Be of good cheer, the insufferable Lawfare attack was always going to end thusly. Special counsel Jack Smith has filed a motion to dismiss his criminal case against President-elect Donald Trump surrounding J6 and the proclaimed to subversion of the 2020 election.
In a 6-page filing [AVAILABLE HERE] Jack Smith says, “Justice Department policy prohibits him from continuing the case.” Smith is using the election as the justification to save face.
[Source]
The case was never about the merits of unlawful conduct targeting President Donald Trump. The case was always about Main Justice, via Lisa Monaco and the crew of lawfare ideologues, trying to influence the election outcome of 2024. The dismissal of the case was a foregone predetermined conclusion that was always going to surface after the election.
The reality behind this non-pretending perspective is exactly why the DOJ insiders were very nervous about Matt Gaetz.
Now it’s our turn.
I’m afraid that’s not allowed
It is now. The rules have changed. This isn’t the GOPe anymore.
Not unless Bondi’s “change the culture” morphs into “jail time for the evil ones”.
Not holding my breath on that one.
‘Change the culture’ … lol.
Funny how this is the only possible approach to addressing deep and blatant DoJ corruption, but when it comes to nonsense like systemic racism of local police departments, the only answer is to defund the mfers.
Agreed, and the subversion of Justice for the evil ones is well underway.
“change the culture” = Chrissy Wray’s employee training and seminars
Not with the “our turn” players named so far …
Scurrying rats gonna scurry.
“That prohibition is categorical, and does not turn on the gravity of the crimes charged, the strength of the Government’s proof, or the merits of the prosecution…”
Translation: I think he’s as guilty as sin, and but for this pesky little technicality called the Constitution, I’d still be trying to throw him in the slammer.
I doubt Smith thinks Trump is guilty of a crime. More likely, he thinks Trump is guilty of the “arch-sin” of exposing the swamp for who they truly are and represent to the American public and the world.
That may be the Swamp’s reason, but I think Smith really is a true believer, which may be why they picked him.
Smith was chosen because he’s a ruthless evil partisan. Just look at this miserable excuse of a human being. He knew he wasn’t duely appointed, just as he knew the charges were bogus. The guy is seething with the Devil’s bile.
He is Inspector Javert to Trump’s Jean Valjean. I read that the case could be reopened after President Trump’s term is up. In the meantime, there’s a respite.
He is true believer because of “their” relentless bashing of President Trump in their mockingbird media. It is amazing to me the amount of damage they were able to accomplish with their constant barrages of vitriol.
People are gullible…TDS is very real.
Is jack smith any kin to mr smith in the matrix?😳
a true believer in evil
not in the facts or the law
Smith was taking orders…as in the Godfather 2…who gave the order?
It’s not personal…it’s strictly business…
Smith’s non-exoneration is written similar to the Mueller report’s non-exoneration.
Both were probably ghostwritten by the same lawfare practitioners (Lisa Monaco, Mary McCord, Norm Eisen and Andrew Weissmann)
Payback is a bitch.
I hear the creaking and grinding sound of the tables being turned…..🍿☺️
The mill of the Gods grind exceptionally slow, but exceedingly fine!
F’ed around and found out. May all his attempts to flee be blocked, and the forces of good bankrupt him and all those working with him only to end up penniless, zero security clearances, and begging for media work from going bankrupt MSM organizations more worried about their own asses being hung out to dry than some now exposed has been. Karma is always a bitch, but just.
Nervous about Gaetz…not so much about Bondi. Wonder if this was the trade off. Give us Bondi and we drop the charges asap, no harm no foul.
Disagree.
Bondi looks to be as motivated to flush the DOJ as about anyone. She will go after them as far as Trump wants her to.
We all hope that you’re right but McConnell, Thune and Romney hated Gaetz but love Bondi!
Why?????
I dispute that those RINOs “love” Bondi 😎
In a binary choice between Gaetz and her would they choose her? Sure.
If they could choose between Bill Barr again and her? Barr all day long.
I get it that many here, including Sundance, don’t like how she operated in the Zimmerman case. But tne issue at hand is whether she is in sync with Trump about fumigating the DOJ or not. I think that she is. In fact, I think she relishes the opportunity.
Exactemundo.
Let us pray she never concocts a false witness against you, or Trump!
Sundance is not the sort to let optimism blind him to the facts. Past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior, and Pam Bondi has a history of very bad behavior. Not all bad – but bad enough.
