DOJ Drops Jack Smith Report on Trump in the Middle of the Night
Of course he did.
What a shock. Attorney General Merrick Garland dropped Volume 1 of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report regarding the investigation into President-elect Donald Trump’s supposed actions to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
Let me admit right now that I have not read it all yet since I’m watching the Hegseth hearing.
Smith stood behind his decision to criminally charge Trump.
“Although he did so primarily in his private capacity as a candidate, and with the assistance of multiple private co-conspirators, Mr. Trump also attempted to use the power and authority of the United States Government in furtherance of his scheme,” according to the report.
However, once Trump demolished Vice President Kamala Harris in November, Smith decided to dismiss the case.
Judge tanya Chutkan granted Smith’s request.
“But for Mr. Trump’s election and imminent return to the Presidency, the Office assessed that the admissible evidence was sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction at trial,” added Smith.
The DOJ alleged Trump “resorted to a series of criminal efforts to retain power.”
Those attempts supposedly included:
- induce state officials to ignore true vote counts; to manufacture fraudulent slates of presidential electors in seven states that he had lost;
- to force Justice Department officials and his own Vice President, Michael R. Pence, to act in contravention of their oaths and to instead advance Mr. Trump’s personal interests;
- and, on January 6, 2021, to direct an angry mob to the United States Capitol to obstruct the congressional certification of the presidential election and then leverage rioters’ violence to further delay it.

Comments
Here’s an idea: Prosecutors should not be allowed to discuss cases outside of the courtroom. They certainly shouldn’t be allowed to ‘write reports,’ which are nothing more than long-winded essays looking to score political points. This is nothing more than a vehicle for the government to legally leak grand jury evidence through Congress.
Smith shouldn’t have been allowed to write this report and neither should Hunter Biden’s prosecutor. This exercise does nothing but further politicize a DoJ that is already seen (appropriately) by too many as a political apparatus rather than an organization faithful to its name.
They’re not supposed to.
Rule of Professional Conduct 3.8
Special Responsibilities of a Prosecutor
The prosecutor in a criminal case shall:
(f) except for statements that are necessary to inform the public of the nature and extent of the prosecutor’s action and that serve a legitimate law enforcement purpose, refrain from making extrajudicial comments that have a substantial likelihood of heightening public condemnation of the accused and exercise reasonable care to prevent investigators, law enforcement personnel, employees or other persons assisting or associated with the prosecutor in a criminal case from making an extrajudicial statement that the prosecutor would be prohibited from making under Rule 3.6 or this Rule.
Jack Smith was NOT a special prosecutor… so no problem.
however since he acted under
color of law .. can he be investigated and tried.
Cult to arrive shortly to attack Smith and defend Trump.
Here are some signs that a group may be a cult:
Unquestioning loyalty: The group demands excessive loyalty to its leaders.
Authoritarian leadership: The group is led by an authoritarian figure with no meaningful accountability.
No tolerance for questions: The group does not allow questions or critical thinking.
Fear of the outside world: The group creates an unreasonable fear of the outside world, such as conspiracies or persecution.
Cult leader: The group has a charismatic leader who uses brainwashing to control members.
Extreme devotion: Members are extremely devoted to a person, object, or goal.
Illegal or dangerous behavior: The group engages in illegal or dangerous behaviors.
Group is always right: The group or leader is always right and the exclusive source of truth.
Who were the three protestors the Capitol Police picked up and removed from Pete Hegseth’s confirmation hearing? Who funded, incited, and motivated them to attend the Capital today during an official hearing? It sure looks like an insurrection attempt to me. But it’s okay if progressive Democrats do what trump supporters are accused of doing, right? I hope they are treated equally and inclusively and get to serve time in the DC Gulag.
Remember — Democrats are cool with planting bombs in the Capitol, but not with walking through doors opened by Capitol Police.
You just described the left including yourself. You need to see the Wizard. Just follow the yellow brick road and ask him for an independent thought.
Is that really the best you can offer? Your comment comes straight from the echo chamber of the TDS cult headquarters, Problem is, you’ve been rejected by the masses for crying wolf too long. No one is listening despite the delusion that is apparent. Get some help. The TDS cult is filled with hate and on a road to nowhere, and will try to ruin things for everyone else. So proud!
Cult leader: The group has a charismatic leader who uses brainwashing to control members.

