          The person who has the last say on the Special Counsels appointment is the AG. Learn about how your own government works before spouting off idiotic nonsense.

          Jack Smith is a special counsel. He was appointed by the Attorney General. That’s how those appointments work. Was Robert Hurr being appointed to investigate biden classified documents illegal? Was John Durham’s appointment for investigating the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation illegal? None of the special counsels in recent history have been appointed by the president or approved by the senate because that’s not what a special counsel is. It is a DoJ job appointed by the Attoryney general or, if the attorney general has recused himself, the assistant attorney general.

        Also gotta love the idea that storing our most restrictive secrets in his bathroom and wantonly telling people about them is “good for America.”

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Former President Donald Trump’s classified documents charges have been dismissed.

    Federal judge Aileen Cannon overseeing the case issued the order on the grounds that special counsel Jack Smith was not properly appointed, a new legal filing on Monday morning showed.

    This is a breaking story.
