Summary
Special Counsel Jack Smith is in discussions with the Justice Department on how to conclude federal cases against President-elect Donald Trump, following DOJ policy that prohibits prosecuting a sitting president.
Trump, previously indicted for election interference and the unlawful retention of classified documents, has pleaded not guilty in both cases.
These prosecutions have been complicated by a recent Supreme Court ruling that grants presidents partial immunity from prosecution.
Additionally, Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the classified documents case, questioning the constitutionality of Smith’s appointment.
That would require Biden getting off his ass.
It would be a different world if he’d done that four years ago and appointed someone to be AG that was willing to enforce the law against powerful people even if it caused conflict. Merrick Garland may be the single person most to blame for this result behind Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. But we sure did clap back at those Republicans, didn’t we?
