Reindicted and it feels so good!

Jack Smith is not fucking around!

[quote] A federal grand jury returned a superseding indictment that charges the former president with the same four counts he faced in the original indictment returned last August: 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.

[quote]The superseding indictment was returned following the Supreme Court's decision on presidential immunity last month, which barred the government from using certain "official acts" taken by Trump as part of his role as president in the prosecution.

Can someone explain this to a fifth grader? What exactly does it mean? And will it affect the election?

by Anonymousreply 1August 27, 2024 9:48 PM

The special counsel went back into the original indictment and removed any of the actions as evidence that could be construed as an official act, and still found plenty leftover to indict on, R1. So he has resubmitted a revised indictment, so to speak.

Such wonderful, encouraging news! Criminals deserve prosecution.

Great move on Smith’s part.

Fingers crossed for the rocket docket.

by Anonymousreply 7August 27, 2024 10:35 PM

And this new indictment will go straight down the shitter, just like the others.

And if Trump wins, well, Jack Smith could have saved himself the trouble. And that's if Smith is still a free man after Trump is reelected.

[quote] “The superseding indictment, which was presented to a new grand jury that had not previously heard evidence in this case, reflects the Government’s efforts to respect and implement the Supreme Court’s holdings and remand instructions,” the special counsel said in a filing.

From the article.

Jack Smith hates Trump as much as we do but he can do something about it.

R8? This is the big boys room. Jack Smith is a big boy. Big boys fight for their country until the bitter end.

So, will this new set of charges end up on Judge Cannon's hands again or could it possibly be another judge? We know she'll just delay it until he dies.

by Anonymousreply 12August 27, 2024 11:50 PM

R12, this is not the Cannon case. This is the election interference case.

Yes r13 this absolutely needed to be done. The records case I think people can agree to disagree on, but January 6 should not go without charges.

Sorry, not January 6, the tampering and pressure leading up to it.

Nobody disagrees on the documents case, R16. It’s a slam dunk. WTF are you talking about?

No, it's just me, EL @ R25. That guy @ R26 thinks he's figured something out about me because I often start my posts by addressing the poster, i.e., R14?

So now I'm going to stop doing it just to fuck with him.

Retired people have to have some fun too, ya know.

Almost completely recovered from the covid now, thanks EL @ R30 -- but I had it for a month!! After seven vaccines! Those NYC covid germs must be pretty potent. Almost makes me happy to be back in Deplorable Haven, doing my bit volunteering for Kamala here in my ruby-red county. Cheers!

by Anonymousreply 31August 28, 2024 1:12 AM

Do you think you got it NYC?

That’s great that you are volunteering!!

by Anonymousreply 32August 28, 2024 1:16 AM

Yeah, EL @ R32 -- I watched my elderly aunt for a week in rural PA, and then I drove to the Jersey shore to hang out with my bff who has a condo there. We went into the city on the SeaStreak (I love that ride!) and spent Friday in Manhattan. Saturday I hung out with some of her buddies, and Sunday, I got on the road and drove down the BW Parkway (what a nightmare!) and headed to NC, where I stopped for the night. By then I already had a sore throat, and it was all downhill from there. Oh well. Now I can say I had covid, for what it's worth.

And I started the thread about who's doing what for Kamala. I addressed and mailed 50 postcards today! Rah, rah!

I'm sure it's been answered before, but... will this be tried be the same judge as the previous indictment? Or will they have to draw a new one?

R40 - Read R13 & R35.

by Anonymousreply 41August 28, 2024 1:22 PM

I know it's a Chutkin case, I was just asking if she's still attached to this or if they have to repeat the judge picking process. Seems like something that Trump would bitch about.

R36, delay, delay, delay is not the same thing as getting away with it. Also, “flooding the zone with shit” is not the same thing as being innocent of committing a crime.

Will one of our more informed DL political strategists break this one down in terms of what the ultimate result of this will be.

1. Will this impact his ability to run? 2. Will this result in prison? 3. Will this matter in the end?

by Anonymousreply 45August 28, 2024 3:12 PM

No

Don’t know

Everything matters in the end we just never really know exactly how

by Anonymousreply 46August 28, 2024 3:40 PM

His ability to run? I dunno, put a hot dog on a string and tie it to a pick up truck. That might tell you if he can run. I’m guessing now. He can’t hold a glass with one hand either due to his tiny vulgar, accordion playing hands.

To answer your other questions: TRUMP IS FUCKED.

The fact is, there are far more American voters who want to see Trump go to jail than return to the WH.

The D.C. case is ON.

Once the appellate in the 11th circuit rules, the Florida documents case will be back ON, hopefully with the removal of dipshit, embarrassment to the judiciary, Aileen Cannon (we hardly knew you & we still never liked you). This will be the THIRD time the 11th circuit has has to reverse her decisions - three strikes, you’re out!

Judge Marchan is going to sentence Trump to a jail term which he can probably start serving on the 6th of November. I would expect the Harris DOJ to give not one shit about a former President actually serving a prison sentence behind bars. Maybe before long, Trump will Epstein himself.

Georgia is chugging along, AZ is under way, MI may still bring charges - and he still has to settle up on his civil suits with Letitia James and E. Jean Carroll in NY. Not much for Trump to look forward to.

And the best part is, when Trump loses on the 5th of November, for the FOURTH election in a row if you include the midterms of 2018 & 2022, the GOP will be done with him. The GOP will also be an incinerated husk of a former party of absolutely no use to anyone (George Conway says the brand is beyond repair, #ETTD). But after he loses, no one - the GOP, MAGA, Putin, Thiel et al - none of them will have any use for him at all. No one will bail him out, SCOTUS will stop taking his appeals much less invent new legal theories that only apply to him, etc. Even his MAGA donors will be through with him.

I hope it’s a long and agonising end.

*I’m guessing no.
