Clarence Thomas Asks If Jack Smith Is Appointment Illegal | Headline USA
(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Does Special Counsel Jack Smith lack the authority to bring criminal charges against former President Donald Trump? This pivotal question surfaced during a Supreme Court hearing on Thursday, initiated by Justice Clarence Thoma...
If a jury is impaneled and Smith is tossed, then it is over due to double jeopardy. If Smith goes through the Senate process, it could get very ugly. Two different paths.
Well right now Democrats control the senate. They would probably just confirm him as a matter of procedure.
If they send him up for confirmation now, that would be admitting that he was not eligible to serve and all prior actions would be illegal. Grand Jury indictments, subpoenas, witness interviews, search warrants, etc. would be thrown out.
Seems to me to be all fruit of a poisonous tree if he is not legal.
