Don't know whether to laugh or cry: Garland insisted today on how *independent* and *impartial* his pick for Special Counsel, Jack Smith, will be.

THE RIGHT DOES NOT CARE!

They are not good-faith actors!

Apppeasing them does not work!

@mehdihasan They’re not appeasing the right, they’re going for the jugular & don’t want to miss. Jack Smith released a statement today saying his appointment won’t slow the investigation. I think Garland has collected all the information, laid the groundwork & is now handing if off to this war crimes prosecutor to take down all of the conspirators. Dems may end up controlling the House after all.

@Nosuperhero @mehdihasan

let's hope you are right.

what sort of time window would you reckon for how long is reasonable here?

and if we got to the end of that time window without big deal decisions and actions happening, what would you think then?

@DrNick @mehdihasan I don’t pretend to know the extent of the various conspiracies, the countries involved or the number of compromised US officials. I do believe these investigations involve transnational crimes & potentially war crimes against the USA. The complexity of these issues take time to investigate & to build airtight win-able prosecutions.
