Donald Trump goes ape shit over Jack Smith warrant
Donald Trump appears to be less than 48 hours away from being criminally indicted for racketeering in Fulton County Georgia, so you’d think that’s where his focus would be. Instead Trump is busy blowing his lid over the fact that federal prosecutor Jack Smith previously carried out a search warrant of Trump’s Twitter account.
It’s not clear why Trump is suddenly so agitated over this news, given that it broke a week ago and that the warrant was executed several months ago. Perhaps Trump has been racking his brain trying to figure out what evidence of criminality Jack Smith was seeking within Trump’s Twitter account, and Trump finally put it together tonight, and is horrified by it.
In any case, Trump is screaming his head of on social media: “How dare lowlife prosecutor, Deranged Jack Smith, break into my former Twitter account without informing me and, indeed, trying to completely hide this atrocity from me.” Someone should probably explain to Trump what a search warrant is, how it’s signed off on by a judge, and how it means there was probable cause of a crime to begin with.
But instead of asking a lawyer how the law works, Trump just keeps screaming stupid things: “What could he possibly find out that is not already known.” Okay, then why is Trump so worried about it? “Just like the early morning raid of Mar-a-Lago!” Yeah, that’s not a what an early morning raid is. “Why isn’t the DOJ raiding Crooked Joe Biden.” Because he’s never committed a crime in his life.
At this point Donald Trump is just a sad, pathetic, helpless broken record. He knows his life is over. He knows he’s going to spend the rest of it rotting in prison. And all he can do is yell stupid things until they haul him away.
