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.

This one is for all the marbles

A shame that both Congressional GOP leaders have marbles for brains.

“Meanwhile the country is transfixed by the goings-on of the Kardashians and binging on Netflix and other assorted trash.”

Fact. Our citizenry is soft and stupid. The future for such a nation is bleak.

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

Exactly, McCarthy could defund government and put a stop to this.

Our legal system has become a completely worthless, untrustworthy, political bludgeon. It is now worthy of NO respect and should be spoken of in the most honest harsh terms.

If you are in the Federal judicial system, you are likely scum.
DOJ, Justice Main, FBI, ATF etc are overwhelmingly polluted beyond repair.

It’s like they’re goading MAGA for that very reason. I do not think they realize the damage they are doing.

Doesn’t matter how many laws were violated by government agents to nail Trump. The media wants Trump punished and that is all that’s important. The media runs this country. Contrary voices are ignored.

They want to be martyrs it seems.
Because things will happen if they succeed.

“I imagine they will indict him for insurrection, or even treason.”

Probably so.

If this doesn’t get the Republicans’ asses in gear, then absolutely nothing will.

And the useless GOPe won’t do anything. Many of them are cheering this on and are directly responsible.

We’re at the point where the Dems have weaponized the entire DC “justice” system. We need a Constitutional amendment where no case can be heard there when the defendant isn’t a permanent resident of the district — hear it in their own home site instead.

Good luck getting that done, though.

You're right... there is as much of a chance of that happening as there is of Trump winning the next election. The fixes have been in much longer than we'd like to think.

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

You just made the case for a national divorce, but it won't happen. After all, the NFL season is approaching.
