Special Counsel Jack Smith finally spoke out about the indictment on Trump regarding the classified documents.
He only spoke for four minutes:
“I invite everyone to read it in full to understand the scope and the gravity of the crimes charged,” he said after the 37-count federal indictment of Trump was unsealed Friday.”The men and woman of the United States intelligence community and armed forces dedicate their lives to protecting our nation, and its laws that protect national defense information are critical to the safety and security of the United States, and they must be enforced,” Smith said. “Violations of those laws put our country at risk.”Trump was charged with “felony violations of our national security laws, as well as participating in a conspiracy to obstruct justice,” Smith said in a statement from his office Friday afternoon.
Smith said our laws apply to everyone, but I don’t hear anything about Hillary, Eric Holder, Joe Biden, or Hunter:
SMITH: “The men and women of the United States intelligence community and our armed forces dedicate their lives to protecting our nation and its people. Our laws that protect national defense information are critical to the safety and security of the United States, and they must be enforced. Violations of those laws put our country at risk. Adherence to the rule of law is a bedrock principle of the Department of Justice, and our nation’s commitment to the rule of law sets an example for the world. We have one set of laws in this country, and they apply to everyone. Applying those laws, collecting facts, that’s what determines the outcome of an investigation. Nothing more and nothing less.”
Smith wants a speedy trial:
SMITH: “The prosecutors in my office are among the most talented and experienced in the Department of Justice. They have investigated this case adhering to the highest ethical standards and they will continue to do so as this case proceeds. It’s very important for me to note that the defendants in this case must be presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable reasonable doubt in a court of law. To that end, my office will seek a speedy trial in this matter, consistent with the public interest and the rights of the accused.”
