Perhaps Trump made a mistake appointing him as a US Attorney.
However, one issue here might get interesting...if Weiss is a current US attorney and employed by the DOJ, should he be a Special Counsel? Always thought the point of being a Special Counsel meant being outside the DOJ? Once an idiot, always an idiot. If private citizen HB needs a Special Counsel, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump most CERTAINLY do. Saudi Prince Mohammed Bin Salman bragged in March of 2018 that Trump's Middle East envoy Jared Kushner was, "in his pocket." |

Guess we'll find out. Been saying for a long while that the HB case was a poster child for a Special Counsel. And I'm not complaining that one has finally been named.
However, one issue here might get interesting...if Weiss is a current US attorney and employed by the DOJ, should he be a Special Counsel? Always thought the point of being a Special Counsel meant being outside the DOJ? Not sure, and I'm just guessing, but I think the term 'special counsel' is about jurisdiction more than agency. The argument a few months ago, if you recall, was that as a SC, Weiss would have had authority in any district in the country and not just his district. Mueller, OTOH, was a 'special prosecutor', not a 'special counsel'...Perhaps that is the distinction. Again...just guessing. Have always thought that special counsel and special prosecutor are used interchangeably. |

Have always thought that special counsel and special prosecutor are used interchangeably. I did some digging since that last post. You are correct. Technically Mueller was a special counsel as well, though the media called him a SP. I have not found anything yet that allows Weiss to be a SC and keep his day job. Nobody is jumpin' and shoutin' about it though...Very peculiar... |

I don't expect Trump to understand, but generally speaking Americans don't enjoy seeing their leaders getting cozy with murdering dictators. Strange ain't it? It doesn't surprise me at all that Trump got along well with Putin. |

Yes, one of many oddities about Trump's MAGA cult is that Trump's warm relationship with dictators like Putin and Kim Jong Un never bothered them.
It didn't even bother those MAGA blockheads when Trump praised Al Capone.

I have zero doubt that Trump envies his buddies' (Putin, Kim etc) power to have their enemies killed...and zero doubt that he'd use that power if he had it. |

The sad part is that even if he started shooting his political opponents, redhats would still support him. They have already shown us that, and even boast of their desire to vote for a felon for POTUS. Newsmax will argue it was justified, Breitbart will say it was necessary and Turley will argue it was legal. Done. |
