Jack Smith and Merrick Garland Prepare One Last Surprise for Donald Trump
Quote: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."
While the Jim Acostas and Rachel Maddows of the world are going to get really excited about this, I'm less concerned about the whole ordeal. Far from being the "historical record," it will be the word of a man who served as a partisan apparatchik for an administration seeking to put its political opponent in jail to influence an election. Whatever he releases will just come across as the last shallow gasp of a failed special counsel.
To put it simply, no one cares about this anymore. If any of this mattered, Kamala Harris would have won the election. No doubt, Smith's report will include lots of salacious nonsense meant to spoil Trump's second inauguration, but it's ultimately powerless. In that sense, I'm almost happy it's being released. It'll be entertaining to see Joy Reid and company whip themselves into a lather over something that will have zero impact on the incoming administration.
Lastly, I think Smith and Garland going this route only underscores how much reform is needed at the DOJ. By releasing a report on charges that were ultimately dropped, they are showing themselves to be the partisans everyone already knew they were. It's like the Democrats doubling down on trans insanity post-election. All it does is underscore why they lost.
Trump can choose to respond however he wishes because, as I said, it doesn't really matter. If it were my decision, though, I'd ignore it and let them seethe. The press wants a response that leads to a massive public debate in the same vein as the Mueller investigation. Letting their last desperate attempt die on the vine would only make them angrier.

RE: Jack Smith and Merrick Garland Prepare One Last Surprise for Donald Trump
We need a Republican AG to file a Federal election interference case against Garland and Smith in a friendly court so that all file records, communications, computers, and devices connected with this case are preserved and prepared to be delivered to the court. Anyone going to be surprised if this cabal failed to follow both the letter and spirit of the law---as well as likely acting in coordination with Administration and DNC officials? Im not going to be surprised at all when that comes out.

To be really honest these guys are scare for President Trump to be in office again. I believe some deep secrets will come to light when Trump returns. You remember when people would tell you there's no such thing as the Deep State against the people.

Jack Smith and Merrick Garland Prepare One Last Surprise for Donald Trump
Yea, that’s cute and all, but for the “Historical record” Jackie “Papers” Smith is NOT a Special Counsel”.
He may well be special, but that’s a different kind of special.
Political theatre, that’s all.
No one cares.

Or when Trump was never “wiretapped”?
They called him crazy. Who’s crazy now?

RE: Jack Smith and Merrick Garland Prepare One Last Surprise for Donald Trump
So let's see.... all of these facts and findings were real bad allegedly.
If they were that bad (and i assume provable) Jackbois case should have been open and shut - no?

If Jack Smith and Merrick Garland aren’t sharing a cell in Danbury by next summer there is no justice.

For those two clowns there is an old saying.
Same Sh!t Different Day!
Someone might to enlighten the incompetent fools that their witch hunts and kangaroo courts only make Americans despise them even more.
Any one with a brain would understand the election was a complete rejection of their weaponization of the DOJ

It’s not for the public. Its sole purpose is to scare the RINOs. They are just trying one last ditch effort to undermine Trump’s support in the senate and house. Just as they did with Russia Russia Russia. The republicans had damn sure stick together like a bunch of democrats.

Your last line is the $64,000 question. Only 220 Rs in the house with all kinds of factions, and 4 to 6 (or more) R senators who can clog up the pipes.

Generally Evil corresponds with a high level of intelligence. These two words never intersect with these people.
