Summary

Special counsel Jack Smith dropped 44 federal charges against Donald Trump, citing DOJ policy that sitting presidents cannot be prosecuted.

The charges, including election interference and classified documents retention, could be refiled after Trump’s presidency.

Critics, including Rep. Dan Goldman and former Capitol officer Aquilino Gonell, decried the move as a miscarriage of justice, asserting it places Trump above the law.

Trump and allies celebrated the decision as a victory, with Vice President-elect JD Vance vowing to prevent similar prosecutions.

Democrats fear Trump will seek political retaliation, deepening national divisions.

    The only thing that Reagan worked towards was the jar of jelly beans in the Oval Office. He was an actor and the last three years his mind was gone to Alzheimer’s.

    Now if your meaning Reagan as you in his apparatus that actually made all the decisions then yes you are correct.

        Pretty much the same I guess. It really is the people behind Trump making these policy decisions not Trump himself.