Not playing the game. Sorry. You have established your TDS, however, because you can’t help yourself. Which is why you need help. Rage on!
I saw you marching in 2008, carrying your “Hope and Change” poster, with narcissist-incompetent-dunce, Obama’s, image, presented as a deified figure.
Interestingly, that same poster was framed and mounted on a wall, in your home.
You’re a card-carrying Obama/Dhimmi-crat cultist.
Are you related to JR? Or are your username and JR the same person?
Tread lightly in public, tbhtttthhh. The guys in the white jackets will drop a butterfly net over you, fit you with a custom jacket that ties in the back, take you away in a comfortable padded van to stay in a comfortable completely padded room and administer soothing medication. And a lot of soothing medication before the commitment hearing.
You idolize an attempted rapist and a felon. And believe everything he says. You really think your in a position to comment on anybody’s mental fitness?
Trump is the right’s Mandala — its Solzhenitsyn — its Count of Monte Cristo.
And he wasn’t born that way — it’s what your side made him.
Now cope and seethe from your momma’s basement, you impotent loser.
“Cult leader: The group has a charismatic leader who uses brainwashing to control members.”
JFC. Are YOU f***king stupid.
Shut up, Johnny.
CULT::
Black-and-white thinking
The group promotes a simplistic worldview that demonizes the outside world.
No questions

Unreasonable beliefs
Members believe the group or leader has the exclusive truth and that they are never good enough.
Have you found the box yet?
You’re a card-carrying member of the Obama, Biden and Harris cults.
Have yet to see you level a scintilla of criticism at any of these figures, or, any other Dhimmi-crat standard-bearer.
Apparently, in your fanatical and cultist mind, all Dhimmi-crats are infallible, benevolent, sagacious and beyond reproach.
i voted for McCain and Romney. So there goes that. You know back when integrity , competence and intelligence meant something in the GOP.
What a coincidence. I walked on the Moon before Armstrong..
Who are you calling an “impotent loser”, Henry? You’re talking to a woman, quarter-wit. Mom’s basement? Is that the best you can do with the one functioning brain cell that rubs up against the thin-wall skull you have? Puhleeze…
@drsamherman: If you go back and look at Henry’s previous comment, you will see that it was directed at the idiot Johnny-like troll, and not you. It’s just the way WordPress eventually runs out of the Reply option, and how it nests comments.
He wasn’t targeting you.
Sure you did. And I’m a better judge of mental competence than you are, tbhthhhh. Your side conspired, lied, and conned the public about a dangerously mentally incompetent man who held the Presidency for four years along with the media. So much for your “integrity”. You’re worse than any Marxist—at least they’re open about their hostility. You’re an amoral fifth columnist anarchist who just wants to burn it all down, and so much for your mental competence.
If you cite McCain and Pierre Delecto as alleged paragons of “integrity,” “competence” and “intelligence” — two of the most wishy-washy, most unprincipled and gullible GOP politicians of all time — who refused to help overturn Obamacare (with Romney having instituted the state equivalent of Obamacare, in Massachusetts, during his tenure as governor), and, who whored themselves out as shills to lend alleged legitimacy to the vile Dhimmi-crats’ sundry anti-Trump dirty tricks, subversion and sabotage antics, there is something profoundly flawed with your judgment and reasoning.
Charismatic leader
The leader is charismatic and narcissistic, and members believe they have special revelations.
Brainwashing
The leader uses coercive persuasion and brainwashing techniques to control members.
If you are in a cult, it can be difficult to recognize because people in cults often don’t realize they are in one.
You hold up McCain and Romney as competent and intelligent? ROTFLMAO.
You’re a leftist and a TDS sufferer. Ask mom for an aspirin to calm your rage headache.
Suffering fools: This group does not suffer utter fools like tjv1156.
You are doomed to buzz off into history, never having pollinated a single thought. [Paraphrasing one of my favorite quotes.]
Is tjv1156 really JR with a new name? Maybe his handler took away his laptop.
No. This guy doesn’t give me the opportunity to join him in upvoting his own comments to prevent loneliness to set in.
I’m still waiting on tjv to find that box.
Seems so. Or henrybowman in drag/dreg.
Here is another sign for you, will someone build a crucifix with jack Smith’s name as a symbolic message?
In the meantime assign a special prosecutor to look into Smith and his co-conspirators.
based on??? he released his report and as expected, it is full of airtight crimes backed by credible evidence. What should he be investigated for?
Possible crimes of course. Tax fraud, bribery, jaywalking, littering. Anything we can make up or change the statute of limitations on. We won’t know until he’s been thoroughly investigated of course. And then we should try him, regardless of the results of the investigation, just to be sure. You know. Just like you did with Trump. If smith is innocent, he has nothing to worry about. Right?
Nobody is going to investigate him. That’s just Trump blowharding.They won’t because , unlike Trump, there is zero evidence he did anythiing illegal. Z_E_R_O. Unlike Trump where there was a mountain of evidence which has now been revealed .

