Is Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office Constitutional? Unlike U.S. Attorneys, he wasn’t appointed by the President and wasn’t confirmed by the Senate. Congress never even authorized a Special Counsel office to exist. We shouldn’t pretend this position is legal or independent.
Yesterday in the Judiciary committee, I asked AG Garland if Jack Smith’s Special Counsel office is even legal, and submitted former AG Meese’s amicus brief on that topic for the record. A few hours later, Judge Cannon agreed to allow that question to be debated in the courtroom. pic.twitter.com/TedmtbkmMP
