South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham has sent an ominous message to special counsel Jack Smith as Donald Trump was on the precipice of being announced as the winner of the 2024 election.

Early on Wednesday morning, mere moments before Trump took the stage in West Palm Beach, Florida, to give his victory speech, Graham posted a note on X “to Jack Smith and your team”.


“It is time to look forward to a new chapter in your legal careers as these politically motivated charges against President Trump hit a wall,” Graham wrote.

..............


Smith and his team detailed their case against Trump in a 165-page filing that was unsealed in October, in which they argued that Trump should not be entitled to immunity from prosecution. In the filing, federal prosecutors said that Trump “resorted to crimes” in a failed bid to cling to power after losing the 2020 election and that he is not entitled to immunity from prosecution.


......................
Since the unsealing of Smith’s case in October, Trump has spoken publicly about how he would immediately fire Smith if he were re-elected.

It is more than a warning. I am sure that with the help of Graham and other Repugs, the first thing Trump will do Jan 20 is to pardon himself--then fire Jack Smith.

This election was all about Trumps self-preservation--and we will see the dreaded results come Jan 20.

2. LG still carries water for Trump because (supposedly) he fears that embarrassing photos will be released *

* I've heard people saying, but I don't know if it's true.

3. I mean. Hes not wrong.

4. ...and we will see the dreaded results come Jan 20.

A date that will live in infamy

5. The vile thing said he would go after his "enemies." He meant it. Firing is the least

of Jack Smith's problems.

6. The wheels of Justice turn slow

Too slow for its own good it seems.

7. Gangsters.

Every last one of them.

8. Maybe it is time for Lindsey Graham

to consider his future in a Republican party consumed by hate of everything LGBTQ.

[Wonder Why]

9. The weasels strike again!

[Harker]

10. Of Trumpsky's loathsome remoras, Graham is among the most despicable.

I don't fully see how he's avoided becoming shark feces.

11. I Can't Fucking Stand Lindsey.

That corrupt, spineless, amoral, duplicitous, piece of shit (to all shit, I apologize for insulting you) makes me almost as sick to hear, or read about, as Cantaloupe Caligula. 🤬

[FBaggins]

12. Looks more like trolling than a warning

He knows this ends most of the prosecutions (and, indeed, Smith reportedly is winding them down).