David…?

David…?
I’m no Biden fan and never have been. He’s just preferable to the ‘moron’ .
LOL, no rational and intelligent person earnestly believes that the corrupt crime boss/dotard whose fecklessness, stupidity and feebleness:
Facilitated wars on two continents; ushered in rampant and impoverishing 30%-plus Biden-Harrisflation; instituted idiotic, unfeasible, impoverishing and national security-compromising “green”/”climate change” diktats; engaged in indefensible funding, enabling and coddling of the Islamofascist and terrorism-sponsoring/engaging Iranian, Qatari and Hamas regimes; gleefully enabled the invasion of 10 million-plus illegal aliens and blessed the invasion of girls’ and women’s private spaces and sports by obnoxious and malignantly narcissistic male trannies, is preferable to President Trump.
Each one of your dim-witted posts reveals your foolishness. You’re a Dhimmi-crat cultist who egotistically and farcically fancies himself an allegedly “principled” conservative.
Thank you for that insightful analysis of the outgoing administration.
Tj, every single cult red flag you mentioned can be argued as being flown proudly by the TDS crowd, including yourself. Trump IS your own personal Emmanuel Goldstein. Just so you know, 1984 was meant as a warning, not a blueprint.
Especially red and waving is the abuse of the justice system to, as several officials leading the lynch mob promised, “get Trump” if they were elected.
Your “Trump can do no right” stance is merely the obverse side of the coin side declaring “Trump can do no wrong”. Same coin. Same flag. And your implication that all Trump supporters think “he can do no wrong” is just….. wrong.
Trump won by both electoral and popular vote, and at least part of that was due to opposition to him by folks like yourself and Adams et Alia. Your guys willingness to “burn down the village (ie American justice) to save it” left such a bad taste in so many mouths that combined with fear of the incompetence of the candidates offered up to oppose him, victory was his. He owes you guys thanks for that victory. Good job, I guess.
Just ONE example of your guy’s overreach is the “32 felonies” prosecution and (cult) mantra. The “felonies” in question are and were….
1) previously declined to charge by prosecutors.
2) failing other supporting crime like bribing a bank official, not even normally charged as misdemeanors.
3) bootstrapped up to felony level only by making new law lacking presidence to back it.
4) actually and arguably only ONE offense. At worst.
For that last bit, let’s examine how a bank robber is prosecuted. It’s a crime to brandish a firearm. In the course of robbing a bank, an armed robber will brandish his firearm repeatedly. No sane prosecutor or judge will go to trial charging each separate brandishing as a separate crime when bank robbery is the issue. Trump’s supposed robbery/fraud was submitting paperwork which (it was claimed, but not by the bank) overestimated the value of a property. The bank’s separate and independent estimation of value did not differ significantly. Is the bank being charged as well? The estimate paperwork referred to the estimate amount 32 times. So the novel arguement is that’s 32 separate crimes and not just one. It’s surprising, given that I’m sure more than one copy of the paperwork was printed, that they didn’t multiply that 32 by the number of copies as well to be consistent.
Its ridiculous that a “crime” that harmed no one, that every one who gets a mortgage or home equity loan could be charged with based on a suspicion that the homeowners valuation was too high was even charged. It’s beyond ridiculous that a court of law sanctioned this mess.
What cult leader do I follow? LOL.
How is that somebody who is disgusted by a dirtbag who couldn’t get hired at Macdonald’s or Walmart with his criminal resume is ‘deranged”? Explain that one to me.
you obviously didn’t do your homework on the law
