Special counsel Jack Smith’s final report on the Trump Jan. 6 case breaks little new evidentiary ground but suggests plenty of criticism for the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court's decision on presidential immunity made Jack Smith's prosecution of Trump much more difficult.

However, the federal judge continued to block the classified documents case portion of the special counsel's final report.

The report calls Trump's claims that the special counsel was influenced by Biden for political reasons "laughable."

Special Counsel Jack Smith's final report on his investigation into Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election could soon be released, as a federal appeals court on Thursday greenlit its release—though Trump could still try to take the issue to the Supreme Court, and a second volume of Smith's report will stay under wraps.

Jack Smith's report says prosecutors could have convicted Trump had his election win not prevented the case from proceeding.

Like me on the hardwood, Jack Smith was a prosecutorial force when unopposed, undefeated when uncontested. But put him on (or in) the court, with a judge and defense team and political reality standing in the way, and he’s produced tepid results.

Judge Aileen Cannon on Monday cleared the way for the release anytime after midnight Tuesday morning of special counsel Jack Smith’s report into President-elect Donald Trump’s Jan. 6 election interference case.

Smith’s letter cited John Adams for the “fundamental value of our democracy that we exist as ‘a government of laws, and not of men.’” But our prized “rule of law” must inevitably be administered by men and women who are subject to being undermined by political attack.

As far as I am aware, with the release of Jack Smith’s report on Trump’s criminal culpability for the events of Jan. 6, 2021, Trump is the first person in American history to be investigated by two separate special counsels.

Smith led the federal cases against Donald Trump on charges of trying to overturn his 2020 election defeat and mishandling of classified documents. Trump suggested he might seek retribution.
