- Presidents Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton and Trump all had DOJ Special Counsels against their own admins.

- Obama & Putin didn't have.

- Biden has one on his chief rival.

So much democracying.
So... Biden's DOJ didn't need a Special Counsel to do a #BidenRaidOnTrump but it does need one NOT to charge?

Obviously, the Biden DOJ's hope/goal is for Trump to be prosecuted.

You don't need a SC not to charge after not having one yes to raid.

Use your dead brains, zombies.
AG nominee Loretta Lynch named veteran federal prosecutor Jack Smith to head the Justice Department's Public Integrity Section, which prosecutes cases involving members of Congress, state legislatures and the judiciary." - 5/8/15

He is a partisan shill from the Obama/Biden DOJ.
Via @mrddmia: "In 2010, Obama/Biden AG Eric Holder picked Jack Smith to run Public Integrity Section. Smith took out VA Gov. Bob McDonnell as a potential Republican presidential candidate--on bogus corruption charges. Supreme Court reversed, 9-0."

Russian Justice; More Paperwork
By appointing a Special Democrat ProsecutorGarland essentially acknowledges that his DOJ's action against Trump, including the #BidenRaidOnTrump 3 months ago, is tainted by political bias.

Too bad for Trump that most of the DC GOP hates him more than they love the rule of law.
The mantra of "let Mueller finish his job" yelled at the time by many Trump "allies" inclduing @TGowdySC and @LindseyGrahamSC, will be replaced by "let Smith finish his job" of dragging Trump down as Mueller did on a topic that everyone in DC knew all along is a farce.
Via @ChuckRossDC: "So the new special counsel, Jack Smith, collaborated with Lois Lerner to investigate conservative 501c4's back during the Obama years. Republicans wanted a special counsel to investigate Lerner, but never got one."

First time candidates, fully and complete Trumpian and with a big focus on 2020, essentially broke even in #AZGov and #AZAG. Yet, Never/Non-Trumpers think that this (which would tip into wins with a slight better GOTV op) proves something AGAINST Trump...

A slight better GOTV Op, and #AZGov #AZAG R in GOP hands.

Less broken machines on election day; a day where the GOP outnumbered Dems, and #AZGov, #AZAG R in GOP hands.

Less Sabotage by Anti-Trump Blackmailers, and #AZGov, #AZAG (AND #AZSen) R in GOP hands.

But cry about Trump.
I love the GOPs/Cons who decry Trump's focus on 2020 but then those same folks keep whining how AZ and other states have the same election day/vote counting issues that Trump complained about and wanted corrected, yet you told him to move on.

Make up your mind, folks.

The most Trumpian/2020-election focused statewide candidate lost by 25K votes among 2.57 million given.

I am sure it proves right all your hot takes about Biden, Trump, 2020, inflation, democracy, abortion.

Oh, plenty GOPs voted Dems to own Trump so it proves 2 X 0, clowns.
This candidate, @KariLake, won 48% of the GOP Primary vote. By attacking her as a "Trump Candidate," U R saying that 48% of GOP AZ Primary voters are dumb idiots who if not for Trump would choose a candidate of quality.

Ya. Being condescending to your own base is a winner!
Lake's loss in AZ is narrow enough to be put at the feet of GOP voters who are willing to blow up winnable races just to own Trump. This shtick can be done to DeSantis too, so how does this prove a deficiency in "Trump Candidates"?

"Candidate Quality" is the buzzword that the Gulag Guards told the inmates about after breakfast was denied.

The prisoners turn on each other thinking they stand a chance if only they behaved better.

Dems can take out anyone with the same ease; regardless of "quality."
"They lost because they spoke about 2020," say the Gulag Guards who won the House, White House and Senate after spending years investigating the legitimacy of the 2016 elections.

The Gulag Guards who spent 72 hours talking about Trump's fitness for office and the need to trigger the 25th after his slow walk down a ramp at West Point, R convincing the inmates that Fetterman's health was a plus for him.

I am sure that would be the talk if he were a GOPer.

1/5 Kemp signed new election laws into place following the 2020 elections (meaning, it was predicated on 2020 having issues) and his opponent was @staceyabrams; hardly a bad candidate.

Yet, Kemp won by a margin of 7.6!

This blows up two major talking points about the midterms:
2/5 One being that talking/acting on claims regarding 2020 is a loser. The other: Candidate quality. (Fetterman won. High quality 🤓).

But hey Narratives live on even if there aren't facts to back it such as Clinton's 1992 win being due to the line "It's the economy, stupid."
3/5 Clinton won only 43% of the popular vote in 1992; that's less than the 45% Dem Dukakis won in 1988 when the Reagan/Bush economy was booming. Only diff is that 45% in 1988 was not enough to win but it was in 1992 due to the split on the center/center-right among Bush/Perot.

#NY17 was a GOP flip; #NY18 a Dem hold both due to voters who Orthodox Jewish. #NY19 was a GOP flip due in part to Orthodox Jews.

Trump won 90% of this vote in 2020

Anyone who thinks running from Trump helps @HouseGOP's is clueless. It's passive at best; a negative at worst.
IN FACT: Trump's work on prison reform and his overall friendly approach to Orthodox Jews were used in favor of Republicans; certainly in #NY17. A leading Grand Rabbi in one of these districts criticized his flock post election as to how Trumpism overtook the Orthodox community!
In fact, Thursday AM, @lawler4ny (who won by a few thousand votes due to HUGE support among Orthodox Jews) said on CNN that the GOP should move on from Trump in '24.

At night he was at a Kosher Deli. He took incoming for saying it.

I was there. I heard it. From many people.

A decade ago, Republicans were divorced from their last GOP POTUS (Bush). He didn't appear at the convention and his name was almost not mentioned.

Now Republicans do it with Trump.

All they have is Reagan who never had the House; left GOP with less Senate seats than Trump did.
These idiots are such Republicans that they buy whatever garbage the gulag guards tell them and they turn on each other instead of on the guards with the hope that the guards will be nice and fair to them. It's going on for decades.

Sad.
Many of those who ran from Bush in 2012 and are calling for the GOP to run from Trump, supported Jeb BUSH for the 2016 nomination.
