The Justice Department and special counsel Jack Smith made a “tragic choice” in deciding to go after former President Trump, argues Harvard Law professor Jack Goldsmith in a New York Times essay. To be clear, it’s not a defense of Trump—Goldsmith calls the former president’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election “reprehensible.” But even if Smith is able to get a conviction, it won’t be worth it, because “the costs to the legal and political systems will be large,” warns Goldsmith, and they will only “compound the harms to the nation from Mr. Trump’s many transgressions.” Goldsmith lays out the context, including the “deeply unfortunate timing” of the indictment coming amid the 2024 race. The Justice Department’s motivations might be “pure,” but the perception of unfairness is real for Trump supporters, writes Goldsmith.
This comes after similar gripes about the FBI investigation of Trump’s ties to Russia and complaints that Democrats such as Hunter Biden have gotten preferential treatment. And it is within this context that a large part of the nation will “fairly judge” the legitimacy of this case. Thus, the “prosecution may well have terrible consequences … for our politics and the rule of law,” Goldsmith warns. For one thing, expect more “tit-for-tat investigations of presidential actions in office by future Congresses.” Not that these concerns should absolve Trump, he adds.
They are now panicking. All they have left is to agitate the public into a “real” insurrection so they can declare martial law before the next election.
His reference to President Trump trying to overturn the 2020 election is false. The legitimate outcome of the election was already overturned by the cheating.

They took steps to try and squelch that today.

Brad: We know that the FBI investigating it’s self will result in more cover up BS. Thanks for the link
The DOJ motives are far from pure……
I wonder how much brass that guy in Utah had around him.
