Jack Smith will not seek expedited hearings in Donald Trump case

Donald Trump can breathe a little sigh of relief.

At least for now, the former president is getting much-needed legal victory, as Breitbart reports.

The outlet is reporting that "Special Counsel Jack Smith reversed course in his quest to seek expedited hearings in his Washington, D.C., case against former President Donald Trump."

Smith had originally been hoping for to the hearings to be held, thinking that they would be his chance to determine "which actions that Trump allegedly took he could charge in his election interference case against the president."

In other words, until now, Smith hasn't actually slowed down to think about what Trump acts may have been official presidential acts in light of a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity, because Smith just wanted Trump charged for everything.

It's a perfect example of how this isn't a civilized proceeding against Trump, it's a witch hunt.

Ever since the Supreme Court's decision, issued on July 1, stating that "presidents enjoy partial immunity for actions taken in office in an official capacity," Smith has been scrambling to figure out how he can successfully continue to prosecute our former and future president.

Smith is facing an uphill battle against Trump if the case does continue on its current course, he is also having a heck of a time even getting the case to trial in the first place.

According to Breitbart:

Before Smith relented in his latest push to expedite the increasingly shaky case, Judge Tanya Chutkan had planned to hold hearings in the fall to determine which of Trump’s acts were official acts subject to prosecution. That determination will now occur after the election — if it occurs at all.

Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung released a statement about the situation:

"The Comrade Kamala Harris-Crooked Joe Biden witch hunts against President Trump have imploded just like their failed campaign and should all be dismissed in light of the Supreme Court’s historic decision on immunity and other vital jurisprudence," he said.

He continued, "It is now abundantly clear to everyone that dangerously liberal Democrats like Kamala Harris weaponized the justice system against their chief political opponent in order to interfere in the election. The lies of the liberal lawfare pursuit of President Trump have blown up spectacularly. President Trump’s team will continue to fight and defeat the hoaxes at every turn. Only President Trump and JD Vance can save our Constitution and Make America Great Again."
