Surprise! Merrick Garland's Choice of Special Prosecutor Is Yet Another Angry Democrat With a Limitless Jurisdiction to Get Trump

NBC say that Merrick Garland made a "blunder" in his instructions to his corrupt partisan special prosecutor. Rather than giving him instructions that would result in a quick prosecutorial decision, as Garland claims he wanted, he "blundered" and wrote instructions that would result in, get this, and endless investigation with a limitless scope:

Despite assurances from Garland that a special counsel will not bog down the investigation, reality suggests otherwise. Smith will oversee not one but two ongoing investigations: The efforts to disrupt the counting of the Electoral College ballots on Jan. 6, 2021, and Trump's possession of classified documents and presidential records at his Mar-a-Lago home after leaving office.

For the first one alone, the attorney general has directed Smith to investigate whether "any person or entity unlawfully interfered with the transfer of power following the 2020 presidential election or the certification of the Electoral College on or about January 6, 2021."

Looking into "any person or entity" is a very wide scope that is time-consuming and shifts the focus away from Trump.

Does anyone think this is a "blunder"? No. Democrats and the Deep State and the propaganda Orwellian media -- but I repeat myself thrice -- are determined to have Trump under investigation for the rest of his natural life.

Meanwhile -- you'll never guess! -- Merrick Garland appointed a highly-partisan Democrat apparatchik who conspired with Lois Lerner about what laws he could use as pretext to assist in her illegal targeting of conservatives in order to silence them as political speakers:

House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jim Jordan (R-OH) said on Sunday that Special Counsel Jack Smith tried to find ways to target conservative organizations during the Obama era-IRS scandal.

Jordan said on Fox Business on Sunday that he and Rep. Darrell Issa's (R-CA) 2014 report looking into the IRS's targeting of conservative tax-exempt organizations has potentially troubling context for the Special Counsel investigation into former President Donald Trump.

...

Indeed, in September 2010 -- Smith, the then-chief of the Justice Department's public integrity section, criminal division -- emailed his senior leadership regarding a New York Times article regarding conservative organizations:

Check out [the] article on front page of ny times [sic] regarding misuse of non-profits for indirectly funding campaigns. This seems egregious to me -- could we ever charge a [18 U.S.C. Section] 371 conspiracy to violate laws of the USA for misuse of such non profits to get around existing campaign finance laws + limits? I know 501s are legal but if they are knowingly using them beyond what they are allowed to use them for (and we could prove that factually)? IRS Commissioner sarah ingram [sic] oversees these groups. Let's discuss tomorrow but maybe we should try to set up a meeting this week. [Emphasis added]

The House Republican report noted that Smith then proceeded to convene meetings on a "possible 501/campaign finance investigation":

Smith convened meetings on a "possible 501/campaign finance investigation."801 At Smith's direction, Pilger arranged a meeting with Lerner and the IRS to discuss the "evolving legal landscape" of campaign-finance law after the Citizens United decision.802 Pilger intended to engage with Lerner about being "more vigilant to the opportunities from more crime in the . . . 501(c)(4) area."803 He also sought to better understand the "practicalities" of criminally enforcing non-profit political speech, such as whether the IRS could review donor lists of 501(c)(4) organizations for potential violations of campaign-finance law.

And his wife is a hyperpartisan p*ssyhat-wearing Full Metal Karen.

The wife of Jack Smith, the newly-appointed special counsel in the investigation into the documents former President Donald Trump brought to Mar-a-Lago at the culmination of his term, made political donations to President Joe Biden and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) throughout the years and helped produce the 2020 Michelle Obama documentary Becoming.
