Summary
Donald Trump’s lawyers are seeking to block the release of special counsel Jack Smith’s final report on two prosecutions, claiming it could harm the presidential transition and be seen as a political act.
The report is expected to include damaging details about Trump’s alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election and hide classified documents.
Trump’s legal team has requested that Attorney General Merrick Garland fire Smith and defer handling the report to Trump’s incoming attorney general.
Smith plans to resign before Trump’s inauguration, but the report’s release remains “imminent.”
My experience is limited to transitions between sane presidents who, you know, didn’t have criminal investigations let alone charges against them.
Again, assuming a sane president elect, odds are they would have received a copy of the report of “a high profile individual”.
This is uncharted territory where our incoming president has committed crimes warranting a federal investigation and charges. This alone should have been disqualifying but it is looking like for the GOP, it’s now a requirement to run for office.
The conflicts of interest have reached comical levels. I personally agree with you: Biden should have restricted the sharing of the report. After all, this is all “customary”.
Democrats are helping us slide more into fascism and they can’t be bothered to stop.
