Smith’s main problem is that he opened a real can of worms.

****************

The democrat judge will control the narrative and limit Trump’s defense strategies.

The best strategy is delay until after November 2024, after that we need some people on juries that are willing to nullify these bogus cases.

However, after the ridiculous decision in the anti Trump civil case in New York, I’m not holding my breath on jury competency.

“ Intentionally interpreting everything President Trump says for evil. “

How is Trump’s statement about his ‘… coming after you’ not a threat?

I don’t see where Smith needs any protection. Maybe a thicker layer of skin... Still smarting from Lawfare Smith and Lois Lerner attack on Tea Party.

The article states:

“All the proposed order seeks to prevent is the improper dissemination or use of discovery materials, including to the public...]

Sounds like the perfect platform for every manner of process-crime allegation to be schemed, hatched and foisted upon the defendant...

Didn’t Obammy say something like if they bring a knife we bring a gun?

That seems a bit more direct.

I don’t think he waited. He attempted to get courts to look at the evidence but the courts didn’t have the integrity or guts to take on the bag of worms that corruption in our election system is. If you don’t believe that, just look at the states that are going after Trumps lawyers for trying to bring the cases before their courts. Even the Supreme Court under Roberts (who I consider to be corrupt and lacking any character or integrity) refused to hear the case brought by Texas, claiming Texas had no standing. The Constitution specifically says contests between states are heard by the Supreme Court. So as far as I am concerned, Roberts failed to uphold his Constitutional responsibility. I think The courts failed in their duty because they were afraid of a Constitutional crisis caused by a corrupted and fraudulent election, thereby actually creating a Constitutional crisis of at least half of Americans no longer believing in our Judicial system. And the other reason I think the courts didn’t do their duty, is that it seem so many are part of the deep state or democrat or Rino — and to them, obviously, orange man bad and must be removed because he threatens them and their position in our society.

“IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I’M COMING AFTER YOU”

Seems like a perfectly appropriate statement from the leading Presidential candidate, in a campaign with at least a half dozen opponents, including the most corrupt incumbent in U.S. history.

Jack, if this statement bothers you, you’re about to become totally triggered; gird your loins man-child.

Smith needs his commie ass locked up. He’s a danger to the American Republic.

I thought public trials and right to confront witnesses was in the Constitution. I guess they amended it when I wasn’t paying attention.

However, Smith and other Democrats are approaching over-reach territory in their pursuit of destroying Trump.

No, Karen, they reached that territory long ago.

“Smith said the proposed protective order was not ‘overly restrictive,’ noting that it would still enable Trump to use discovery materials in his defense.”

Read it carefully. That is an amazing statement.

So in conclusion, Smith offers a tacit acknowledgment that he is “going after” Trump as he abuses his position at the weaponized DOJ.

Remember AOC cowering in a remote location Jan.6th because she imagined demonstrators really were going to abduct her and molest her? Absurd but the Dems at home eat up that kind of trash and believe it.

Dems want any excuse so they can soon say “We called out the armed troops and military vehicles around the country and this was necessary. The deaths of the Deplorables were justified in defense of democracy.”

Here's what I wrote, you quoted it yourself:

“ Intentionally interpreting everything President Trump says for evil. “

Nothing evil about going after cancer, except from the perspective of the cancer or those who profit off of the disease.

From a fmr Trump admin staffer:

Over the last few weeks the Jack Smith investigation has been drastically widened.

Now dragging in mid-level and junior campaign and White House staffers.

Even thought the indictment has been handed down, some are being forced to testify in the upcoming weeks.

Why are they doing this? Because it hurts the staffers financially. The average DC attorney to handle pre-indictment grand jury testimony costs between $20-50k. That’s more than half of what most the campaign staff would have made during their entire time on campaign

The goal here is clear, chilling of the right to free speech, reducing the right of free assembly, and to scare away GOP staff from future campaigns and administrations. This is the long battle and they’re fighting to win