Notice all the little piggies squealing about Matt Gaetz are suddenly quiet.
Pam might surprise us. But she has to prove her bona fides before I’ll trust her.
Fair enough. Frankly, ALL of them need to prove their bone fides 😀
“Changing the Culture” doesn’t sound too encouraging, for those who expected “prosecuting and jailing the Evil ones”.
She will be handicapped by the Treyvon case. It will come bite us in the butt. They are laying in wait to use it strategically.
JOHNSON LOVERS STRIKE AGAIN!
They don’t know her? Buttering her up in advance because they know she’s inevitable? Could be a number of reasons besides her possible weakness.
Because they continue to underestimate Donald J. Trump
.
I hope you’re right, but I know you’re wrong. We’ve seen this movie too many times.
Yup. Like 8 years ago when everyone thought Jeff Sessions was “The Man For The Job”
How well did THAT work out?
I trust Pam Bondi as far as I can throw her.
Lucy and the football.
Trump would not entertain a deal.
Jack Smith and his cohorts still needs to be investigated and charged.
Yup, and let’s hope and pray that Bondi is running the woodchopper.
It’s a shame President Trump can’t get a refund on the millions he spent defending himself from this farce.
At least it’s over. Jacksputin can go now… 😁🇺🇸🙏👍
Trump could sue Smith because he was not appointed legally. That would be a BOOM heard around the world!
Smith would turn around and sue the DOJ for indemnification.
Can indemnification by DOJ stand if it is determined Smith had no Constitutional role here first?
Or is that moot now that the case is dropped?
Smith could try to join the DOJ in the case, saying he took the appointment in good faith (!), and any legal error in his appointment is the fault of the DOJ.
Of course, once the invalidity of the appointment was raised by the defense, Smith was on notice.
Thanks.
Smith is just the miserable face of the leftist lawfare farce. Unlikely trash like Wissman, Normmy, Monaco etc. Half of that evil trash has no protection being private citizens. If there were ever private citizens who needed to be bankrupted like they did to many other people. It’s those pieces of human waste
I’d love to see Sydney Powell do it.
Payable by the US taxpayer. Again.
I’d rather make PDJT & all of the victims of LawFare whole than support illegal alien squatters.
The CONgress can grab all of the doj’s “corporate settlements” to create a fund to pay for it too. Or it can be done by doj rule changes.
PDJT should do what demoncraps do.
Sue the gubmint & “settle” for what you couldn’t otherwise get.
He can! There is a provision in the law to recoup legal fees for an unjust prosecution!
The Hyde Amendment allows a defendant to recover legal fees for frivolous and wrongful prosecution by the DOJ!
It’s not easy but it’s been done many times!
$50 million spent by Govt to pursue prosecution is an inviting pool that needs to be explored. If they can afford to spend that much on bogus charges, then it should be investigated as to being reimbursement for Trump’s legal expenses repaid.
These rich all have attorneys on retainer the cost is part of the business they’re in. Now for we the people if folks dont go to jail in the next 2 years well all know everything is a smoke show for our entertainment. Hate being a downer but I’m a realist. He should have allowed the JFK files to be shown. Almond with a bunch of other stuff we never saw.
How does President Trump get his attorney fees back? This is what upsets me the most.
Sue the gubmint & settle. It’s what demoncraps do all of the time.
And what has happened to Rudy Giuliani and all the other Atlanta defendants.
Rudy deserves to countersue the pants off those 2 biotches that took his property. And then they should be prosecuted for fraud, tried immediately in a military court, and whisked off to Gitmo or worse for the rest of their miserable lives.
How do the J6ers get their attorney fees back. I spent tens of thousands of dollars out of our retirement savings, for a single misdemeanor count for being in a public place that had magically become “restricted”. My husband and I committed no act of violence or vandalism. We were hit, shoved, gassed and finally, 11 months before the 2024 election we were forced to turn ourselves in and arrested. I am still called a “rioter” and accused of “insurrection” in the media. Just last week the Daily Mail said I was a “rioter” who was “begging for a pardon”. I don’t want a pardon; I was to be fully exonerated:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14050439/trump-january-6-capital-riot-pardon-election.html
It won’t stop what is coming, Jacko.
Preserve your documents.
Should it be concluded you destroyed documents, that will be added to your list of charges.
