Judge Tanya Chutkan just dropped the bombshell we all knew was coming—unsealing Special Counsel Jack Smith’s 165-page “immunity motion” against President Trump. And let’s be real, this isn’t about justice or legal precedent. This is about doing maximum damage to Trump’s 2024 campaign, and everyone knows it.
In this monster-sized motion, Jack Smith argues that Trump can’t hide behind presidential immunity, claiming his actions on January 6 weren’t part of his official duties. Oh, no—according to Smith, Trump’s so-called “scheme” to overturn the election was somehow “private.” Let me get this straight: the sitting president of the United States, concerned about the integrity of an election, suddenly isn’t acting as the president but as a private citizen? That’s the logic Smith is using here. In his own words: “Although the defendant was the incumbent President…his scheme was fundamentally a private one.”

It sounds like Smith is more interested in bending definitions than upholding the law. Apparently, Trump’s actions were so “private” that they’ve warranted endless investigations, impeachments, and now this endless court circus. But sure, let’s call them private actions. That seems to be the left’s favorite play—make every Trump move a criminal one, as long as it keeps him from getting anywhere near the White House again.
This isn’t the first time Jack Smith’s strategy has screamed “political hit job.” Last week, he managed to get Judge Chutkan’s blessing to file a massive 180-page opening brief. Yes, 180 pages! This thing is four times the standard page limit in D.C. courts, and Trump’s legal team is right to call it out for what it is: a thinly veiled attempt to dominate the media narrative right before the election. You know, the same media that’s been doing their best to sink Trump since 2016.
Trump’s lawyers hit the nail on the head when they pointed out the real issue here: Smith’s biased, cherry-picked version of events is being handed to the public while Trump is *gagged* by the court from responding. Convenient, right? What better way to shape the election narrative than by drowning it in 180 pages of allegations that Trump can’t even fully defend himself against?
In the end, this case isn’t about the law—it’s about timing. The left’s desperation to keep Trump out of the White House couldn’t be more obvious. They’re using the courts as a political weapon, and anyone who isn’t blinded by partisanship can see that from a mile away.
