Special counsel Jack Smith drops election subversion case against Donald Trump

CNN —
Special counsel Jack Smith said Monday that he is dropping his election subversion case against President-elect Donald Trump, seeking the case’s dismissal in a court filing with the judge.
Trump has said he would fire Smith once he retook the office, shattering previous norms around special counsel investigations.
“The (Justice) Department’s position is that the Constitution requires that this case be dismissed before the defendant is inaugurated,” Smith wrote in a six-page filing. “This outcome is not based on the merits or strength of the case against the defendant.”

Smith’s criminal pursuit of Trump over the last two years for trying to subvert the 2020 presidential election and his mishandling of classified documents represented an extraordinarily unique chapter in American history: Never before has a former occupant of the White House faced federal criminal charges.
Though the election subversion case culminated in a landmark Supreme Court ruling this summer that said Trump enjoyed some presidential immunity from criminal prosecution, Trump’s strategy of delay in the case ensured that a trial never got underway before the election.

Let the whining and moaning into the wind continue. Bragg and James will follow suit, followed by Funny Fannie in Georgia. Houses of cards do eventually fall.
They should never had been brought in the first place.
It is common sense to know that if Trump did not run for president, these cases would never have been filed. The whole idea was to make him obsolete on the political arena and force him to drop out. Then the cases would have been dropped.
You have zero knowledge of the case against Trump. If they want to suspend me or ban me for saying that, so be it. We could write what you know about the election interference case on a fleas ass.
malicious prosecution is illegal and against the law. In addition....
“The (Justice) Department’s position is that the Constitution requires that this case be dismissed beforethe defendant is inaugurated,”Smith wrote in a six-page filing. “This outcome is not based on the merits or strength of the case against the defendant.”
Dismissed with prejudice means the charges can brought up again...as if that will ever happen.
Are you aware of the elements of a cause of action for malicous prosecution, which is a civil claim, although applicable to both civil and criminal actions? What facts in these two cases fit within the elements of a malicious prosecution cause of action?
The Justice Department's position
The Justice Department's position is merely a policy position adopted by the Justice Department. It is NOT the law.
Dismissal with prejuduce means the charges can be brought up again.
That is incorrect. A dismissal without prejudice means criminal charges, or a civil claim, can be brought up again, if it is done within the statutory limitation period. A dismissal with prejudice means charges cannot be brought up again without an appellate ruling to the contrary.
Yes, I’m disappointed in Merrick Garland, Jack Smith, & SCOTUS. But mostly I’m disappointed in the 76 million Americans who said “no big deal” and voted for a candidate who, just 4yrs ago, lost an election, refused to concede, and then actually committed crimes trying to overthrow that election. The fact that 76 million Americans didn’t find THAT disqualifying will always be my biggest disappointment.
With a corrupt Supreme court politically in the right wing Republican pocket saying a President is above the law, this was their desired outcome. The American people had their chance to vote against it but decided to vote for absolute dictatorship with one man above our laws. I never want to hear angry Republican ever say a stinking word about "law and order" because it no longer means anything.
you don't want them mentioning things they don't believe in, uphold, or not lie about,cause that is a very tremendous asking, and these crumbling crackers who've souped up N polluted nutz, muddied the already dirty waters, should have to send their teenage daughters on some dates with Matt Gaetz, andsee if then, they might find a Gaetz off fences, as it would allow an entrance for the beavis up his butthead, hopefully whilst on Fire,....

"I am completely exonerated" Trump will lie.

Jesus fucking christ
Trump had a strategy. It didnt involve "I didnt do it", it was similar to what mob figures do to get off.
That was his same strategy for his 2 impeachments....
Nope, he was successfully impeached both times. Just not removed from office.
You rang?
LOL

Dude, you know absolutely nothing about the whole thing. Just be happy your piece of shit leader got his way.
Not your dude.
I know that the cases were brought simply because Trump ran for president.
There is no other reason.

We no longer live in a Rule of Law country.

Of course we do!
Let me try and rob a bank and let's see how the Rule of Law works out
If the law is not enforced as to those who hold a position of power then the Rule of Law has broken down.
I was being sarcastic.
I know he got away with it. But regular citizens won't get away with stuff
Unless they're part of a favored group.
Pelosi must have smashed all her dishes by now. Her Harris shoe-in plot failed, and now this.
Would not surprise me if her and Hillary are in Hawaii with Harris getting wasted while throwing those dishes.
I hear they were headed for Cancun but Cancun Cruz was already there waiting for the power grid in Texas to fail.....again.
Fail
PDS.
Fail

I also don't want them saying the words family values, morals, ethics, integrity or honesty.
