Poor Jack Smith....he's so misunderstood.WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump and his campaign have accused special counsel Jack Smith of violating long-standing Justice Department norms by including new revelations about his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss in a filing released Wednesday.
In reality, a federal judge, not Smith, made the decision to release the filing to the public.
Trump on Thursday called it a "weaponization of government" to release the filing just a month before Election Day, alleging that Smith and federal law enforcement officials were improperly influencing a presidential election.
It's true that the Justice Department typically abides by an informal 60-day “quiet period” before an election — meaning it avoids taking discretionary action that could be seen as influencing voters. The new disclosures from the special counsel's office, however, were made in an ongoing criminal case at the order of a federal judge, Tanya Chutkan, who ultimately made the decision to release the redacted filing Wednesday.
Smith wasn’t aware that Chutkan was going to make the decision to release the document nor when, two sources familiar with the matter who were not authorized to speak publicly said.
Others have compared the “October surprise” filing to the then-FBI director James Comey’s pronouncements about Hillary Clinton’s emails in October 2016, to Trump’s benefit. But the scenarios are starkly different. In 2016, the director of the FBI made disparaging comments about a presidential candidate who, its investigation found, didn't commit conduct that warranted criminal charges. In 2024, a special counsel who secured three separate indictments from different federal grand juries against a former president disclosed information in an ongoing criminal case at the order of a federal judge.
Chutkan has repeatedly made it clear in court hearings that Trump’s presidential run and campaign schedule — despite the Trump team’s protests — will have no impact on the criminal case before her. She made that point explicitly in an order last month, writing that Trump’s “concern with the political consequences of these proceedings does not bear on the pretrial schedule.”
Chutkan, who regained control of the case in August after the Supreme Court ruled that Trump has immunity for some official acts relevant to the case, had ordered Smith's and Trump's teams to submit their arguments about what Trump conduct in the case was presidential and what was private.
Smith's team elected to clear the plate, getting a brand-new grand jury to return a fresh indictment without hearing testimony about Trump's official acts, meaning mostly testimony about his attempts to weaponize the Justice Department for his personal benefit. The new indictment, handed up in late August, was returned just outside the window of the so-called 60-day rule, a guideline based on "long-standing Justice Department policies and tradition" that recommends federal prosecutors take no action against a candidate in the period immediately before an election.
Even with the new indictment, there were still a lot of details to work out to determine the bounds of the case: what evidence is in, what evidence is out. The Supreme Court’s opinion left it up to Chutkan to make many of the fact-specific immunity determinations, and written arguments were always going to be part of the process.
Chutkan set a deadline of Sept. 26 for Smith to file his opening brief on immunity, and because the brief and its appendix included "sensitive material," such as grand jury and witness information, Smith had to file his brief under seal, which his office did last week.

Lots of Republicans going to prison if you enforce that one ass face
Irony from a mental case who bloviates the bullshit and lies he's fed by MSNBC.
You sound dumber than your typical leftist. In fact, you're too cowardly to discuss/debate what your values and beliefs are. Apparently, you enjoy being lied to, gaslighted and gullibly swill leftist Koolaid.
Chutkan is a partisan jurist who should never have been in a court.Trump is correct. The DOJ 60 day rule does exist but was ignored in this case.
What is DOJ's '60-day rule' and what role might it play in a Trump trial before the 2024 election?

Because the “rule” is not established in writing, its meaning is not defined.www.nytimes.com
So, while it is not some legal requirement and therefore not legally enforceable, it has been followed by the DOJ to avoid the appearance of election interference. But, of course, with Trump, anything that could possibly damage or stop him from being elected is fair game for the Left and un-Democratics. The ends justify the means.
Conduct is not a criminal act. If it were, we'd have to arrest every Democrat in Washington DC.

....Kamala is winning......what empty headed little man.Some are starting to revolt. Notice how many Republicans are coming out for Kamala.
In Texas, they're also coming out for Colin Allred against Ted Cruz.
In interviews with ABC 13 and the Houston Chronicle on Thursday, Allred announced the formation of the Republicans for Allred coalition, which former Republican state Representative Jason Villalba and former Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger will chair.

Other members of the coalition include former Dallas mayor and Congressman Steve Bartlett, former state Representative and Chairman of the Texas House Elections Committee Todd Smith, former Congressman Alan Steelman, former Deputy Director of the National Economic Council under President George W. Bush, Marc Sumerlin, and former state Representative Bennett Ratliff.
"This is a serious effort to reach out to Republicans," Kinzinger said in a press release. "You're going to see other folks come out and say 'look, we're going to put slight differences aside because we actually believe in this country and what it stands for like Colin does and unlike Ted Cruz does."
