Garland appoints Special Counsel to investigate Mike Pence.

[W_HAMILTON]

26. Do you realize how many investigations the DOJ/FBI has done against candidates running for office...

...without the need for a special counsel?

Once again, if that's now Garland's DOJ's rule, he should state so. He should explicitly state what the requirements are to appoint a special counsel so everyone knows going forward.

Fact of the matter is, he didn't need to appoint a special counsel for the Trump investigation and he didn't need to appoint one for Biden (once again, there is history of the DOJ/FBI investigating matters involving their president without the need for a special counsel).

But he did, and therefore Pence should receive one as well. If his special carve-out rule that everyone is stating on his behalf is that he needs special counsels to investigate candidates for federal office -- even though, once again, Biden has not officially declared he is running, but people just add in another random carve-out to explain that one away -- there's a few Republican congressmen that are believed to be under investigation that should also have special counsels appointed for them...
