LOS ANGELES.–Democrats hope that 54-year-old Special Counsel Jack Smith can get out his final report on 78-year-old President-elect Donald Trump’s two criminal cases, already dismissed in November 2024 because Trump won the Nov. 5 presidential election. Department of Justice [DOJ] has a longstanding policy not to prosecute a sitting president, making Smith’s continued efforts futile. But the real problem with Smith’s two cases is the lack of facts all built of the highly partisan Jan. 6 House Select Committee. When Trump was acquitted in his second impeachment trial Feb. 13, 2021 for “incitement of insurrection,” 84-year-old former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was furious, deciding she would form the Jan. 6 House Select Committee to use every partisan Democrat or Republican to prosecute Trump. Pelosi continued her witch hunt against Trump.
Trump’s lawyers don’t want Smith’s final report released to the public before the Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearings on Cabinet appointees. Just like the final Mueller Report March 23, 2019, Democrats and the Trump-hating press wanted anything possible to stop Trump from running for president. Mueller concluded that there was no conspiracy between Trump or his campaign with the Kremlin in the 2016 election. Democrats, led at the time by Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), formerly head of the House Intelligence Committee, insisted he had proof that Trump colluded with the Kremlin to win the 2016 election. Schiff, of course, never produced an iota of proof for his unfounded charges, insisting to this day that Trump colluded with the Kremlin in 2016. When it comes to Special Counsel Jack Smith, he wants to show Trump was really guilty.
Smith has no facts or evidence that shows Trump planned, organized or participated in the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection, and was not part of his charges against Trump for trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Smith used the innuendo of Trump not intervening Jan. 6, 2021 to stop the Capitol riots, inferring from that he must be involved. Smith wanted to show in his criminal case against Trump that he knew Trump didn’t believe his statements that the 2020 election was rigged or he lost to election fraud. Democrats site the lack of any court to review case that showed irregularity in the 2020 election. Yet, to this day, not one election expert can account for 82-year-old President Joe Biden receiving over 81 million votes in 2020, four million more than Trump received in his landslide victory over 60-year-old Vice President Kamala Harris in 2024.
Smith doesn’t want the public to know his case against Trump was based on mind-reading, insisting Trump lied to the public when he said he won the 2020 presidential election. Smith insists that Trump duped the public into believing his lie that he lost the 2020 election due to fraud. But Smith can’t account for how Joe received four million more votes than Trump during a pandemic year when many voter stayed away from the polls fearing a Covid-19 infection. So the only accounting for the difference of four million voters were universal mail-in ballots that went to anyone registered in any state, whether they were dead or not or even verified signatures. So, no election official can account for how Biden received four million more votes in 2020 than Trump in 2024, other than universal mail-in ballots, something not subject verification or certification by any authority.
Trump really has nothing to worry about in Smith’s final report no matter how incriminating because both cases were already dismissed. Voters gave their verdict on the cases against Trump on Election Day, believing Smith’s cases were partisan-driven witch hunts. “The release of any confidential report prepared by this out-of-control private citizen unconstitutionally pos as a prosecutor would be nothing more than a lawless political stunt, designed to politically harm President Trump,” Trump’s attorneys’ wrote. But whether Smith’s report is released to the public or not, it’s already been rejected by voters on Nov. 5. If voters thought there was any substance to Smith’s charges, they wouldn’t have voted to make Trump the 47th president. Trump’s strategists are worried about the finding influencing Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee.
U.S. District Court Aileen Cannon, who dismissed the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case, ordered Smith not to release his final report until the U.S. Court of Appeals has time to review co-defendants emergency motion. Democrats and the press despise Cannon for dismissing Smith’s case, questioning whether he could operate as Special Counsel without Congressional approval. Whatever Cannon’s reasons, voters have moved on from Democrats futile attempt to stop Trump from running in 2024. When you think of all the legal cases against Trump, it’s remarkable that he was able to beat all the odds and beat Kamala. Voters got fed up with all the media gaslighting, refusing to accept Kamala as the next president. Democrats and the press have no one to blame but themselves.
