Donald Trump is going to regret what he just tried to do to Jack Smith
Even as DOJ Special Counsel Jack Smith continues to close in on Donald Trump from all sides, Trump is still attempting to use organized crime tactics to fight back. The trouble for Trump: it’s way too late for that to work, and he’s way too far gone to understand how it works anyway.
For instance, earlier today Trump made a social media post that began like this: “COULD SOMEBODY PLEASE EXPLAIN TO THE DERRANGED, TRUMP HATING JACK SMITH, HIS FAMILY, AND HIS FRIENDS, THAT AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, I COME UNDER THE PRESIDENTIAL RECORDS ACT…”
Trump is obviously attempting to incite his supporters to seek out and harass Jack Smith’s family members. But that’s the thing: it’s too obvious. It’s ham fisted. It’s numbskulled. It won’t actually get Trump anywhere. And it could ultimately end up leading to Trump getting hit with additional criminal charges for incitement.
If nothing else it’ll piss Jack Smith off. Would you want this guy pissed off at you? Smith is already 100% focused on using every aspect of the legal system to take Donald Trump down for his crimes. At this rate Trump is going to end up facing 110% of Jack Smith’s wrath.
