Special counsel Jack Smith pushed back Friday against Donald Trump’s assertions that the prosecutor should be held in contempt for submitting filings while the federal election interference case is paused, calling accusations that he was intentionally violating a court order “false” and “baseless.”

“Baseless” has become the key word for the media when “reporting” on any argument a conservative presents.
That’s the bun and the hot dog, but there’s the cheese (the government would never violate a court order), the chili ( not using filings to spread political propaganda) and several other lies to smother the whole stinking mess.
Pot, meet Kettle
I don’t see what is wrong with giving Trump’s lawyers more time to review the filings.
It’s not like someone’s rights or freedom are being further curtailed.
The J6 case should have been tossed out within mere days of its initial filing.
There is no law or evidence tendered by Smith that justifies it.
Revoke prosecutorial immunity NOW!
smith should be quite familiar with baseless charges
lol
If I didn’t sign for it, I didn’t receive it.
Trump has broken him. He may end up in an asylum.
Trump is over the Target.
It’s pretty based, actually.
“ As the D.C. Circuit recently made clear, a former President’s absolute immunity would constitute “an entitlement not to stand trial or face the other burdens of litigation,” such as discovery obligations. Blassingame v. Trump, No. 22-5069, 2023 WL 8291481, at *22 (D.C.Cir. Dec. 1, 2023) (citation omitted). Thus, because Defendant has appealed this court’s denialof that immunity, “whether the litigation may go forward in the district court is precisely what the court of appeals must decide.” Coinbase, 599 U.S. at 741 (quotation omitted).
Consequently, the court agrees with both parties that Defendant’s appeal automatically stays any further proceedings that would move this case towards trial or impose additional burdens of litigation on Defendant. Motion at 1; Gvt.’s Opp’n to Def.’s Mot. to Stay Proceedings Pending Appeal at 3, ECF No. 182. Accordingly, and for clarity, the court hereby STAYS the deadlines and proceedings scheduled by its Pretrial Order, as amended. See ECF No. 39; see also Def.’s Reply in Supp. of Mot. to Stay Proceedings Pending Appeal at 3, ECF No. 185
FED GOV SCUM TRAITORS
It can’t be stated enough times.
SYSTEMIC.
Oh, and BLACKMAIL.
When was the last time JackBoot Smith got elected?
The Meritless Garland?
The Fey Wray?
Kris Krispy, even?
“Baseless”? Didn’t he get the memo? It’s supposed to be “A threat to our democracy”.
