Why didn't garland appoint a special counsel

[MOMFUDSKI]

to look at pence regarding classified documents? Shit

[Fiendish Thingy]

1. Pence was a private citizen - SC wasn't justified

Biden was a sitting president, and Trump’s SC was appointed two days after he declared his candidacy, otherwise an SC wouldn’t have been justified for him either.

2. Link?

Garland's use of special counsels is unprecedented. There is no rule, no law that prohibits DOJ from investigating politicians or private citizens who declare they are running for public office.

Garland was not required to appoint Hur or Smith.

Hunter Biden is a private citizen and yet Garland appointed a special counsel. Why did Weiss have the authority to indict Smirnov? Weiss was given no jurisdiction to investigate Smirnov.

Merrick Garland appears to appoint special counsels so that he can play Julius Caesar.

4. Hunter is the son of a sitting president

There is indeed a law regarding special counsels:

https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/28/600.1

§ 600.1 Grounds for appointing a Special Counsel.
The Attorney General, or in cases in which the Attorney General is recused, the Acting Attorney General, will appoint a Special Counsel when he or she determines that criminal investigation of a person or matter is warranted and—

(a) That investigation or prosecution of that person or matter by a United States Attorney's Office or litigating Division of the Department of Justice would present a conflict of interest for the Department or other extraordinary circumstances; and

(b) That under the circumstances, it would be in the public interest to appoint an outside Special Counsel to assume responsibility for the matter.

3. Last I checked Hunter Biden was a private

citizen.
