First off, everybody at GAW ... STOP FUCKING BELIEVING WHAT PEOPLE SAY (PAYTRIOTS).
READ THE SHIT FOR YOURSELF!!!
THEN discuss.
Garland's statement says:
I am here today to announce the appointment of a Special Counsel in connection with two ongoing criminal investigations ...
The first ... is the investigation into whether any person or entity unlawfully interfered with the transfer of power following the 2020 presidential election or the certification of the Electoral College vote held on or about January 6, 2021.
The second is the ongoing investigation involving classified documents and other presidential records, as well as the possible obstruction of that investigation, referenced and described in court filings in a pending matter in the Southern District of Florida.
Now, THIS is weird:
Based on recent developments, including the former President's announcement that he is a candidate for President in the next election, and the sitting President's stated intention to be a candidate as well, I have concluded that it is in the public interest to appoint a Special Counsel.
WTF?
Why would that be THE PRIMARY REASON for such an investigation, which is ALREADY "ONGOING" ???
This does not include prosecutions that are currently pending in the District of Columbia, or future investigations and prosecutions of individuals for offenses committed while they were physically present on the Capitol grounds on January 6. Those investigations and prosecutions will remain under the authority of the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia.
It looks like (a) they already have investigations into these things, but (b) BECAUSE Trump has announed a run for election, AND (c) Biden wants to run, too (yeah, whatever), Garland is claiming that AN EXTRA INVESTIGATION needs to be done.
W.T.F.???
