Special counsel Jack Smith said Monday that he is dropping his election subversion case against President-elect Donald Trump, seeking the case’s dismissal in a court filing with the judge.
This means the DOJ can’t just go after him recklessly. They have to build an air tight case against not just your average defendant, but Trump.
Otherwise they lose another case and Trump is empowered by it.
Like they did here leading to him getting away with a multitude of felonies? A single state government managed to successfully prosecute and convict him, but you’re telling me the DOJ with the full resources of the federal government couldn’t manage to do the same because it’s too hard?
Do you really think you know more than the DoJ about this situation?
Do you really feel like an “appeal to authority” argument is valid, especially in this context? You want to act like I’m an idiot because ‘they have a solid, air-tight plan’ as we’re here commenting on an article about how all charges against him have been dismissed. That sounds like the exact opposite of a solid plan. Who ever could have imagined that a defendent would try to delay their case from being heard in court? Obviously, this completely blindsided the DOJ as it’s such an unprecedented tactic, so it’s perfectly understandable why they have to let him walk away.

If they try and fail they can’t try again.

Nope I’m explaining to you what happened. They had to build a case first, that took time. By the time they were ready, a judge delayed the trial at Trumps request.

I’m acting like you’re an idiot because the trial was dismissed after Trump delayed it long enough to get re-elected and said he would fire the prosecutor.
But your armchair internet legal analysis is that it wouldn’t be delayed if they just did it sooner. Which doesn’t make any sense.
But if you really think you’re smarter than the entire DOJ then why don’t you go stop Trump. Show them how it’s done.
There’s no “if” about it. They’ve already failed and this trial will never happen.
By the time they were ready, a judge delayed the trial at Trumps request.
Based on what exactly? Can you provide some sources that actually state that they didn’t have enough to charge him until 2.5 years after his crimes occurred? What are you

Where did I state this exactly? I’m arguing that delays wouldn’t have mattered if they had charged him long before he’d already campaigned and won the Republican nomination. He was able to avoid a trial precisely because they waited until this point in time to do anything. Delaying is a common tactic in cases with people like him. Who couldn’t have seen that coming?

Well I can surely have a case against Trump dismissed as an armchair legal expert, so I guess that makes me equally competent to the best that the DOJ had to offer under Biden and the DNC’s leadership.
Smith said he was seeking to drop the charges against the president-elect “without prejudice,” which would keep the door open for charges to be brought again in the future.
Unless you’re pretending you can see the future.

Based on the order of events. You’re the one claiming they built their case then didn’t do anything until there was just enough time to delay. The burden of proof is on you to support that claim.

If they charged him before he would still delay. You said it yourself. It doesn’t matter when they charge him. Either way he delays until after the election.

You couldn’t even read the article or support your claim that the DOJ waited before charging Trump.
