July was a bad month for Jack Smith. He was stripped of his special counsel title by a federal judge in Florida, and he lost 6-3 in the Supreme Court on the critical issue of presidential immunity. Despite the setbacks, he just took another shot at former President Donald Trump in the hopes of bringing him down before the November election.
Many likely assumed the case was dead, considering the legal drubbing Mr. Smith just received. But this determined prosecutor moved back to the United States from The Hague for the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of sending a Republican candidate to jail. He’s not going back now.
The Department of Justice cautions prosecutors against filing cases involving political candidates in the 60 days before an election. Ballots start hitting mailboxes in several states next week, and in-person voting begins on Sept. 20 in Virginia. The 2024 election is already underway.
According to DOJ’s Justice Manual, “Federal prosecutors and agents may never select the timing of any action, including investigative steps, criminal charges, or statements, for the purpose of affecting any election.”
Mr. Smith’s actions seem carefully timed. As soon as Mr. Smith had the opportunity, he ran to a grand jury of Democrats in the District to obtain this new indictment against Mr. Trump, which he presented on Tuesday to Judge Tanya Chutkan.
Considering Judge Chutkan’s lack of sympathy for Mr. Trump (she was appointed by then-President Barack Obama), the court will likely overlook the rushed indictment’s deficiencies and assist Mr. Smith in reaching his Nov. 5 target.
The biggest remaining obstacle is the Supreme Court’s clear instruction that the judiciary must not attempt to second-guess presidential decisions. As Justice Clarence Thomas explained, “Few things...

Another pignosed third worlder who needs his azz locked up. At least JaySix the biatch for election interference. What is he? Some kind of goofyass Russki? One of Poohtin’s boyz?
As the article points out, he’s not the “Special Counsel”.
He’s just “Jack Smith”, private citizen, Merrick Garfinkel’s errand boy.
So they need to stop calling him by a name that was sunsetted two decades ago.
The Deep State will o anything to keep Trump from winning the 2024 election including assassination.
So it would appear that Private Citizen Trump could sue private citizen Arcshloch for election interference.
To correctly describe Smith requires the pen of Shakespeare:
“Thy tongue outvenoms all the worms of Nile.”
Didn’t Trump say that anyone who is involved w election interference will be jailed for life? So be it Jackie.
Ja, ich denke...
But of course Drumpf has already filed a $100M suit over the Mar a Lago raid, so Herr Arcshloch is already up against that. But I think the suit was against the government, so he’s just a party to it...meaning the taxpayers will get to defend his actions, which we shouldn’t have to.
“They ought to use their vote to put a stop to the judicial abuse and send Mr. Smith back to the Netherlands.”
No, Jack[ass]Smith needs to be Gitmo’d and waterboarded at least weekly in his new Caribbean Utopia forever more.
It’d be “for the children” as him being a domestic terrorist.
Smith was not “stripped” of anything. The legality of all Special Counsel appointments was called into question and the judge gave an outlandish reading to the law. She always knew and expected her decision to be appealed.
This is now about far more than just Smith’s pursuit of Trump.
Smith’s life needs to be interfered with, as in interrupted.
Can you elaborate on your post? It sounds like you’re suggesting stuff that needs to be fleshed out.
Outlandish?
Of course it was going to be appealed, but you seem to have not actually familiarized yourself with the ruling and just read the headlines.
Oh, and you don’t even have the right judge or case. This isn’t an appeal.
