Not only did Jack Smith preemptively dismiss the charges against Trump, but he also apparently gave his lawyers the courtesy — yes, courtesy — of reviewing at least portions of his final report prior to release.
If this seems weird, it is.

Keep up the fight, and thank you, Marc.

America can stop bragging now. It can also stop saying it’s a country of laws, liberty, and honor.
It probably counts for very little in the USA these days, but it really is normal for lawyers to be publicly professional and courteous wrt court proceedings, including towards each other as 'opponents'.
IMHO, Jack Smith being accommodating with Trump's lawyers = shaming them.
And by then Trump will likely be dead already.
So this report is as useless as discovering Yanukovich's private zoo in Ukraine, after the Ukrainian people physically forced him to flee to Moscow.
We're beyond reports now.
😒
what does it have to take to learn and connect with the 'basics'?

Black women are.
These numbers are still devastating.
Those eyeholes didn’t sew themselves.
He stole her votes
That’s something like 28million women!!
Holy cow!!!
expect otherwise at this point.
When white women come out to vote, that is a sign of Republican electoral strength.
They're going to love price of things once tariffs kick in.
You could IF this was a fluke or deviation from the norms- but it’s not.
It’s a pattern. Record number of folks voted in 2020.
In 2020 White women increased their votes for orange mcdewsh canoe than in 2016. Then in 2024-doubled down.
We know cheater cheated, he stole HER votes and we need a new election to prove it
Immoral people and empty souls.
Dems really need to stop doing things like this. It may have worked decades ago, but now makes us look foolish and weak. Being polite and following norms is a waste of time right now. Be loud and aggressive.
Our democratic republic’s future is now relying on Trump being a lazy fool who only likes to play golf and call people names…😢
Exactly! 👍
Everyone now making nice to Merrick is sickening - and I'll bet the invitations to dinner are burgeoning.
DC sucks. On that issue, Trump is right.
judicial decisions that 1872 Amnesty Act does not shield J6 insurrectionists
Paid family leave
Voting rights
Federal minimum wage
Reproductive rights
Common sense gun laws
Fully funding Social Security
Address housing (corporate landlords)
Cannabis rescheduling
They could have had him 4 years ago and the DOJ did nothing but drag their feet. Why bother in 4 more years? He'll be so old and degraded mentally by then (at least that's what they told us about Biden).
We've been had.
It’s why so many veterans of both participated in the Jan 6 coup.
Only the people could stop fascism and hold the fascists accountable but history predicts that unlikely.
I fear we have reached a point in human history where there is no turning back. Democracy & human rights will suffer across the globe at the hands of oligarchs, dictators & climate till the end.
The Wimpocrats on the Judiciary Cmte let Bondi get away w making absurd statements abt Trump and Jan6.
Eg, she says she saw many instances of election fraud in PA—they could have said “name 3”, and why weren’t they in any court filing?
Replace Wimpocrats.
Damn, where’s that edit function when needed?
Biden and Garland slow-walked us into fascism.
This is exactly why Smith was hired by Garland. Garland wanted to bend over backwards to appear beyond fair to Trump, and he would only hire someone to serve as special counsel who was willing to do so also.
This whole thing proves that Republicans are EVIL, and DEMs are LAZY and/or INCOMPETENT, or BOTH!
I've been hearing more and more rumors of STOPCASA forming...
... and I am hearing that some are saying to do so with violence to match the political Right/Fascists, maybe even to include the use of guns or poisons or bombs!
I'd hate to see that happen!
But, I can't predict!
Into more critical thinking!
Why would Jack Smith do that ?
What am I missing ?
My respect for him was unwavering ! When the Supreme Court was against him and everybody was talking bad about him, I researched him and I have great respect for him. What am I missing?

You are correct about the gop.
Whatever fight they choose, BRING A LIGHT SABER TO IT. PUSH BACK. No Pasaran.
