President Trump said today he has received a letter informing him he is a “target” of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s January 6 investigation. This means Trump is very likely to be charged with something like “Seditious Conspiracy” or “Trying to impede an official proceeding” within the next few weeks. It is also possible, Smith will move to have Trump detained while he waits for trial, which is exactly what has happened to most of the J6 Defendants.
Talk about interfering with an Election. The Democrats know Trump cannot get a fair trial in Washington D.C. In fact, they are counting on it. They want to so tar Trump with indictments, it intimidates voters to be afraid to vote for Trump. That is their strategy. It is unbelievable we have come to this moment in American History. But here we are. The Justice Department of the incumbent President – Joe Biden – is going to indict and possibly imprison his primary political opposition during an election season. No Banana Republic has done anything more devious than this.
Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he has been told he is a target in the Jan. 6 criminal investigation by special counsel Jack Smith.
Trump is the leading contender for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. Smith already has criminally charged Trump with about three dozen counts related to retaining classified documents when he left the White House.
Trump also suggested he may soon face indictment for the Jan. 6 probe, which is focused on Trump’s efforts to overturn his loss in the 2020 election to President Joe Biden. Trump posted his statement on his Truth Social account.
Two sources with direct knowledge of the probe confirmed to NBC News that Smith sent Trump a target letter in the case.
Such letters are sent by the Department of Justice to give people the chance to testify before a grand jury after the DOJ determines there is substantial evidence linking them to a crime.
“Deranged Jack Smith, the prosecutor with Joe Biden’s DOJ, sent a letter (again, it was Sunday night!) stating that I am a TARGET of the January 6th Grand Jury investigation, and giving me a very short 4 days to report to the Grand Jury, which almost always means an Arrest and Indictment,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social site.
Trump wrote that he was given what he called the “horrifying news” on Sunday evening by his lawyers. . . .
