Jack Smith particularly interested in Dec. 2020 Trump meeting

On Thursday night, Donald Trump continued what has become a long line of rants against special counsel Jack Smith, tagging the veteran prosecutor with the word “deranged” and once again trying to completely flip the meaning of the Presidential Records Act. Such frothing statements are typical of Trump but they’ve become more frequent and frantic in recent weeks as it becomes clear that the other case against Trump, the one about his involvement in attempts to overturn the 2020 election, may be far more serious than the classified documents case Trump has already been indicted for..

Trump is now facing 37 felony charges in the classified documents case, including multiple violations of the Espionage Act, conspiracy to obstruct justice, and scheming to conceal documents from a federal investigation. In addition, he’s facing an additional 34 felony charges in New York for falsifying business records in an attempt to cover up his payments to two women with whom he allegedly had adulterous sexual encounters.

However, there’s a growing sense that all this could be the tip of a very large legal iceberg that still lies ahead. Because while Smith’s investigation into the classified documents case has revealed Trump and assistant Walt Nauta moving boxes of top secret documents into bathrooms at Mar-a-Lago, the election fraud investigation looks as if it could ensnare Trump, his advisers, his legal team, and Republicans at both the state and federal level who all conspired to overturn the government of the United States.
