WE NEED A SPECIAL COUNSEL TO INVESTIGATE THE SUPREME COURT 4.30.24 Countdown with Keith Olbermann

Apr 30, 2024
SERIES 2 EPISODE 166: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN

A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: We need a special counsel to investigate the six conservatives on the Supreme Court.

We know Harlan Crow spent thousands on Clarence Thomas – for what precise purpose We know somebody paid off Brett Kavanaugh’s debts – who? When? Why? We know Leonard Leo’s gang spent millions to put Gorsuch and the others in place – what did they get in return? We know the Trump appointees all lied to the Senate and said Roe-V-Wade was settled, then voted to overturn it – were they paid to? We know the conservatives looked at the 14th Amendment, which states when, why, and how to appeal disqualification from the ballot, and ignored the Constitution. To what end?

This is not a career move. Best bet is a senior retired prosecutor but that is part of the old boy network. Love Keith's ideas but impractical here.

There’s no conflict of interest involved for DOJ (e.g., because the court is not part of the executive branch).

There could indeed be separation of powers concerns, but a special counsel doesn’t help with that.

If DOJ thinks that someone had bribed a federal judge, no SC is required (or even available really)
