    Did judge Cannon decide that special counsels were actually illegal? So why do we care? And if we do care about this special counsel shouldn’t we also care about the one charging trump about all those classified documents?

      No, that isn’t what she said at all. Not all special counsels are illegal. It is that Jack Smith was not appointed properly that made it illegal.

        And that way, without Senate confirmation, is the same way in which David Weiss was appointed special counsel in the Hunter Biden case.

        So, are you defending/citing the work of an illegal appointee? And if so, shouldn’t we also care about Jack Smith’s charges?

            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.

    That Romanian oligarch needs to get a new HR department if he thinks Hunter will influence anything other than a bottle of Scotch and straw in his nostril
