The former president is back in the news due to more legal troubles, including a motion for sanctions in New York, renewed investigations by the Manhattan DA, an FBI investigation into his mishandling of sensitive materials after leaving office, and cooperation by some of his family members with the January 6 Committee.
Can a special prosecutor continue to investigate and prosecute should a Republican win the Presidency in 2024 and appoint a new AttorneyGeneral. It seems that Mueller was ineffective ultimately as an “unwanted” special prosecutor. Thank you.
I believe he wrapped up his investigation saying there was no voter fraud. That's it. We knew that. Everyone knew that. Trump knew that. But he doesn't care, because we all are subsidizing the ruse. We need to make sure he pays for these phony investigations. Watch how quickly they'd end.
My undestanding is that Durham is insinuating a narrow technical "case" against lawywer Michael Sussmann. I have not followed the Docket, but Durham's "case" appears to be vulnerable to pre-trial motion(s).
He will get away with it for two main reasons: 1). There is no precedent (or stomach) for prosecuting a president (pun intended), and 2). "Rule of Law" principle that supposedly applies to EVERYONE, really has limits for some (the rich, powerful, well-connected, moneyed, and able to drag the government or other party down with endless delays), but NO limits for other (most of the law-abiding or other) citizens.
How this man continues to escape and consequences for his criminality is beyond me, money really does make a difference there is no hope he will ever see consequences for his treachery.
Correct! He is more likely to die of a stroke within two years than ever be prosecuted for the tiniest fraction of which you and I would have gone to prison for decades.
I have run out of hope that Trump will be tried for anything. I just don't see it, and that's been the story of Trump's life. He is made of Teflon!
On admissions of guilt, see, Lee v US, 343 U.S 747. The "blabbibg" is defintely agaist TFG's penal interest.

Yes, Deborah. See a Congressional Research Service (CRS) essay: "Special Counsel: Investigations History, Authority, Appointment & Removal".
Mueller rendered himself ineffective.
John Durham appointed by Barr is running around doing something.
