CNN Legal Analyst: Jack Smith Desperate for Trump Conviction Before Election
Newsbusters ^ | December 17, 2023 | P.J. Gladnick

Posted on 12/18/2023 4:48:46 AM PST by PJ-Comix

If you heard a commentator state that the reason why Special Counsel Jack Smith appears to be so desperate for his J6 trial of Donald Trump to proceed as speedily as possible on March 4, 2024 is because he want to obtain a conviction of Trump before the election for purely political reasons, it would be safe to assume that this analysis was given on NewsMax or perhaps OANN.

However, what is shocking is the commentator in this case was CNN's legal analyst, Elie Honig, on Saturday's Smerconish. CNN has treated him as Eliot Ness who buys lunch at Subway like an everyday hero.

The more than obvious political motivation of Jack Smith is so over-the-top that even Honig had to take note of it.

Eric Holder spent 2 years non-stop looking for discrepancies in the Bush ‘43 administration. Came up with nothing.

These people charge first investigate later. It’s either desperation or evil intent. Shows what we’re up against.

Has he been promised a large bonus if he gets a conviction?

Look into Jack Smith’s eyes. Have you ever seen so much darkness?

Pray for him. Send him Love. Ask for the Holy Spirit to touch him as he may experience what Saul did on the road to Damascus when he became Paul.

This is the same Love that drives out evil and is used in exorcisms.

🙏

Jack Smith is just a Democrat Hit Man. If he had left Bob Mc Donnell alone there may never have been a PDJT. McDonnell was too perfect a candidate and It was Hillary’s turn.Bob and his beautiful family deserve justice.

Desperate? When departing from the law is no impediment I don’t see his problem.

The “right to a speedy trial” is more often observed in the breach than the fulfillment. Hastily prepared briefs and indictments almost always assure that some very important facts or evidence are overlooked or swept under the rug. To the best of my knowledge, the Team Trump has a legally protected right to discovery of ALL the collection of specifics and supporting evidence that Jack Smith (sounds like a made-up name, is that perhaps an alias?) claims to have assembled. Delay until discovery is completed is entirely appropriate.

It’s probably too much to hope for the SC to deliver an instant death blow to Smith and the DOJ, but surely they see them for what they are. But, we can still hope they end these political prosecutions.

Roberts, though, and the court in general try to stay out of politics so many expect they’ll delay for a while before returning the case to its proper sequencing via lower courts, which ruins Smith’s timelines.

This wished-for death blow, however, would expose the illegitimacy of the other cases against Trump.

DjT’s legal team has appeals of all sorts lined up and ready to go for all the various indictments such that conviction and jail before Nov. on any of them is a pipe dream. By ‘25, or ‘26 maybe, at which time the SC can rule on the cases of a popular President just down Pennsylvania ave. sitting in the WH.

You’re a POS, Jack Smith, just like the people you work for and tell you what to do. Primarily that’s Garland, Obama, and Biden.

It’s either desperation or evil intent. Shows what we’re up against.

My take is: It’s either desperation or and evil intent.

Smith needs to be locked up. He’s an insane madman obsessed with lynching President Trump. Him and his flucken “judges” make me want to puke. 100% fascists.

What Jack Smith and the corrupt DOJ are seeking is a backdoor Bill of Attainder, with a thin vaneer of legalism. All done in the putrid cesspool of DeeCee.

IF??? Kangaroo Courts don't often end with acquittals.
