BREAKING: Jack Smith Drops Jan. 6 Charges Against President-elect Trump
The Democrat party’s lawfare campaign targeting Donald Trump continued its systemic collapse Monday as illegally-appointed special counsel Jack Smith filed a motion to dismiss the Soviet-style case involving charges over the Capitol riot that took place on Jan. 6, 2021.
Here’s an excerpt from a story at NBC:
WASHINGTON — Special counsel Jack Smith has filed a motion to drop all four felony charges against President-elect Donald Trump in connection with his effort to overturn his 2020 presidential election in the lead-up to the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the U.S Capitol.
Trump was first indicted on four felonies in August 2023: conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding and conspiracy against rights. The case was then put on hold for months as Trump’s team argued that Trump could not be prosecuted.
The indictment marked an extraordinary moment in American history — the first-ever accusation that a president sought illegally to cling to power.
The dismissal also marks a historic moment. Fifty years after Richard Nixon was forced by lawmakers from both parties to resign the presidency amid allegations of criminal conduct, half of American voters will return Trump to the presidency despite his own serious charges of criminal misconduct in office.
“The Government’s position on the merits of the defendant’s prosecution has not changed. But the circumstances have," Smith’s office wrote in Monday’s filing, adding that it is seeking to dismiss the charges ahead of Trump's inauguration, in line with the Justice Department’s longstanding position that it can’t charge a sitting president.
“That prohibition is categorical and does not turn on the gravity of the crimes charged, the strength of the Government’s proof, or the merits of the prosecution, which the Government stands fully behind," the special counsel added.

This case was a farce from the start, but the fact it was filed in a kangaroo court in Washington DC before an Obama judge made it possibly the most threatening of the array of lawfare cases brought against the former and future President. But now, it’s over.
Whether it is Pam Bondi or some other appointee, the next Attorney General simply must perform a full investigation of Smith, Merrick Garland, and the tactics employed in this case and by the congressional Jan. 6 committee, which was also formed in an illegal manner by Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Yes, the Dems and their media toadies will scream about “retribution,” but there simply must be harsh consequences brought to bear for this kind of distortion and perversion of the US justice system.
If no one is held accountable, then you can rest assured the Democrats will just do it all over again the next time the opportunity arises.
Enough.
That is all.
This was such a serious crime and threat to National Security that they raided Mar Lago; suddenly it’s not so serious and recommended for dismissal. Proof it was lawfare all along. Any investigation must include a federal criminal probe for conspiracy against rights under 18 U.S.C. § 241.
The importance of a full, fair and transparent legal investigation into all of this lawfare exercise cannot be understated. If we don't have the rule of law and, at the very least, a preponderance of equal justice under the law, we don't have a Republic or a nation. I pray the will is there.
