Essay by Dick Berkowitz
STAY TUNED, IT IS TRUMP'S TO LOSE
THE PROGRESSIVE MONKEYS ARE ENGAGED IN PROJECTING THEIR SHRILL MESSAGING AND ARE COMING OUT OF THE TREES. THEY ARE CAMPAIGNING BY SCARING AMERICAN VOTERS WITH WHAT THEY THEMSELVES HAVE BEEN DOING. THEY HAVE BEEN JAILING TRUMP SUPPORTERS, THEY HAVE BEEN DESTROYING OUR DEMOCRACY, THEY HAVE BEEN ALLOWING ILLEGALS TO FLOOD OUR NATION AND MURDER INNOCENT AMERICAN CITIZENS. THE LIST OF ACTIVITIES HAS TURNED AMERICA INTO BOTH THE LAUGHING STOCK OF THE WORLD AS WELL AS A LAWLESS 3 RD WORLD SOCIETY/NATION.
THE BABOONS FROM CNN, CNBC, MNBC ARE LYING , THEY ARE CLAIMING TRUMP IS GOING TO ATTACK THEM, JAIL THEM AND, AGAN, THE LIST OF THEIR ACCUSATIONS ARE ENDLESS AND TOTALLY WITHOUT ANY BELIEVABLE EVIDENCE.
WE ALREADY HAVE EVIDENCE OF TRUMP AS PRESIDENT FOR FOUR YEARS AND HE DID NOTHING OF WHAT THEY SAY. THEY ARE SIMPLY SEEKING TO SCARE VOTERS. HIS RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENTS, AGAINST ALL EFFORTS TO DESTROY HIS EFFORTS/ADMINISTRATION, SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.
AS FOR THE POLLS, I BELIEVE THEY TOO WILL PROVE TO BE TOTALLY MISLEADING. MOST AMERICAN VOTERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TRUMP VERSUS BIDEN YEARS. THEY ARE NOT THE FOOLS THE MASS MEDIA PORTRAYS THEM TO BE AS THEY CIRCLE THE WAGONS TO PROTECT THEIR CHOICE. WHY? I BELIEVE IT IS BECAUSE MOST OF THOSE WHO COMPRISE THE MASS MEDIA TODAY ARE NOT ONLY UNTRUSTWORTHY BUT ARE NEO-MARXISTS. THEY WANT TO DESTROY THIS COUNTRY.
HEY KNOW THE OPPORTUNITY TO ACCOMPLISH THIS NEFARIOUS GOAL IS TO SHOVE JOE DOWN OUR THROATS BY RE-ELECTING THIS FRAIL, TOTALLY INCOMPETENT GHOST OF A PRESIDENT AND SPREAD DISCORD. A STRONG AMERICA IS THEIR WORST ENEMY BECAUSE IT IS THE BEST HOPE A FREE WORLD HAS TO STAND AGAINST THE INCREASING POWER /THREAT FROM CHINA, RUSSIA, N KOREA AND IRAN AS THEY LINK ARMS AGAINST THE WEST.
FINALLY, I BELIEVE BIDEN HAS BEGUN THE 3 RD WORLD WAR THROUGH HIS FECKLESS AND MISGUIDED WEAK KNEE POLICIES. YOU CANNOT FEED BULLIES.
IT IS OBVIOUS TO ALL WHO LOOK OBJECTIVELY THE DEMOCRATS ARE CONFLICTED. THEY ARE STUCK WITH JOE AND HAVE FEW COMPETENT REPLACEMENTS AND ANY DECISION TO BRIBE KAMALA, IE. BECOME GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA, COULD FAIL OR BE MET WITH POWERFUL RESISTANCE BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN AND BLACK.
STAY TUNED, IT IS TRUMP'S TO LOSE.

NO MORE SPECIAL COUNSELS
BY WILLIAM MC GURN
Now that Hunter Biden has been convicted of federal gun felonies and awaits another trial on tax charges, can we all agree the special counsel is a bad idea?
