Donald Trump calls for ex-special counsel Jack Smiths arrest in late-night Truth Social post
Story by Moupriya 50m
In one of his usual late-night Truth Social rants, Donald Trump has called for his enemies to be locked up in jail. In particular, he has asked for the arrest of Jack Smith, the former special counsel who played a key role in the probe into the presidents handling of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago home.
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel fired at least 10 agents who had worked on the case, while Trump-appointed federal judge Aileen Cannon permanently blocked a report on the investigation. The presidents Truth Social rant came following a post by X user Mila Joy.
Never forget that the Democrats arrested a U.S. President, his lawyers, his campaign manager, his accountants, his media allies and his valet over fake, made up stuff, Joy wrote. The user called for Smiths arrest, writing, Jack Smith MUST be held accountable or it will happen over and over again. Lock him up......................
Meanwhile, Cannon permanently blocked the release of Smiths report after a request from the president. The investigation documents contain the details of his alleged mishandling of classified files taken from the White House during his first term.
In 2023, Trump was charged with illegally retaining sensitive defense information..............

Yes, a president who is a criminal, insurrectionist, and an enemy of the Constitution an arrest perfectly lawful and warranted.

To say nothing of the obvious fact he's completely off his nut.
Where's a massive bursting aneurysm when you really need one? I'm really sick of his demise taking so damned long. 🙄

WITHOUT mentioning there were ALREADY two appeals before the 11th Circuit and more likely to come.
Nothing is "Permanently Blocked" until the appeals are exhausted.
