Quite the opposite, in fact. #JackSmith, who spent >2 years aggressively collecting evidence to prove #Trump mishandled #ClassifiedDocuments & tried to overturn the results of the #2020election, appears eager to publicly challenge a foundational pillar of #MAGA canon: that Trump was a sinned-upon innocent who did nothing to deserve scrutiny, much less 2 prosecutions.

…Until now, #Trump, in the half-joking estimation of one longtime adviser, has been able to order up investigations of his political enemies like Ubers.

But in two low-key but self-assured appearances over the past six weeks, #JackSmith has made it unmistakably clear that he will not only defend himself but take a hammer to Trump’s exaggerated or false claims about his work as special counsel.

Whether #JackSmith gets the chance to confront his accusers on the biggest official stage available to him, a public #House or #Senate hearing, remains very much an open question. Some #Republicans have privately expressed concern that #Trump’s quest for vengeance could backfire by giving a credible anticorruption investigator an open mic.

#JackSmith has told people in his orbit that he welcomes the opportunity to present the public case against #Trump denied to him by #SCOTUS decision asserting broad presidential #immunity from prosecution & adverse rulings from a Trump-appointed judge on the federal bench in Florida.

The #Trump #DOJ has placed 2 federal prosecutors in Washington on leave a day after they filed a document in court that referred to the #Jan6, 2021, attack on the #US Capitol as a “riot” carried out by a “mob,” 2 people familiar with the matter said.

Imagine if they’d called it what it actually was, an #insurrection carried out by #insurgents.

All charges related to Taranto’s conduct at the Capitol that day were dismissed as a result of #Trump’s clemency orders.
By that time, however, prosecutors had charged Taranto with additional #crimes stemming from a return trip he made to Washington in June 2023. He live-streamed himself making threats against several high-profile people & the headquarters of the National Institute of Standards & Technology, acc/to an arrest affidavit filed in his case.

#law #Jan6 #insurrection #whitewashing

In court filings, they said Taranto had entered the building with the crowd of #Trump supporters & later tussled with MPD officers who were trying to repel the crowds. Once forced outside, court documents allege, Taranto also fought with other #insurrection participants on the Capitol steps, using his cane to fend them off.

Since then, the #DOJ has dismissed or reassigned several of the prosecutors who led cases against those accused in the #insurrection, particularly in the #USattorney’s office for #DC, where Valdivia & White work.
Prosecutors charged Taranto, a 39-yo married father of 2, in 2023 with misdemeanors stemming from his role in the #Jan6 attack.

#Trump #law #history #facts #SeditiousConspiracy #coup #whitewashing #gaslighting #propaganda

Although Valdivia & White were the primary signatories to the sentencing memo in Taranto’s case, the document also bore the name of #USAttorney #JeaninePirro, who was nominated for the role by #Trump.

The suspensions follow efforts by Trump & allies to rewrite the narrative of the #Jan6. Trump, in one of his first EOs after his return to the White House in January, pardoned hundreds of people who had been convicted of participating in the #insurrection….

#law #whitewashing #propaganda

Assistant #US #attorneys Carlos Valdivia & Samuel White were told they were being suspended just hours after they filed a sentencing recommendation in a case against Taylor Taranto, a Washington state man accused of participating in the #Jan6 #insurrection who is now facing sentencing for unrelated #weapons charges, acc/to people familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of #retribution.

@ProPublica Under Trump care will never be taken that the laws be faithfully executed.
And Contempt of Court, the Constitution & the Laws is official administration policy.

@ProPublica Any idea from under which ideological headstone the subverters of public schools crept back into daylight?

"[T]o our advancement in all that has marked our progress in the past century, I suggest for your earnest consideration, and most earnestly recommend it, that a constitutional amendment be submitted to the legislatures of the several States for ratification, making it the duty of each of the several States to establish and forever maintain free public schools adequate to the education of all the children in the rudimentary branches within their respective limits, irrespective of sex, color, birthplace, or religions..."
