The Trump Investigation(s) Thread

Did he appeal the conviction? I wouldn't be surprised if he won't sit a day in jail.
This site says that he can appeal it if there are errors in the judgment. He will find some, I guarantee it.

Jack Smith is withdrawing his Jan 6 related indictment of Trump This was inevitable and saddens and angers me greatly. Trump will never be held to account for his attempt to subvert the Constitutiion.

Jack Smith is withdrawing his Jan 6 related indictment of Trump This was inevitable and saddens and angers me greatly. Trump will never be held to account for his attempt to subvert the Constitutiion.

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

Specifically:

“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.

Right, it doesn't speak to the gravity of the crimes charged, the strength of the Government’s proof, or the merits of the prosecution , It just speaks to the point that 'no one is above the law' is total bullshit.

Once he pardons all the Jan 6ers, it will be like nothing ever happened. Other than the obviously stolen 2020 election.

I learned this morning that my wife was high school friends with Jack Smith's wife.

They haven't talked in many years, but I would love if this meant we could get some kind of inside look at what's going down here.
