As I noted on the failing bird, Garland's cited recent developments, plural, in appointing a Special Counsel yesterday.

The more urgent development is probably the GOP majority in Congress, not Trump.

We know, eg, that Scott Perry is almost certainly a subject of the investigation (they already seized his phone). If Jim Jordan is, too, that by itself would require the SCO, since Jordan will be HJC Chair demanding info on investigation.

@emptywheel This is the most sensible thing I've read about the SC appointment yet.

And thanks for posting it here instead of just on the nurs bird site. I'll be avoiding that place once he returns but don't want to miss content like this
