Trump leaves potential Biden and Jack Smith prosecution to Bondi and Patel: ‘Disgrace’

President-elect Donald Trump refused to pledge prosecutorial vengeance against President Joe Biden and special counsel Jack Smith.

Less than three weeks after Trump bested Vice President Kamala Harris in the Nov. 5 elections, Smith dismissed his case that centered on Trump’s actions on January 6, 2021, and his case of Trump’s handling of classified documents. Smith faced accusations of political lawfare online after his filing, but Trump skirted a question on Meet the Press Sunday about whether he’d retaliate with lawfare.

HOW TRUMP COULD IMPACT THE PENTAGON

“I will say this, no, I’m not doing that unless I find something that I think is reasonable, but that’s not going to be my decision,” Trump said, instead pointing to his Attorney General appointee Pam Bondi and FBI Director appointee Kash Patel. “That’s going to be Pam Bondi’s decision, and, to a different extent, Kash Patel, assuming they’re both there, and I think they’re both going to get approved. But I — I — you know, while you ask me that, what they’ve done to me with weaponization is a disgrace.”

A fellow member of Trump’s administration Mike Huckabee, soon to be the ambassador to Israel, agreed that “the law is on his side” and Trump will not need any extrajudicial help in pursuing acquittals. While some have suggested that President Joe Biden should pardon Trump, Huckabee disagreed and suggested Trump will prevail in the courts.

Smith had attempted to speed up his cases against Trump and go to trial before this month’s election. These cases, even though they occurred at the end of Trump’s first term in 2020, weren’t brought to light until after Trump announced his reelection campaign.

Trump is still convicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. Judge Juan Merchan opted to indefinitely postpone his sentencing since he won the Oval Office.

A Supreme Court ruling granting Trump some presidential immunity prompted Trump’s lawyers to call to dismiss the case of election interference against him in Georgia. Their filing has yet to be ruled on by the Court of Appeals. Trump pleaded not guilty to every charge against him.
