Summary

Special counsel Jack Smith dropped 44 federal charges against Donald Trump, citing DOJ policy that sitting presidents cannot be prosecuted.

The charges, including election interference and classified documents retention, could be refiled after Trump’s presidency.

Critics, including Rep. Dan Goldman and former Capitol officer Aquilino Gonell, decried the move as a miscarriage of justice, asserting it places Trump above the law.

Trump and allies celebrated the decision as a victory, with Vice President-elect JD Vance vowing to prevent similar prosecutions.

Democrats fear Trump will seek political retaliation, deepening national divisions.

    The liberals keep fascism in their back pockets just in case.

    Capitalism hasn’t been able to offer what it promises and its only natural that the left or right would emerge the victors. Sadly with poor education in america and red scare, McCarthyism both still poisoning the well then only one realistic outcome is possible and your all living it. A trump victory.

    If you want real change join a socialist / leftist org. Read socialist theory and teach others of the scientific approach to society and class differences.
