Donald Trump v. Jack Smith: Who Wins?

Meanwhile, the real news about Trump has nothing to do with the outcome of Tuesday’s election in Georgia. It also has nothing to do with the verdict in the New York State case against the Trump Organization. And it certainly has absolutely nothing to do with the report which is going to be issued by the Select Committee about January 6h.

In fact, that report will be, if anything, another example of what Aesop or maybe some guy in Persia once said about how the mountain roared and out came a mouse.

But leaving all those other events aside, the really big deal is what happened last week when local officials in four states — Wisconsin, Arizona, Michigan and Pennsylvania — received subpoenas from a Grand Jury being led by a Federal Prosecutor named Jack Smith.

Remember Jack Smith? He’s the Special Counsel appointed by Merrick Garland to investigate specific connections between Donald Trump and January 6th. And by the way, these subpoenas aren’t served in some polite way like the subpoenas issued by the Select Committee which in some cases were simply ignored.

What happens with a subpoena from a Federal Grand Jury is that there’s a knock on your front door, you open the door and you’re staring at a bunch of nasty-looking guys wearing those nasty, blue uniforms with a badge in front and the letters ‘FBI’ in back. Like the uniforms worn by the team that found all those classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, okay?
