No one is “above the laws,” according to Special Counsel Jack Smith, who stated on Monday that he would cut the accusations against Trump despite the fact that the information against the current president-elect is “absolutely strong.”
But if that’s the case, why bail out then? There’s no way for Trump to drop the charges, despite Smith’s claims that he is the real criminal genius. Smith is aware that this was never a matter of rules. Leftists used law enforcement to prosecute and, hopefully, confine their political opposition.
” After careful consideration, the Department has determined that OLC ‘s]Office of Legal Counsel ] prior opinions concerning the Constitution’s prohibition on federal indictment and prosecution of a sitting President apply to this situation and that as a result this prosecution must be dismissed before the defendant is inaugurated”, Smith’s filing stated.
Smith also made sure to add a throw-away-line that the decision to drop the event did never “turn on the weight of the crimes charged, the strength of the President’s evidence, or the merits of the prosecution, which the Government stands completely behind”. But, Smith added, the Department of Justice concluded that pursuing the case may prevent Trump’s ability to lead.
Smith charged Trump with questioning the 2020 election’s management. The Supreme Court torpedoed Smith’s work in July when it ruled 6-3 that a leader has “absolute resistance” for “actions within his convincing and preclusive legal power” and “at least presumptive resistance” for all “official works”. To identify whether Trump’s actions were recognized acts, the lower court received many questions from the court regarding the charges against him. After that, Smith formally indicted Trump and refused to let the situation go because he believed it had hurt his chances of winning the vote.
The Trump-Vance move group celebrated the choice in a statement.
Trump’s communications director Steven Cheung stated in a speech that today’s decision by the DOJ puts an end to the illegal federal cases brought against him. We look forward to uniting our nation and the American People, who want an instant end to our country’s system’s democratic weaponization.
The lawfare was strictly social, according to Smith, not the only Democrat to acknowledge this.
On Tuesday, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg consented to a permanent pause in Trump’s imprisonment in relation to his alleged payments to Michael Cohen. Cohen was allegedly given the order to keep silent about an alleged event, which is not against the law, by paying pornstar Stormy Daniels. However, Bragg argued that Trump’s obligations to Cohen, which were deemed to be legitimate payments, should have been considered campaign expenses, alleging that they were used to control the 2016 election. Cohen, but, testified that Trump was concerned that after the claims initially surfaced in 2011, his family would be impacted by them.
