Those hoping that lawfare would give President Biden his best chance at reelection and pinned their hopes on Merrick Garland and Jack Smith making the magic happen, this has been a no good, awful, terrible week.
It seems clear to me that Jack Smith was appointed for the purpose of besetting Donald J. Trump and finding a means to keep him from running for president again. If I’m right, Smith's many strategies have come to naught this week and it is extremely unlikely that the cases he instituted in the District of Columbia and Florida (meritless as I think they are) will ever be resolved before the election.
The case in the District of Columbia is being heard before Judge Tanya Chutkan. She indicated she wants to hear the case this coming March and has been firm about sticking to that. In one of her rulings in that case, she denied Trump’s motion to dismiss on the ground that he had presidential immunity from the crimes with which Smith is charging him respecting his objections to the 2020 election. That issue could have in the ordinary course of things been appealed to the next highest court, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. Such an appeal would have made it unlikely that the case would return to the District Court for trial and disposition before the election, so, in a Hail Mary move, Smith sought action by the Supreme Court to rule on the issue, bypassing the normal procedure. This week, without dissent or explanation, the Court rejected his request and the matter will be heard by the Court of Appeals. That court is predominantly Democratic and it’s more likely than not that it will sustain Judge Chutkan’s order. But it will take time...

The encouraging thing is that at every new lawfare hurtle thrown at Trump, his approval numbers increase. That means people see what is happening and are not swallowing the MSM narrative.
IMHO Smith was told to seek SCOTUS action! I don't think that Smith is bright enough to originate this idea! Some other diabolical big eared, half white person wrote that game plan!!!!
This Is Election interference, The REAL is what it is!
No question about it
The left used our government to hide their misdeeds to their benefit to steal elections. They persecute and prosecute and punish bold patriots.
When Donald Trump is elected for the third time he will rout DC including the corrupt district that holds the ground under their feet.
Put them all in jail, misusers and abusers, including all involved in stealing our election.
Big and small, all must falll!
Very informative article. Thanks for posting.
Fixed it.
RDS and Haley are still hoping to cash the Uniparty kangaroo court lottery ticket they carry in their back pockets.
Let’s hope it’s enough people to overcome election fraud because we damn well know that’s going to happen again as absolutely nothing has been done about it.
Mitch McConnell continues to walk around in a coma as does most of the RINOpublican party. Plus we still have a little over 11 months to go and God knows what the DemoMarxists are going to pull the closer we get.
I fully expect 2024 to be the year of unbelievable insanity and outrage, the DemoMarxists will go to any lengths to stop Trump from winning. Look what they’re doing already, trying to get him removed from the primaries before he’s even been convicted of anything, Colorado supremes have even ruled last Tuesday to remove him which is NUTS!!! Punished before conviction, it’s unbelievable!
Not sure that we could really see this happening(putting all the miscreants in jail) but it is a pleasant thought & a high objective for Mr. Trump. Lots of us who would like to see that very thing happen.
Not quite fixed. May I suggest "demonic-rat scum criminal thieves"?
While putting all the miscreants in jail would feel like justice has finally been served, JAIL is too good for them.
They should ALL be HANGED! Putting them in jail casts money. They have pissed enough away already. SEND THEM TO HELL and be done. Also having them Hanged sends a message that TRAITORS will be executed.
Time for Total War on Democrats. HELL is waiting for them.
I, for one, appreciate the effort, but the media will always repeat that lie.
Given the real leader of the party of Biden, I’d “fix” it with the the word DEMONRAT.
Hopefully Trump can play the presidential immunity card in GA too and delay the kangaroo court until after the election. That would leave only the FLA documents case that may drag out due to discovery issues.
If anyone had a face of a Soviet Commissar, it is Jack Smith. What a Grade A looking turd he is.
The argument that Smith was not legally qualified for the appointment is a good one, but the above quote is valid and extremely worrisome. The fraud can continue even if we win all the legal points.
I hope there is a solution in the works for that. The leftist press has done everything to pretend it has been proven that fraud didn't occur. It hasn't been proven. How can you prove that something didn't happen? And we have to realize that right now it's a sure thing that it will happen again.
The Velvet Fascism of “Protect our Democracy”
THOMAS BUCKLEY DECEMBER 23, 2023
Deciding that a person who has not been charged with, let alone convicted of, insurrection is guilty of insurrection and therefore cannot run for president…that is “protecting our democracy” in action. Whenever that term is used, one can be assured that the democracy they are referring to has no semblance to any actual democracy.

Jack “Lawfare” Smith needs to go back to advising the IRS about how to cancel conservative non-profits.
I look forward to the day after Trump is elected when the MAGA hunters like Smith become the hunted.
