Summary

Senator Lindsey Graham urged special counsel Jack Smith to end his legal cases against Donald Trump after Trump’s projected 2024 presidential victory.

Graham criticized the charges as “politically motivated” and claimed the American public was tired of “lawfare.”

Smith, appointed in 2022, had charged Trump over classified documents and his role in the January 6 Capitol attack. The Supreme Court’s recent decision limiting prosecution scope bolstered Trump’s legal position.

Trump, convicted in a separate case involving business record falsification, has indicated plans to dismiss Smith upon taking office in January.

        All republicans who refused to fall in line with MAGAtism at pretty much all levels of public representation have been beyond destroyed politically.

        Look at all of trumps “enemies” and those he calls “traitors” to see the ones eliminated based on his word.

        “yet” is one of the few things keeping me going.
