Summary
Senator Lindsey Graham urged special counsel Jack Smith to end his legal cases against Donald Trump after Trump’s projected 2024 presidential victory.
Graham criticized the charges as “politically motivated” and claimed the American public was tired of “lawfare.”
Smith, appointed in 2022, had charged Trump over classified documents and his role in the January 6 Capitol attack. The Supreme Court’s recent decision limiting prosecution scope bolstered Trump’s legal position.
Trump, convicted in a separate case involving business record falsification, has indicated plans to dismiss Smith upon taking office in January.
Like anything stressful but important sometimes ya just gotta find ways to deal with it. Knowing what’s happening, at least somewhat, is important.
The people who have enough privilege to ignore the news are the ones who can do the most to fix things.
You’re saying I can do the most though, is the most I can do just know what’s going on? Curious how that helps anything.
The people with the most privilege to ignore things are the ones who have safety nets to cushion them. If you aren’t in that group then you really shouldn’t be hiding from the news. If you are, then you are in a group that has money and possibly influence, and which can draw the ears of people who have written off minority groups but might still listen to you. You don’t have to break yourself over it but plugging your ears and getting shat on later isn’t going to do anything.
