Trump Says He Is Target of Criminal Probe in Jack Smith’s Jan. 6 Case
Wall Street Journal ^ | July 18, 2023 | Sadie Gurman

Posted on 07/18/2023 7:21:22 AM PDT by Jim Noble

Former President Donald Trump said federal prosecutors have told his legal team that he is a target of their investigation into efforts to undo his loss in the 2020 election.

In a post on his Truth Social platform Tuesday morning, Trump said Special Counsel Jack Smith sent his legal team a letter indicating he could face charges in the probe that has been examining Trump’s actions leading up to the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Trump said he had been given “a very short 4 days to report to the Grand Jury which almost always means an Arrest and Indictment.”

A spokesman for Smith didn’t immediately return calls seeking comment.

The target letter adds to Trump’s legal peril as he faces a separate federal prosecution stemming from his handling of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

Getting a "target letter" means you are going to be indicted. I imagine they will indict him for insurrection, or even treason.

This one is for all the marbles

America’s KGB/DOJ is going too far.

They are blind ideologues who won’t stop and will push this until they are the most hated organization in American history.

“America’s KGB/DOJ is going too far.”

No, they’re doing what they want because they can. No one will stop them.

This case won't be heard in front of a Florida jury

No Republican stands a chance in front of a DC jury, nor will they convict any Democrat. It is the most nakedly corrupt insurance policy the Democrats have

Most of the apolitical people I know are seeing right through this. The main topic is the Witch Hunt of PDJT.

Smith probably thinks the documents case will be thrown out (as it should be), so it's onto the next scam.

Well, let them charge him and watch his polling numbers go up another 10 points. At the rate they keep charging him with crimes, he might get 90% of the primary vote next year!

GovDome is drunk with Power. They believe they are invincible. They will NOT back down -— EVER.

They could end up creating a martyr.

Martyrs can’t be defeated. (At least not easily.)

They SO want to see Trump handcuffed and jailed, they’re blinded to the martyr idea.

If Trump is arrested and confined, there could be a Genera Strike, or rampant Civil Disobedience. If America is in civil chaos, many bad foreign events could be green lighted.

My crystal grown dim....

Jack Smith was not appointed by Biden and Garland to investigate potential wrong-doing, but rather to get Donald Trump.

Yet they cannot solve who left a baggie of cocaine in the White House?

UNequal Just-us.

Remember when Trump was impeached because he tried to interfere with the election by asking Ukraine to investigate corruption by US officials in an official capacity?

I am pretty sure that the word has come down from on high that President Trump has to be in prison at least by election dayin order to prevent him from being elected.
Especially since the Uni-party has not found a federal judge, so far to make the ruling that President Trump is ineligible to hold the office of president.

The people in power (Biden and his gang) do whatever they want regardless of the law or the Constitution. On the rare occasion when somebody stops them they regroup and find another way to subvert law and justice. Meanwhile the country is transfixed by the goings-on of the Kardashians and binging on Netflix and other assorted trash.

Good Points, The more they harass Trump the stronger he gets. At some point the American people will rise up and look for rope and lamp posts to use.
