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.
Biden could’ve used Trump’s own tool - presidential impunity and either fired judges or plain locked up Trump or worse, first: forcing republicans repeal the law, two eliminating threat, and three - potentially painted as villain in history. I still marvel at how little Dems care for “the idea” and how much they care about their own bottom line 🙁
Democrats only exist to be a paper opposition to fascism. They are fine with it because they think they’ll be insulated
