What is thought to be the remains of Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg were found sitting in the chair of the DA yesterday. Washington Special Counsel Jack Smith reported the findings along with a prepared statement "You guys are free to pursue the president-elect, I'm quitting this position and moving to Switzerland".
BTW what did I say 6 months ago? Come on you remember. Out with it. I told you none of the charges would stick and the failed effort would boost Donald's brand. Go on. Say it! I'm the Dali Lama of news.
Trump Charges Dropped

The judge overseeing the Jan. 6 election interference case against President-elect Donald Trump dropped charges yesterday, following a request from Special Counsel Jack Smith. Smith similarly moved to dismiss charges against Trump, accusing him of illegally retaining classified documents after leaving office.
In filings (read here), Smith said his view of the case remained unchanged but cited the Justice Department's long-standing legal perspective that federal prosecution of a sitting president is unconstitutional. In the election interference case, prosecutors alleged Trump conspired to interfere with the 2020 election and obstruct the official certification of electoral votes (see previous write-up).
Charges were brought last August, with the trial delayed by a legal challenge in which the Supreme Court ultimately ruled former presidents have some immunity to criminal prosecution for acts in office. Smith subsequently refiled updated charges 10 weeks ahead of the election.
