One of the things most frustrating for Trump\u2019s opponents was that every trial or hearing seemed to give Trump a boost in the polls. As cases piled up in Washington, New York, Florida and Georgia, the effort seemed to move more toward political acclamation than isolation.<\/p>\n<p>These cases are now legal versions of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Flying_Dutchman\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Flying Dutchman<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 ships destined to sail endlessly but never make port.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If there is a single captain of that hapless crew, it is Special Counsel Jack Smith.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For more than a year, Smith sought to secure a verdict in one of his two cases\u00a0in Washington and Florida before the election. His urgency was seemingly shared by Judge Tanya Chutkan in Washington, but by few other judges or justices.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Around 2 am, Smith became a lame-duck prosecutor.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Trump ran on ending his prosecutions and can cite a political mandate for it. Certainly, had he lost, the other side would be claiming a mandate for these prosecutions.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>      <span class=\"field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden\"><a title=\"View user profile.\" href=\"https:\/\/cms.zerohedge.com\/users\/tyler-durden\" class=\"username\">Tyler Durden<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden\">Fri, 11\/08\/2024 &#8211; 12:30<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u200b<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/political\/jack-smith-tucks-tail-halts-trump-case-house-gop-demands-he-preserve-records\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/political\/jack-smith-tucks-tail-halts-trump-case-house-gop-demands-he-preserve-records<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jack Smith Tucks Tail, Halts Trump Case As House GOP Demands He &#8216;Preserve Records&#8217; Special Counsel Jack Smith has moved to pause his case against&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":1501233,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1501232","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","wpcat-1-id"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pbimBl-6ixq","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/11\/trump20smith1_3-2zddnb.jpeg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1501232","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1501232"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1501232\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1501233"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1501232"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1501232"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1501232"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