Bipartisan agreement on this kind of thing is possible. It’s happened before, with the independent counsel. Like so many other malignant ideas, the independent counsel law emerged in the Jimmy Carter era as a “reform” in response to Watergate. Democrats were gung-ho when they saw it deployed against Republicans, notably by Lawrence Walsh in his six-year, $47 million Iran-Contra investigation of the Reagan administration.
But once they saw that the sauce for the goose could easily be poured on the gander—Kenneth Starr’s Whitewater investigation of the Clintons—Washington was ready to let the statute expire. And it did, in 1999.
In its place is today’s pared-down special counsel, which is mostly free from the constitutional defects of the independent counsel that Justice Antonin Scalia identified in his famous dissent in Morrison v. Olson (1988). The chief difference is that the special counsel is appointed by and reports to the attorney general. In practice, however, flaws remain—primarily the way special counsels undermine the real check on government, which is political accountability.
“The special-counsel regulations create an impression that the attorney general neither has any discretion whether to initiate a given investigation nor control over how such an investigation unfolds,” says David Rivkin, a constitutional lawyer who has served in the Justice Department and White House Counsel’s Office. “This outsourcing inevitably diminishes how the American people perceive the attorney general’s accountability, which is particularly problematic, given that special counsel cases are by definition politically sensitive.”
Certainly special counsel David Weiss won big when he successfully prosecuted Hunter Biden, convicting him on three felonies related to his lying on a federal gun form. Mr. Weiss also appears to have a strong case against the president’s son heading into his trial on tax charges, which begins on Sept. 5 in Los Angeles.
But there’s also a good argument that Attorney General Merrick Garland named Mr. Weiss special counsel as a way to protect the president and his administration from Hunter. “Making Weiss a special counsel was a deceit to try to con the public into believing the Biden Justice Department was not obstructing a real Biden investigation,” says former assistant U.S. attorney Andrew C. McCarthy.
Mr. McCarthy points out that the gun crimes took place in Mr. Weiss’s Delaware district and the case was basically a slam dunk. It didn’t require a special counsel. It went to trial only because Mr. Weiss couldn’t answer basic questions from U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika about the Rube Goldberg sweetheart deal he’d struck with Hunter. This also came in the aftermath of testimony to Congress by two Internal Revenue Service whistleblowers who said that officials at the Justice Department had interfered with their investigation.
In this context, the charges against Hunter were more about rescuing Mr. Weiss’s reputation and letting Mr. Garland wash his hands of the whole thing. The evidence on the gun purchase hasn’t significantly changed. So why did Mr. Weiss wait five years to seek an indictment? While we’re at it, Mr. Weiss also hasn’t explained why he let the statute of limitations expire on the most serious tax charges.
Unfortunately, siccing a special counsel on a political enemy has become the go-to fix in Washington. Any number of Republicans called for a special counsel for Hunter because of their correct suspicions that Mr. Garland was protecting the president. But they didn’t expect it would be Mr. Weiss, whom Donald Trump’s attorney general, William Barr, had originally tapped to investigate Hunter’s financial dealings. Thus the U.S. attorney who had gummed up the investigation in the first place was rewarded with enhanced powers.
As Mr. McCarthy points out, if a special counsel is truly “special”—i.e., not accountable to the president like every other executive branch employee—the post is constitutionally suspect. If he isn’t special, why is he an improvement over any capable U.S. attorney?
The only advantages of a special counsel are ones that should be discouraged. The Inspector Javert-like focus on a single target or set of targets lends itself to investigations that go on much longer than they should, spend more public funds than they ought, and stray far from their original mandates. Alas Democrats tend to be all for it when that target is a Republican, and Republicans feel the same when the target is a Democrat.
“The occasionally positive outcome does not cure a strategically flawed special counsel process,” Mr. Rivkin says. “The special-counsel institution is tremendously harmful, not much better than independent counsels before them,” he says. “Because it substitutes a politicized criminal process for what should be a transparent and accountable handling of politically sensitive issues.”
