While millions are entertained by the latest antics from the former felon-in-chief.......

our AG (yes, you, Garland) dignified the mean aspirations of a right-wing conspiracy by appointing a special prosecutor to "get to the bottom" of whatever Hunter Biden is being drug into by these fools on the hill. It was/is a bad move on Garland's part. A move similar in value and purpose to Comey's last minute redundancy bulletin of October 2016 which cost Hillary the election and gave us Trump.

It's dangerous because there need not be proof of wrongdoing by Democratic operatives or personalities associated with Democratic operatives for these rumor laden headline grabbers to harm the interests of Democrats in general and specifically their prospects
for elections to office. It is certainly quite bad enough that outrageous creations of fancy daily pollute the American mindset spouted by Fox, rabidly-right media sources and Republicans on the hill. It is made magnitudes of worse when an appearance of credibility gets attached to these lies.

There is no good reason for this betrayal by Mr. Garland. It will certainly remain a live "dead fish" in late 2024. It takes a pretty wild imagination to make Joe Biden out to be a grifting traitor. Until respectability is given to such inane productions from the fevered imagination of the MTG's and Gym Jordan's, their lies are laughable and ultimately harmless. Garland has allowed that germ of curiosity and doubt to see the light of day, even hoisting it up for the world to see.

So, Trump's still free to grift and be silly while Biden's presidency is shown through the cloud of doubt we call "Trump appointee appointed special council".

1. Whatabout. Just gotta play.

2. Republicans hate the appointment, giving us a clue as to how we should consider it.

3. If that translates into a higher Democratic turnout in swing states.........

I'm good with that, great even. Not sure it does, though.

Otherwise, I see no good reason to lend credibility to whatever Republicans may be rumored to hate or think about anything at all.

5. I think it's a 2 edged sword. There are millions of voters out there

that believe both sides are corrupt. To that point this could just give more justification to their belief and further reinforce their apathy about voting.

But it also, as many here have pointed out, shut the wacko's in Congress up.

I hope it doesn't last into next year because I believe, with so many razor thin margins up and down the ballot, it could affect voter turn out and we're going to need everyone we can to vote.

6. ...counsel is restricted by the law to investigate court admissible facts. Republican ofc hate that!

[Brainfodder]

4. TOO SOON!

I like it, 33 Senators asked for it DIRECTLY including whiners after getting what they wanted, and YEAH THEY DID THAT!

FAFO!!!!!

This gets rid of Hunter BS:
Whatabouthims
Will show the laptop was Rudy BS more clearly?
Hunter has been shown to be way TF cooler than Cheeto Bandito spawn!

They have been on him since 2019, this is first hearing about it could mean they got nothing already out and can clear it up 100% whatever the outcome as an independent entity?

JUST THE FACT THE REPUBLICANS OWN HUNTER HUNTERS HAVE NOT MUCH should be enough to not worry so much?
They basically MADE UP witnesses who did not collaborate the hype at all!?!

Connect some dots! In this case, drugs and missing taxes, those 2 things: NOT SHOCKING! He took escape drugs for a while!
He had to pay out a lot of extra dough to take care of it, and it aint totally settled even, like that aint sus?

7. Then why are republicans outraged that Garland appointed an SC?

To compare this to Comey’s treatment of HRC reveals you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about.
