First, a little Civics lesson. Under the Constitution, law enforcement and Prosecution of criminal, as well as civil cases, is done under the administrative branch of the United States. In other words, this is handled by the President. There is oversight from Congress of course, and the Senate has the final say on the appointment of judges. Otherwise, any decisions to prosecute a case is strictly in the hands of the Administration. What this job listing appears to be saying is that the Congress is going to usurp this power from the Administrative Branch. Here are the details from Fox News<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n A new listing on a federal government job board is raising constitutional questions, as Capitol Police<\/a> are looking to hire their own prosecutors. <\/b><\/p>\n The listing for an attorney position, posted July 29 on USAJobs.gov, says in the description that the employee would “serve as a Special Assistant United States Attorney” in the Capitol Police’s District Offices. The salary is between $145,094 and $186,368 per year. <\/b><\/p>\n “This position is to represent the United States Government primarily prosecuting individuals and\/or groups who have engaged in threats and\/or acts of violence against Members of Congress, their staffs, United States Capitol Police employees, visitors to the Capitol complex, and facilities and properties within the Capitol Complex,” the listing says. <\/b><\/p>\n Notably, the agency listed for the prosecutor’s job is the Capitol Police, not the Department of Justice.<\/a> Therein lies the problem, according to Mike Davis, founder of the Article 3 Project. <\/b><\/p>\n “It is constitutionally wrong to have prosecutors report to law enforcement. It should be the other way around,” Davis said. <\/b><\/p>\n There is another problem with this. The Capitol Police leadership board is made up of the House and Senate Sargent’s at Arms, among others and they report to Pelolsi and Schumer.<\/p>\n “This is clearly unconstitutional to have federal prosecutors working for Speaker Pelosi and Chuck Schumer in Congress,” Davis said, since prosecution falls under the Executive Branch, not Congress. He also noted how special prosecutors often have a tremendous amount of autonomy. <\/b><\/p>\n “They’re going to be able to do whatever the hell they want,” Davis said. <\/b><\/p>\n They already are doing whatever they want. Pelosi\u2019s recent trip to Taiwan is a case in point. She was making foreign policy and that is the purview of the President of the United States and the State Department. To have the ability to prosecute people for whatever reasons they want flies in the face of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.<\/p>\n To that end, Davis claimed that these attorneys will essentially be “Pelosi and Schumer\u2019s hand-picked federal prosecutors doing their bidding.” Such an arrangement, he said, where lawmakers have their own prosecutors, “leads to tyranny.” <\/b><\/p>\n Considering the utter contempt that Pelosi and Schumer have for the Constitution and the Rule of Law, not to mention the moron in the white house, I wouldn\u2019t be at all surprised that they would order their prosecutors to arrest and try President Trump for being President Trump. Now the question is, what genius came up with this in the first place and who was involved in this?<\/p>\n The whole situation led Davis to raise the question of how this came about in the first place. <\/b><\/p>\n “Who signed off on this?” he asked, questioning whether Attorney General Merrick Garland himself approved it. <\/b><\/p>\n No honest Attorney General would ever sign off on this. Of course. We\u2019ve seen just how honest Garland actually is. He\u2019s weaponized the Department of Justice in ways that make Eric Holder drool with envy.<\/p>\n A Capitol Police spokesperson told the Daily Wire that the idea did not come from any member of Congress, but Davis is skeptical. He said it is “not believable that Speaker Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Schumer<\/a> did not have their hands in this,” even if it was through their respective sergeants-at-arms. <\/b><\/p>\n Apparently, the job postings were only open for a few weeks, from July 29th<\/sup> to August 19th<\/sup>. That would seem to indicate that the postings were just a proforma exercise and that they already know who they\u2019re going to hire. The listing also says that the prosecutors will be reporting to the Capitol Police Deputy and General counsel, but will also be supervised by the U.S. Attorney’s office.<\/p>\n That dual reporting system, Davis predicted, is not going to be how things operate on the ground. He believes that ultimately the prosecutors will be controlled by the Capitol Police \u2014 and as a result, the congressional leaders who control them.\u00a0 Davis said the stated dual reporting is merely an attempt to work around the legal problems that he is certain will present themselves. <\/b><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
