Trump lashes out at 'deranged' Jack Smith in Sunday night Truth Social rant about legal woes

Donald Trump lashed out at Justice Department Special Counsel Jack Smith, US Attorney General Merrick Garland and his own successor President Joe Biden in his latest tirade on Truth Social on Sunday night, where he once again claimed to be the victim of a “coordinated HOAX” orchestrated by his enemies to rob him of a return to the White House.

Mr Trump was informed by Mr Smith last week that he is the target of a grand jury investigation into his role in the deadly Capitol riot of 6 January 2021 and in his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election in his favour.

He could be charged as soon as this week, having already been indicted twice this year over hush money payments allegedly made during his 2016 election campaign and over his alleged mishandling of classified documents in the aftermath of his presidency.

Writing on his social network late on Sunday night, Mr Trump raged about his legal troubles.

“Every time you see these Radical Lunatics and their partners in the Fake News Media talking about the ‘Trials and Tribulations’ of President Donald J. Trump, please remember that it is all a coordinated HOAX, just like Russia, Russia, Russia, the ‘No Collusion’ Mueller Witch Hunt, the Fake Dossier, FISA Fraud, and all of the rest, in order to STEAL ANOTHER ELECTION through PROSECUTORIAL MISCONDUCT at levels never seen before in the U.S. Deranged Jack Smith has already spent over $25,000,000!!!” he fumed.

Your LACK of morals and your character with these deranged outbursts, make you UNFIT for any office.

It is obvious to us here at DU, that once the hammer falls on T2FIFG, Seditious Conspiracy will be the most serious charge facing him. The testimonies from the Jan.6th Committee, the evidence gathered, will be too much to defend against.

If Jack Smith can put away the Serbian War Criminal Slobodan Milosovich, he can easily put away one DJT for crimes against the United States, its Government, as well as its people.

.... And today will be even worse if he is indicted by the G.J. for J-6th.

The man is more than a little responsible for the 14 million who have died from C-19
worldwide. I hope he is suffering badly. Good!

Cannon should have issued a gag order long ago. No toher defendent would be allowed to take to the media to assail their prosecutor.

Justice matters.

She's a maga through and through, no matter how much she tries to look impartial.

Won't happen in DC nor in Atlanta.

I think that Trump's postings are generated by a bot. It picks from a library of oft-used complaints (and insults) and then stitches them together into a single post.

And, "deranged" has been appropriately added to my signature line.

If one of us is, we all are in the Trumpublican mindset.

Look at this very very evil person ( as John Kelly referred to him) carrying on like a child, fashioning himself as always the victim. Poor Donny.
