Supreme Court on Jack Smith: A threat to separation of powers.

[Billiejeens]

Hack is putting it kindly.

He's a Democrat hatchet man and pure psychopath.

Absolutely.

 

[RhodyPatriot]

Liberals, not the left.

You're quite pedantic with this "Liberals vs. Left" shit.

And wrong.

Smith has been proven to be a political hack. He has no morals.

He should be disbarred, not in charge of prosecuting Biden's biggest political opponent and threat for reelection.

Jack Smith's Long History of Failed Prosecution Cases Against Republicans​

Smith prosecuted the former Republican governor of Virginia, Bob McDonnell. The U.S. Supreme Court later overturned the case in a unanimous 8-0 decision. The Court observed that “there is no doubt that this case is distasteful; it may be worse than that. But our concern is not with tawdry tales of Ferraris, Rolexes, and ball gowns. It is instead with the broader legal implications of the Government’s boundless interpretation of the federal bribery statute.”
The Supreme Court also rebuked Smith and warned that “the uncontrolled power of criminal prosecutors is a threat to our separation of powers.”

So far this year Trump has paid Melania's hairdresser $260,000 out of political donations.

You're a moron. McDonnell hinged on statutory language (which the court found to be overly broad) and the jury instructions that had been given by the trial court surrounding that language. The SCOTUS overturned the conviction based on the statutory language and the jury instructions being faulty.

To convict the McDonnells of bribery, the Government was required to show that Governor McDonnell committed (or agreed to commit) an “official act” in exchange for the loans and gifts. The parties did not agree, however, on what counts as an “official act.” The Government alleged in the indictment, and maintains on appeal, that Governor McDonnell committed at least five “official acts.” Those acts included “arranging meetings” for Williams with other Virginia officials to discuss Star Scientific’s product, “hosting” events for Star Scientific at the Governor’s Mansion, and “contacting other government officials” concerning studies of anatabine. Supp. App. 47–48. The Government also argued more broadly that these activities constituted “official action” because they related to Virginia business development, a priority of Governor Mc-Donnell’s administration. Governor McDonnell contends that merely setting up a meeting, hosting an event, or contacting an official—without more—does not count as an “official act.”

At trial, the District Court instructed the jury according to the Government’s broad understanding of what constitutes an “official act,” and the jury convicted both Governor and Mrs. McDonnell on the bribery charges. The Fourth Circuit affirmed Governor McDonnell’s conviction, and we granted review to clarify the meaning of “official act.”

He is being charged with spreading misinformation.

This indictment is a bigger joke than the Bragg indictment.

Never thought those words would ever be said.

More townhall BS. It is right wing fascists who have no morals. They will lie and cheat and do whatever it takes to go after their political enemies. Trump's lawyers should be disbarred.

Projection!

He looks like a serial killer, he has the dead eyes.

yes Jack has been a sword used by Demafascsit to go after poltiical rivals.....here he was for Obama.

 

[struth]

The corrupt Republican Criminal Cult of Trump are the ones abusing their authority. They are using rumor and innuendo and no facts to make their case.

huh? Trump doesn't have to make up the case....he's the defendant...what sort of backwards demafacsit utopia do you think we live in where defendant have to prove their defense???

 

[Skylar]

The evidence that Jack has presented is pretty damning.

Trump ordering that evidence be destroyed within hours of being notified about the tapes? Recordings of Trump admitting that he was showing secret documents that hadn't been declassified.

Twice.

Text messages about hiding evidence. Hell, even Trump's own lawyers admitted that Trump tried to convince them to break the law and hide evidence.

You ignore all that. The grand jury didn't.

He hasn't presented any.....we haven't even set a court date. Try again

So you're just gonna straight up ignore the indictments? The recordings that have already been released? The list of classified docs that authorities seized from Trump's residence?

Oh, wow. Good luck with that.

indictments aren't evidence....they are accusations. duh

Charges are accusations. Recordings are evidence. Documents are evidence. Transcripts are evidence. Testimony is evidence.

And Jack has shared plenty of each in the indictment.

You simply refuse to look at it. Good luck with the willful ignorance. It won't change any legal outcome.
