'Political hijacking': Ranting Trump celebrates dismissal motion of Jack Smith's case

Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform on Monday to react to the move by special counsel Jack Smith to "dismiss the federal charges against him for interfering in the 2020 presidential election.

These charges could theoretically be brought again after Trump leaves office if the political will exists at the time. But for now, Trump appears home free on the federal front — and he celebrated with a rage-filled post accusing Smith baselessly of a political witch hunt, and baselessly accusing him of orchestrating various other state cases against him as well.

"These cases, like all of the other cases I have been forced to go through, are empty and lawless, and should never have been brought," he wrote. "Over $100 Million Dollars of Taxpayer Dollars has been wasted in the Democrat Party’s fight against their Political Opponent, ME. Nothing like this has ever happened in our Country before."

"They have also used State Prosecutors and District Attorneys, such as Fani Willis and her lover, Nathan Wade (who had absolutely zero experience in cases such as this, but was paid MILLIONS, enough for them to take numerous trips and cruises around the globe!), Letitia James, who inappropriately, unethically, and probably illegally, campaigned on 'GETTING TRUMP' in order to win Political Office, and Alvin Bragg, who himself never wanted to bring this case against me, but was forced to do so by the Justice Department and the Democrat Party."

"It was a political hijacking, and a low point in the History of our Country that such a thing could have happened, and yet, I persevered, against all odds, and WON," he added. "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"

The classified documents case, also brought by Smith, will also remain dismissed, as the government no longer will appeal the lower court decision throwing it out; they may continue to do so for Trump's co-defendants in that case, Walt Nauta and Carlos de Oliveira, but Trump's Justice Department can dismiss those as well after he takes office.

All of this leaves the Manhattan criminal case, where Trump was already convicted, but where prosecutors now want sentencing postponed until after his presidency.
