According to huge report from Fox News Channel, current special counsel Jack Smith, the one who has launched a lawfare crusade against former <\/p>\n
President Donald Trump and so far been stymied in bringing those cases to trial, will lose his position and have his cases dropped before Inauguration Day.<\/p>\n
Charlie Kirk, the podcaster and Turning Point USA personality who has been a consistent ally of President-Elect Trump\u2019s, posted about the matter on X (formerly Twitter), <\/p>\n
saying that the prosecution attempts of Jack Smith against Trump are now over, and that he will be booted from his post before Trump is sworn in as president.<\/p>\n
At issue with the Department of Justice is that it cannot prosecute a sitting president, something that it apparently acknowledged, presumably begrudgingly.<\/p>\n
As a result, it needs to end special counsel Smith\u2019s attempts to prosecute former President Trump, as he will be the sitting president before long.
\nSo, according to Fox News Channel, the DOJ is doing so by firing Smith from his special counsel position and dropping the two criminal cases he has brought against former President Trump, cases that many in the media once framed as having the potential to destroy Trump\u2019s political career.<\/p>\n
ne of those cases had already been dismissed by a judge. That was the case regarding President-Elect Trump\u2019s alleged mishandling of classified material, the case over which the Federal Bureau of Investigation sent agents to raid Trump\u2019s Mar-a-Lago home and rifle through his belongings. Judge Cannon dismissed the case, but Smith was attempting to appeal the dismissal.<\/p>\n
The other case, which was being brought in Washington, D.C., has to do with the President-Elect\u2019s handling of the situation after the 2020 election, with Jack Smith alleging a great deal of illegal conduct on Trump\u2019s part. It has not been dismissed yet, making it being dropped by the DOJ very helpful for Trump.<\/p>\n
Jack Smith has long drawn the ire of not just President-Elect Trump, but other Republicans as well. For example, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, commenting on Jack Smith\u2019s renewed case against former President Donald Trump, said that Smith has turned Trump into the most persecuted American politician in history.<\/p>\n
In his words: \u201cDonald Trump continues to be the most persecuted politician in the history of our country. Today, after getting two of his cases thrown out by the courts, Jack Smith is grasping at straws once again. Just 70 days before the election, Smith has brought yet another bogus indictment. Americans are sick of this corruption and shameless lawfare. They know this is not about justice, but about politics.\u201d<\/p>\n
Continuing, he argued that the Biden-Harris Administration\u2019s handling of the matter has been disastrously bad, saying, \u201cJoe Biden and Kamala Harris have set a dangerous, destructive precedent by weaponizing the Department of Justice and using it to prosecute their political opponents. The American people will not let this stand. November 5th cannot arrive soon enough.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
