In a brief just filed with SCOTUS, former Reagan AG Edwin Meese asks the court to deny Jack Smith’s petition to expedite appeal because he’s a fraud – a private citizen illegally appointed by Garland & who has no more authority than Bryce Harper, Taylor Swift or Jeff Bezos. Live PD Dave

Former AG Edwin Meese has some interesting points on the appointment of Jack Smith. Saying that Merrick Garland broke the law in appointing him. “Garland cited as statutory authority for this appointment 28 U.S.C. 509, 510, 515, and 533. But none of those statutes, nor any other statutory or constitutional provisions, remotely authorized the appointment by the Attorney General of a private citizen to receive extraordinary criminal law enforcement power under the title of Special Counsel.” “Not clothed in the authority of the federal government, Smith is a modern example of the naked emperor. Improperly appointed, he has no more authority to represent the United States in this Court than Bryce Harper, Taylor Swift, or Jeff Bezos. That fact is sufficient to sink Smith’s petition, and the Court should deny review.” Bad Kitty
