiciary Committee for one.

[Scrivener7]

18. This is very good news. This has been something I was worried about.

[Chainfire]

21. It it was Garland's original intent to deep-six the prosecution, he would have hired a different

special council.
