Special councils have been lawful for a century.

Her doing this though... it might just get her removed from the case. Which would lead to an actual Impartial Judge being put in.
Like the Democrat judge and Persecuting Attorney in Trumps trumped up ( pardon the pun) charges in New York?

Yep as long it is done legally by POTUS appointing and the Congress confirming or using an acting senate confirmed prosecutor within the congressional budget

You should read the Thomas immunity decision, it will never be reversed it maybe resurrected when legal authority is confirmed

You mean the part where he brings up the special council when it's not even PART of that case what so ever?

Where by doing so he's gone against ALL SCOTUS precedent?

What Cannon just did will be taken to the local Appeals and hopefully they'll tell her she's full of shit, the SC was lawful and then maybe finally Jack Smith will do something about her obvious deference to Trump. And sure, it'll make it's way to the SCOTUS, and who knows what'll happen then.

But if SCOTUS DOES rule that actually special council's are no longer legal... that'll be fucking hilarious for the Republicans and their Hunter Biden and other investigations that use them.

Georgia will never appeal the decision especially after f'ing up the special handler decision

I'm pretty sure we're talking two different cases.

This is the Florida Trump stole shit he shouldn't have that was Government property and displayed it to anyone and everyone at Mar-A-Lago.

Georgia has nothing to do with that case at all.

POTUS has NOTHING to do with Special Councils.

That's the Attorney General.
Has to be formed by 2 branches of the Gov. appointed by the Executive and confirmed by the legislative branch to be independent. The independent council appointed by the AG is gone since the Nixon days

Sigh.

§ 600.1 Grounds for appointing a Special Counsel.
The Attorney General, or in cases in which the Attorney General is recused, the Acting Attorney General, will appoint a Special Counsel when he or she determines that criminal investigation of a person or matter is warranted and—

(a) That investigation or prosecution of that person or matter by a United States Attorney's Office or litigating Division of the Department of Justice would present a conflict of interest for the Department or other extraordinary circumstances; and

(b) That under the circumstances, it would be in the public interest to appoint an outside Special Counsel to assume responsibility for the matter.

“Even if the Special Counsel has a valid office, questions remain as to whether the Attorney General filled that office in compliance with the Appointments Clause,” Thomas said. “For example, it must be determined whether the Special Counsel is a principal or inferior officer. If the former, his appointment is invalid because the Special Counsel was not nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate, as principal officers must be. Even if he is an inferior officer, the Attorney General could appoint him without Presidential nomination and senatorial confirmation only if ‘Congress . . . by law vest[ed] the Appointment’ in the Attorney General as a ‘Hea[d] of Department.”
