AG Merrick Garland appoints a special counsel to investigate Trump's crimes. Will justice EVER come?

Two years after Donald Trump set the date for, orchestrated, and incited an attack on the US Capitol in an attempt to stop the certification of Joe Biden's election win, Attorney General Merrick Garland just now appointed a special counsel, Jack Smith, to serve as special counsel to investigate and, if charged, prosecute Trump.

Yep. He should do the right thing: Resign. Justice matters. Nov 2022 #9

I think the SC is for one thing, to give Garland cover for vindicating Trump. nt doc03 Nov 2022 #7

Mueller's report listed at least five points of obstructive conduct that would have gotten anyone else indicted. In fact, there was a letter signed by 1,000 former prosecutors saying so. Instead, they were never heard from again. New squirrels were pointed to and here we are again.
