The Department of Justice is apparently considering appointing a special counsel to supervise its investigations of Donald Trump if the former president decides to run again in 2024.

Trump can’t resist terrorizing, er I mean alluding that he might run again and hopes to gain the Republican presidential nomination again, CNN reports. Some believe he’ll kick his campaign off during the third week of November, The Independent reports.

But the DOJ apparently hasn’t made a decision on the necessity of a special counsel “in the unprecedented event it decides to prosecute a former president and active candidate,” per The Independent.

Officials are trying to figure out how a special counsel could protect the DOJ from allegations that the Biden administration is acting against a political foe during the midterms, sources told CNN.

Traditionally, the Justice Department has gone quiet in the weeks leading up to the November elections.

However, CNN also reports that federal investigators are ginning up for “a burst of post-election activity in Trump-related investigations.”

“They can crank up charges on almost anybody if they wanted to,” one defense attorney who is working on January 6 related issues told CNN.

The attorney also said lawyers “have no idea” who is going to be charged by federal prosecutors and added, “this is the scary thing.”

Trump is, of course, facing a spate of investigations. He’s being investigated by federal prosecutors over his efforts to overturn the 2020 election, which he still falsely claims he won against Joe Biden.

The former president and his cronies are also under investigation for their attempts to overturn Georgia election results by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. And of course, a grand jury is also investigating Trump’s handling of federal documents, some of which were marked “classified,” at Mar-a-Lago, his Palm Beach, Florida home. Trump adviser Kash Patel has been granted immunity to testify before the grand jury.

We have all been patiently waiting for the outcome of these investigations. The DOJ is juggling so many probes that it is to be hoped none of them get dropped after the midterm elections.
