Special counsel Jack Smith asked for a pause in the lawfare cases against Donald Trump. He went back to the judge to ask him if he can hit a “pause” and give him a month to formally request how to move forward. It could be the first step in ending the prosecution.

The Justice Department has a long-standing policy against prosecuting sitting presidents.
Knowing Jack Smith, he might not be ready to drop the cases and be looking for a way to continue them in the future. NBC News said it’s the beginning of an effort to end them. We’ll see.
It’s hard to envision him going quietly. He’s a bad copper.
He better preserve his records.
