Jack Smith’s Long Shot Evidence Against Trump

With less than six weeks until the presidential election, Special Counsel Jack Smith filed unseen evidence in his superseding indictment against former President Donald Trump. A federal court has already declared that Smith was unconstitutionally appointed by the Biden-Harris Department of Justice. And the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in July that presidents are entitled to immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts performed while in office.
Now, Jack Smith is trying to work around the July Supreme Court ruling. What is most disturbing is we are only 39 days from the election. Trump’s defense team has 14 days to respond to this filing. Then the prosecution could take up to seven days to respond, leading us right up to October 17. So even if the judge ruled immediately, we’d be about 19 days before the election.
Why does Jack Smith get this opportunity to potentially expose evidence before court? He is starting over, not to go to court before the election, but in hopes that the judge will allow the release of a redacted version of the evidence before the election. And the big question is, how much of this nearly 200-page filing will the judge release before the election?
