‘Amen’: Legal analyst reacts to Trump special counsel’s decision

CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig says it's better late than never now that special counsel Jack Smith subpoenaed Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger as part of the Justice Department's investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election and the US Capitol attack on January 6, 2021.

  1. When poor people are caught stealing they are thrown in jail. When rich people are caught stealing they’re asked politely to give it back. 🤷‍♂

    1. MTG’s texts and others are connected to the January 6th insurrection.
      I’m certain she and her mouth will be subpoenaed.

    2. Comparing the performance of President Biden and former President Trump during their administrations, the happiness index of the American people and the U.S. stock market, inflation, employment rate, GDP growth, interest rates, and foreign performance in power, Donald Trump is the only one in the United States after World War II that did not launch American president at war.

  2. We spent so much time and energy, fortifying walls around our beloved “shining city on a hill,” that we failed to pay attention to the termites eroding the foundation and the rats infesting the walls within.

    1. Hey, D. Smith ! Did you take that termite analogy from me?!? No problem either way.
      My quip involves Ted Cruz, who is a Constitutional scholar (like him or not,) but he uses his scholarship to chew through our Constitution like ….
      There’s some more to the quip but all I can say to you is _WELL PLAYED INDEED!_

    2. @Cowboy Bob
      I’m sure many have made the analogy before me. Busy little bugs generally go completely unnoticed until things start literally falling apart. Fact is this insidious erosion has been ongoing for (at least) the last 8 decades! Sorry to say, we’re not going to repair this damage in the next few years.. but we had best recognize the urgency of the moment!

    3. @Marylean Berry The real amen will come when Chump and his criminal cronies are indicted, prosecuted, and in jail.

  3. What is Margarine Traitor Greene talking about “winning” regarding J6? I thought earlier she said the people in the building were just tourists? If you are a tourists in the Capitol building, what is there to “win”? Why would you need to be armed? She knew from before J6 what was going to happen, and she’s upset she wasn’t included more in the planning of it.

    1. @Toke Joker he’s still a threat to democracy in the u.s., son. There’s a lot of gullible people(i.e. Republicans) that think he’s the second coming. He should be tried for his crimes, and found guilty.

    2. @Will Tell All Soros uses his money to promote democracy around the world and here at home, only a seditious traitor would have a problem with that.

    3. She admitted on camera the day before j6 she was at the Capitol planning the attack on the 6th. Jack Smith is gonna want a few words with her.

  4. MTG is recruiting for the next insurrection. And she is letting her minions know she expects them to arrive armed.

    1. @fiddysiks  Yeah that’s what I call your mom. Do better little man or uncle Vladimir will find you a new position In Ukraine.

  5. I gotta say, as a special persecutor, Jack Smith, is doing his job for the Department of Justice. (He has issued subpoenas.) And, federal courts, are ready to hear these people, who have been asked to testify, before a grand jury. 🌻(The day of January 6th was almost two years ago.) Former President Donald Trump still thinks, it wasn’t that bad. He refused to testify, or to bring documents, which Congress asked him to do. Nope. ☀️Hopefully, Jack Smith sees this as well. Justice is needed. 👀😇…☕️…🌟…💕

    1. @Harvest Smiles
      Why double post? Need to make sure I saw it? “Red pill normies”? Are you a mid twenties 4 chan vet ensconced in mommy’s basement, fingers encrusted in Cheeto dust? You’re a cliché of the highest order.

    2. @Harvest Smiles Blamed Biden’s campaign for censoring free speech when it was Trump’s US Government who asked Twitter to censor free speech. You know the thing you idiots blamed Biden of doing when he wasn’t even in office BOT. What was it Trump’s US Gov censored on Twitter? Another thing the Mutter files show is the special treatment right wingers got on Twitter. Why? Plz stop making me defend corporate corrupt Biden and lefties. Corporations pockets or Putin’s? NO CONTEST BOT, Im not American but vote conservative. Iv no dog in this fight. Trumps ruined the reputation and trust America spent decades building around the World. Trust is earned in drop’s but lost in buckets 🤡

    3. @Harvest Smiles Maybe do a little fact checking before making a stupid comment, you’re the second idiot who’s asked me that today. Im tried of doing it for you trolls but I know I still need to cause even after knowing this you’s dumb f*cks wont say a word about any of it and still ask dumb f*cking questions. How many former Trump aides have been found guilty of child porn again? It seems like this isn’t just by chance anymore. Answer me this does Trump like hiring little right wing MAGA pedos? It seems like the Rep party draws in that type of scumbag somehow. I wonder what it could be???