One more thing, protocol for all government issued phones to employees should preclude being able to scrub them via erroneous sign in attempts.
New protocol should be you X number of attempts. Contact IT specialists at this point if unsuccessful.
Continuing to attempt an erroneous sign in will be construed as an attempt to tamper with government records and employee can face prosecution.
Good idea. However, if they take a sledge hammer to the device, there’s not much one can do.
I think any reasonable prosecutor would determine that was destruction of evidence. 😉
They will find ways around it, no doubt, but misplacing or manipulating evidence can still contribute to evidence presented.
Well, “we” are still waiting on the ‘legal action’ on Shrillary.
Imo, Too late they have already sent a shredder truck to sit in front of the DOJ. We all saw the photos.
And when I saw it posted, I commented that all cases with “lost” shredded evidence should be dropped, charges reversed, restitution to those prosecuted and records expunged.
The Dept. of inJustice can’t play fast and loose with evidence and not pay the price. It’s time to make the Dept. of InJustice. the DOJ again.
Then please do it on the Presidential or the Bondi Threads.
You are waay OT here.
No I’m not, the JUSTICE DEPARTMENT NEEDS TO BE CLEANED OUT!
AND SHE WON’T DO IT!
Don’t scream at me dingdong. I said please.
Holy broken record.
That’s really funny. You do have your endearing moments lol..
But I have to second the request JeffC. Please stop screaming about Bondi.
We hear, and have heard you.
“dingdong”…. hahahahaha….
Did you not see Sundance’s warning and reminder of the rules here: https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/11/24/please-do-not-do-this/
Specifically, “do not post something unrelated to the specific matter and content of the thread subject.”
I’m not off topic!
THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT NEEDS TO BE CLEANED OUT!
AND SHE WON’T DO IT!
Oh, dear. The louder you yell the less we pay attention.
And the more comments like yours make me wish we had a downvote button.
Kind of looks right on topic and over the target to me!
Me too.
Gaetz is mentioned and that the DOJ insiders were nervous about him. Nervous about what he might do as AG.
But we can’t bring the current AG pick into it because that would be off topic?
Narrow “sheep chute” parameters make a comment section worthless.
Gatez for specail council
The excuse of it being “against DOJ policy” is about as lame as it gets 😎
Policy is not law. Policy can be changed at any time for any reason.
Next to be dismissed…..how about the entire upper mgt at DOJ on Jan 20?
According to a Federal Court, Smith has no standing, just like the rest of us. Return his motion to sender. They should just let his previous mountain of useless paper expire, and bill him for the wasted court time.
I look forward to Trump releasing the Smith team’s expense accounts.
Note that the motion seeks dismissal without prejudice , which Chutkan will likely grant as requested. The prosecution could be re-filed after Trump leaves office – – unless a statute of limitation applies.
A final nasty dig from Smith: “You’re off the hook…..for now.”
It won’t. The same immunity problems will pertain.
And the same illegal prosecutorial practices apply. He was not approved to be a “special investigator/prosecutor.”
Trump’s counsel hasn’t issued a statement or motion, and they may contest Smith’s motion. I would. The guy has no standing.
President Trump’s DOJ can refile the dismissal with PREJUDICE in six weeks!
Agree. I have such bad vibes about her.
Biden weaponized the swamp creatures at the DOJ and FBI
to go after Trump and associates. This was Election Interference.
The Biden administration created the government criminality,
decay and corruption at the DOJ and FBI.
Actually Obama did .
ALL of them are going down. It’s gonna be EPIC!!!
SO what will it take to free EVERY SINGLE j6 prisoner no matter the charge for whatever misdemeanor or minor felony they did they have served enough time!
Presidential pardons on 1/20/25? Trump may be too busy signing J6 pardons and orders firing Deep State bureaucrats to attend the inaugural balls.
BLANKET PARDONS! No case by case BULLSHIT!
I read something in the last few says about it being done on a case-by-case basis — no blanket pardon. But don’t quote me on that.
Disagree. Case by case can get to the same end and still quell much of the griping to come.
I would expect staff members are having the pardons approved and available for signature going on now, along with multiple EO’s that that Trump has already determined he wants to have on Jan 20. Starts work on day 1 is what they anticipate.
Say Jack! You going to refund the American people for wasting their money? You going to publicly apologize to the American people for interfering with the elections? You going to apologize to President Trump for your malicious targeting? Is President Trump going to be compensated for the money he wasted and for the time he cannot get back?
