Monday's Marvelous Absurdities: Will Special Counsels Decide the Presidency in 2024?

If nothing else, the decision by hopelessly corrupt Attorney General Merrick Garland to appoint special counsels to “investigate” the classified documents scandals of one ex-president who is running for the presidency in 2024, and a sitting sort-of president who seems likely to do the same creates a unique situation in American history.

It’s a situation in which these special counsels and their operations could, if they choose, heavily influence the outcomes of the nominating processes of both major parties and the 2024 general election. It all depends on how they decide to conduct themselves in their assigments.

I’ve written many times in the past about the lack of any real sidebars whatsoever placed by law or administrative control on these special counsels. Once appointed, these men - they’ve all invariably been men, after all (white men, if you’re keeping score) - are free to “investigate” any old thing they want to explore.

While they do have a “charge” given to them by the appointing attorney general, that is just for show. In reality, both current special counsels will easily be able to deploy whatever leaps of logic and disregard for common sense they need to make up fake links between Biden’s or Trump’s illegally-kept classified documents and any other area of their lives the counsels and their evil minions wish to explore.

We need to understand that any special counsel is just a specific type of bureaucrat. As with any bureaucrat, their driving motivation is always to expand and perpetuate their jobs.
