Special Counsel Jack Smith to take a break from prosecution of Trump — for now

13

Federal prosecutors in the Department of Justice on Friday want more time to decide whether to continue prosecuting President-elect Donald Trump.

Special Counsel Jack Smith said Trump’s sweeping victory on Tuesday over Vice President Kamala Harris means his team needs to regroup and come up with a plan of attack.

“The Government respectfully requests that the Court vacate the remaining deadlines in the pretrial schedule to afford the Government time to assess this unprecedented circumstance and determine the appropriate course going forward consistent with Department of Justice policy,” prosecutors wrote in a motion before the court. Judge Tanya Chutkan granted the motion and ordered Smith to send her a status report by Dec. 2 regarding his plans to attack Trump for what he has called a criminal scheme to overturn the 2020 election of Joe Biden.

Trump has pleaded not guilty to the charges and the U.S. Supreme Court found that he had presidential immunity for the actions he took while in office while executing his core constitutional duties and that he had limited immunity on other matters. Unofficial acts are not protected.

  1. “The Team” must have been sleeping during law school classes in Evidence and Professional Responsibility. Jack Smith is done with the DOJ, however he might be employable at Harvard Law School where they teach wokeism and sophistry law to Affirmative Action students.

  2. It seems like a pretty messed up justice system. It really needs to be straightened out. Starting with Jack Smith arrest, and the Attorney General for that state arrest. Charge them with faults charges against Trump and check all of the other cases that they had seems like they’re dirty along with the Biden administration.

  3. “Jack Smith” is a low level attack dog for the police state. All of the high level DOJ officials need to be removed, with likely many of them into prison.

    The same for the alphabet agencies that comprise the Intelligence Agency Complex. The likelihood of actual rampant treason at management and directors level is at 99.99%.

    If Trump has not learned from his experiences of his 1st term, and the manipulated election precluding his 2nd term (there is no feasible explanation for the anomaly of 81 million votes for Biden), nothing will change.

    It may be a strategic benefit with the loss of the 2nd term and subsequent behavior of our government was so over the top, it opened the eyes of the American people.

    Trump must avoid, at all costs, for senator Thune or Cornyn taking McConnells’ leadership. They are the main Uniparty protégés and they will protect the police state and continue to sideline the office of presidency.

    Watching where Sullivan positions himself will be interesting.

  4. Lawfare is criminal conduct. It’s corruption of the highest order. Using lawfare in the circumstances we have seen is treason. A jury or military court would easily find guilty the decision makers and prosecutors of these cases. Let us not forget the serious abuses of J6 defendants. The prosecutors and abusers must be investigated.

  5. Since Jack Smith’s appointment was not approved by the Senate – as required by law, which he knew about all along – he should be held accountable for spending tens of millions of taxpayer dollars on his vengeful crusade to take down Trump.

  6. Overturned convictions, bribed witnesses, leaks, illegal wiretaps, client/ lawyer confidentiality breaches, what a great prosecutor!

  7. Maybe Trump will appoint the loving graceful Attorney General Letticia James to run the Department of Injustice from his home state of New York who gave a very hateful speech after DJT grand slammed the election 🙂

    Garland was one of Obama’s minions.

  8. The ultimate irony is it was blindingly obvious to any thoughtful observer that the Dems stole the 2020 presidential election by ballot stuffing and fraud. There was actual video documentation. However, the deep-state, especially the judiciary, rejected any reasonable review of the facts. They used fake reasoning such as lack of standing, etc. Think about that; when it comes to standing in a matter like that, every American citizen would have it.