    1. @mile_high_topher 100 stolen classified documents? Is that a fact? And I’d say there’s a tad more to the laptop story than crack smoking.

    2. @mile_high_topher Gee, I thought that Trump investigation was still going on and nothing had been proven yet. But obviously what you say and what’s reality are the same. Liberals have that power. I keep forgetting that.

  6. They could have protected those kids if they cared enough. We had parents running in and helping more than the police did. You don’t need a policy to realize what it would take to save children

    1.

  7. It’s unfair on how things have turned up to be due to the recent world economic crisis things has been so difficult, this isn’t good in the sense that it ends up addicting the civilians financially in different angles of life. we see complains here and there on social media from different people in different parts all round the world

    1. @Ryan Cruz That’s right even at retirement I have lots of investment with Mr Michael Novogratz i made $13,400, I invest in coins and property.

    2. I can boldly tell everyone that he is the only crypto currency expert I can recommend to any body,
      Profits return are real and instantly

    3. I’m from England where I work as a journalist until I met Expert Michael. he’s legit and his method works like magic. i keep earning every single week with his new strategy.

    4. @Ernie Orsino Michael Novogratz is one of the best signal provider, because within my first second week of trading with him , I have increased my portfolio from 1.9 BTC to 2.7 BTC , It’s been a wining and profit streak for me .

    5. I never believed in coin trading until my colleagues became so rich trading, immediately i gave Michael Novogratz try, and ever since then i have been benefiting from the profit of his investment.

  8. Could the reason for the Jan6 committee not freely sharing its information with DOJ be that once released to DOJ, the committee loses its ability to share it with the American public?

    1. Good question. That would imply inside knowledge of the DOJ being so reluctant to prosecute trump that they would bury the evidence from the public.

  9. Now that she’s been fired for being without merit or jurisdiction crackin the Trump whip she also needs to be removed from the bench and disbarred from ever practicing law again on the grounds of total incompetency of her boundary as a judge and dangerously incompetent to the people who appear before her due to her poor or non-existent judgement of her boundary and the law before her.

    1. As soon as our willing suspension of disbelief does, I guess. There is noting plausible or deniable, but it’s diabolic how Puta’s AI crafted the divisions that could destroy our republic – democracy is already on life support

  10. A little nine year old boy lost his life jumping into a frozen pond in a attempt to save the lives of two other little boys he didn’t even know. No excuses for grown men who stands by while 18 children are slaughtered. 😡

  11. Here in Europe these folks would have been in jail 23 months ago. Yes, we have freedom, but your freedom stops when you threaten others freedom.

  12. Nice to see Smith taking this seriously and looking deeply into what happened on January 6th. Maybe we’ll actually see some charges for either inciting the riot or the taking of Classified Documents by Dumpy.

    1. Maybe.
      That’s assuming that Garland doesn’t interfere when Smith gets too close to the wealthy, high-status, power-elite that Garland has spent so much time covering for through that slooooooow-walking.

    2. so i’m kind of confused here, i am from another country and did some research on your politics in usa.. democrats called trump a racist but he had the same immigration policies as obama, democrats tried to say trump inherited something good from obama but obama care was a disaster and ruined most of the country economically where gross domestic product and employment were very low in 2016, obamas last year, well fiscal year that is. Before covid hit trump had unemployment at all time lows never seen in modern times, half a century, january 6th was bad but so many dems rioted and damaged things in inner citys thats just hidden under the rug, do you suppose cnn and other democratic based media wants to talk about jan 6th more as a distraction because elon is going to start to drop the bomb more on censorship from twitter and the government just before the election of hunter and joe bidens overseas scandal? I mean i am actually no political affiliation, but i think you need to put aside your feelings or political views and really look at what you are being told and research, also CNN seems to be your worst news station in your country

  13. She’s on the verge of legal dilemma she will not be capable of escaping with every bigoted word she speaks. It will all come around sooner than later.

  14. For once it would have been great for the DOJ to go after the big guns FIRST, and not pick off the low hanging fruit just because it’s the easiest and looks like you’re being productive to some degree.

    I’m jealous of all countries who imprisoned the coup plotters the very same night they failed to overthrow the existing government. This DOJ is 2 years late, already.

    1. I’m still wondering why coup is pronounced like few with a c instead of a f, but soup that you eat you pronounce the p at the end but not in coup. 😵‍💫😵🤯
