In reply to the discussion: Trump classified documents case dismissed by Judge Aileen Cannon over special counsel appointment [View all]thatdemguy
(603 posts)He was nominated by trump to be an AG in Delaware. Biden did not replace him, so he carried over under President Biden.
He was then made special council by Garland, but at that point he was an appointed and approved AG. AG's job is to prosecute criminals and appointed and approved by congress to do so. Vs jack smith who was not.
If you ask me Garland screwed up ( again ) and did not pick an existing AG to be special council. We can add this to the list of things Garland has dropped the ball on, including releasing robert hur's report.
I do find it kind of funny that Garland also appointed hur as special council to look at Biden's classified document case, as Hur was no longer an appointed AG as he had resigned. So even if hur had found enough reason to go after Pres Biden for it, under this ruling by cannon it would have been tossed out as well.
