Jack Smith is going to prevail in this last indictment. The trial date is everything. Here’s why
Flopping Aces ^ | 08-02-23 | DrJohn

Biden's DOJ has indicted Donald Trump for the third time, but this one is different. Jack Smith has brought an indictment against Donald Trump that criminalizes free speech. The counts:

Professor Jonathan Turley described it this way:
George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said Smith issued “the first criminal indictment of alleged disinformation.” “If you take a red pen to all of the material presumptively protected by the First Amendment, you can reduce much of the indictment to haiku,” he said. “I felt that the Mar-a-Lago indictment was strong. This is the inverse.”
Andy McCarthy:
Former New York federal prosecutor Andy McCarthy said Smith had to stretch the statutes to capture Trump’s behavior. “[Smith] has extravagantly stretched these statues in order to try and capture this behavior and that’s because this is a proxy for what should have been a political impeachment process they’re leaving to the criminal justice system, the failure of Congress to carry out a successful impeachment,” McCarthy said.
The timing of each of the Smith indictments is very curious

None of that matters. Despite his mixed record Smith is going to prevail.

  1. It's in the DC venue
  2. Because of lunatic U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan.
Chutkan was born in Jamaica and graduated from the University of Pennsylvania’s law school. She is married to former DC Superior Court Judge Peter Krauthamer.

Her resume includes a previous job likely to attract significant attention from Trump allies. She worked at the law firm Boies Schiller Flexner from 2002 until she was confirmed as a federal judge in 2014, according to a biography she submitted to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Boies Schiller has strong connections to the Democratic Party, and then-second son Hunter Biden — whose dad, President Biden, is likely to face Trump in the 2024 election — was of counsel at the firm from 2009 to 2014, according to OpenSecrets.

She over-punishes right wingers, especially those from Jan 6
“Chutkan has handed out tougher sentences than the [Justice Department] was seeking in seven cases, matched its requests in four others and sent all 11 riot defendants who have come before her behind bars,” the AP wrote in a profile article last year.

“In the four cases in which prosecutors did not seek jail time, Chutkan gave terms ranging from 14 days to 45 days.”

She, like Smith, is a rabid partisan hack. The evidence won't matter. Justice won't matter. The Constitution won't matter. Motions to change venue will be denied. Trump is not well liked in DC. The jury will be fixed.

Trump will be convicted in this case. Chutkan is highly likely to sentence Trump to decades in prison adn taken into immediate custody. He will likely lose his appeal to the DC Circuit. But the news isn't all bad. The Supreme Court will see through this garbage and certainly overturn the case. But the point of the whole exercise is to keep Trump out of the race.

Robert Barnes says it’s garbage: he was already acquitted by the U.S. Senate of these same charges; it’s a violation of his First Amendment rights to protest; it’s infringement of his free speech to run a campaign, and on and on.

Now, will a DC jury convict? maybe. Probably. But Barnes thinks that it WILL go to the Supes, sooner rather than later if the DC jury convicts.

“Chutkan was born in Jamaica...”

So a rabid Democrat partisan hack judge born in JAMAICA is going to convict our Great President Trump. That is wrong on so many levels.

Wasn’t there a Supreme Court decision from around 1920, that it’s not illegal to question an election?

70 + years later and it’s difficult to defend the notion that Joseph McCarthy has not been vindicated for his words. Sad that America was led to destroy him rather than embrace the warning he voiced.

And, would not this act of Biden be “election interference”?

If they are using Chutkan, they are not serious about the case. It's a kangaroo court. So it's a political exercise.

If they wanted to lock Trump up in prison for good, they'll pick a white man like Merrick Garland to serve as the judge in the case.

Then there will be an appeal. I realize that the collective IQ of DC is under 100, but maybe a few will recognize the destructive nature of this thing.

In the meantime, we need to pray, constantly that God will have mercy on this country.

Smith prevail ? Not in the end, but that’s not the point. Lawfare, always in court during presidential campaign, always on TV is the goal. Smith and Ds may get that much.

DC can' t produce a 'jury of your peers' because 95% of DC voted against Trump.

Hunter wasn't 'selling access - Hunter was soliciting bribes...
