Jack Smith files to drop Jan. 6 charges against Donald Trump
WASHINGTON — Special counsel Jack Smith has filed a motion to drop all four felony charges against President-elect Donald Trump in connection with his effort to overturn his 2020 presidential election in the lead-up to the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the U.S Capitol.
Trump was first indicted on four felonies in August 2023: conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding and conspiracy against rights. The case was then put on hold for months as Trump’s team argued that Trump could not be prosecuted.
Wow.
By getting elected, Trump has managed to doge any criminal liability for the Insurrection against this own country that he attempted on January 6th.
He is a Supervillain Criminal President now, able to upend any real accounatibclty for trying to over throw his own Government.
That is incredible and unprecedented.
Trump is appointing the most Ghoulish Cavalcade of Political Circus Freaks, this is a Rogues Gallery of Supervillains, people, who are acolytes and loyalists before they are intelligent people.
They are cogs in his machine.
A terrible, terrible, terrible machine.
America was always a Military Industrial Complex death machine but now Trump’s United States of Wounded Masculinity has elected a naked Plutocracy.
Trump’s brand of Orange Fascism has used the UNDERmensch to empower the UBERmensch.
The American Midnight is upon us.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
Yeah and watch how they will enforce it, not covertly that’s for sure. They have already told the UK that they will CRUSH them if they follow up on the ICC arrest warrant for their mate Bibby.
Yep, its quite amazing the swamp creatures he’s managed to let loose on the world, meaning nothing is going to change coming out of Washington unfortunately. As for the insurrection, more like a barely disguised stitch up job, speaks to the power of the MSM, that most people believe it to be an insurrection. This just shows why genocide is taking place today with next to near zero political push back. When the people are misinformed the politicians are free to either do crap or let crap pass them by. It is the job of the mainstream media to keep the people misinformed. Unless we break this cycle, then what is happening in Palestine will eventually, sooner rather than later in fact, find its devastating way to our very own doorstep.
Germany elected a similar type of person in the 30s .It did not end well despite their superiority in most areas.Their Achilles heal was poor u hinged decisions at the top .
.I predict the same will happen in America. They may have been silly enough to have elected Trump but government department heads have had years of practice at stopping or slowing moves that they do not like .He is only there for 4 years .
And just wait for the Trump branded nappies.
If the cases were a slam dunk they would have pursued it. They were anything but.
In New Zealand we only receive half of the information from reliable, non-partisan (**cough, cough) sources such as CNN, Reuters and MSNBC.
Yes and Fox News is reputable Frank?
It.seems you’ve fallen into your own trap, that much is certain.
You probably didn’t believe the CNN footage of nine eleven either did you. Those fake pictures of planes flying into buildings or the fake footage of Trumps “grab em by the pussy” or the storming of the Capitol. All made up right( wing) Frank?
Bullshit.
Tell me you don’t know anything about these cases without telling me… mission accomplished.
The cases were pursued, the cases are in progress — justice is slow, and can be slowed if you have money to run up the billable hours to exhaust every appeal of every spurious claim.
Look man, read the indictment (the superceding one from last month in the J6 case, or ANYTHING about the Mar-a-lago case) and tell me that they don’t have a strong case.
As an ex-US law enforcement officer with legal training I can’t help but be exasperated by this completely bullshit take presented as matter of factly yet so fucking wrong.
I was in China recently and made a mocking remark about corruption in P.R.China.
‘I do not know about New Zealand’ said my brother-in-law, ” and I know there is corruption here but are you going to tell me the U.S.A. is less corrupt than China ?’
That was me stumped.
At least the Australian jury convicted the police officer of manslaughter after he tasered the old lady with a knife in a rest home so they still have credibility.
With Trump seeking unlimited power I always suspected that any cases against him would fold as it would probably be a career ending decision by anyone seeking to hold him to account.
The saddest part is the usual suspects who are totally lacking any sort of a moral compass and continue to deny the truth about his unsuitability for government.
Of course, there is the possibility that the election was stolen from Trump in the first place.
This is not a credible possibility to anyone who isn’t already a lunatic, imbecile or completely in Trump’s thrall.
can’t wait for the McCarthyist rhetoric to ramp up
