It will not take a long time for Jack Smith to be briefed on the secret document investigation.

2. The problem with indicting Trump

under the Espionage Act and obstruction of justice for the government documents he stole has nothing to do with evidence, the evidence is there. Seditious conspiracy is much more difficult to prove and I don't really care if Trump is ever indicted for that.

If Jack Smith is not hiring his own team but is simply being the boss of the current team at DOJ, how does this make the investigations into Trump less partisan, Merrick Garland still has the final say? Are we saying that Jack Smith is less partisan than Merrick Garland? There isn't a partisan bone in Merrick Garland's body.

Are we saying that Jack Smith is more qualified than Merrick Garland to decide whether to indict Trump or not? This whole procedure of appointing a special counsel confuses me, sorry. Neal Katyal wrote the regulations for when it is proper to use a special counsel and he flat out said that the conditions do not exist for its use.

Now that we have Jack Smith in charge of recommending to Merrick Garland whether or not to indict Trump I could not be happier. If Laurence Tribe is on board that's good enough for me.

As an aside, will Trump have the recourse to challenge the appointment of the special counsel in the courts? I sure the fuck hope he doesn't have that option or we will be into 2027 for a Trump trial.
