WASHINGTON – In an unexpected move, the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Special Counsel Jack Smith have decided to end their cases against President-elect Donald Trump. According to ABC News, the DOJ cited its longstanding policy that sitting presidents cannot be prosecuted, a guideline that has now led to the cessation of legal proceedings against the former president.

While many had anticipated that the DOJ and Smith would continue their work up until Trump’s official departure from office, the decision to close these cases before he even takes office has raised eyebrows.
“What’s interesting here is that the DOJ is moving to end these cases even before Trump assumes office, citing the longstanding DOJ policy that sitting presidents can’t be prosecuted,” a senior official said. “There was some thought that maybe Special Counsel Jack Smith would sprint through the finish line, working up until the last day, forcing Trump to fire him or waiting for a new Attorney General to be appointed, but that does not appear to be the thinking inside the department.”
Legal analysts had speculated that Smith’s team might push to conclude investigations before Trump’s term ended, potentially leaving his successor to decide the next steps. However, the department has now determined that these cases cannot proceed.
The decision has raised questions about the future of Trump’s legal challenges, as several other investigations into his actions during his presidency remain ongoing.
While Trump has repeatedly maintained his innocence, the abrupt closure of the DOJ’s cases marks a major shift in the legal landscape surrounding the former president.
And now the thug Jack Smith should be investigated and prosecuted by the Justice Department for destroying taxpayer funds.
Go after the fat racist pigs Fani and Leticia
which shows this was SOLELY political and wasted millions on this effort.
Two options, either the funding was only there to stop him from winning or they want to keep their job when Trump takes office.
Now that you have gotten butt bitten by federal judges and your cover is out of office shortly guess your running for the hills. Just hope Donald goes after all those that tried to bring him down

Letticia J probably got in his face and told him to butt out — Trump prosecution over nothing was her territory. She didn’t want anyone defeating her in the race of idiots to take Trump out. Letticia does win in the democratic battle of the idiots. She’s a Ny monster, inflated with her power (as well as an excess of food…)
Jack Smith is the criminal who wasted tax payer dollars . He had no case to begin with and fabricated a 170page brief. He is part of the Democrats Justice Department who wanted to take out Trump in 5 states He needs to be prosecuted. His shenanigans and the others, Leticia James, Fani is what changed the tide and made Democrats vote for Republicans and Trump won the election. When this wasn’t working, they plotted to kill him. He had the most inept Federal guards at his rallies and speeches. Shame on you!
As I said too bad the man is above the law. Stop trying to know that everyone is equal. Thats life and move on.
