28 CFR § 600.1 – Grounds for appointing a Special Counsel.

§ 600.1 Grounds for appointing a Special Counsel.
The Attorney General, or in cases in which the Attorney General is recused, the Acting Attorney General, will appoint a Special Counsel when he or she determines that criminal investigation of a person or matter is warranted and –

(a) That investigation or prosecution of that person or matter by a United States Attorney’s Office or litigating Division of the Department of Justice would present a conflict of interest for the Department or other extraordinary circumstances; and

(b) That under the circumstances, it would be in the public interest to appoint an outside Special Counsel to assume responsibility for the matter.

So, is Attorney General Merrick Garland going to appoint a Special Counsel? Just asking.

Now what, Mark (r)? (January 24, 2023)

If only you had waited for 24 hours, Eric (r).

On Tuesday:

Eric Schmitt @Eric_Schmitt
Setting the over/under on classified documents “discovered” at one of Joe Biden’s houses this week at 6.

What do ya got?
11:56 AM · Jan 23, 2023

What do ya got? A really unserious junior senator.

Some of the responses:

Setting the over/under on classified documents discovered on Trump properties if given the same level of access as Biden is giving the DOJ at 1200.

What do ya got?

Heh.

With or without obstruction charges? Both are egregious but one ex president really went the extra mile.

I’d rather you resign so we can have a more serious person representing Missouri in the U.S. Senate.

Well I got the fact that when Trump had hundreds of documents and willfully kept them your response was dismantle the government.

There’s that.

According to trump it’s ok to do this so don’t complain.

Nothing compared to the HUNDREDS of docs in Trump’s possession. Guess you are too busy spreading crap than doing your job

Why have you never once mentioned the hundreds of classified documents taken by your Orange god?? #Hypocrisy

We should set an over/under on you getting a second term. That’s something that I’d place a bet on.

Way less than your cult leader.

Were you upset when stolen top secret documents were found at trumpo’s home? If you didn’t say anything then, sit down and shut up. Effing hypocrite.

Another useless Senator from Missouri is what I got.

Well, the other one lives in Virginia.

I got an embarrassing senator…

Do you ever do anything constructive or how about some work for Missourians, no you just spend your time trying to stir up hate fear and anger

I raise you discovery at Mike Pence!

Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner!

Save this tweet [….]

Heh.

Probably about the same number that they found in Pence’s house.

You’re fucking hilarious!

Maybe wasting time playing on Twitter wasn’t why taxpayers voted for you.

How about you stop embarrassing us in Missouri for once. Just shut your damn mouth. Where was your outrage over Trump’s classified docs?

Or Mike Pence (r)?

To be a fly on Mike Pence’s (r) hair helmet.

Mike Pence, right wingnuts, the fly

I went through my house to check for any classified documents. All I found was this hat:

Go figure.

Is Mike in or out?

It’s really hard to tell with the cult these days.

This afternoon in northwestern Missouri:

Still there.

Maybe they all forgot about January 6, 2021.

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…

debate, Kamala Harris, Mike Pence, Vice President

For the debate win:

Kamala Harris (D) [2019 file photo].

Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg
So proud of @KamalaHarris tonight.

She powerfully made the case for why we must end the chaos and restore decency by electing Joe Biden.

It was reality vs fantasy on health care, the economy, Covid, racial justice, climate and so much more.

We’re going to win this.
10:00 PM · Oct 7, 2020

The fly came in second. Mike Pence was atrocious. Mike Pence didn’t answer questions.

Mother Pence (r) didn’t wear her mask on stage. Contrary to the rules.

The moderator was useless. The final question was gaslighting writ large.

From the Biden/Harris campaign – rapid response:

Joe Biden @JoeBiden
Pitch in $5 to help this campaign fly.

9:33 PM · Oct 7, 2020

Jason Kander @JasonKander
That fly was in Pence’s hair a long time. It should quarantine.

Telling us all we need to know.

38% of Americans are irredeemably stupid

Anyone remember Ayds?

…38% of American beer drinkers surveyed this week said they wouldn’t buy Corona ‘under any circumstances’ at the moment. It’s worth noting that, among regular Corona drinkers, only 4% said they would now refrain. Yet 14% of the Corona drinkers admitted they would not order the brand in a public place, found the survey, conducted by 5W Public Relations. Sixteen percent of the beer drinkers surveyed by 5W were confused about whether Corona beer is related to the coronavirus, according to the publicity agency…

And, through official channels:

U.S. Surgeon General @Surgeon_General
Seriously people- STOP BUYING MASKS!

They are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus, but if healthcare providers can’t get them to care for sick patients, it puts them and our communities at risk!
[….]
6:08 AM · Feb 29, 2020

Think about that for a second. We’re told masks aren’t effective for the general public, but there’s a shortage, so we need them for our health care workers, because masks are effective.

The Surgeon General of the United States obviously believes the American people are irredeemably stupid.

Dr. Jerome Adams is the 20th Surgeon General of the United States….Dr. Adams is also the former Health Commissioner of Indiana, where he led the State’s responses to Ebola, Zika, and to the largest ever HIV outbreak in the United States related to injection drug use….

Current Vice President and former Indiana Governor Mike Pence (r) is “in charge”. None of this inspires confidence.

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…
