Jack Smith's Weak, Watered-Down Election Interference Gambit
Declassified.live ^ | 8/28/24 | Julie Kelly

Posted on 08/29/2024 5:11:19 AM PDT by CFW

After a year of legal, judicial, and political drama, Special Counsel Jack Smith just filed a superseding indictment to replace the first indictment he handed down against Donald Trump in August 2023 related to the events of January 6 and the former president’s alleged attempts to “overturn” the 2020 election.

Trump faces the four same charges—three conspiracy and one obstruction count—but the new version is nine pages shorter as Smith had to follow the presidential immunity guidance set forth by the Supreme Court in the Trump v US opinion published on July 1. The special counsel removed a large swath of evidence related to Trump’s interactions with his Department of Justice, activity the court determined fell firmly within the scope of a president’s “official” and Constitutional authority.

Additionally, Smith quietly removed Jeffery Clark, an acting associate attorney general at the time, as a co-conspirator, relieving the much-maligned attorney of defending himself against yet another bogus prosecution.

“Jack Smith has made largely cosmetic changes to his original indictment,” Clark told me via text Wednesday morning. “I’m gratified that he removed me—my work was core confidential constitutional advice to President Trump—but the whole indictment, even with the changes, still remains fatally flawed.”

Of course, all of this will be rendered moot if Trump regains the presidency in November. Then, it’s their turn.

Who is paying him? He wasn’t properly appointed. Where is the Republican congress to shut this down?

Those who weaponize the law have forfeited their right to life, liberty and happiness.

The Smith gambit is a direct attack on the Republic, on America.

Smith is forfeit.

I’m not generally for political revenge other than just beating the Democrats soundly in elections, but we are now in all-out war. I want scorched-earth retribution.

In other news, Jack Smith indicts ham sandwich for the fifth time.
He’d love to get a conviction, but even if he doesn’t, his ham harassment campaign is still a victory.

Agreed!
This has gone far beyond everyday politics. This is sabotage, sedition, conspiracy, extortion, blackmail, and the hijacking of the media complex.
Build the gallows on the National Mall, and use volunteers to pull the lever. It needs to operate 10 hours/day for one month.

I think it was Jesse Watters who said this is like when a customer asks for a low fat sub sandwich, the deli worker cuts a sandwich in half and charges the same price.

This lawyer bass turd, Smith, needs his harassing ass thrown in prison. The boy filed a second case in hoping to hang on to his government job for a while longer to build a bigger nest egg. Greedy roadkill skunk.

————————————ON VENGEANCE—————————————

I have always heard it said that “VENGEANCE IS MINE SAYETH THE LORD”.

Who is to say the we cannot be the instruments of the LORD in taking that vengeance?

I will be voting for TRUMP, AGAIN; I hope when he is reelected that he not only imprisons all these assholes going back to 2016 but has the treasonous one shot!

If he needs a trigger man I will do the job for free!
