Summary

Special Counsel Jack Smith is in discussions with the Justice Department on how to conclude federal cases against President-elect Donald Trump, following DOJ policy that prohibits prosecuting a sitting president.

Trump, previously indicted for election interference and the unlawful retention of classified documents, has pleaded not guilty in both cases.

These prosecutions have been complicated by a recent Supreme Court ruling that grants presidents partial immunity from prosecution.

Additionally, Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the classified documents case, questioning the constitutionality of Smith’s appointment.

Perhaps not "take him out", but I do hope Biden finally grows a pair and goes scorched earth on Trump by generally using the supreme court ruling to make life as difficult as possible for him, for example releasing all the Epstein files. I'm so sick of the Democrats continuing to think they can use reason and the moral highground while fighting a opponent who punches below the belt. Get down and fight dirty for once!

Biden is not manly enough to do that

And you believe that Trump would not retaliate while in office, under the same official immunity?

You should put it all on the line before you ask the same of others.

He's going to retaliate anyway! He said as much! Motherfucker said that he was going to go after the enemy within.
