Jack Smith Gives Up The Ghost: Consults With DOJ to End Trump Lawfare

Jack Smith is rushing to end his lawfare cases against Trump. He is consulting with the DOJ to find the best way to end their persecution of Trump. Both Smith and the DOJ are rushing to end all of this nonsense before President Donald Trump becomes their boss. Trump has already promised to fire Smith in his first fifteen minutes. Both the DOJ and the FBI are due for some major house cleaning.

Special Counsel Jack Smith, who is overseeing multiple federal prosecutions of Donald Trump, has just entered talks with the Justice Department to come up with the best way to end the persecution while still saving as much face as humanly possible. Please, your honor. My dog ate my legal briefs.

CNN’s Jim Sciutto said:

“DOJ officials are looking at options for how to wind down Trump’s two criminal cases over his efforts to overturn the 2020 election and his handling of classified documents.”

Those talks are reportedly taking place due to an established department policy that they cannot prosecute a sitting president, sources told NBC News. Smith is investigating Trump for both misuse of classified documents and attempting to overturn the 2020 election. Both cases are pure BS, and Smith and the DOJ know that. Smith indicted Trump in New York state with 37 criminal charges. But he could never have gotten them anywhere but New York.

He had produced numerous indictments against Trump in both cases. His first, a 37-count June 2023 indictment of Trump for his handling of classified documents, was the first federal indictment of a former U.S. president in American history.

He also indicted Trump for election interference in 2023, and then filed a superseding indictment after the Supreme Court ruled that former presidents have immunity from prosecution for “official acts.”

Trump’s lawyers challenged Smith’s appointment as unlawful, arguing his unelected status prevented him from being a legitimate prosecutor.

“The Appointments Clause does not permit the Attorney General to appoint, without Senate confirmation, a private citizen and like-minded political ally to wield the prosecutorial power of the United States,” Trump’s attorneys wrote in a February motion to dismiss his classified documents case.

Now, it would appear, both Smith cases will disappear.

The news breaks after Trump ally Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham issued Smith a stark warning early Wednesday morning.

“To Jack Smith and your team: It is time to look forward to a new chapter in your legal careers as these politically motivated charges against President Trump hit a wall,” Graham wrote on X shortly after multiple outlets called Pennsylvania for Trump.

DOJ officials have apparently been forced to accept that no trial could be held for either case in the near future as Trump’s legal team would likely appeal both cases up to the Supreme Court, sources told NBC News.

United States District Judge Aileen M. Cannon had postponed the classified document case indefinitely in May, citing improper handling of evidence and issues with the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA). An immediate rescheduling, Cannon said, would be “imprudent” given “myriad and interconnected pre-trial and CIPA issues.”
