Jack Smith's resignation plans are another confirmation of the president-elect’s abiding ability to escape legal and political accountability.

Summary

After facing nearly 100 felony charges, including a historic conviction for hush-money payments, Donald Trump’s legal troubles appear to be stalling.

Jack Smith, the special counsel leading key federal cases on election interference and classified documents, reportedly plans to resign following Trump’s recent election victory, which effectively nullifies these cases.

Trump’s return to office, combined with Supreme Court rulings enhancing presidential powers, signals he may face minimal accountability.

This lack of oversight could empower Trump’s administration to act with unprecedented legal and legislative freedom.

    The investigations into January 6th and the classified documents were slow-walked beyond belief. Trump didn’t even announce reelection until after the FBI raid. That was in August 2022! 20 months after January 6th.

    If you or I did any of this we would have been in a government black site, not free to run for reelection.

    Trump won’t have the same hesitation when he starts his revenge tour.
