Legal trouble is looming over former President Donald Trump following the explosive appointment of a special counsel to weigh criminal charges against him Friday, according to a slew of legal experts.
Experts think the 2024 contender is in trouble after Attorney General Merrick Garland announced the appointment of war crimes prosecutors Jack Smith to determine if criminal charges should be levied against Trump for his actions pertaining to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot or document hoarding at Mar-a-Lago.
— Ron Filipkowski 🇺🇦 November 18, 2022 "My hot take: No need for Garland to appoint a special counsel unless you're going to indict," MSNBC anchor and legal analyst Katie Phang surmised. "The end result will likely be a Trump indictment. A trial before the election is likely, but Smith's appointment makes this more likely to outlast the Biden presidency," he later added in a Twitter thread.
So Garland will appoint yet another special counsel to harass Trump while refusing to appoint a special counsel on Hunter/Joe Biden criminal investigation. This unequal application of the law is corrupt. https://t.co/DhNOMvk6fH Ironically, by announcing a Special Counsel this late in the game Garland just made it more likely that any potential prosecution of Trump will bleed into the 2024 general election season.
After former special counsel Robert Mueller wrapped up his Russia investigation, then-Attorney General William Barr ultimately opted not to bring charges against the then-sitting president. In a similar fashion, Garland will wind up being the ultimate arbiter with Smith as a cudgel to lean on, federal prosecutor Richard Signorelli explained.
