![]() Jack Smith’s team has learned the lessons of the Mueller investigation. In a 79-page filing, Smith’s team articulated its clearest case yet for Trump’s prosecution, repeatedly characterizing Trump’s false claims of election fraud as knowing lies aimed at defrauding election officials - from secretaries of state and governors to his own vice president, Mike Pence. Special counsel Jack Smith argued Monday that Donald Trump’s bid to subvert the 2020 election was far from a case of misplaced “advocacy” or constitutionally protected speech, and he urged the federal judge presiding over Trump’s Washington, D.C., trial to sweep aside Trump’s bid to “sanitize” his conduct… Trump’s threats - all completely plausible - come just days after federal prosecutors laid out their case against the former president in a remarkable 79-page filing that catalogs Trump’s cascade of deceit, fraud, and lies. “The question, with one year left on the clock, is: Who’s listening? “He’s said it all before he’ll say it all again,” writes Susan Glasser. “If I happen to be president and I see somebody who’s doing well and beating me very badly, I say, ‘Go down and indict them.’ They’d be out of business. “What they’ve done is they’ve released the genie out of the box”… If they do this, and they’ve already done it, but if they follow through on this, yeah, it could certainly happen in reverse.” Perhaps attention should be paid to his answer: In an interview on Univision, Trump was asked if he would indeed weaponize the FBI and Justice Department against his opponents. Earlier this week, the Wapo reported: “ Trump and allies plot revenge, Justice Department control in a second term.
