Special Counsel Jack Smith Makes Dirty Play In Trump DC Case - Could Effect 2024 Election

Hey ladies and gentlemen, this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America, and Jack Smith

has just made a ridiculous move in the D.C. courts, but if he gets his way, it could really

destroy Trump's 2024 chances. Before we get started, please make sure you like, comment, share, and subscribe

So Jack Smith has petitioned the judge in Trump's D.C. criminal case to start the trial

on January 2, 2024. This date is significant for a number of reasons, but what Smith also said in his filing is

very significant for a major reason that could show we're talking about election interference here

I'll explain. January 2 is two weeks before the first in the nation Iowa caucuses

That's when the first Republicans in the country are going to cast their votes for the Republican nominee

You're going to have this man in a criminal court defending himself two weeks before the

opening salvo in the Republican primary race. The start of the race is when the nomination can be determined

You don't get traction in the first two, three, four races, you're done

You start losing donors, your campaign sinks. Smith bringing this up at this time is crazy

He also told the judge that he believes the case could be done in four to six weeks

Also crazy. Now, Ellie Honing from CNN, again, not a Trump supporter, but a legal expert, even he said

This was a super aggressive date because of the amount of discovery that has to be done

in the case. You're talking about hundreds of thousands of documents that have to be reviewed by the defense

Hours upon hours of security footage spanning several states all to make this happen and

you want to get it done by January? It's almost impossible. But something Smith said in his notes also jumped out at Ellie Honig

He said it was in the best interest of the country, of the nation, to do this trial as

quickly as possible. Well, that's basically saying let's do this before the election without saying let's do

this before the election because he can't even bring up the election in his documents

He can't. But he's basically saying it without saying it. Now most judges would say this is crazy

We can't do this. Then the defense would give their idea for a date and they probably meet somewhere in

the middle. But this judge, this judge is harsh and she's been very harsh on the rioters of January

6th as well. She's a tough punisher. Everybody knows it. And she doesn't seem like she's much of a fan of former President Donald Trump

So you could have a situation where the judge either okays the January 2nd date or something

very close to it. Either way, what you're talking about here is tantamount really to getting involved in

an election in a way that a court should not get involved in an election

And it's a dangerous precedent. And if this is allowed to stand, very dangerous for Trump, very dangerous for his chances

of re-election. It could sink his entire campaign. And that's really not fair

But we want your opinion on this. Let us know in the comments what you think. What date should it be

Should it wait till after the election? Should the election not be a factor at all

Let me know in the comments. Also, please remember to like, share and subscribe because that really helps us out
