A report from Just the News says that Republicans in the House are scrambling to end the potential for prosecuting President Donald Trumpafterhe leaves office.
This comes after the same outlet first brokethe storyTuesday that during the lame-duck period of Joe Biden’s presidency, FBI agents with former special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into the 2020 election “secretly arranged to preserve their evidence until 2030 in memos that raise alarm they could revive their prosecution.”
“The FBI memos and emails closing out the controversial Arctic Frost investigation … show the bureau chose not to relinquish the evidence it gathered after Smith went to court to dismiss charges against Trump, even though that is the normal practice for agents,” Just the News reported.
“Instead, they created a preservation order keeping the evidence in FBI custody for two years after Trump’s second term ends, claiming it was necessary to do so because of ongoing litigation, the memos show.”
Because apparently, in 2029, a cudgel carried by theDemocrats since 2020will still be wielded against a president nine years later, no matter who the president is.
Ironically, this was revealed a little less than five months after Jack Smith said he was afraid he was going to be the guy prosecuted, telling the House Judiciary Committee that Trump administration officials would do “everything in their power” to charge him, but he would “not be intimidated,” according toThe Associated Press.
He also told the committee in his testimony that he believed “Donald Trump is the person who caused Jan. 6, it was foreseeable to him, and that he sought to exploit the violence.” Apparently, he didn’t watch the speech or he has evidence he’s not sharing with us.
Whatever the case, Smith, who was a nakedly partisan actor, claimed Trump committed “serious crimes” by contesting the results of the 2020 election.Other Democrat election-deniersremained unmentioned.
However, Smith’s case was dismissed without prejudice by U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, an Obama appointee, after the special counsel conceded that the Office of Legal Counsel had found a sitting president couldn’t be charged with a crime.
You would think this would be the end of the whole thing, but you may have noticed the whole “without prejudice” thing. That means it can be brought again — and, according to the new documents released by the bureau, that’s just what they’re aiming to do if a Democrat takes office again.
