Special Counsel Jack Smith hits back hard after Donald Trump demands that the Supreme Court refuse to rule on his supposed "presidential immunity," saying that the "public interest" requires a "prompt resolution" because the charges are of "utmost gravity."
As usual, Smith did not mince words...
Trump is currently begging the court NOT to step in and rule on his claim to immunity, because he wants as many delays and hurdles in place ahead of his criminal case. Clearly, Trump is deathly afraid that they'll rule against him.
"The public interest in a prompt resolution of this case favors an immediate, definitive decision by this Court. The charges here are of the utmost gravity," wrote Smith in his new filing to the justices.
Appropriately, Smith compared this case to the Watergate scandal.
"Here, the stakes are at least as high, if not higher: the resolution of the question presented is pivotal to whether the former President himself will stand trial – which is scheduled to begin less than three months in the future," stated Smith.
The Special Counsel went on to state that Trump "stands accused of serious crimes because the grand jury followed the facts and applied the law. The government seeks this Court’s resolution of the immunity claim so that those charges may be promptly resolved, whatever the result."
"Enforcing federal criminal laws that prohibit such conduct is vital to protecting our constitutional processes and democracy itself," he added.
Jack Smith is clearly in the right here. The only people who could possibly take Trump's side on this issue are diehard MAGA extremists. The Supreme Court must heed Smith's request.
