The recent indictment of President Donald J. Trump on January 6 by Special Counsel Jack Smith is a slap in the face of our nation’s justice system. The indictment is a political attack disguised as a legal submission. Democrats are doing this because they know they can’t beat Donald Trump in a fair and square election in 2024. But justice will prevail.
Any sane lawyer will tell you that the charges Jack Smith filed against the president will not stand. President Trump ran the race as a candidate and as president, giving his own opinion on the issue. This is not uncommon.Democratic Party did the same After the 2000, 2004 and 2016 elections, it squandered precious public resources on fabricating dead-end Russiagate. It is illogical and frivolous to claim that President Trump’s actions amounted to interference in official proceedings. Moreover, there is a risk that the entire law will be extended to unconstitutional vagueness, risking future prosecutions against perhaps more deserving defendants.
President Trump has only exercised his First Amendment rights. The First Amendment to the Constitution allows all citizens to petition the government for relief. President Trump had every right to demand and guarantee the faithful enforcement of election law. It is incredible to accuse a former president of violating civil rights in order to exercise his constitutionally protected rights. Curiously, the indictment also omits President Trump’s exhortation to his supporters to keep the peace. Again, this act stretches the Civil Rights Act to this extent and creates a real danger that it will be unconstitutionally vague.
Many accusations also require a knowledge component: knowledge or belief that the election was perfectly fair. But anyone with no political intentions would say otherwise, especially given the steady stream of evidence pointing to the interference of various countries. intelligence agency FBI along with other government agencies to protect Biden before election Security related concerns. The idea that Jack Smith could prove this factor is ludicrous.
It’s also important to note that President Trump has already been acquitted of these charges. If a president is alleged to have exceeded his legal powers, the constitutional remedy is impeachment. Remarkably, President Trump went through this process and was completely acquitted of all charges. But now Jack Smith is looking to challenge Ringo once more in a more lucrative jurisdiction. Jack Smith’s only chance of success was in Washington, D.C., where 93% of the population voted for Biden.
Overall, this is a very problematic prosecution. This would have little legal effect and would jeopardize the constitutionality of a statute that could become important in the future. But Jack Smith doesn’t seem to care. He was not appointed as an impartial prosecutor or an adjudicator of truth. Instead, Attorney General Garland appointed Jack Smith to pursue Biden’s greatest political opponent regardless of the consequences.
This speaks to the fact that Garland has yet to appoint a special counsel to investigate Joe Biden as evidence mounts of his involvement in Hunter’s shady business dealings. What’s more, the special counsel assigned to Biden’s own document case is doing little and using minimal resources compared to the Trump investigation. The bottom line is that Democrats don’t care about the rule of law. Democrats are willing to abuse our judicial process for political gain.
We must put an end to this abuse of the justice system. The left is mocking our country for not being able to beat Donald Trump. We can’t leave it as it is. Justice must win, and justice will win.
