Rabid zealot Jack Smiths evidence dump is not about justice hes just interested in getting Trump
Special Counsel Jack Smith just filed a massive motion attempting to argue that the Supreme Court’s immunity decision should not derail his DC election case against Donald Trump.

It is a tall order for Smith to prove that most of Trump’s conduct was “unofficial” and not subject to presidential immunity.While Smith is desperate to prove that Trump’s campaign activities were “unofficial acts,” ...
