Trump ally Lindsey Graham sends warning to special counsel Jack Smith - eviltoast

Summary

Senator Lindsey Graham urged special counsel Jack Smith to end his legal cases against Donald Trump after Trump’s projected 2024 presidential victory.

Graham criticized the charges as “politically motivated” and claimed the American public was tired of “lawfare.”

Smith, appointed in 2022, had charged Trump over classified documents and his role in the January 6 Capitol attack. The Supreme Court’s recent decision limiting prosecution scope bolstered Trump’s legal position.

Trump, convicted in a separate case involving business record falsification, has indicated plans to dismiss Smith upon taking office in January.

    Sheesh, I wish Biden would take a cue from the Supreme Court and just have a few of these people arrested, including Graham and call it a Presidential action.

    Then let the lower courts decide.

    Show them what “lawfare” really is, LOL. Lawfare, FFS, these assholes don’t have an original bone in their bodies. They get one of their thought leaders braying out something like “lawfare” and they just endlessly parrot it for EVERYTHING.
