Special counsel Jack Smith in Washington last August to announce the indictment of former president Donald Trump on charges concerning his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. A fleeting question Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas posed to Donald Trump’s lawyer during oral arguments in the Trump immunity case in late April may have been a harbinger.
But the effort also gets at a long-standing Republican campaign to question the legality of special counsels. And while those efforts have previously failed, some fear they could loom over efforts to hold Trump accountable, regardless of when the federal trials might be held. and her handling of the case: that she’s slow-walking it and treating Trump’s fanciful delay tactics way more seriously than they deserve.
