**Persecution**
Special Counsel Jack Smith has filed a revised indictment against former President Donald Trump in relation to the January 6th, 2021, events, attempting to address recent Supreme Court rulings on presidential immunity.
This latest move raises serious questions about political motivations within the Biden administration and the Department of Justice.
Smith's updated indictment comes after the Supreme Court determined that presidents enjoy broad protections for actions taken while in office.
However, the revised indictment still includes charges such as conspiracy to defraud the United States and obstruction of an official proceeding, even after the Court made it clear that many of Trump's actions are protected under the presumption of immunity.
In striking contrast to previous accusations, Smith omitted claims that Trump pressured the Justice Department to overturn the 2020 election results.
This critical change signals that the special counsel may be facing significant challenges in proving his case against Trump, especially in light of the Supreme Court's guidelines.
Additionally, the timing of these revisions is suspicious, falling within a period when early voting for the 2024 election is set to commence in several states.
Mike Davis, a prominent conservative legal analyst, argues that the goal of the revised indictment seems designed to create courtroom drama that could affect Trump’s candidacy.
This raises eyebrows given the DOJ's own guidelines, which typically prohibit actions that could interfere with upcoming elections.
Furthermore, the new indictment claims that Trump had no official responsibilities related to the certification of electoral results, portraying his interest as merely personal, rather than a legitimate concern for election integrity.
As the case now moves to Judge Tanya Chutkan, many are asking whether Smith’s strategy will hold under scrutiny.
Legal experts suggest that the complexities introduced by the Supreme Court’s ruling may also provide grounds for extended delays.
Ultimately, the new indictment seems less about justice and more a continuation of the Biden administration’s ongoing campaign against Trump, potentially fueling further division within the electorate as the 2024 presidential race heats up.
