CBS: Sources Claim Hired Gun Jack Smith Has “Sprawling” Evidence Against Trump (VIDEO)

Another day, another leak.

Special Counsel Jack Smith has “sprawling” evidence against President Trump, CBS News reporter Robert Costa said citing sources.

“Based on our reporting at CBS News, the special counsel has phone records,” Robert Costa said. “He has memos and diary entries from key witnesses, like former Vice President Mike Pence, key eyewitness testimony from people who are inside the Oval Office with Trump.”

Robert Costa continued, “But they had something in the special counsel’s office the January 6th Committee never had which is subpoena power to really go deep with witnesses and not just get public testimony and some depositions. They’ve gone deep and I’ve talked to people who participated in this investigation as lawyers, sometimes even as witnesses.”

“And it’s evident to me, based on my conversations with sources, that Jack Smith has a sprawling case against former President Donald Trump,” Costa said.

CBS reporter Jan Crawford appeared on “Face the Nation” on Saturday where she predicted the US Supreme Court would rule against Trump’s immunity argument.

“They are not going to rule that he is immune from criminal prosecution,” she says. “And I don’t think it’s even going to be close. It could be 9-0,” CBS reporter Jan Crawford said.

It’s like the Mueller investigation all over again. It never ends with these people. The same crap with the leaks and all.

I would like to see them all locked up and put away for good.
Imagine how good life could be for the whole world with leftists gone.

Sprawling sounds wide, shallow and complex. What they need is quality not quantity and a smoking gun. Doesn’t sound like they have much yet.

Sure... And Adam Schiff had ‘ample’ evidence of Russian interference too, remember?

If these fools are expecting DJT to be intimidated and bow out, they are bigger fools than I thought.

“Sprawling” as in “He tripped and was sprawled all over the sidewalk”?

Nope. It’s all lining up well. The Supreme Court will develop a standard for “Presidential Immunity” that, while not necessarily helping Trump, will demolish this defense for Biden, Obama and Clinton when their turns come. Meanwhile a trial will allow Trump to introduce the real evidence of fraud and foreign interference that all the other cases weren’t able to reveal due to rulings on “lack of standing”. Trump WANTS a trial on J6. He just needs to first knock out the potential “immunity” defense for his predecessors. Personal opinion, of course.

Smith’s conviction against former Virginia Gov. Robert F. McDonnell, a Republican accused of accepting payments and gifts in violation of federal public corruption laws, was overturned by the Supreme Court.

His case against former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina, a Democratic presidential candidate accused of illegally using campaign cash to conceal his mistress and love child, ended with a hung jury and mistrial.

His prosecution of Sen. Robert Menendez, a New Jersey Democrat accused of taking bribes, collapsed in a mistrial. In the Menendez case, 10 of the 12 jurors said prosecutors stretched the definition of the bribery and corruption statute and failed to make the case that receiving the gifts violated federal law.

The conviction of New York Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, a Democrat, on federal corruption charges was overturned by an appeals court. He was convicted during a second trial, but an appeals court threw out three of the six guilty verdicts.

Another hallmark of a Smith prosecution is leaking to news media. Several high-profile cases have been punctuated by news reports revealing evidence favorable to the prosecution. Another hallmark appears to be a broad interpretation of the law, resulting in several rebukes or failed prosecutions in Mr. Smith’s political cases.

He was named after his grandfathers, John Charles Smith (1916-1978) and Luman Hayes Rounds (1900-1967).

A leak means he doesn't have anything substantial hence he has to create rumors and talking points.

The mention of a leak IS the leak.

It would have been leaked if this was true.

“Special Counsel Jack Smith has “sprawling” evidence against President Trump, CBS News reporter Robert Costa said citing sources.”

If this evidence existed it would have to be revealed to Trump’s attorneys during discovery. I’m calling BS on CBS.

That’s an important point. Discovery should have prompted CBS to ask Trump’s team about these “sprawling” evidence. Robert Costa, or a CBS reporter, should have asked Trump’s legal team about phone records, depositions of certain witnesses such as Mark Meadows, as well as other evidence.

I doubt CBS knows anything and Discovery will tell Trump’s lawyers everything. Just more wishful thinking there is some smoking gun that really does not exist.
