"SNIP.......

Donald Trump blasted the Justice Department’s appointment of a special counsel to take over investigations related to presidential records and Jan. 6, telling Fox News he “won’t partake in it” and calling it “the worst politicization of justice in our country.”

Said Trump: “I have been going through this for six years — for six years I have been going through this, and I am not going to go through it anymore. And I hope the Republicans have the courage to fight this.”

He added: “It is not acceptable. It is so unfair. It is so political.”

.......SNIP"

who actually should never have even been a special counsel because they are not supposed to currently be in the Justice department. He was in the DoJ until Biden kicked him to the curb (which incoming Presidents do with US Attorneys).

that it does not matter that he says he is not going through this anymore.

This is just more proof that this creep knows nothing about how any of this works and lacks the care to step back and ask before he blows crap out of that stupid mouth of his.

One would reasonably conclude that if it's been going on for 6 years, one doesn't get to decide.
But, smart or logical he is not.

Must be nice to live in the conservative bubble and have pundits do all your thinking for you and not have any personal accountability whatsoever.
