Regime Very Special Prosecutor Jack Smith Indicts Trump Again

He narrowed the charges to pretend to comply with the Supreme Court's ruling on presidential immunity -- but he's done nothing to cure the fact that he's an illegally-appointed prosecutor. Special prosecutors are supposed to be confirmed by Congress, and have their funding approved by Congress.

Smith was appointed by Merrick Garland and is funded by funds Merrick Garland decided himself to provide.

Special counsel Jack Smith has filed another indictment against former President Trump in the election interference case on Tuesday.
The new charges narrow the allegations against the Republican presidential nominee following a Supreme Court ruling that conferred broad immunity on former presidents.
Sources familiar with the matter tell Fox News that discussions surrounding the superseding indictment will likely not speed things up, and it is unlikely it will go to trial before the November election.

This article suggests that Very Special Prosecutor Smith hasn't "narrowed" the charges at all -- it's the same four charges, but this time with Very Special Arguments that Trump acted in his personal capacity in... checking to see if Georgia's vote tallies were right, among other actions.

He says that's a non-presidential action, and he thinks that's all there is to it.

No. The Supreme Court said the president has immunity even for actions taken at the "outer limits" of his presidential authority, which would certainly include making sure that vote counting was done properly.

And he's supposed to have a full hearing on these issues -- Smith is ignoring that. He's basically saying, I conducted the hearing in my head, and Trump lost, so I'm going to shit out another near-duplicate indictment.

As for the dismissal of the entire Florida part of the case due to Aileen Cannon determining he was illegally appointed, he's submitted an appeal in which he attacks Cannon and suggests she's a rogue judge.

Special counsel Jack Smith on Monday appealed federal Judge Aileen Cannon's ruling dismissing his classified records Mar-a-Lago case against former President Donald Trump, arguing that his appointment is valid.
Cannon, the U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of Florida, last month dismissed Smith's case against Trump, ruling that it violated "the Appointments Clause of the United States Constitution."
Cannon said Smith's appointment of special counsel was unconstitutional.
But Smith appealed Monday.
"The Attorney General validly appointed the Special Counsel, who is also properly funded," the filing states. "In ruling otherwise, the district court deviated from binding Supreme Court precedent, misconstrued the statutes that authorized the Special Counsel's appointment, and took inadequate account of the longstanding history of Attorney General appointments of special counsels."
"The district court's contrary view conflicts with an otherwise unbroken course of decisions, including by the Supreme Court, that the Attorney General has such authority, and it is at odds with widespread and longstanding appointment practices in the Department of Justice and across the government," Smith argued. "This Court should reverse."
Smith also argues that he was "properly funded through the congressionally enacted 'permanent indefinite appropriation' to 'pay all necessary expenses of investigations and prosecutions by independent counsel appointed pursuant to'" U.S. code.
"The district court's contrary conclusion depended solely on its erroneous determination that no 'other law' supported the Special Counsel's appointment," he continued. "Because its premise was wrong, so was its conclusion."
The Appointments Clause says, "Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the Supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States be appointed by the President subject to the advice and consent of the Senate, although Congress may vest the appointment of inferior officers in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments."
Smith, however, was never confirmed by the Senate.
...
Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung reacted to Smith's appeal Monday evening, saying every case against Trump should be tossed.

"As we move forward in Uniting our Nation, not only should the dismissal of the Lawless Indictment in Florida be affirmed, but be immediately joined by a dismissal of ALL the Witch Hunts," Cheung said. "The Democrat Justice Department coordinated ALL of these Political Attacks, which are an Election Interference conspiracy against Comrade Kamala's Political Opponent, President Trump."
He added: "Let us come together to END all Weaponization of our Justice System, and Make America Great Again!"

Smith is really ratcheting up the rhetoric against Cannon to get her removed from the case.

Does that work with Judge Merchan or DC judge Chukan or nah?

Nah, right?

Posted by: It's me donna

No, he can't actually. Right now the schedule is for a required immunity hearing by Merchan first about the third week in Sept. A day or two before sentencing is currently scheduled. After that hearing, Merchan has to release his ruling on immunity that is immediately appealable to appellate courts (and perhaps a collateral federal challenge).

Even Bragg is backing off and suggesting he is amenable to a later sentencing date the last time I checked.

If the whistleblower account is correct, Jack Smith is dirty and his actions on the ICC (International Criminal Court) were criminal in nature. See above for the link.

That makes him personally vulnerable to being charged and sent to prison if Trump wins.

Prosecutors are even less popular in prison than are cops.

The idea is to keep it in the news as much as actually winning in court. DOJ and its pets have been doing this shit since Nixon with most lawfare prosecutors ending up losing. Only the targets change.

Indep Prosecutor Walsh had such a boner to get Caspar Weinberger over Iran Contra despite clear evidence that Caspar advised against it. Took a pardon by GHWB to end that charade as GHWB went out of office.

Fitzgerald's persecution of Scooter Libbey ranks up there with classic injustice while excusing the actual culprits which was shitbag Colin Powell and Richard Armitrage (calling him a viper would be too kind).

A lot of this could have been resolved had Session fallen on his sword, Pence admitted that he lied to reporters, and Rod the Rat Rosenstein never had been allowed to run the DOJ.

