The federal case against President-elect Donald Trump by the Biden-Harris « Justice » Department is over. Dead. The charges have been dropped by Joe Biden’s illegally appointed Special Counsel Jack Smith — who can add another shovel full of lost cases to his notorious legal boneyard.
In a novel move for Smith, he took a glance at the U.S. Constitution and had a sudden frisson of understanding that even the great and powerful special counsel can’t indict a sitting U.S. president. What’s left of the remaining January 6 « INSURRECTION! » case against Trump wouldn’t have made it into court until after he was sworn in, if it happened at all.
Nevertheless, in a filing on Monday, Smith noted that he was dropping the charges without prejudice, meaning that he or someone with the notion to continue the weaponization of the law against political opponents, could reanimate them. Or maybe that was a gift to Joe Biden so he could use the charges as leverage against the incoming president to get a pardon for his sick kid.
The moribund January 6 case against Trump, which was receiving mouth-to-mouth to keep it alive by federal Judge Tanya Chutkan, was tossed. Trump was charged with the old 1512c obstruction of an official proceeding and conspiracy charges.
