President-elect Trump faced charges over his handling of classified documents and his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss, which culminated in the U.S. Capitol attack.
Because this is federal the chain of command goes from Jack Smith through one or a few other people before landing on Trump (once he takes office). Trump can simply order people down the line to dismiss the charges with prejudice, making it so they can never be re-filed again. If the charges are just dropped at this point, he’d have to order them to be re-charged then dismiss. Which honestly, I don’t see him suffering any backlash at all if he did. His supporters are fucking stupid and fucking crazy.
He’s dropping them now because its the only move that might revive them when Trump is out. If his old ass lives that long.
Could you explain what you mean? Does dropping the case mean they can prosecute him for the same crimes later?
They’re not dropping charges but rather prosecution iirc.
Make sure to parrot this everywhere. There is a lot of misunderstanding going on right now.
Ah ok, I see what you mean. Thank you

Much appreciated
The evil ones always live the longest, annoyingly.
