DOJ to Drop Lawfare Cases?

Jack Smith is reportedly in discussions with the DOJ to drop the two federal lawfare cases against Trump. Less than 24 hours after Trump won, the cases are going away. What a coincidence! Could it be that they are no longer necessary, that they failed to serve their purpose, so there is no need to waste any more time on them?

Trump announced his candidacy for the 2024 nomination on November 15, 2022. Smith was appointed as special counsel on November 18, 2022. Three days later. What a coincidence!

The DOJ's excuse for dropping the cases is that they have a policy against prosecuting a sitting president. But they ignored their policy against prosecuting a major party candidate within 60 days of an election. Why not ignore this policy?

Moreover, Trump has not been elected yet. The electors must be appointed by the states by December 11, and they gather to cast their votes on December 17. So technically Trump has not been elected yet. And he's not the sitting president until January 20. There are over two months to push the cases against him.

The cases had been so terribly important and urgent until today, when suddenly they matter not a whit. HA HA HA!
