The Role of Merrick Garland in the Trump Investigations

Jack Smith was actually on loan to the International Criminal Court for a number of years he had been the Justice Department prior to that. The international laws basically just make it up as you go along and set precedent at your own whim. I think they clearly felt they had gone very awry with Robert Mueller they really expected a lot from him he delivered nothing they immediately turned on him. They were determined not to make the same mistake this time by choosing a special counsel that they knew would be very devoted to ensuring President Trump's indictment even if it meant relying on very sketching and novel legal theories.
