Jack Smith 'should be indicted for stupidity' after latest Trump charges: legal analyst

One charge, conspiracy against rights, was originally intended to blunt the KKK in 1870

Special Counsel Jack Smith, who brought four new 2020-election-related charges against former President Donald Trump earlier Tuesday, should be "indicted for stupidity" according to one legal analyst.

Gregg Jarrett told Fox News that the 45-page indictment of Trump, in which Smith lays out charges including one count better known for being used against the Ku Klux Klan in the 1870s, is an "amateurish joke."

Trump was charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States, attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding and conspiracy against rights – the latter of which was drafted to counteract intimidation of recently freed slaves newly protected by the 14th and 15th Amendments.

"This indictment strikes me as an amateurish joke, frankly," Jarrett said. "Jack Smith as special counsel should be indicted for stupidity – It's that bad."

Fox? The Paul Ryan Network? With friends like that, who needs enemies?

[butlerweave]

Jack Smith is another Soros Stooge

[logi_cal869]

How about misappropriation of government resources, i.e., weaponization of the government with intent to cause financial ruin and smear a political enemy who is a frontrunner for POTUS once again???!!!

-rhetorical rant over-

So, what are you really saying?

[lightman]

He obviously failed Constitution 101.

Trump did not shout “fire” in a crowded theater.

Anything less egregious is First Amendment protected speech.

[joshua c]

they dont care

they just need a willing judge and jury

easy enough in dc

[smokingfrog]

Just another example of democrats accusing the opposition of the very same thing they are guilty of.

[eeriegeno]

There should be a law that states “if it is proven that a prosecutor has put forth a frivolous indictment he/she should be disbarred. Further, if the frivolous indictment is put forth by a grand jury they, the grand jury, should be charged with false arrest!”

[OHPatriot]

Jack Smith needs a One Way Ticket to Serbia. I hear he has lots and lots of “friends” there.

[grumpygresh]

Better yet, SCOTUS should eliminate prosecutorial immunity. The immunity for government legal officials is destroying the nation.

[fruser1]

Why doesn’t Trump file frivolous suit/color of law type suits?

[Midwesterner53]

jack Smith is far from stupid. His task is to block Trump and he is doing everything he can, legal and illegal to do that.

[silent majority rising]

They are trying to force the SC to get involved so that they can pack it. That is what all these frivolous, unconstitutional prosecutions are about.

The Merging of Intent – Community Organizing and Main Justice

August 1, 2023 | Sundance | 342 Comments

Until the era of Barack Obama and Eric Holder, the efforts of the community activists were to excuse and absolve the transparently guilty.  It was only when Barack Obama and Eric Holder moved into office that things changed; the inflection point was achieved.

What we now consider the weaponization of the DOJ is actually the outcome of Main Justice merging with community activism.  Instead of the long-standing method of absolving the transparently guilty, the justice system was repurposed to accuse the transparently innocent.

Only one voice noticed the changed activity as it was taking place and called my attention to it, that voice was author Jack Cashill.

From the Henry Louis Gates (beer summit) in the White House, which targeted Sgt James Crowley, to the accusations against George Zimmerman (Orlando), Darren Wilson (Ferguson), the Baltimore Six accusations, and all the way through to Donald Trump, Michael Flynn et al, there is one continuum of the same justice system ideological effort – to accuse the transparently innocent.  To weaponize the systems of power toward a unified objective.

In the early stages of 2009 to 2012, the media were probed and prodded, tested to identify their willful alignment and train them to assist.  In essence, the goal was to bring the corporate media into the new shifted dynamic of targeting.  The media no longer needed to justify the actions of the transparently guilty offenders.  The new goal was to frame the transparently innocent with accusations that advanced the interests of the regime.

People have noted the shift and realignment in Democrats.  This is all connected to this same shifted dynamic. The activists gained control of the levers of power.  The force of government now shifted the media narrative from bad behavior (targeting the guilty the activist supported) to good behavior (targeting the behavior of innocents the activists do not support).

While this media effort was taking place, Attorney General Eric Holder was transforming the DOJ into an ideological targeting enterprise.  Eventually, leading to what is visible now with a fully weaponized Main Justice and FBI system.  The FBI now protecting the interests of those who weaponize – those who are corrupt.

The 2011/2012 Tea Party targeting did not originate in the IRS; it began with Eric Holder triggering a “special research project” requesting CD ROM’s containing the names, organizations and entities listed on the Schedule-B’s of the various Tea Party group tax filings.  The IRS, via Lois Lerner, was eventually identified in this project by a whistleblower from the Cincinatti office, but it was Attorney General Eric Holder at the DOJ who initiated the entire operation.

The NSA database then became a tool with similar “special research” intent, and that process followed through the 2016 GOP presidential primary to the position it is today. The infiltration of Social Media platforms for this same type of targeting operation is another step in the continuum to notice.

If you step back from the granular details and look at the entire landscape, you can trace this origin to the inflection point where community activism merged with government.  That merge to generate a weaponized DOJ is entirely the result of President Obama’s 2008 election.

There are current voices who notice the Obama operative fingerprints still controlling the mechanisms today; examples like Lisa Monaco as Deputy AG at the Dept of Justice, as well as many more Obama administration officials still in positions of power and direct influence.  Special Counsel Jack Smith and his targeting operation against Donald Trump is simply another example of this extended operation.

All of these participants have some level of stakeholder investment in retaining this weaponized system.  Every tool at their disposal will be used in the retention.

Moving forward to destroy the corruption means we must first accept the origin.

Understanding the toxic outcome of the Obama origin, a fully weaponized American government, is akin to having a discussion about vaccine danger with those who already took the vaccine.   Few will want to accept the conversation!

… After all, it is easier to accept the results of a fraudulent election, than for them to admit their complicity in the demise of our nation.

Being stupid isnt unlawful......but how about indicting the creep with
<><>misappropriation of government resources,
<><> weaponization of the government with intent to cause financial ruin
<><>election interference
<><>smearing your scared boss’s 2024 frontrunner.

[ConservativeInPA]

Smith’s goal is to stop Trump from being President again. It has nothing to do with justice. When this is over Jack Smith needs to be dealt with so that he can never harm any American again. I can think of only one way to permanently achieve that.

Jackoff Smith.
