Summary
With Donald Trump’s re-election, the Department of Justice (DOJ) is preparing to suspend federal criminal cases against him, as longstanding policy bars prosecuting a sitting president.
Special counsel Jack Smith, who previously pressed forward on charges related to January 6 and classified documents, must now consider unwinding these cases.
The DOJ’s stance follows a 2000 memo suggesting impeachment, not prosecution, as the proper recourse for a sitting president.
Trump’s legal team is also strategizing to dismiss or delay other cases, viewing his victory as a mandate to end “weaponization” of the justice system.

This is the part that pisses me off so fucking much. It’s EXACTLY what they plan on doing and with a complete disregard for the actual law and rubber stamp judges they’re going to fast track prosecution where it took years to move anything related to Trump…
I expect to see multiple arrests within the first two years as opposed to 4+ years of feet dragging for Trump…
