Jack Smith Surrenders: Special Counsel Will Not Seek Expedited Hearings in Donald Trump Case

Special Counsel Jack Smith reversed course in his quest to seek expedited hearings in his Washington, DC, case against former President Donald Trump.

Smith sought the hearings to determine which actions that Trump allegedly took he could charge in his election interference case against the president.

The Supreme Court’s July 1 decision that presidents enjoy partial immunity for actions taken in office in an official capacity spurred Smith to alter his approach.

Before Smith relented in his latest push to expedite the increasingly shaky case, Judge Tanya Chutkan had planned to hold hearings in the fall to determine which of Trump’s acts were official acts subject to prosecution.

That determination will now occur after the election — if it occurs at all.

Smith remains an evil fascist.

[CatOwner]

They must know that NY is going to be the system that incarcerates Trump.

[Biblebelter]

It’s Judge Merchan or nothing.

Trump will be sentenced to jail.

It’s all the Commies got.

[rrrod]

Excellent!

Great news! Now let's see what happens in Manhattan. If the sentencing does proceed next month I've decided that I'm gonna drive down to NYC to try to get into the courtroom. I've never been arrested before and I'd love to be on the national news being led away in cuffs for having created a (small) disturbance in the courtroom...or outside the courthouse at 100 Centre Street.

You go Dude!

[DoughtyOne]

If he thought he had a chance, this would not be happening.

[Gay State Conservative]

Yes,it's very likely to happen.But it seems distinctly possible to me that a Federal court will quickly step in and put a hold on it.In fact it seems possible that a Federal court will step in *before* the sentencing and put a hold on it.

Notice I said Federal court....there's not a state judge or a state court in NY that would step in.

[Gay State Conservative]

Will you cover my bail? ;-)

[fwdude]

Still not good enough. An enemy of Trump is going to determine which acts were official? Please!!

[jroehl]

It finally dawned on these idiots that this is hurting their campaign.

[OldHarbor]

How does Jack Ass Smith continue this charade as a “Special Ed Prosecutor? This fraud should be in jail.

[lucky american]

Let me know, I’ll go with you.

[SPDSHDW]

a few days ago another FReeper posted a letter from the USSS to the A.G in the Trump Kabuki shamwow trial. If it was true, the USSS said there is absolutely no chance he ends up in Prison, and there is no appeal.

[Starboard]

Good point/logic there.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Jack Smith SHOULD BE IN PRISON!!!

Absolutely. Even more so, Merrick Garland should be in prison for UNCONSTITUTIONALLY appointing Smith in the first place!! I keep waiting for something to happen with regard to that minor detail.
