Jack Smith Makes It Official: Donald Trump Got Away With Everything

  1. I hope I’m wrong but history may look at Biden and Garland the same way it looks at von Hindenburg and the Weimar Republic.

  3. Donald Trump could have been thrown in jail three years ago, and nobody wanted that. Nobody with any power. So, now he’s president again.

  4. Jack Smith didn’t make it official, the stupidity of a majority of American voters did. The country made its bed, no choice but to lie on it now.

  5. Dismissed without prejudice means they can bring charges at a later date, honestly a better option than putting the legality of charging a president elect to this Supreme Court. Though he may not survive to that point. . .

  6. Just wait & see what happens in the media when he pardons every single one of the jailed insurrectionists. They are going to have a field day.

  7. And more importantly you were all duped into believing that if you were civil and just waited for justice to go its course then your crushing taxes wouldn’t have been wasted. The lie is that the justice system is for everyone. It isn’t. Hide your money from the governing forces hiding the truth and critical resources from you.

  8. “Oh well technically it’s without prejudice, so in the future…”

    Shut up. He got away with **everything.**

  9. There have definitely been plenty of mistakes in this process to this point, but I tend to think Jack Smith is far from the primary blame. He’s not a dumb guy, I am inclined to think there is some rationale to this move. Something along the lines of it making it tougher for Trump to make it all go away permanently in the hope charges can be rebrought when he leaves office …. and, hopefully that will happen eventually … and,potentially even sooner than 4 years from now. But, if the cases are sitting there in limbo, it’s easier for Trump’s DOJ to make the charges go away permanently.

  11. If we prosecuted billionaires for there crimes, there wouldn’t be any.

  12. Laws aren’t for wealthy people. Only for us little peons. We see it over and over again. Law and order, pfffft

  13. Sure would have been nice to have a press conference or some kind of explanation so as to not make it look exactly like republicans would want it to if they were claiming the prosecutions were just political.

  14. The key takeaway .
    It’s not just Garland that is at fault, it’s the entire justice system, from SCOTUS to the judges that allowed Trump to endlessly appeal and delay.

    The simple fact is that, our system isn’t built to hold someone like Trump accountable.

    The key thing will be, how the system will handle Trump and his team going after prosecutors that went after him

  15. Garland did pussyfoot around too much, in order to look impartial. They wasted time, thinking that it would change the end result.

    The end result did not change. Trump and the MAGA crowd went into a rabid frenzy over the investigations, and it wouldn’t have mattered one bit if Garland had decided to go straight for the jugular at the start. Trump and his goons will spend the entire presidency hunting down anyone that’s been involved in the prosecutions against Trump.

    Dude could have launched an actual witch hunt against Trump, but Trump and the MAGA crowd sees the investigation (that took place) equally egregious.

    Lesson learned should be that you can’t handle Trump with kid gloves. He’ll cry witch hunt and political persecution no mater how partial and correct you do it.

    EDIT: To make it crystal clear. The current government were afraid of what would happen if they just went for the kill. They were afraid that by not doing everything by the book, to the smallest detail, coming off as completely impartial, it would spark a trend where every new government starts persecuting the last one.

    But, in the end, that’s exactly what happened anyway. Trump and MAGA have been crystal clear from the start that any investigation – the mere *idea of investigations* – would be seen as a weaponized DOJ being used as a partisan witch hunt.

    This adds to the long, long list of instances where democrats have been obsessed with decorum. They simply wanted to claim the moral high ground.

  16. Bolstered by 70 million idiots actively and another 70 million by apathy.

  17. We are a disgusting nation infested with a sickness the only people who get to be capable of administrating the medicine we need refuse to.

  18. If you didn’t think he was, I don’t know what to tell you. There’s different rules for the rich and us.

  19. Think you’re about to be prosecuted? Run for president! Just make sure you have all the money and privilege first 🙄

  20. No. The American electorate did that.

    Smith had literally no choice but to dismiss the case, as you can’t prosecute a sitting president.

    You fools voted for that bloated idiot, and now we all get to suffer because you wanted cheaper groceries.

    Spoiler Alert: Groceries are going to be MORE EXPENSIVE under Trump.

  21. Merrick Garland is a spineless fool who, after being denied a clearly-undeserved SCOTUS nom, went on to be a truly useless AG.

  22. Why is everyone pinning this on Jack Smith when it was actually Merrick Garland’s DOJ that didn’t take swift, decisive action, and the US Supreme Court that granted Trump broad immunity?

  23. This means Trump will commit more and worse crimes now that he knows he can get away with anything.

  24. American voters made it official, we’re a country of dumbasses. Nothing else explains electing a known criminal to be president.

  25. Merrick Garland will go down as one of the most useless people in American history.

  26. The President is a King. I’ve heard politicians, attorneys, and judges say “no one is above the law” my entire life. But it’s clear they were only speaking to “us” and not “them.”

    In a country were you can end up in jail because you can’t afford to pay your way out, a President can use their office to try and overthrow an election that would strip them of power and NOTHING HAPPENS. It’s absolutely insane.

  28. Last Action Hero was prophetic. In this world the bad guy can win.

  29. Sadly I can’t see any path back to decency, accountability, and basic morality. We have toyed with the slippery slope for years and America finally lost its footing. There is only one direction and that is down. America made its bed on Nov 5th 2024 and now we all have to sleep in it and I for one see it as a bed of nails.

  30. What the fuck was Jack Smith supposed to do? This isn’t Mueller all over again, it’s a guy trying to do his level best to get justice served, doing it on nightmare difficulty mode thanks to Merrick “Mewling Quim” Garland. Garland is the one who enabled this to happen, Biden too by extension. America’s institutions are failures now, and it is evident that no one will fix them.

  32. We have the Supreme Court to blame for this. They were the ones that prevented the J6 trial from happening before the election.

  33. Hope the price of eggs was worth it, your traitorous imbeciles.

  34. We no longer have a country, maybe we never really did and Trump just showed us.

  35. Damn, trying to pin everything on Jack Smith like there’s anything he has power over. Fuck these posts, their sources and the misinformation machine.

  36. Welcome to the new 3 tier justice system.

    The normal people that have to follow the law.

    The elites that write that law.

    The King that is above the law.

  37. Pathetic.

    I’m not a lawyer, but the stolen documents seemed to be an open and shut case. He had the documents. The FBI seized them. And then the DoJ spent 2 years building a case only to see it collapse? Two years?
    If it was me, I’d already be serving time.

  39. I have never in my life been ashamed to be an American.

    Now I am.

    We stand for nothing anymore it seems.

  40. Americans should just nullify any jury they find themselves on. Why should common people face justice if it’s so obvious it’s two tier. 

  41. We are about to witness Trump at his worst. Now he knows he can do whatever he wants, no matter how illegal it is.

  42. The takeaway is that Propaganda always works on stupid people . The dumbfucks of America have no idea what they’ve done to themselves and the rest of the world.
