Jack Smith plans to dismiss both federal cases against Trump: Reports

Special counsel Jack Smith is in discussions with the Justice Department to end both federal criminal cases against President-elect Donald Trump, according to multiple reports on Wednesday.

Smith, who has led two cases against Trump since he was appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland in November 2022, is planning to halt the 2020 election subversion case and the classified documents case against Trump in light of Trump’s decisive presidential victory, multiple outlets reported, citing sources familiar with the matter.

The developments were reported by Fox News and CNN. A spokesperson for the special counsel’s office declined to comment to the Washington Examiner but highlighted the DOJ’s long-standing policy that states, “The indictment or criminal prosecution of a sitting President would unconstitutionally undermine the capacity of the executive branch to perform its constitutionally assigned functions,” according to a memorandum from October 2000.

A source connected to Trump’s legal team told the Washington Examiner they had not received direct contact confirming Smith’s reported intentions to wind down the federal cases but emphasized that it is “constitutionally impossible to prosecute a sitting president of the United States of America.”

“Given the very serious constitutional and legal issues with prosecuting even a president-elect of the United States of America, I would be shocked if Jack Smith’s operation is not swiftly wound up by the Biden Department of Justice,” the source added.

At this point, why continue?

The castrated Keebler Elf, US Attorney General Merick Garland, was too meek and too slow to the draw for the January 6th and Documents prosecutions to wrap up before the 2024 Elections.

Another failure for the Biden Admin.  Jimmy Carter only needed one more helicopter (Iran Hostage rescue attempt) to win a second term; Joe Biden just chose wrong from the beginning, and kept doubling down on wrong.

The story of the Biden Presidency will be wrong priorities, wrong policies, and Coastal Elite hubris.

Biden-Harris DOJ looking to end Trump prosecutions

American Military News by  Timothy Frudd 11/6/2024

In a statement obtained by NBC News, Steven Chung, a Trump campaign spokesman, said, “The American people have re-elected President Trump with an overwhelming mandate to Make America Great Again. It is now abundantly clear that Americans want an immediate end to the weaponization of our justice system, so we can, as President Trump said in his historic speech last night, unify our country and work together for the betterment of our nation.”

According to Fox News, Justice Department officials cited an Office of Legal Counsel memo from 2000, which states that investigating a sitting president would be a violation of the separation of powers. The memo warns that an investigation into a sitting president would “unduly interfere in a direct or formal sense with the conduct of the Presidency.” 

The memo adds, “In light of the effect that an indictment would have on the operations of the executive branch, ‘an impeachment proceeding is the only appropriate way to deal with a President while in office.'”

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.
