WASHINGTON (AP) — Special counsel Jack Smith moved to abandon two criminal cases against Donald Trump on Monday, acknowledging that Trump’s return to the White House will preclude attempts to federally prosecute him for retaining classified documents or trying to overturn his 2020 election defeat.
The decision was inevitable, since longstanding Justice Department policy says sitting presidents cannot face criminal prosecution. Yet it was still a momentous finale to an unprecedented chapter in political and law enforcement history, as federal officials attempted to hold accountable a former president while he was simultaneously running for another term.
Trump emerges indisputably victorious, having successfully delayed the investigations through legal maneuvers and then winning reelection despite indictments that described his actions as a threat to the country’s constitutional foundations.

FROM DAVID MCDONALD PUBLISHER:
LONGSTANDING POLICY TAKES PRECEDENCE OVER TREASON AND CRIMINAL ACTIONS.
Now we know TRUMP CONTROLS THE JUSTICE DEPT EVEN BEFORE HE ENTERS OFFICE.
I HAVE TWO WORDS FOR JACK SMITH, AND THE "JUSTICE DEPT."
SEIG HEIL!!!!!
YOU PLAYED THE PART(S) OF DEDICATED PUBLIC SERVANTS THAT CARED ABOUT THE U.S. CONSTITUTION VERY WELL. WHO WOULD HAVE FIGURED IT WAS JUST AN ACT TO PROTECT TRUMP AND HIS FASCIST CRONIES.
