Smith Is Out

Jack Smith is done.

The special counsel appointed to investigate Trump moved to dismissed the case against the once and future White House occupant after it became apparent that it was useless to continue with his cases against him.  The United States is the only industrialized democratic country that does not allow, as an act of tradition, the prosecution of a sitting chief executive.

Trump got what he wanted.  He delayed the federal trials against him - with a little help from his friend, Judge Aileen Cannon in Florida, who oversaw and dismissed the classified-documents case.  Judge Tanya Chutkan will soon do the same for the insurrection case per Smith's request.  Smith deiced that he'd rather quit the cases rather than allowing Trump the pleasure of firing him himself.

Trump has more up his sleeve, though.  While Matt Gaetz will not be his Attorney General, a former Florida Attorney General - Bondi . . . Pam Bondi - has been taped for that position in place of her fellow Floridian Gaetz, and she has vowed to prosecute and investigate everyone in the U.S. Justice Department who prosecuted or investigated Trump, and if Trump gets his way . . . he will have that act of defiance classified as a crime equal to treason - so the defendants can be executed if found guilty.

In which case, Jack Smith had best make his way back to the Netherlands and the International Criminal Court where he can go back to judging crimes of retribution - before he's the victim of one. 

Jack Smith is indeed done.  So is the rule of law in These States.
