The former president's team asked Attorney General Merrick Garland not to release the report, arguing that the decision should rest with the incoming Trump administration, and claimed that releasing it would illegally interfere with the presidential transition, per Politico.
The attorneys Todd Blanche, who has been nominated for Trump's deputy attorney general, and John Lauro also demanded that Garland fire Smith before he resigns.
“Because Smith has proposed an unlawful course of action, you must countermand his plan and remove him promptly,” the attorneys wrote.

Election results have been certified-—no take backs.

MORE BULLSCHTEIN.
Who are these idiots trying to impress?
Democrats and American communists [but I repeat myself] NEVER stop fighting.

Jack Smith is dog excrement. May he suffer the righteous wrath he deserves — good and hard.
They will just leak it anyway.
Just like Mueller, Jack Smith cannot find Trump innocent
The investigation was political, which is why the Democrats want the report released.

Hoping trump has a plan to deal with these pukes in the coming administration
“Who are these idiots trying to impress?”
The media.
This report release is so that the media can do what the media does for the next few years. They need a new angle and a new report to pound on relentlessly.
This is media/Dem collusion 101 we are witnessing.
Lets release all the Epstein clients, all the Senators and congressmen’s sexual misconduct fund list, The Hunter Biden, Laptop, all of it on Jan 20. They have been doing it for 4 years. The public wants transparency and they want it now.
