Now they're talking about investigating Jack Smith and his prosecution investigation.

GOPers won't join a legitimate investigation but they will certainly spin the findings to hell and then seek revenge and more revisionary spin and spend TP money on a farce investigation of the investigation.

If that's not malfeasance, weaponization of the powers of office, the rule of law, lawfare, I don't know what is.

Story by Katelynn Richardson • 23h • 3 min read

There is question as to whether the appointment was legal.

If it and his actions were within the law…no worries.

you don't mean the jan6th investigation, where nancy refused the appointees by the GOP, and seated her own candidates? THAT legitimate investigation?

The republican candidates she anointed got themselves unelected - all due to the belief in fiction and spin by those who voted them out..

As I recall GOPers like Gym Jordon were appointees by the GOP. Their mission was to disrupt rather than discover.

The GOPers had their chance with the impeachment and showed their colors.

Pelosi refused because she wanted a real investigation rather that some farce like the Benghazi investigations.

And the GOP investigated the investigation of the 1/6 committee too, determined to flip or taint the script. SOS.

There is the underlying assumption that GOPers respect the law.

I think we can rule that out by now.

These investigations by GOPers are consistent with their other goals of attacking the rule of law. It's a transparent fascist farce.

Correct. The horse doctor is weak-minded and a brainwashed dipshit, but he knows god damned well that the GOP is a cult. This is mike the idea of bringing retired Generals back in order to court martial them for withdrawing from Afghanistan. Theater of the shit for brained.

So, yes Jeffee, that's what a fascist regime would say.

In the cases against DJT the evidence that we know supporting the probable cause and for the indictments is strong.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exculpatory_evidence
Real Exculpatory Evidence is scant.

In each case the ploy is/was to attack the investigator personally and the evidence in general with a lot of look-over-there, what-about-them, plus enormous spin and lies and delay with lawfare. The Georgia case is a good example.

The GOPers are good at it. When you have no exculpatory evidence what's a good GOPer to do, other than lie and distract, and foment belief in fiction?

And besides, this attack on the investigation and the investigators is just one front. There are multiple fronts. For a fascist regime to work, the attack on institutions must include the rule of law foremost but the press is also top of the list.

Anyway, here are some articles of explanation:

So, yes Jeffee, that's what a fascist regime would say.

you know, you and naki don't actually READ and THINK about your links, right?

from YOUR link, the word facism is only referenced as a "see also"

but here's some interesting quotes from the link

quote:

State socialism broadly refers to forms of socialism based on state ownership of the means of production and state-directed allocation of resources. It is often used in reference to Soviet-type economic systems of former communist states and, by extension, those of North Korea, Cuba, and the People's Republic of China.

quote:

Economic statism promotes the view that the state has a major, necessary and legitimate role in directing the major aspects of the economy, either directly through state-owned enterprises and economic planning of production, or indirectly through economic interventionism and macro-economic regulation.[13]

quote:

State capitalism is a form of capitalism that features high concentrations of state-owned commercial enterprises or state direction of an economy based on the accumulation of capital, wage labor and market allocation.

In some cases, state capitalism refers to economic policies such as dirigisme, which existed in France during the second half of the 20th century and to the present-day economies of the People's Republic of China and Singapore, where the government owns controlling shares in publicly traded companies.[14] Some authors also define the former economies of the Eastern Bloc and Soviet Union as constituting a form of state capitalism.

quote:

Politically, state socialism is often used to designate any socialist political ideology or movement that advocates for the use of state power for the construction of socialism, or to the belief that the state must be appropriated and used to ensure the success of a socialist revolution. It is usually used in reference to Marxist–Leninist socialists who champion a one-party state.

quote:

In the East Asian cultural sphere, including China, "state nationalism" and "statism" are both written as 國家主義,[a]

quote:

from YOUR link, the word facism [sic] is only referenced as a "see also"

Not true.

Quote from the article: State nationalism, state-based nationalism, or state-led nationalism[17] is a nationalism that equates 'state identity' with 'nation identity' or values state authority. 'State nationalism' is considered a form of 'civic nationalism' and there are similarities between the two,[18][19][20] but this also has to do with illiberal, authoritarian and totalitarian politics; Italian fascism is the best example
