And Jack Smith's evil plan for Donald Trump? Well it's been revealed from an unlikely source

Look everybody knows what Jack Smith's doing. He's rushing this case to the Supreme Court to check on presidential immunity

Everything he's done in this case against Trump has been a rush and it's been a rush for one reason and one reason only

Smith wants to see Trump convicted before the November 2024 election. And that's why I believe this is purely political and not legal

I'm not the only one that thinks so. CNN's Eli Honig, a legal expert, he said that's what Jack Smith's plan is

Let's take a look. Do you agree with me that Smith and Judge Chutkin are acting based on the election schedule

I do agree with you Michael and I think any fair-minded observer has to agree with that

as well. Just look at Jack Smith's conduct in this case. The motivating principle behind every procedural request he's made has been speed, has been

getting this trial in before the election. Let's take a couple examples

The trial date. The average federal conspiracy and fraud trial takes about a year and a half to two years

between indictment and trial. In this case we have dozens, hundreds of January 6th rioters caught on video, straightforward cases

They too were given about a year and a half to two years between indictment and trial. Jack Smith originally requested a trial date for Donald Trump, a far more complex case

five months out. He wanted a January trial. It was set for two months later

So Donald Trump is being given far less time to prepare than other defendants

And the actions this week. Jack Smith won an argument on immunity in the district court and then went right to

the Supreme Court. I think a right move. I think the smart move. The only reason you ask the Supreme Court to do that on an expedited basis is if you're

racing against the clock and Jack Smith clearly is doing that here. Okay

I referred to the election as the Voldemort of the petition that he filed

Why not say that? Why not simply say there's an election on the horizon and I'm afraid this guy's going

to get away. You will never hear either Jack Smith or Judge Chuck can utter that E word election

They will not specifically say it. Instead, they use this sort of euphemistic language about the need for resolution, that

kind of thing. And that's why I think Jack Smith is not willing to do it. Two reasons

First of all, DOJ rules on written and written both say you are not supposed to do anything

that could impact an election. In fact, you are supposed to affirmatively try not to take steps that might impact an election

And the second thing, and I think Jack Smith is right about this, is if he is to say, okay

judge, we really need to try this case before the election. Donald Trump is going to seize on that aggressively

He's going to say, see, folks, when I tell you this is political, Jack Smith is now admitted

that he wants me tried before the election and that's political. So I think he's very wary of that. Okay

So then evaluate the we agree. We agree that he is acting

Judge Chuck is acting with an eye toward the election calendar. Now I want to hear Ellie Honig assess the propriety of him doing exactly what he's doing

because on one hand, you could say, well, he's being political. On the other hand, I guess you would say, Ellie, like you probably back in the day

he's an aggressive prosecutor. He's worked the case up. He wants to get before a jury. Right

I don't like the artifice here. I don't like the game playing the wordsmanship that we're seeing

I think Jack Smith ought to just come out and say it or not. Here's the arguments both ways

First of all, if Jack Smith is trying to get this case tried before the election and he

clearly is, look, that is political. I mean, the counter argument would be, well, Jack Smith just wants the American voters

to have resolution before they go to the ballot box. And I understand that as a voter, I would like to know

But here's the problem with that argument, Michael. Jack Smith doesn't just want to get this trial done and let the chips fall where they may

and let the consequences be what they can be. He's the prosecutor

He believes this case. He wants this case to result in conviction

And so his position isn't just, well, I want this case tried before the election

His position really as a practical matter is I want Donald Trump convicted before the election

I have no problem with the first part of that. It's his job to want and try to convict Donald Trump now that he's indicted

But the second part of that before the election, that's where it crosses the line to the political

in my view. Now, if he's just trying to be a legal beagle and do things by the book, why is he rushing

so much? Why is it so important to him to get this done before the election

Well, I'll tell you, because after the election, Trump could pardon himself and end this case

That's what he's concerned about. Trump winning. That's what they're all concerned about
