38. You were referring to the power of Garland as AG

So I responded within the context of federal prosecutions.

As we saw, Trump appealed rulings by the presiding trial judge all the way to SCOTUS- that’s how the immunity ruling came about.

Once the immunity ruling was issued, then each charge in the J6 case had to be vetted for whether it was covered by immunity, rulings that would have been appealed all the back to SCOTUS if the election hadn’t happened first, In any case, because of the Trump and SCOTUS orchestrated delays, no trial date was ever set.

Aileen Cannon prevented Smith from getting a trial date- she eventually dismissed the docs case altogether.

You clearly don’t understand the process, rationale or definition of a special prosecutor, or how the court system works in general.

Special prosecutors DO NOT:

Work faster
Have more power
Control the courts

Special prosecutors are “special” because of the administrative layer that separates them from the AG and president to prevent ethical conflicts of interest.

That’s it.

Smith was appointed at exactly the right time - 48 hours after Trump filed his 2024 candidacy, which made him an opponent of the sitting president. Before that, Trump was just a private citizen who happened to be a former president, which doesn’t warrant a special prosecutor.

About 80% of Smith’s team was comprised of Garland’s team, which had been in place since June 2021.

Thanks to Garland, Smith started on third base due to:

Garland fighting all executive privilege claims up to the Supreme Court and winning.
Garland fighting all attorney-client privilege claims up to the Supreme Court and winning
Obtaining the search warrant for Mar a Lago and seizing the evidence for the docs trial- it was the only evidence Cannon didn’t exclude.