“He pointed out that Section 63(12) does not require the government to prove that financial losses were incurred or that the defendant acted with intention to defraud. The persistent submission of exaggerated financial statements itself satisfied the statute’s definition of fraud, and the inclusion of vague, unenforceable disclaimers “cannot be used to insulate fraud as to facts peculiarly within defendants’ knowledge, even vis-à-vis sophisticated recipients,” Engoron wrote.”
https://www.newyorker.com/news/our-columnists/the-powerful-new-york-law-that-finally-brought-trump-to-book
The banks he supposedly defrauded testified in his defense that THERE WAS NO FRAUD.
this is the Trump morality. It’s ok to lie and cheat as long as you can get away with it. He’s bases his whole life on that . Is that what you teach your kids?
well- the judge nor jury bought into your legal theory. He was convicted on 34 counts.He can appeal it. He won’t win. Book it.
He already did. Fool.
Actually the appeal for the fraud case had a hearing already. Just a couple of questions the judge asked the NY AG were “if these people were defrauded why are they testifying in his defense and stating under oath they want to do more business with him? Can you name me a single case where this law has been used when no one lost anything? According to experts real estate brokers all over the city do this all the time, why is he the only one you are prosecuting.” With questions like that coming from the appeals court judge yeah I am suuuurre Trump won’t win.
when did
Dershowitz turn into a loony gadfly?LOL . Well maybe they should let Trump rebut it. With cross questioning.
Whatever you say, boss. Now you can scream at the sky along with Jennifer Rubin while the rest of us get on with winning.
Projection as usual. Stop talking about yourself
Well, now we know a cult does not actually need a charismatic leader. Its members need merely believe in climate change and hold signs in public reminiscent of 19th Century religious death cults likewise chanting “the end is near”, believing in narratives manufactured by sexual predators, cultists distinguish themselves with nose rings and pink/blue/yellow and other unnatural hair-color and cuts, and take vows to shun ordinary members of society who do not conform. These cultists are reflexive hysterics upon hearing a pronoun that properly identifies them or a thought the cult finds offensive. They ostracize, threaten and attempt to assassinate
those who disagree with the narrative. They spend their day and money plotting against their society, and the parents they feel did not do them justice. They are as a whole ill-educated because of the nature of schooling they have had, yet are convinced they are in some manner superior to those with far more practical knowledge. They are putty in the hands of bureaucratic and party manipulators who profess sympathy with the cult’s members.
Know anyone like that TJ?
We’re supposed to believe that a jury would have convicted Trump on all charges, given how badly the case was mishandled to start? Tanya Chutkan is the most anti-Trump judge out there, with the possible exception of Amit Mehta and Sotomayor—both whose arguments most consist primarily of “…Orange man bad…”. And as a kicker, Smith’s team, with their extremely dubious legal acumen, admitted not once, but many times, in the Mar-a-Lago documents case, to Judge Cannon that they mishandled the documents so badly that the evidence was, to use a medical term, prurulent. And given Jack Smith’s record in the past, e.g. his malfeasance at the ICC—that report is a pile of steaming Biden.
YEs. Given Trump’s history in court, and his well documented history of sleaze and lying,I’d say a conviction was 99% certin.
You call other people cultists while stating a 99% certainty that he’d be convicted without having read all of the evidence. You’re telling on yourself, cultist.
WOW. What hallucinogen are you smoking, injecting, or taking?? That megadosing is not a good idea….
You spelled cretin incorrectly.

