Jack Smith files to drop Jan. 6 charges against Donald Trump
President-elect Donald Trump faced four felony charges in connection with his efforts to overturn his 2020 presidential election loss, which culminated in the U.S. Capitol attack.

I’m disgusted with this country.
-
Everyone immediately rolled right over before election night even ended. There's almost zero fight from anyone. Disgusting is the perfect description.
-
Sure but this is his only move here given what the shit ass Supreme Court rules on presidential immunity.
Hopefully this orange asshole survives the four years and someone with a moral compass picks the car back up after/if he leaves but there's not a damn thing he can do now with Trump back in office and he's just got to wait until he gets indicted himself in political retribution from this orange fascist.

Hopefully he dies tonight, but the roaches always seem to be long lived...

Oh cool. The latest in a looooooooooooooooong fucking series of "Oh darn! Our hands our tied! We can't do this thing we never wanted to do in the first fucking place!" moments.

The best justice money and corruption can buy.

Legal justice has become a pipedream. The only options with any real chance of happening are vigilante justice or no justice.

which should fundamentally terrify anyone with a basic understanding of history.
Once the rule of law collapses, the empire is soon to follow.

I want him to get drunk, go on a podcast, and just spill the tea. What does he really think. I mean, I think I know, but I'd love to hear his honest opinion of the games that were played, who dropped the ball, and what he thinks of all the players, outside of what we glean from the filings.

Cold Ones suddenly looks very politically relevant.
-
Or maybe he could go on Hot Ones

-
He's probably walking a tight rope in the hopes his family doesn't get massacred.

-
Resist, unless you might suffer consequenses.
-
Guesses on what he was threatened with?
-
He is making a pragmatic decision that any reasonable lawyer would make.
DOJ policy is to drop a case like this. If he ignored policy then he would be fired by February before the case would even proceed. So no matter what he does, the case is dead and at least he got to write some words down. Basically the same as the three resonable justices on SCOTUS who have no power to do anything beyond write dissenting opinions that might matter sometime in the future.
It sucks, but Republicans have completed their coup from within the US government.

No need to guess. Project 25 is free to read.

He wasn't threatened with anything January 6th has always been a dog and pony show to keep Democrats riled up against Republicans in the hope that Democrats will stay in power. The oligarchy will never charge one of its own
