What Special Counsel Jack Smith Said About the Trump Indictment Was Eye-Opening
Matt Vespa / Townhall Tipsheet
 
Trump has been indicted. The official document was unsealed, but we’ve all known its contents for hours. While the Stormy Daniels indictment, where Trump is essentially charged with campaign finance violations, misdemeanor charges elevated as felonies, is pure legal gobbledygook, this classified document case is slightly different. If they could get Trump on Daniels, it was almost a foregone conclusion he would get indicted in the aftermath of the Mar-a-Lago raid in August of 2022. That being said, dismissing the indictment filed by Special Counsel Jack Smith is harder. Classified documents were stored in the bathroom. And while I hate to concede defeat to The Washington Post, their initial story about nuclear secrets allegedly being on-site essentially was true. The recordings are also damning, making it much easier for anti-Trump zealots at the Department of Justice to do their work. 
 
Yet, it’s what Smith said during his presser that raised eyebrows. It’s also patently false, given the circumstances. Our friends at Twitchy highlighted it first. See tweets and videss here.