Ah. Based not on evidence or anything actually related to the case, you are sure of conviction. In fact, jurors are forbidden to consider the things you mentioned. But they will lead to a conviction, according to you. And you wonder why the rest of us say the system is rigged.
Nobody is going to investigate him. That’s just Trump blowharding.They won’t because , unlike Trump, there is zero evidence he did anythiing illegal. Z_E_R_O. Unlike Trump where there was a mountain of evidence which has now been revealed .

Supposed to believe? A DC jury would have convicted Trump before they even took their seats.
They convicted him before they knew they were selected.
I guarantee you that a DC jury would, with a straight face, convict Trump of flying the plane into the Pentagon on 9/11
Hell, they would convict him of flying all of the planes.
CONCLUSORY.
Look it up.
Read the report and you’ll see how it should forever be a thumbnail in a legal dictionary next to that word.
Smith has been determined by a federal judge to not have been validly appointed a special counsel. That means his report is only his own opinion and should have no official standing whatever. It should never have been released and the judge wrongly failed to block the report disclosure through the DOJ. I suppose Smith could have written a book to have put forth his own opinion. if anyone cared to hear it.
Splitting hairs here. One judge correctly determined Jack was not a valid prosecutor in one case. A different judge refused to make that determination (which is different that determining he *is* legit). Jack tried to make his Report #2 with the judge who accepted his dubious credentials also include material in the Florida documents case regarding the two defendants who are still at risk of prosecution. That’s a serious legal no-no, but he tried, got smacked on the nose with a rolled-up newspaper, and blurted out this smoking pile of unsubstantiated doo. There’s a lot of hand-waving and no concrete evidence, but the media is happy to echo every wave of his hand.
If Jack was invalid, can he be charged with committing fraud against the United States?
Hew didn’t appoint himself. HE did nothing wrong. You would have to make that case against the person who appointed him and then prove it was willful negligence. It would be dismissed on summary judgment.
You really are a special kind of stupid, aren’t you.
Did Mom deprive you of your Maypo as a child?
This is is a typical Trump cult defense. Not that he didn’t do it, but some legal technality in appointing a prosecutor. SMH . It’s the mafia boss defense.

I hope Jack Smith had more than just those three “acts” to hang this pathetic case on, because they are all jokes. The alternate slates of electors is not a problem and never has been. The idea that he forced anyone to counter their oaths is laughable. If anything, he was urging people like Pence to honor his oath of office. And the kicker of the constantly bleated bald-faced lie of the “angry mob sent” in DC is a non-starter that only the most feverish leftist actually buys. Jack Smith says that Trump sent a mob while Liz Cheney said that he didn’t stop the mob. Which is it, children?? LOL.
Jack Smith is showing his colors. He worked for the evil, despicable nihilistic ICC. He is typical of the lowlife dirtbags that infest that criminal organization, sister entity to the Democrat party. Total scum.
Jack Smith has been one of the worst criminals in American history. What he has tried to do to this nation (and those who directed and supported him) is what is unprecedented and they all must be punished. It was an insurrection attempt from within, but not just to take over America but to open America up to being totally destroyed. These people are the lowest – the worst criminals in American history, which is really saying something.

Smith’s post-dismissal report is just gussied-up bar talk on DOJ letterhead. “Trump’s just lucky he won that election, ’cause Jack Smith was to set to give him a good Corn-poppin’ behind the gym!” But, somehow Smith never managed to get the case to trial prior to that election. So all this effort is just so much woulda-coulda that don’t mean Jack Shmit now.
Interesting. So Jack Smith made it all up. LOL.
Of course – Trump declassified everything. He never was told to return them. He never told people to lie. HAHAHAHAHA.
IF the Senate and House flip- likely- that will be thankfully be the end for ‘the moron’…and the Trump cancer.
