The judge overseeing Donald Trump's election interference case has dismissed the case, after special counsel Jack Smith asked the judge to toss the case due to a long-standing Justice Department policy that bars the prosecution of a sitting president.
Smith earlier Monday moved to dismiss Trump's election interference case and the appeal of his classified documents case ahead of Trump's impending inauguration, due to the DOJ's presidential immunity policy and not because the charges lacked merit....
Predictable. Lots of blame to go around:
TRE45QN for being such a scumbag;
Garland for being so slow;
MAGAt Loose Cannon;
Jack Smith for being slowish, and ultimately wasting a bunch of our money.
However, I reserve the greatest animosity for the 49.9% of American voters who sent the known criminal DonOLD back to the WH and for those who stayed home.
Didn't read if the charges could be reinstated in 2029.
TV News: The charges were dismissed without prejudice. So, the charges could be reinstated after the DonOLD47 presidency*, but almost certainly won't be.
