Federal prosecutors accuse Hunter Biden of accepting payments from a Romanian businessman "to influence U.S. government agencies" while his father was vice president.

      What do you see as the difference that made one appointment legal and the other illegal? (Other than one is investigating a Biden and the other is investigating trump.)

          Huh, so in other words Jack Smith was appointed in the exact same manner as Nicolas Bua, Malcolm Wilkey, and Frederick Lacey.

          But, I am glad you get the silly technicality that has been rejected by every other judge who has heard this nonsensical defense.

            Jack Smith was not appointed in the same manner. When did Congress approve Jack Smith? They didn’t. That is the issue as outlined in the article.

              And Congress (I think you actually mean Senate) didn’t approve Bua, Wilkey or Lacey as special counsel. (All were appointed by Barr in the same manner as Smith.)

                Sounds like nobody challenged it or the prior courts had a different opinion.

                Cannon got this from Thomas. So I expect this to go up the court system

                  Multiple folks have challenged it, every ruling prior to this had ruled that this was a nonsense claim.

                  We both know it’s not actually a constitutional challenge, it’s a delay in the hope trump wins the presidency and can, once again, avoid repercussions for his actions.

                    SCOTUS may have a different take this one. Maybe not. To me it’s telling only Thomas wrote about it.
