What if Jack Smith reports like Robert Muller did

[H2O Man]

20. Unlikely ......

I'm cranky as hell today. Took a hard fall on Sunday, doctor's for a long appointment. I feel like a rabid dog chasing my tail in a furious slow-motion savage assault.

Barr was enforcing a policy (distinct from law) that a sitting president can't be indicted. Mueller was not going to challenge him, as Barr would have fired him, and hid his findings -- which he had the authority to do. Thus, Mueller made a strong case for impeachment, although in this case, it never came to be.

The defendent is now an ex-president. Although it has never been done before, there is no policy and again, no law, that restrains the DOJ from indicting an ex-president. While it is technically possible for the House to impeach & the Senate to convict the defendent, that obviously is not going to happen.

There are very few here -- or nationally -- who had heard of Jack Smith before he was appointed to his current position. But those of us who were familiar with him knew the A.G. had made a wise choice. Garland didn't draw a name out of a hat. I'm sure you saw reports yesterday that the defendent's legal team requested a meeting with the A.G. to beg him to instruct Smith to lay off the defendent. From this, we can speculate -- with "informed speculation" -- that this was their reaction to a notification from Smith about the defendent's status. And we can be absolutely certain it was not because they fear a mere report.
