U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan just gave President-elect Donald Trump a whole lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving, dismissing the federal election charges against him after special counsel Jack Smith filed a motion to drop the case. It’s almost as if this wasn’t a serious case the entire time and was only a ploy to either toss him in prison and remove him from the 2024 playing field or to turn the American people against him.
I’d say the results of the election clearly indicate otherwise.
The Daily Wire reported that Chutkan issued an order for the case to be dismissed without prejudice, going on to explain that “when a prosecutor moves to dismiss an indictment without prejudice, ‘there is a strong presumption in favor’ of that course.”
“Dismissal without prejudice is also consistent with the Government’s understanding that the immunity afforded to a sitting President is temporary, expiring when they leave office,” she continued.
Smith had charged Trump with four felonies related to the 2020 election, specifically on Trump’s actions after the election and before Congress certified the results on January 7, 2021. In August last year, Trump was indicted on charges of conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights. Trump celebrated the case being brought to close, saying on social media that Democrats wasted taxpayer money to fund their attacks on Trump.
“These cases, like all of the other cases I have been forced to go through, are empty and lawless, and should never have been brought,” he remarked. “Over $100 Million Dollars of Taxpayer Dollars has been wasted in the Democrat Party’s fight against their Political Opponent, ME.”
“Nothing like this has ever happened in our Country before,” the president-elect said, later adding: “It was a political hijacking, and a low point in the History of our Country that such a thing could have happened, and yet, I persevered, against all odds, and WON. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
This just proves what all of us thought about the charges brought against the president-elect from the very beginning. It was a strategy to give President Joe Biden the upper hand in the race. Democrats were well aware of how deeply unpopular Biden is with the American people and has been for years now. They were also well aware of how bad his cognitive health was as well.
Once again, Democrats were trying to prevent the will of the people from going forth, but thankfully, unlike the last cycle, their efforts failed.
