WASHINGTON (AP) " Former Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith, who brought two federal indictments against President Donald Trump, told lawmakers on Tuesday that he "will not be silenced by continued threats of prosecution" from the Trump administration and that he believes the rule of law is being threatened like never before.

Smith also told the Senate Judiciary Committee that he stands behind the criminal cases he brought against Trump, a Republican, and that he and his team acted without regard to politics.

"I made those decisions without regard to President Trump's political association, activities, beliefs or candidacy in the 2024 presidential election," Smith said.

"Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation. If asked whether to prosecute a former president today based on the same facts, I would do so regardless of whether that president was a Republican or a Democrat."

Wow... Trumpers SO afraid of antagonising their wealthy Masters that they will suffer any kind of demeaning treatment of their Gov and of themselves, even to the point of being scared that their Owners will leave them.

Sad, sick, and stupid; very few of the Oligarchs here want to try to survive without America as part of their Marketplace, which should be the first thing that happens to them when they threaten to take their money and products and leave the country.

It's a weak threat that in most cases is easily mitigated... starting with freezing their assets and cutting off their Market access.

Perhaps if he got up offa his knees he could see better.