Jacky!!! You going turn yourself in?
Oh, and cancel the order for the industrial sized shredder…
Mueller should be forced to refund the taxpayers.
Out of his pocket/personal bank account.
The slimy CONgress that authorized his witch-hunt should pay restitution from their own funds.
All the hoaxes since 2016 must have cost the US tax payers well in excess of $100 million.
Fraud committed on the US tax payers and citizens.
Class action anyone?
Note: “without prejudice” means this prosecution can be revisited at some time in the future. Trump’s lawyers will no doubt ask for a dismissal “with prejudice” so the charges in this case cannot be revisited.
As always, Smith is a slimy POS.
It’s the Constitution that prohibits the prosecution of the President of the United States! Saying it’s DOJ policy is disingenuous because the DOJ policy is based on what the Constitution requires!
Smith is trying to imply that the DOJ is being magnanimous! LOL
“It’s the Constitution that prohibits the prosecution of the President of the United States!”
Not sure where it specifically says this.
Thanks.
President Trump has endured what would have destroyed 99.9% of us mere mortals. May God continue to protect him in the perilous days ahead.
Yes, and President Trump beat Jack Smith like a red-headed stepchild!
I want vengeance……
Retribution
Accountability.
It’s really nothing new. The system from the start has always been the best system money can buy. I read in book full of wisdom that there is nothing new under the sun 😉
The Hyde Amendment allows federal courts to award attorneys’ fees and court costs to criminal defendants when the prosecution’s position was “vexatious, frivolous, or in bad faith”.
The Hyde Amendment is a federal statute that was passed in 1997 and is named after its sponsor, Representative Henry Hyde.
When a court awards attorneys’ fees and court costs under the Hyde Amendment, the compensation comes from the budget of the federal agency involved, usually the United States Attorney’s Office.
So in other words, taxpayers will pay . These dirtbags should not be indemnified.
That motion would have to be filed in Chutkan’s court in the same case. She was part of it the plan so she would never grant that motion. She needs to be impeached immediately.
So Matt Gaetz was a bit of Pres. Trump’s OWN counter-psyop.
It’s very hard to convince my young adult children that these cases weren’t really about crimes committed.
They have a hard time understanding lawfare, because they are young, and idealistic.
Retired Magistrate here: Unfortunately, with prosecutor and judge shopping anyone can bring criminal charges against anyone. I understand that a person is innocent until proven guilty; however, with Lawfare an individual is guilty until proven otherwise.
This is the state of our judicial system at this time.
Thank you judge for being honest about our broken system. I believe things will not be fixed until Jesus returns I hope Im wrong God Bless.
Good, but everyone involved in this vile, life-destroyed evil and epic political lawfare atrocity, should be prosecuted. EVERYONE.
Why would anyone want to save that face?
Sue the gubmint & settle for what makes you whole Mr. President.
Literally planned this way from Day 1, regardless of election outcome. This was pure election meddling.
This sorry and shady character has always looked like something right out of the horrible days of the Inquisition or the Tower – someone who thoroughly enjoyed turning the rack, or worse.
If Camel La had successfully rigged the 2024 election would the case have been dropped? Just wondering?
Dismissal without prejudice so that they can just do it all over again in February 2029.
This is not a clear win.
Hopefully Trump’s legal team can challenge the entire lawfare campaign and get some prosecutions in so doing.
I would like to see Special Counsels for:
Could be more, but that’s a start.
Great list! Plus human trafficking / Epstein, Cartel human trafficking – but of course none of these will happen with Bondi beach as AG.
Now reimburse citizen Trump for all his legal expenses, every last penny.
I don’t think The Hague is gonna work any more either.
Smith should be seeking refuge where there is no extradition treaty.
Pretty much all Trump’s picks are dirty in some ways. America is a corrupted republic so this is to be expected. DOGE is the only way they will make any progress and let’s hope that the ‘what was made by EO can be unmade by EO’ approach has merit and can be executed.
But then most of the moneys liberated will go to building out huge AI-generating power farms, also the grid for EV’s and a fully digitized Brave New World.
I love the populist patriot movement in the US, but I fear ‘we the people’ are ‘being fooled again’..
if Musk is against carbon, the I am against Musk. We need 4x the carbon we have now! This planet and all life on it is carbob-based.
