Donald Trump's investigation by
special counsel moves too fast: here's why
Jack Smith
the special adviser tasked with investigating controversial
- former US President Donald Trump
- is being investigated so quickly that former prosecutors have
- come to acknowledge that Trump could be indicted
- as early as the first few months of the new ruling. General.
Despite the many concerns that arose
- from Smith's appointment in the case in mid-November
- many questioned whether his new situation would significantly
- slow down the case and only prove to drag it further.
After being assigned to the post of Special Adviser
he helped to raise these concerns significantly.
Smith was quick to act
presenting a legal brief on Thanksgiving Day as well as a slew of new subpoenas.

After being assigned to the post of Special Adviser, he helped to raise these concerns significantly. Smith was quick to act, presenting a legal brief on Thanksgiving Day as well as a slew of new subpoenas.
Furthermore
mith was certain that he would receive important testimony from the likes of Trump's top allies, including his former speechwriter Stephen Miller as well as former White House lawyers.
Smith also leads investigations into Trump's problematic
- removal of classified
- and highly sensitive government documents
- from the White House seized from his Mar. Current US President Joe Biden.
As special counsel
Smith looks at Trump's various attempts to reverse the election results that
to this day
he still insists were not an appropriate reflection of
the will of the American people (despite clear evidence suggesting otherwise).
Not surprisingly
Smith is also investigating the events of the infamous January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol that saw a wave of Trump supporters breach the first floor, but some cheering the execution of former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence.
According to several criminal lawyers
there is a very specific reason why Smith acted so quickly:
preventing any criminal trial and appeals process from continuing beyond the end of President Biden's term, which could eventually see a new president and/or attorney general obstruct the process.
Barbara McCady
a former federal prosecutor in Detroit, said:
- If they decide to file charges
- they will have to do so in the first quarter of 2023
- otherwise Trump could run out of clock.
Others noted that Smith was working to assemble a group of lawyers known as strong and solid representatives in their fields.
- either in government or private practice
- unless there was a serious possibility that
- the Justice Department was on track to charge
- former U.S.For the Southern District of New York's attorney
- Brett Bharara, said during an interview with the press.
Speaking about the possible timeline for Trump's possible indictment, Bharara added, "I think it will happen in a month."
