New Superseding Indictment Filed
Special counsel Jack Smith has filed a superseding indictment against former President Donald Trump in the federal election interference case[1][2]. This new indictment was presented to a new grand jury that had not previously heard evidence in the case[3].
Reasons for the New Indictment
The superseding indictment is an attempt by prosecutors to recalibrate the case against Trump in light of the Supreme Court's recent ruling on presidential immunity[3]. The new charging document removes some specific allegations against Trump but retains the same four criminal charges, including conspiracy to defraud the United States[3].
Changes in the New Indictment
The new indictment:
- Emphasizes the political and personal nature of many of Trump's actions during the post-election period and on January 6, 2021[3]
- Eliminates a list of top government officials who had informed Trump that his claims about election fraud were false[3]
- Omits details about Trump's alleged attempts to use the Justice Department to overturn the election results[3]
- Removes all references to former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark[3]
Implications
This new indictment suggests that Smith believes the Supreme Court's immunity decision does not pose a major impediment to convicting the former president[3]. The charges remain the same, indicating that the core of the case against Trump has not changed.
Timing and Election Interference Claims
In conclusion, the timing of legal actions in relation to the election on November 5th can only be seen as election interference and a continuation of the corrupt Biden/Harris administration's lawfare against President Donald J. Trump. The Supreme Court's ruling on presidential immunity was 100% clear and there is no amount of legalese that soulless Jack Smith can conjure that is going to change the protections former President Donald J. Trump enjoys.
Mark Zuckerberg blew the whistle on the stolen election in 2020 so that genie can't be put back in the bottle. It's time to stop calling the truth "conspiracy theories" and start arresting the real criminals in this country. Why don't we start with arresting Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Smith?
