Summary
Donald Trump signed an executive action revoking security clearances for attorneys at Covington & Burling LLP, the firm representing former special counsel Jack Smith.
The move escalates Trump’s targeting of those involved in past investigations against him. The administration is also reviewing Covington’s government contracts and considering similar actions against other firms.
Covington denies involvement in Smith’s investigations and is defending him in a personal capacity.
Smith previously led probes into Trump’s handling of classified materials and election interference, both dropped after Trump’s reelection.
It’s almost as if his behavior is treasonous.
Even I can’t think of a way to paint this as an “official act.”
SCOTUS will, though.
As long as trump does it it’s official, so above the law.
By that definition his assassination would literally be an act of patriotic service 👀
“He who saves his Country does not violate any Law.”
By any honest definition, really.
