With Donald Trump coming out victorious in the 2024 election, special counsel Jack Smith and the DOJ have already dismissed all federal charges and appeals targeting the incoming president. Of course, as RedState reported, Smith did it in the most petty way possible, not seeking to dismiss with prejudice and theoretically leaving the door open for a future Democratic administration to re-indict.
Still, the odds of that seem extremely low. With Trump set to serve another four years, I can’t see a possible Democrat president in 2029 taking the political risk for what is already an irrelevant issue with voters.
That said, Smith is preparing one more surprise with the help of AG Merrick Garland. According to sources, a “report” detailing the supposed evidence against Trump will be released, and you can bet it’s going to be Christmas morning for MSNBC.
The report is expected to detail Smith’s findings on key cases involving Trump, including allegations of election subversion and mishandling of classified documents. Attorney General Merrick Garland is expected to publicly release the special counsel report.
“Historically, these special counsel reports are quite detailed,” CNN legal analyst Elie Honig said Tuesday morning in an interview with Jim Acosta. ” I think this will be Jack Smith’s last and best chance to tell his story in both cases. He’s already done that to some extent through his indictments and court filings, but this will be it — this will be the historical record.”
Smith last week filed a motion to drop four felony counts against Trump for his efforts to overturn his 2020 defeat to Biden. He also dropped an appeal of a judge’s dismissal of the separate federal classified documents case.
Justice Department policy says sitting presidents cannot face criminal prosecution, but charges could be filed against Trump again after he leaves office.
Manchin on Monday said that Biden should “go ahead and pardon Donald Trump” after he pardoned his son, Hunter Biden.
merrick garland and jack smith are both treasonous election tampering conspirators against the United States. They are both proven liars and anything they say or do should be totally ignored. I hope the tables turn and they get to spend millions defending themselves.