Slimy Bitch McConnell and his crony caucus in the Senate likewise are to blame for their interference in vastly restricting who Trump was allowed to appoint.

Now we find out that Pual Ryan, a right vicious backstabbing bastard, had the Pee Gate Dossier all the time and it has now come out that McCarthy saw it too before without informing the GOP Chair of the Intel Committee for over four years.

My analysis doesn't speak to Smith being dirty, that's obvious from his history, I'm talking about how these f**kers view Trump.

They view him as some sort of Mob Boss where anything and everything is permitted because you are going after a bad man.

If you listen to how Comey, McCabe, Stroke Struck Smirk talk about Trump, they similarly use mob allusions to refer to him.

Contend, O LORD, with those who contend with me; Fight against those who fight against me. Take hold of buckler and shield, And rise up for my help. Draw also the spear and the battle-axe to meet those who pursue me; Say to my soul, "I am your salvation." Let those be ashamed and dishonored who seek my life; Let those be turned back and humiliated who devise evil against me. Let them be like chaff before the wind, With the angel of the LORD driving them on. Let their way be dark and slippery, With the angel of the LORD pursuing them. For without cause they hid their net for me; Without cause they dug a pit for my soul. Let destruction come upon him unawares; And let the net which he hid catch himself; Into that very destruction let him fall.

Amen, Lord.

Posted by: bluebell at August 27, 2024 07:11 PM (bS+DD)

150 Before dismissing the case, Judge Cannon, very nicely, asked the Department of Justice to fix the problem by a) appointing a confirmed district attorney to oversee Jack Smith, or b) getting the democratic Senate to confirm Jack Smith as a special prosecutor.

But Smith and Garland refused to do either. I suspect no federal prosecutor could be found that would agree to front the case, knowing it was a dog, and would ruin their reputation. Also, they won't go to the senate because I suspect they *know* Jack Smith wouldn't be confirmed by the Democrats.

So, they have to try and bully this into being, because the checks and balances for this case would immediately check and balance them. Again, there isa simply remedy for the problem, and they won't avail themselves of it, because it adds oversight.

Couple of things...

A. I'm not sure why you would need a special prosecutor to prosecute this particular case, so why can't Garland say, ok, he's not a special prosecutor he's just one my prosecutors?

B. Cannon kind of wussed out by not ruling on the merits, which were always bullshit, now all that is going to happen is some judge or judges above her are going to say, you might be right but we will allow it this time or simply just make up some bullsh*t like judges often do.

176 I'm not sure why you would need a special prosecutor to prosecute this particular case, so why can't Garland say, ok, he's not a special prosecutor he's just one my prosecutors?

Garland has argued from Day One that he is not "supervising" Smith - that Smith is completely independent.

Acknowledging that Smith is a subordinate, who is carrying out Garland's orders, puts certain obligations on Garland.

C. I guest I could look it up, but if all that is necessary to appoint a SP is for a simple majority of the Senate, then then the Donks have the numbers to simply appoint Smith.

Fine - let them do that. Without Senate confirmation, Smith has zero legal authority.

B. Cannon kind of wussed out by not ruling on the merits, which were always bullshit, now all that is going to happen is some judge or judges above her are going to say, you might be right but we will allow it this time or simply just make up some bullsh*t like judges often do.

C. I guest I could look it up, but if all that is necessary to appoint a SP is for a simple majority of the Senate, then then the Donks have the numbers to simply appoint Smith.

Posted by: Thomas Bender at August 27, 2024 07:21 PM

merrick garland could have done that from day one but he did not. There are a couple of reason why he did not.

No prosecutor with a career to look forward to would have taken this turd. It's a loser case and everyone knows that. Even if you somehow get a conviction it is going to be overturned on appeal.

Plus there is no way any democrat senator in a swing state would have voted to appoint jack smith to the case as that would have been the end of their career.

203 "but this time with Very Special Arguments that Trump acted in his personal capacity in... checking to see if Georgia's vote tallies were right, among other actions.

He says that's a non-presidential action, and he thinks that's all there is to it.

No. The Supreme Court said the president has immunity even for actions taken at the "outer limits" of his presidential authority, which would certainly include making sure that vote counting was done properly."

No. Trump wasn't "checking to see if Georgia's vote tallies were right" - he was asserting that they weren't, and ordering the Georgia SOS to make up votes for him to close the losing margin.

That's not just not "making sure that vote counting was done properly", that goes into actively making sure it wasn't done correctly.

"What I want to do is this. I just want to find, uh, 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have, because we won the state."

As long as you admit that checking that the vote was conducted correctly is within his official acts, you cannot indict for him trying to cheat. Your only remedy for such a misdeed is impeachment.

The discussion is if it's an "official act." If someone with absolutely no political office can do it, hard to argue it's an "official act!"

And if Biden and/or Harris lost a state in 2024 by 10k or so votes, then called the SOS to demand they "find" votes, MAGA would be rightfully demanding their head on a platter.

Posted by: Glenn John at August 27, 2024 07:50 PM (AQXO2)

213 At any rate, even if you uncovered proof that Biden and Harris were part of some government criminal conspiracy against Trump, thanks to the Supreme Court ruling Trump demanded, it'd be impossible to prosecute them for it.

He needs to be put in prison for arrogating unto himself powers of an office he was never lawfully appointed to and I look forward to Trump's AG doing just that.
