    Jack Smith wasn’t appointed by the President and wasn’t confirmed by the Senate. That’s the reason for the dismissal. It was obviously just a partisan hit job

      Where the fuck in the constitution is there a stipulation that a prosecutor in the executive branch has to be confirmed by the senate? You people can’t keep your shit straight with your “unitary executive” wet dream. Worthless traitor garbage.

        No you don’t understand. Commenter was told these talking points. There’s no “thinking” happening here. 🐑

      A judge that Trump appointed throwing out a case against Trump is ruling based on partisan politics.

      Special prosecutors have been allowed through legal cases for 30 years now at least. They are settled law. Hell, they used one on Hunter Biden recently I believe.

        The fact that something deemed unconditional has happened a lot before doesn’t justify it as constitutional. Only text can do that.

          Congress passed a law deligating the power to the AG. There was a congressional vote to put that law into place. Congress doesn’t need to vote on every police officer that the president hires do they?

      It was an OFFICIAL ACT OF THE PRESIDENCY and therefore LEGAL according to the Supreme Court!
