But why?
Make the fascist fire you.
- Because his job will now never be completed
- Because this also slightly diminishes the possibility that he’ll be politically prosecuted by the incoming admin - though to be clear, I fully expect the Trump DoJ to make Smith’s life a living hell, and to throw him in jail if they can, and perhaps even execute him if they can figure out how to kangaroo court things to that degree. That is not a joke. This is an entirely serious comment.
Why have a trial? SCOTUS already ruled President Trump is a king and can kill anyone so long as it’s an official act.
We are entering the beginning stages of fascism people. Hold onto your butts.
Because the cause for his appointment no longer exists. The OLC memo regarding the prosecution of sitting Presidents means that Smith’s appointment is frustrated at its most basic level of inception.
The Fascists will fire people with firing squads, there’s no shame in an act of self preservation when resigning from a job you can’t do might keep you alive.
just wait till Jack see’s all the new crimes trump is gonna commit, he’ll be back in business in a few years
The Supreme Court already rules that not only is Trump all but immune from prosecution, but that he can’t even be investigated or questioned over it.
So if Trump were to make a phone call and say “Yes, we’re going to sign this into law, and schedule a meeting about that other thing. Oh, and have Tom Hanks killed in a hail of bullets, kthxbye.”, the fact that he ordered Tom Hanks killed might be prosecutable. The problem is that even if they know he ordered Tom Hanks killed, they legally can’t even ask him about it because it happened during an official phone call.
Trump could go on a crime spree that would make the Mafia legitimately look like choir boys, and Jack Smith…well, Jack Smith isn’t going to be able to do Jack about it.
January 20, 2025 isn’t a swearing in ceremony. It’s a coronation.
yep, I hate it but at least it’s starting to sink in. come jan. we are in a functional trump dictatorship. there are no checks and balances left, the court assured so and with the legislative branch under his control, the single, only hope we have is that he’s too hilariously inept to be effective.
Dog… just stop with the copium. It’s embarrassing. Trump will never answer for his crimes, period. This should be abundantly clear after 8 years of flopped motions against him.
No Mueller report, no special council, no hush money case… is ever going to stop this guy.
Give up on the idea of justice against this dude and start preparing for his dictatorship.

Tldr; Every other possibility ends in dismissal with prejudice. Dropping it leaves it potentially reviewable in 4 years. It’s still highly unlikely anything happens.
Came here to post this. Legal Eagle breaks it down proper here.
There are rules for us, not them.
Thanks for all your hard work. Very meaningful.
The Darkest Brandon move would be to remove the DOJ policy on not investigating sitting Presidents. Many of these cases were clearly not under Presidential Immunity, and some weren’t even done while Trump was President. That should have consequences regardless of getting the job back or not.
The people clearly made their choice and intentions known. It’s a shame.
I dont think republicans picking whos vote gets counted and throwing all the other away, really counts as ‘people made their choice’
Are you suggesting that the difference in results is purely because votes were tossed? Yea voters rolls purged and gerrymandering, but the left didn’t show up, and that’s why Trump won. He has by all accounts more supporters than Harris did, and they made their choice.
The suspicious part was several states experienced a ton of people who voted for Trump, but voted straight Democrat downticket.
Stop acting like MAGA. I live in North Carolina. The state has voted Dems on the state level and Republicans on the federal level consistently since 2016. Even Trump distanced himself from Robinson after his Black Nazi porn shit came out.
Leave it up to moderate liberals to roll over and die. Way to signal his kingship guys, fucking top notch pick, that Merrick Galand. To think this ineffective dipshit was considered for SCOTUS. Literally a direct historical correlation to the rise of Hitler through ineffective and complacent liberalism from the socialist party. I guess when you construct a DOJ that doesn’t prosecute billionaires the whole thing short circuits when the tyrant is one… who could have predicted that except every leftist and historian?
