First, from the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 11.18.22, Mary Chastain at LI informs us Merrick Garland Appoints Special Counsel for DOJ Trump Investigations, but still, no special counsel for Hunter Biden. After Biden admitted he's doing everything possible to keep Trump from running for President. Not fishy at all.
Merrick Garland appointed Jack Smith as special counsel for the DOJ’s investigation into the files found at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago along with “key aspects of a separate probe involving the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection and efforts to undo the 2020 election.”
Has anything happened to anyone denying the 2016 election? Didn’t think so. Anyway:
The move, announced just three days after Trump formally launched his 2024 candidacy, is a recognition of the unmistakable political implications of two investigations that involve not only a former president but also a current White House hopeful.
Garland said Friday that Trump’s announcement of his presidential candidacy and President Joe Biden’s likely 2024 run were factors in his decision to appoint Jack Smith, a veteran prosecutor, to be the special counsel. Garland said the appointment would allow prosecutors to continue their work “indisputably guided” only by the facts and the law.
At NR, Attorney General Garland to Name Special Counsel in Trump Criminal Investigations. "Attorney General Merrick Garland on Friday announced plans to name a special counsel to oversee two criminal investigations into former president Donald Trump." Jan. 6 and "Souvenirgate." At Da Caller, Merrick Garland Announces Special Counsel For Mar-a-Lago, Jan. 6. John Sexton at Haut Hair, AG Garland names special counsel to handle Trump cases (and Trump responds)
“I have been going through this for six years — for six years I have been going through this, and I am not going to go through it anymore,” Trump told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview Friday shortly after the announcement. “And I hope the Republicans have the courage to fight this.”
“I have been proven innocent for six years on everything — from fake impeachments to [former special counsel Robert] Mueller who found no collusion, and now I have to do it more?” Trump said. “It is not acceptable. It is so unfair. It is so political.”
Dr. John at Flopping Aces tries to explain Why Biden sent Garland after Trump. To distract from the Republican investigation into the Biden Crime family and Democrat relations with FTX. Ace in red italics, Merrick Garland: I'm Investigating Trump For Interfering With a Peaceful Transfer of Power and Will Appoint a Special Prosecutor... Because He's Running for President. "Andrew Weismann is getting the call back up to join the majors, maybe? Nope. They want to make it look slightly more credible than that." NPR, DOJ names Jack Smith as special counsel to oversee Trump criminal investigations. Eastern District of NY, of course, which has been after Trump for 6 years with no effect. Althouse, "Trump is said to have told some allies that the idea of a special counsel infuriated him, given his experience with the length of the Mueller investigation." "He believes it could hang over him for months. Nonetheless, it might make a prosecution more distant." But that's the idea. Continual investigation, with a drip, drip, drip of damning, and often false information, "The walls are closing in, this time for realz!"

It’s a gamble that they hope they can somehow succeed at in just a few weeks before the committee is kaput." And the new Republican led house?

| Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert |
For some reason — I don’t know, I barely pay attention to this kind of stuff — Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert is the one Republican that Democrats most hoped to beat this year. And . . . nope:Democrat Adam Frisch announced Friday that he had called GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert and conceded the race for Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District.Frisch was in a hard place because one of the reasons Democrats hate Boebert is that she’s an “election denier,” which is what they call anyone who doubts that Democrats got an 81-million-vote landslide for a brain-addled septuagenarian who never left his basement during the 2020 presidential campaign. So it would have been difficult for Frisch to claim he’d been cheated in a fraudulent election — pot, meet kettle. Revenge is a dish best served cold, they say.
Although there will be an automatic recount done by the Colorado secretary of state’s office, Frisch said in a live Facebook speech that he did not ask for a recount, does not expect the results to change and does not want there to be fundraising done for an essentially fruitless cause. . .

And tell the press to “chill out.” That earns him a point or two in my book." Guy Benson at Town Hall looks forward to The Coming DeSantis Balancing Act.
