The establishment will not yield to Trump: Jack Smith has another strategy in reserve. On November 8th, Jack Smith submitted a motion in The United States District Court for the District of Columbia to annul the briefing timeline in the Trump January 6th case in Washington, D.C.
At first glance, it may appear that Jack Smith has exited the stage, with mainstream media suggesting that the Special Counsel is abandoning the case entirely. However, this motion conveys a very different message.
In the second sentence of the motion, it states, “The Government respectfully requests that the court vacate the remaining deadlines in the pretrial schedule to allow the Government time to evaluate this extraordinary situation and decide on the suitable path ahead in accordance with Department of Justice Policy. By December 2, 2024, the Government will present a status report or otherwise notify the Court of the outcome of its discussions.
Given that Donald Trump has not yet taken the oath of office, I suspect Jack Smith will contest the DOJ’s established principle that sitting presidents are immune from indictment, prosecution, or imprisonment in a criminal matter, arguing that Trump does not yet hold the position of U.S. President. This will create a narrow opportunity, from Dec. 2nd to Jan. 6th, for Smith to make his final move.
While Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Maryland) has recently backpedaled from the statement he made regarding not certifying President-Elect Trump on January 6th, his words clearly indicate a brewing rebellion, but this time, it’s a genuine uprising.
Check out this video of @RepRaskin as he openly states that they will not certify the election, preventing Donald Trump from assuming the presidency.
Is there a deliberate plan underway to undermine the orderly transition of authority?
It definitely appears to be the case. However, while the U.S. Constitution has a robust framework designed to maintain order and prevent chaos, any effort to obstruct this process could lead to significant turmoil in the markets. Source: ZeroHedge
