  What do you see as the difference that made one appointment legal and the other illegal? (Other than one is investigating a Biden and the other is investigating trump.)

    Yes I see the differences. One was a government employee appointed and confirmed in the proper channels. The other was not.

      Huh, so in other words Jack Smith was appointed in the exact same manner as Nicolas Bua, Malcolm Wilkey, and Frederick Lacey.

      But, I am glad you get the silly technicality that has been rejected by every other judge who has heard this nonsensical defense.

        Jack Smith was not appointed in the same manner. When did Congress approve Jack Smith? They didn’t. That is the issue as outlined in the article.