This case needs to be dismissed with prejudice! This smith clown and this whole case needs to go away permanently. He is nothing but a stain on the legal system and I would file a case to disbar him.
Good.
Does this mean when Pedo Joe is no longer a sitting president he can be prosecuted for his crimes?
Note the dismissal request is without prejudice (to re-file) down the road… On a side note, the first time I saw his face, I thought “the devil.” I’ve never had that reaction to anyone else’s face in my life.
Exactly Sundance. The crooked and complicit DOJ’s aims were never for conviction, only a long running, royal sliming. However, suffering from TDS, their delusional belief in their own handiwork, led them to think this would deliver the election, after which they would quietly remove this under Kamala’s regime and the MSM’s protection.
Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.

All warfare is based on deception. Hey Jack Smith , what’s that behind you?

😏
Sorry but my ‘hope’ bar hasn’t went up since Gaetz dropped out or rather was shoved. Still thinking Bondi will be a dud.
Well her lies left stacks of dead bodies across this nation like cordwood, so do you want to give her and JackPutinSchiff a pass on felony murder?
People on this board are gaslighting about potential lawsuits.? These traitors murdered our countrymen for greed and power and they still want to kill us all by starting WW3 because they lost.
Where you gonna spend that fake money you win in a lawsuit when the world is demolished?
Sorry, HD but I don’t understand.
The real reason Smith dropped the case: it didn’t derail the Trump train before his reelection which was its raison d’etre to begin with. None of the Lawfare (read “election interference”) cases brought against Trump did, thank God, Judge Cannon, and the American people.
Instead of soft-talk about “changing the culture” Pam Bondo better prosecute this fraud (and many, many others).
And speaking of Gaetz,where’s the investigation into the “leak”? Why hasn’t he and/or his lawyers pursued criminal charges?
Malicious prosecution is a real thing. Law enforcement who arrest and prosecutors who prosecute individuals when there is no probable cause for doing so. Last time I checked, it is not clear if malicious prosecution is actionable under 42 USC Sec. 1983 for the violation of civil rights even though such a prosecution would be a clear violation of due process. And I’m pretty sure that the jurisdiction for bringing such a cause of action is the prosecuting jurisdiction. If President-elect Trump decides to file such a cause of action in the DC District Court, you can be sure that each and every one of those judges would be hostile to his claim to the point of finding probable cause to prosecute. And without a US Supreme Court decision stating the Special Prosecutor Smith had to be confirmed by the Senate, even the US Supreme Court would be unlikely to permit such a claim to go forward.
That being said, since Smith has represented to each court that he has authority under the Attorney General/DOJ, every bit of his work product is subject to the AG/DOJ of the incoming Trump Administration, all of which can be shared with President-elect Trump’s co-defendant’s, particularly in Atlanta for purposes of suing Fani Willis et al for malicious prosecution under Georgia state law, and the incoming President can waive any federal prosecutorial immunity Smith and company may have to permit them to be prosecuted under state law. And President Biden cannot pardon Smith and company from anything other than federal law exposure, so if they assisted in the brining of a politically motivated state prosecution, they would appear to be criminally liable as well. And waiving executive privilege now cuts two ways, so Biden White House counsel may be exposed as well.
President-elect Trump can let his numerous co-defendants in Atlanta do the heavy lifting, then go after Bragg and company in New York on the same basis, but may even be able to drag Bragg down to Georgia on a conspiracy charge because the number 3 in the Biden DOJ resigned and took a job with Bragg the very same day that Fani’s side piece was at the White House talking about the Atlanta prosecutions. Lots of attorney’s fees for the bastards and, again, Biden can’t do a thing about the state law causes of action.
Thank You!
Hey Jack….Justice is coming
NO MERCY!
I notice they still left their options open – dismissed without prejudice.
Trump’s law team will challenge that….
Game. Set. Match.
Fire everyone that raided his house
Wonder why Lester Holt asked a question that brought up the Statute of Limitations in Laura Jarrett’s response. DOJvdidnt mind ignoring the SOL in regard to bringing charges against Trump in the Stormy Daniels case?
Where does President Trump go to get his money back?
Zelensky 🤷♂️ The U.S. hasn’t any.
I would say the DNC but they are 20m in the hole. Spent it all.
When is Smith going to be prosecuted for masquerading as a “special prosecutor”?
